[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances for the embodiments of this application described herein.

[0028] As introduced in the background art, in the prior art, outdoor air-conditioning units cannot be protected against adverse weather, which affects the efficiency of the air-conditioning system. To solve the problem that outdoor air-conditioning units cannot be protected against adverse weather, embodiments of this application provide a control method, device, system, and computer-readable storage medium for outdoor air-conditioning units.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] In this embodiment, a control method for an outdoor air-conditioning unit running on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. And although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0031] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the control method for an outdoor air-conditioning unit according to an embodiment of this application. As Figure 1 shown, the outdoor air-conditioning unit at least includes louvers, and the method includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S201, when the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain the outdoor environmental data and obtain the corresponding safety threshold value, where the safety threshold value represents the maximum value of the outdoor environmental data for the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The outdoor environmental data includes outdoor rainfall data, outdoor temperature data, and outdoor dust data, and the outdoor dust data represents the concentration data of dust particles outdoors;

[0033] Specifically, in case of bad weather conditions such as windy, rainy, and sandstorm, when the outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain the outdoor environmental data. For example, monitor the temperature and humidity through a temperature and humidity sensor, monitor the rainfall through a rain sensor, and monitor the air quality (dust concentration) through a PM2.5 sensor, that is, the data characterizing the outdoor environmental situation. And by obtaining the corresponding safety threshold value, to determine whether the outdoor environment will cause damage to the outdoor air conditioner unit. By real-time monitoring and comparing the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety threshold value, the intelligent louver device can dynamically adjust the opening degree of the louvers. For example, when the rainfall exceeds the safety threshold value, immediately adjust it to the rain-proof angle, or close the louvers in an extremely dusty environment to prevent dust and sand particles from entering the interior of the unit.

[0034] Step S202, compare the above-mentioned outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety threshold value to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe, control the opening degree of the louvers of the outdoor air conditioner unit to decrease, so that the outdoor air conditioner unit operates safely;

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, it is a three-dimensional view of the louver 1; Figure 3 The side cross-sectional view of the louver is shown, including the louver frame 2, the louvers 3, and the synchronous motor 4, and the synchronous motor drives the louvers to move; Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the outdoor air conditioner unit including the louver, including the housing 5, the integrated rain sensor 6, the temperature and humidity sensor 7, and the PM2.5 sensor 12. Figure 5It shows a cross-sectional view of an outdoor air conditioner unit, including a housing 5, a fan 8, a controller module 9, a condenser 10, and a compressor 11. The louver 1 is installed at the air inlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The opposite side of the air inlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit is the air outlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The controller module 9 controls the action of the louver according to the comparison result. Compare the outdoor environmental data collected from the sensor with a preset safety threshold, and automatically adjust the opening degree of the louver based on the comparison result to ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can operate under safe conditions. The safety threshold is preset according to experiments and air conditioner operating conditions to define the range of outdoor environmental data and ensure that the air conditioner will not be damaged when operating within these ranges. If the comparison result shows that the environmental data exceeds the safety threshold (i.e., the sensor reading indicates that the outdoor conditions may have an adverse impact on the air conditioner unit), the opening degree of the louver will be automatically reduced to limit the entry of external rain, sand, etc., thereby reducing or avoiding potential damage.

[0036] Step S203, when the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is closed, control the above-mentioned louver to close.

[0037] Specifically, when the air conditioner unit stops running (i.e., in the closed state), whether it is due to daily deactivation, maintenance needs, or power interruption, the closing operation of the louver will be automatically executed. The purpose of this action is to protect the air conditioner unit from the influence of external environmental factors, such as preventing dust, rain, sand, etc. from entering the interior of the unit, thereby reducing damage to internal components and extending the service life of the unit. Compared with the prior art where the louver remains open when the air conditioner unit stops running, it can reduce the influence of external environmental factors on the interior of the air conditioner.

[0038] Through this embodiment, when the outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain the outdoor environmental data and the corresponding safety threshold of the outdoor environmental data, compare the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety threshold to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe, control the opening degree of the louver of the outdoor air conditioner unit to decrease, so that the outdoor air conditioner unit operates safely. When the outdoor air conditioner unit is closed, control the louver to close. Compared with the prior art where the outdoor air conditioner unit cannot protect against bad weather, thereby affecting the efficiency of the air conditioning system, in this application, when the outdoor environmental data indicates that the outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe, control the opening degree of the louver to decrease, and when the outdoor air conditioner unit is closed, control the louver to close. In this way, by reducing or closing the louver, it protects against bad weather. Therefore, it can solve the problem in the prior art that the outdoor air conditioner unit cannot protect against bad weather, thereby affecting the efficiency of the air conditioning system, and achieve the effect of protecting the outdoor air conditioner unit.

[0039] In the specific implementation process, the above step S201 can be achieved through the following steps: Step S2011: Obtain outdoor rainfall data and obtain the first safety threshold corresponding to the above outdoor rainfall data; Step S2012: Obtain outdoor temperature data and obtain the second safety threshold corresponding to the above outdoor temperature data; Step S2013: Obtain outdoor dust data and obtain the third safety threshold corresponding to the above outdoor dust data, where the above outdoor dust data represents the concentration data of dust particles outdoors. This method realizes the real-time monitoring of rainfall, temperature, and dust changes in the external environment by obtaining the above outdoor environment data, so as to further determine the actions of the blinds.

[0040] Specifically, through the above Figure 4 The integrated rain sensor 6 shown monitors the rainfall in the external environment in real time to obtain outdoor rainfall data. The first safety threshold is the critical value for distinguishing between safe and non-safe rainfall levels. When the rainfall reaches or exceeds this threshold, measures will be taken, such as adjusting the blind opening to the rain-proof angle, to prevent excessive rain from invading the unit and ensure the waterproof safety of the equipment. Through Figure 4 The temperature and humidity sensor 7 in monitors the external temperature to obtain outdoor temperature data. The second safety threshold is the standard for judging whether the current temperature poses a threat to the normal operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit. Especially in a low-temperature environment, it can guide the system on how to adjust the blind opening and air volume to prevent overcooling or condenser frosting and ensure that the unit operates within a safe temperature range. Through Figure 4 The PM2.5 sensor 12 or other dust monitoring devices in collect the concentration data of outdoor dust particles to obtain outdoor dust data. The third safety threshold refers to the standard for defining whether the blinds need to be closed to prevent dust from entering the air conditioner unit during sandstorms or heavy pollution weather. When the dust concentration exceeds the threshold, the blinds will be automatically closed to reduce the damage of dust to the internal components of the unit, especially to prevent dust from clogging the condenser and the fan, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and efficient operation of the unit.

[0041] In the actual application process, the outdoor environment data can also include outdoor humidity data. The outdoor humidity data is also detected by the temperature and humidity sensor 7. The outdoor humidity data is used to judge whether the outdoor is in a rainy environment. If it is a rainy environment, it is judged according to the judgment process of the outdoor rainfall data, and the blind opening is preferably adjusted to a safe opening, such as 15°; if it is not a rainy environment, the subsequent adjustment method of the blind opening can be determined according to the outdoor temperature data.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, before reducing the opening degree of the louvers of the outdoor air conditioner unit, the method further includes steps S2014: comparing the outdoor rainfall data with the first safety threshold, and determining that the outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe when the comparison result is that the outdoor rainfall data is greater than or equal to the first safety threshold; step S2015: comparing the outdoor temperature data with the second safety threshold, and determining that the outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe when the comparison result is that the outdoor temperature data is less than or equal to the second safety threshold; step S2016: comparing the outdoor dust data with the third safety threshold, and determining that the outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe when the comparison result is that the outdoor dust data is greater than or equal to the third safety threshold. By comparing the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety thresholds through the above steps, the method can pre-judge and determine potential operation risks to ensure subsequent intelligent adjustment and ensure the safe and stable operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit in various situations.

[0043] Specifically, the real-time rainfall data obtained from the rain sensor is compared with the first safety threshold stored in the system. The first safety threshold defines the maximum rainfall allowed, such as 10 mm, without affecting the safe operation of the air conditioner. If the outdoor rainfall data is greater than or equal to the first safety threshold, it is determined that the outdoor air conditioner unit is in an unsafe state, that is, there is a risk of rainwater entering the interior of the unit. The current outdoor temperature detected by the temperature sensor is compared with the second safety threshold. The second safety threshold is usually a low temperature value, such as 0 °C, to ensure that the air conditioner operates in a sufficiently warm environment and avoid problems such as excessive cooling and frosting. When the outdoor temperature data is less than or equal to the second safety threshold, the system considers that the operating environment of the outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe and may affect the condensation efficiency and the normal operation of the unit. The dust particle concentration data obtained by monitoring devices such as PM2.5 sensors is compared with the third safety threshold. The third safety threshold sets a lower limit of air cleanliness, such as 500 μg / m³, and exceeding this limit will have a negative impact on the performance and lifespan of the air conditioner unit. When the outdoor dust data reaches or exceeds the third safety threshold, the system determines that the outdoor air conditioner unit is in an unsafe environment and dust may enter and damage internal components.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, when the comparison result indicates that the outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe in step S202, controlling the reduction of the opening degree of the louver of the outdoor air conditioner unit can be achieved through the following steps: Step S2021: Obtain the current opening degree of the louver and the safe opening degree corresponding to the safety threshold, where the safe opening degree represents the opening degree that enables the outdoor air conditioner unit to operate safely; Step S2022: When the current opening degree is greater than the safe opening degree, control the louver to decrease from the current opening degree to the safe opening degree. This method can quickly and accurately adjust the opening degree of the louver to reach the safe opening degree level when the outdoor air conditioner unit faces unsafe environmental conditions, thereby effectively protecting the unit from damage.

[0045] Specifically, the current opening degree, that is, first read the actual current opening degree of the louver, which may be an angle value, such as 90° (fully open). According to the current environmental data (such as rainfall, temperature, dust concentration) and its corresponding preset safety threshold, the system calculates a safe opening degree to adjust the louver to a state that prevents environmental factors from damaging the unit. For example, when the rainfall exceeds the safety threshold, the safe opening degree may be set to 15° to reduce rainwater intrusion. If the current opening degree of the louver is greater than the safe opening degree, the system will send a control instruction to the louver driving device through the controller module, and the synchronous motor in the driving device adjusts the louver through the link mechanism, so that it gradually decreases from the current opening degree to the calculated safe opening degree. This process ensures that when potential risks are detected, the louver can be adjusted in time to reduce the adverse effects of the external environment on the air conditioner unit, such as preventing rainwater from entering, avoiding excessive cooling, and reducing dust intrusion. And when the current opening degree is less than the safe opening degree, it indicates that the current opening degree of the louver meets the requirements of the safe opening degree, so there is no need to adjust it further.

[0046] In some other alternative embodiments, the method further includes step S204: When the comparison result indicates that the outdoor air conditioner unit is safe, obtain the current opening degree and the maximum opening degree of the louver; Step S205: When the current opening degree is less than the maximum opening degree, control the louver to increase from the current opening degree to the maximum opening degree. This method optimizes the opening degree of the louver to improve system performance and user comfort when it is determined that the outdoor environmental conditions pose no threat to the safe operation of the air conditioner unit through the above steps.

[0047] In the specific implementation process, the current actual opening degree of the louver is read. The opening degree is usually an angular value, such as 30° or 60°, etc., depending on the previous response to environmental conditions. The maximum opening degree is the angle that allows the louver to be fully opened or reach the maximum flow rate, and is usually set to 90° to ensure the highest degree of air flow exchange and heat dissipation efficiency. When the outdoor environmental data (such as rainfall, temperature, dust concentration) obtained by the system through the environmental sensor is compared with the safety threshold, and it is determined that the current environmental conditions pose no threat to the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit, it will be checked whether the current opening degree of the louver is less than the maximum opening degree. If the current opening degree is less than the maximum opening degree, the controller module sends a control instruction to the louver driving device, and the synchronous motor in the driving device adjusts the louver through the link system, so that it gradually increases from the current opening degree to the maximum opening degree to optimize the ventilation and heat dissipation capacity of the air conditioning system. Also, when the air conditioner unit is just started, the louver is generally defaulted to be opened to the maximum opening degree.

[0048] In some alternative embodiments, the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit further includes a fan. After the opening degree of the louver of the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is reduced, the method further includes step S206: determining the reduction amplitude of the opening degree of the louver, obtaining the one-to-one mapping relationship between the adjustment amplitude of the opening degree of the louver and the adjustment amplitude of the wind speed, and determining the wind speed adjustment amplitude corresponding to the reduction amplitude according to the one-to-one mapping relationship; step S207: obtaining the current wind speed of the fan, and calculating the sum of the current wind speed and the wind speed adjustment amplitude to obtain an adjusted wind speed, and controlling the fan speed of the louver of the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit to increase from the current wind speed to the adjusted wind speed. This method dynamically adjusts the matching of the fan speed and the louver opening degree through the above steps to ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can still maintain the best operating state under different environmental conditions.

[0049] Specifically, the specific reduction amplitude of the louver opening degree is determined. The reduction amplitude can be based on the comparison result of the previous environmental data and the safety threshold. Subsequently, according to the preset one-to-one mapping relationship between the adjustment amplitude of the louver opening degree and the adjustment amplitude of the fan wind speed, the corresponding wind speed adjustment amplitude is calculated. This mapping relationship reflects the variation law of the fan speed required to maintain the system performance under different louver opening degrees, and is obtained through a large amount of experimental data and simulation analysis, ensuring that when the louver opening degree changes, the fan can synchronously adjust the wind speed to avoid excessive or insufficient air flow caused by the change of the louver opening degree.

[0050] In some other alternative embodiments, the above method further includes step S208: obtaining a preset time interval, and controlling the outdoor air conditioner unit to turn on the foreign object removal mode every preset time interval, where the foreign object removal mode represents a mode for removing foreign objects on the louver. By automatically starting the foreign object removal mode at the preset time interval through the above steps, foreign objects on the louver, such as dust and sand grains, can be cleaned, ensuring that the air conditioner unit is in a good ventilation state for a long time and maintaining its efficient operation.

[0051] Specifically, the preset time interval refers to the time period set in the system design for periodically checking and cleaning foreign objects that may accumulate on the louver. This time interval can be user-defined or preset by the system according to environmental conditions and usage habits, such as every 24 hours or once a week. When the preset time interval is reached, the intelligent air conditioning system will automatically switch to the foreign object removal mode. This mode may include starting the micro-vibration function on the louver, and using the hydrophobic and dust-proof effects of the nano-coating to physically remove dust and sand grains on the surface of the louver through the vibration of the synchronous motor. At the same time, the system may temporarily adjust the speed of the fan to generate a stronger airflow to help remove foreign objects near the louver and ensure that the airflow channel is unobstructed.

[0052] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present application, the implementation process of the control method for the outdoor air conditioner unit of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0053] This embodiment relates to a specific control method for an outdoor air conditioner unit, as Figure 6 shown, including the following steps:

[0054] Step S1: The controller module detects the numerical change situation of each sensor;

[0055] Step S2: The integrated rain sensor measures the outdoor rainfall data A within 24 hours;

[0056] Step S3: Determine whether A≥10 mm (the outdoor rainfall data is greater than or equal to the first safety threshold). If yes, execute step S4; if no, execute step S5;

[0057] Step S4: Adjust the louver of the louver to a 15° rain-proof angle;

[0058] Step S5: The controller module determines the range of adjusting the louver angle (the safe opening degree is 15°-90°), and finally adjusts the louver angle of the louver to 90° slowly;

[0059] Step S6: When the temperature and humidity sensor detects a low-temperature environment condition (the outdoor temperature data is less than the second safety threshold), the opening degree of the louver is adjusted to the safe opening degree;

[0060] Step S7: When B < 0°, the louvers of the louver are adjusted to the safe opening degree range (the safe opening degree is 30° - 60°). The lower the temperature, the smaller the angle. When the temperature returns above 0°C, the angle is slowly adjusted to 90°;

[0061] Step S8: After the PM2.5 sensor detects a sandstorm (PM2.5 ≥ 500 μg / m³), the louver is closed (the safe opening degree is 0°);

[0062] Step S9: When it is detected that the air conditioning device has been powered off, the louver angles of the louver are all closed to 0°. After being powered on again, the louver angles of the louver are first opened to 90°, and then according to the information of each sensor read by the controller module, it is further determined whether to issue an instruction to adjust the louver opening degree;

[0063] Step S10: According to the set time (preset time interval), the vibration mode of the louver synchronous motor can be started to perform dust removal on each louver.

[0064] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control device for an outdoor air conditioning unit. It should be noted that the control device for the outdoor air conditioning unit in the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute the control method for the outdoor air conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present application. This device is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred implementation manners, and those that have been described will not be repeated. As used hereinafter, the term "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that can achieve a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, implementation in hardware, or a combination of software and hardware is also possible and contemplated.

[0065] The following introduces the control device for the outdoor air conditioning unit provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0066] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the control device for the outdoor air conditioning unit according to the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, the above outdoor air conditioning unit at least includes a louver, and this device includes:

[0067] A first acquisition unit 20, configured to acquire outdoor environment data and acquire the corresponding safety threshold of the outdoor environment data when the above outdoor air conditioning unit is started, where the safety threshold represents the maximum value of the outdoor environment data for the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioning unit, the outdoor environment data includes outdoor rainfall data, outdoor temperature data, and outdoor dust data, and the outdoor dust data represents the concentration data of dust particles outdoors;

[0068] Specifically, in adverse weather conditions such as strong winds, rain, and sandstorms, when the outdoor air conditioner unit is started, outdoor environmental data is obtained. For example, temperature and humidity are monitored through a temperature and humidity sensor, rainfall is monitored through a rain sensor, and air quality (dust concentration) is monitored through a PM2.5 sensor, etc., that is, data characterizing the outdoor environmental conditions. And by obtaining the corresponding safety thresholds, it is determined whether the outdoor environment will cause damage to the outdoor air conditioner unit. By continuously monitoring and comparing the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety thresholds, the intelligent shutter device can dynamically adjust the opening degree of the shutter. For example, when the rainfall exceeds the safety threshold, it is immediately adjusted to the rain-proof angle, or the shutter is closed in an extreme dust environment to prevent dust and sand particles from entering the interior of the unit.

[0069] The first control unit 30 is configured to compare the above-mentioned outdoor environmental data with the corresponding above-mentioned safety thresholds to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe, it controls the opening degree of the shutter of the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit to decrease, so that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit operates safely;

[0070] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, it is a three-dimensional view of the shutter 1; Figure 3 The side sectional view of the shutter is shown, including a shutter frame 2, louvers 3, and a synchronous motor 4. The synchronous motor drives the louvers to move; Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the outdoor air conditioner unit including the shutter, including a housing 5, an integrated rain sensor 6, a temperature and humidity sensor 7, and a PM2.5 sensor 12. Figure 5 The sectional view showing the outdoor air conditioner unit includes a housing 5, a fan 8, a controller module 9, a condenser 10, and a compressor 11. The shutter 1 is installed at the air inlet position of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The opposite side of the air inlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit is the air outlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The controller module 9 controls the shutter to act according to the comparison result. Compare the outdoor environmental data collected from the sensors with the preset safety thresholds, and automatically adjust the opening degree of the shutter based on the comparison result to ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can operate under safe conditions. The safety thresholds are preset according to experiments and air conditioner operating conditions to define the range of outdoor environmental data and ensure that the air conditioner will not be damaged when operating within these ranges. If the comparison result shows that the environmental data exceeds the safety threshold (that is, the sensor readings indicate that the outdoor conditions may have an adverse impact on the air conditioner unit), the opening degree of the shutter will be automatically reduced to limit the entry of external rain, sand, etc., thereby reducing or avoiding potential damage.

[0071] The second control unit 40 is configured to control the shutter to close when the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is turned off.

[0072] Specifically, when the air conditioner unit is no longer operating (i.e., in the off state), whether due to daily deactivation, maintenance requirements, or power interruption, the closing operation of the louver will be automatically executed. The purpose of this action is to protect the air conditioner unit from external environmental factors, such as preventing dust, rain, sand, etc. from entering the interior of the unit, thereby reducing damage to internal components and extending the service life of the unit. Compared with the prior art where the louver remains open when the air conditioner unit is no longer operating, it can reduce the impact of external environmental factors on the interior of the air conditioner.

[0073] Through this embodiment, when the outdoor air conditioner unit is started, outdoor environmental data is obtained, and a safety threshold corresponding to the outdoor environmental data is obtained. The outdoor environmental data and the corresponding safety threshold are compared to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe, the opening degree of the louver of the outdoor air conditioner unit is controlled to decrease, so that the outdoor air conditioner unit operates safely. When the outdoor air conditioner unit is closed, the louver is controlled to close. Compared with the prior art where the outdoor air conditioner unit cannot protect against bad weather, thus affecting the efficiency of the air conditioning system, in this application, when the outdoor environmental data indicates that the outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe, the opening degree of the louver is controlled to decrease, and when the outdoor air conditioner unit is closed, the louver is controlled to close. In this way, by reducing or closing the louver, protection against bad weather is achieved. Therefore, the problem in the prior art that the outdoor air conditioner unit cannot protect against bad weather, thus affecting the efficiency of the air conditioning system, can be solved, and the effect of protecting the outdoor air conditioner unit can be achieved.

[0074] In the specific implementation process, the above-mentioned first acquisition unit includes a first acquisition module, a second acquisition module, and a third acquisition module. The first acquisition module is used to acquire outdoor rainfall data and acquire a first safety threshold corresponding to the outdoor rainfall data; the second acquisition module is used to acquire outdoor temperature data and acquire a second safety threshold corresponding to the outdoor temperature data; the third acquisition module is used to acquire outdoor dust data and acquire a third safety threshold corresponding to the outdoor dust data, where the outdoor dust data represents the concentration data of dust particles outdoors. The device realizes real-time monitoring of rainfall, temperature, and dust changes in the external environment by acquiring the above-mentioned outdoor environmental data, so as to further determine the action of the louver.

[0075] Specifically, through the above Figure 4 The integrated rain sensor 6 shown in the figure monitors the rainfall in the external environment in real time to obtain outdoor rainfall data. The first safety threshold is a critical value used to distinguish between safe and non-safe rainfall levels. When the rainfall reaches or exceeds this threshold, measures will be taken, such as adjusting the louver opening to the rain-proof angle, to prevent excessive rain from invading the unit and ensure the waterproof safety of the equipment. Through Figure 4The temperature and humidity sensor 7 in it monitors the external temperature to obtain outdoor temperature data. The second safety threshold is a standard used to determine whether the current temperature poses a threat to the normal operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit. Especially in a low-temperature environment, it can guide the system on how to adjust the louver opening and air volume to prevent overcooling or condenser frosting and ensure that the unit operates within a safe temperature range. Through Figure 4 the PM2.5 sensor 12 or other dust monitoring devices in it collect the concentration data of outdoor dust particles to obtain outdoor dust data. The third safety threshold refers to the standard for defining whether the louvers need to be closed to prevent dust from entering the air conditioner unit during sandstorms or heavy pollution weather. When the dust concentration exceeds the threshold, the louvers will be automatically closed to reduce the damage of dust to the internal components of the unit, especially to prevent dust from clogging the condenser and the fan, thus ensuring the cleanliness and efficient operation of the unit.

[0076] In the actual application process, the outdoor environmental data can also include outdoor humidity data. Similarly, the temperature and humidity sensor 7 is used to detect the outdoor humidity data. The outdoor humidity data is used to determine whether it is raining outdoors. If it is a rainy environment, the judgment process based on the outdoor rainfall data is followed, and the louver opening is preferably adjusted to a safe opening, such as 15°. If it is not a rainy environment, the subsequent adjustment method of the louver opening can be determined according to the outdoor temperature data.

[0077] In some alternative embodiments, the above device further includes a first determination module, a second determination module, and a third determination module. The first determination module is configured to compare the above-mentioned outdoor rainfall data with the above-mentioned first safety threshold before reducing the opening of the louvers of the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit. When the comparison result is that the above-mentioned outdoor rainfall data is greater than or equal to the above-mentioned first safety threshold, it is determined that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe. The second determination module is configured to compare the above-mentioned outdoor temperature data with the above-mentioned second safety threshold. When the comparison result is that the above-mentioned outdoor temperature data is less than or equal to the above-mentioned second safety threshold, it is determined that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe. The third determination module is configured to compare the above-mentioned outdoor dust data with the above-mentioned third safety threshold. When the comparison result is that the above-mentioned outdoor dust data is greater than or equal to the above-mentioned third safety threshold, it is determined that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe. By comparing the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety thresholds through the above steps, the device can pre-judge and determine potential operation risks to ensure subsequent intelligent adjustment and ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can operate safely and stably in various situations.

[0078] Specifically, the real-time rainfall data obtained from the rain sensor is compared with the first safety threshold stored in the system. The first safety threshold defines the maximum allowable rainfall, such as 10 millimeters, without affecting the safe operation of the air conditioner. If the outdoor rainfall data is greater than or equal to the first safety threshold, it is determined that the outdoor air conditioner unit is in an unsafe state, that is, there is a risk of rainwater invading the interior of the unit. The current outdoor temperature detected by the temperature sensor is compared with the second safety threshold. The second safety threshold is usually a low temperature value, such as 0 °C, to ensure that the air conditioner operates in a sufficiently warm environment and avoid problems such as excessive cooling and frosting. When the outdoor temperature data is less than or equal to the second safety threshold, the system considers that the operating environment of the outdoor air conditioner unit is unsafe and may affect the condensation efficiency and the normal operation of the unit. The dust particulate concentration data obtained by monitoring devices such as PM2.5 sensors is compared with the third safety threshold. The third safety threshold sets a lower limit of air cleanliness, such as 500 μg / m³, and exceeding this limit will have a negative impact on the performance and lifespan of the air conditioner unit. When the outdoor dust data reaches or exceeds the third safety threshold, the system determines that the outdoor air conditioner unit is in an unsafe environment and dust may enter and damage internal components.

[0079] In some alternative embodiments, the first control unit includes a fourth acquisition module and a first control module. The fourth acquisition module is configured to acquire the current opening degree of the louver and the safety opening degree corresponding to the safety threshold, wherein the safety opening degree represents the opening degree for the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit; the first control module is configured to control the louver to decrease from the current opening degree to the safety opening degree when the current opening degree is greater than the safety opening degree. The device can quickly and accurately adjust the opening degree of the louver to reach the safety opening degree level when the outdoor air conditioner unit faces unsafe environmental conditions, thereby effectively protecting the unit from damage.

[0080] Specifically, for the current opening degree, first read the actual current opening degree of the louver, which may be an angular value, such as 90° (fully open). According to the current environmental data (such as rainfall, temperature, dust concentration) and their corresponding preset safety thresholds, the system calculates a safe opening degree to adjust the louver to a state that prevents environmental factors from damaging the unit. For example, when the rainfall exceeds the safety threshold, the safe opening degree may be set to 15° to reduce rainwater intrusion. If the current opening degree of the louver is greater than the safe opening degree, the system will send a control instruction to the louver driving device through the controller module, and the synchronous motor in the driving device will adjust the louver through the connecting rod mechanism to gradually reduce it from the current opening degree to the calculated safe opening degree. This process ensures that when potential risks are detected, the louver can be adjusted in a timely manner to reduce the adverse effects of the external environment on the air conditioner unit, such as preventing rainwater from entering, avoiding excessive cooling, and reducing dust intrusion. In the case where the current opening degree is less than the above-mentioned safe opening degree, it indicates that the current opening degree of the louver meets the requirements of the safe opening degree, so there is no need to adjust it further.

[0081] In some other alternative embodiments, the above device further includes a second acquisition unit and a third control unit. The second acquisition unit is used to acquire the current opening degree and the maximum opening degree of the louver when the comparison result indicates the safety of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The third control unit is used to control the louver to increase from the current opening degree to the maximum opening degree when the current opening degree is less than the maximum opening degree. By the above steps, when it is determined that the outdoor environmental conditions pose no threat to the safe operation of the air conditioner unit, the louver opening degree is optimized to improve the system performance and user comfort.

[0082] In the specific implementation process, read the actual current opening degree of the louver. The opening degree is usually an angular value, such as 30° or 60°, etc., depending on the previous response to environmental conditions. The maximum opening degree is the angle that allows the louver to be fully open or reach the maximum flow rate, usually set to 90° to ensure the highest degree of air flow exchange and heat dissipation efficiency. When the outdoor environmental data (such as rainfall, temperature, dust concentration) obtained by the system through the environmental sensor is compared with the safety threshold and it is determined that the current environmental conditions pose no threat to the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit, it will be checked whether the current opening degree of the louver is less than the maximum opening degree. If the current opening degree is less than the maximum opening degree, the controller module sends a control instruction to the louver driving device, and the synchronous motor in the driving device adjusts the louver through the connecting rod system to gradually increase it from the current opening degree to the maximum opening degree to optimize the ventilation and heat dissipation capabilities of the air conditioning system. Also, when the air conditioner unit is just started, the louver is generally defaulted to be opened to the maximum opening degree.

[0083] In some alternative embodiments, the above outdoor air conditioner unit further includes a fan. After the opening degree of the louver of the above outdoor air conditioner unit is controlled to decrease, the above device further includes a determination unit and a fourth control unit. The determination unit is used to determine the decrease amplitude of the opening degree of the above louver, obtain the one-to-one mapping relationship between the adjustment amplitude of the opening degree of the above louver and the adjustment amplitude of the wind speed, and determine the wind speed adjustment amplitude corresponding to the decrease amplitude according to the above one-to-one mapping relationship. The fourth control unit is used to obtain the current wind speed of the above fan, calculate the sum of the above current wind speed and the above wind speed adjustment amplitude to obtain an adjusted wind speed, and control the fan speed of the louver of the above outdoor air conditioner unit to increase from the above current wind speed to the above adjusted wind speed. The device dynamically adjusts the matching of the fan speed and the louver opening degree through the above steps to ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can still maintain the best operating state under different environmental conditions.

[0084] Specifically, determine the specific amplitude of the decrease in the louver opening degree. The decrease amplitude can be based on the comparison result between the previous environmental data and the safety threshold. Subsequently, according to the preset one-to-one mapping relationship between the adjustment amplitude of the louver opening degree and the adjustment amplitude of the fan wind speed, calculate the corresponding wind speed adjustment amplitude. This mapping relationship reflects the variation law of the fan speed required to maintain the system performance under different louver openings, which is obtained through a large amount of experimental data and simulation analysis, ensuring that when the louver opening degree changes, the fan can synchronously adjust the wind speed to avoid excessive or insufficient air flow caused by the change in the louver opening degree.

[0085] In some other alternative embodiments, the above device further includes a third acquisition unit, which is used to acquire a preset time interval and control the above outdoor air conditioner unit to turn on a foreign object removal mode every above preset time interval, where the above foreign object removal mode represents a mode of removing foreign objects on the above louver. The device automatically starts the foreign object removal mode at a preset time interval through the above steps, which can clean foreign objects on the louver, such as dust, sand grains, etc., to ensure that the air conditioner unit is in a good ventilation state for a long time and maintain its efficient operation.

[0086] Specifically, the preset time interval refers to the time period set in the system design for periodically checking and cleaning foreign objects that may accumulate on the louver. This time interval can be user-defined or preset by the system according to environmental conditions and usage habits, such as every 24 hours, once a week, etc. When the preset time interval is reached, the intelligent air conditioning system will automatically switch to the foreign object removal mode. This mode may include starting the micro-vibration function on the louver, using the hydrophobic and dust-proof effects of the nano-coating, and vibrating through the synchronous motor to physically remove dust and sand grains on the louver surface. At the same time, the system may temporarily adjust the fan speed to generate a stronger air flow to help remove foreign objects near the louver and ensure that the air flow channel is unobstructed.

[0087] The control device of the above outdoor air conditioner unit includes a processor and a memory. The above first acquisition unit, first control unit, second control unit, etc. are all stored in the memory as program units, and the processor executes the above program units stored in the memory to implement corresponding functions. The above modules are all located in the same processor; or, the above modules are respectively located in different processors in any combination form.

[0088] The processor contains a kernel, and the kernel retrieves the corresponding program unit from the memory. One or more kernels can be set, and the kernel parameters can be adjusted to protect against bad weather.

[0089] The memory may include non-permanent memory in a computer-readable medium, in the form of random access memory (RAM) and / or non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory (ROM) or flash RAM. The memory includes at least one memory chip.

[0090] The embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium. The above computer-readable storage medium includes a stored program. When the above program runs, it controls the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located to execute the control method of the above outdoor air conditioner unit.

[0091] Specifically, the control method of the outdoor air conditioner unit includes:

[0092] Step S201, when the above outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain outdoor environmental data and obtain a safety threshold corresponding to the above outdoor environmental data, where the above safety threshold represents the maximum value of the outdoor environmental data for the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The above outdoor environmental data includes outdoor rainfall data, outdoor temperature data, and outdoor sand and dust data, and the above outdoor sand and dust data represents the concentration data of sand and dust particles outdoors;

[0093] Specifically, in case of bad weather such as windy, rainy, and sandstorm, when the outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain outdoor environmental data. For example, monitor temperature and humidity through a temperature and humidity sensor, monitor rainfall through a rain sensor, and monitor air quality (sand and dust concentration) through a PM2.5 sensor, that is, the data characterizing the outdoor environmental situation, and determine whether the outdoor environment will damage the outdoor air conditioner unit by obtaining the corresponding safety threshold. By real-time monitoring and comparing the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety threshold, the intelligent louver device can dynamically adjust the opening degree of the louvers. For example, when the rainfall exceeds the safety threshold, it is immediately adjusted to the rain-proof angle, or the louvers are closed in an extreme sand and dust environment to prevent dust and sand particles from entering the unit interior.

[0094] Step S202: Compare the above-mentioned outdoor environment data with the corresponding above-mentioned safety thresholds to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe, control the opening degree of the louver of the outdoor air conditioner unit to decrease, so that the outdoor air conditioner unit operates safely;

[0095] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, it is a three-dimensional view of the louver 1; Figure 3 The figure shows a side sectional view of the louver, including a louver frame 2, louvers 3, and a synchronous motor 4. The synchronous motor drives the louvers to move; Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of an outdoor air conditioner unit including a louver, including a housing 5, an integrated rain sensor 6, a temperature and humidity sensor 7, and a PM2.5 sensor 12. Figure 5 It represents a sectional view of the outdoor air conditioner unit, including a housing 5, a fan 8, a controller module 9, a condenser 10, and a compressor 11. The louver 1 is installed at the air inlet position of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The opposite side of the air inlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit is the air outlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The controller module 9 controls the louver to act according to the comparison result. Compare the outdoor environment data collected from the sensors with the preset safety thresholds, and automatically adjust the opening degree of the louver based on the comparison result to ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can operate under safe conditions. The safety thresholds are preset according to experiments and air conditioner operating conditions, and are used to define the range of outdoor environment data to ensure that the air conditioner will not be damaged when operating within these ranges. If the comparison result shows that the environmental data exceeds the safety thresholds (that is, the sensor readings indicate that the outdoor conditions may have an adverse impact on the air conditioner unit), the opening degree of the louver will be automatically reduced to limit the entry of external rainfall, dust, etc., thereby reducing or avoiding potential damage.

[0096] Step S203: When the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is turned off, control the above-mentioned louver to close.

[0097] Specifically, when the air conditioner unit is no longer operating (i.e., in the off state), whether it is due to daily deactivation, maintenance needs, or power interruption, the closing operation of the louver will be automatically executed. The purpose of this action is to protect the air conditioner unit from the influence of external environmental factors, such as preventing dust, rain, sand, etc. from entering the interior of the unit, thereby reducing the damage to internal components and extending the service life of the unit. Compared with the prior art where the louver remains open when the air conditioner unit is no longer operating, it can reduce the influence of external environmental factors on the interior of the air conditioner.

[0098] An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, including a processor, a memory, and a program stored on the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program, it implements at least the following steps:

[0099] Step S201, when the above outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain outdoor environmental data and obtain the corresponding safety threshold value, where the safety threshold value represents the maximum value of the outdoor environmental data for the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The outdoor environmental data includes outdoor rainfall data, outdoor temperature data, and outdoor dust data, and the outdoor dust data represents the concentration data of dust particles outdoors;

[0100] Specifically, in case of bad weather conditions such as wind, rain, and sandstorms, when the outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain outdoor environmental data. For example, monitor temperature and humidity through a temperature and humidity sensor, monitor rainfall through a rain sensor, and monitor air quality (dust concentration) through a PM2.5 sensor, that is, the data characterizing the outdoor environmental situation, and determine whether the outdoor environment will damage the outdoor air conditioner unit by obtaining the corresponding safety threshold value. By continuously monitoring and comparing the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety threshold value, the intelligent louver device can dynamically adjust the opening degree of the louvers. For example, when the rainfall exceeds the safety threshold value, immediately adjust to the rain-proof angle, or close the louvers in an extremely dusty environment to prevent dust and sand particles from entering the interior of the unit.

[0101] Step S202, compare the above outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety threshold value to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the above outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe, control the opening degree of the louvers of the outdoor air conditioner unit to decrease, so that the outdoor air conditioner unit operates safely;

[0102] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, it is a three-dimensional view of the louver 1; Figure 3 The side sectional view of the louver is shown, including a louver frame 2, louvers 3, and a synchronous motor 4, and the synchronous motor drives the louvers to move; Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the outdoor air conditioner unit including the louver, including a housing 5, an integrated rain sensor 6, a temperature and humidity sensor 7, and a PM2.5 sensor 12. Figure 5A cross-sectional view showing an outdoor air conditioner unit, including a housing 5, a blower 8, a controller module 9, a condenser 10, a compressor 11. A louver 1 is installed at the inlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The opposite side of the inlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit is the outlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The controller module 9 controls the operation of the louver according to the comparison result. Compare the outdoor environmental data collected from the sensor with a preset safety threshold, and automatically adjust the opening degree of the louver based on the comparison result to ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can operate under safe conditions. The safety threshold is preset according to experiments and air conditioner operating conditions to define the range of outdoor environmental data and ensure that the air conditioner will not be damaged when operating within these ranges. If the comparison result shows that the environmental data exceeds the safety threshold (i.e., the sensor reading indicates that the outdoor conditions may have an adverse impact on the air conditioner unit), the opening degree of the louver will be automatically reduced to limit the entry of external rain, sand, etc., thereby reducing or avoiding potential damage.

[0103] Step S203, when the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is closed, control the above-mentioned louver to close.

[0104] Specifically, when the air conditioner unit is no longer operating (i.e., in the closed state), whether it is due to daily deactivation, maintenance needs, or power interruption, the closing operation of the louver will be automatically executed. The purpose of this action is to protect the air conditioner unit from the influence of external environmental factors, such as preventing dust, rain, sand, etc. from entering the interior of the unit, thereby reducing damage to internal components and extending the service life of the unit. Compared with the prior art where the louver remains open when the air conditioner unit is no longer operating, it can reduce the influence of external environmental factors on the interior of the air conditioner.

[0105] This application also provides a control system for an outdoor air conditioner unit, including an outdoor air conditioner unit, at least including a louver and a blower, one or more processors, a memory, and one or more programs. Among them, the above one or more programs are stored in the above memory and are configured to be executed by the above one or more processors. The above one or more programs include a control method for executing an outdoor air conditioner unit:

[0106] Step S201, when the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is started, obtain outdoor environmental data and obtain the corresponding safety threshold of the above-mentioned outdoor environmental data. Among them, the above safety threshold represents the maximum value of the outdoor environmental data for the safe operation of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The outdoor environmental data includes outdoor rainfall data, outdoor temperature data, and outdoor sand dust data. The outdoor sand dust data represents the concentration data of sand dust particles outdoors;

[0107] Specifically, in bad weather conditions such as windy, rainy, and dusty weather, when the outdoor air conditioner unit starts, obtain outdoor environmental data. For example, monitor temperature and humidity through a temperature and humidity sensor, monitor rainfall through a rain sensor, and monitor air quality (dust concentration) through a PM2.5 sensor, etc., that is, data characterizing the outdoor environmental conditions, and determine whether the outdoor environment will damage the outdoor air conditioner unit by obtaining corresponding safety thresholds. By continuously monitoring and comparing the outdoor environmental data with the corresponding safety thresholds, the intelligent louver device can dynamically adjust the opening degree of the louvers. For example, when the rainfall exceeds the safety threshold, immediately adjust to the rain-proof angle, or close the louvers in an extremely dusty environment to prevent dust and sand particles from entering the interior of the unit.

[0108] Step S202: Compare the above-mentioned outdoor environmental data with the corresponding above-mentioned safety thresholds to obtain a comparison result. When the comparison result indicates that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is not safe, control the opening degree of the louvers of the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit to decrease, so that the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit operates safely;

[0109] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, it is a three-dimensional view of the louver 1; Figure 3 Shown is the side sectional view of the louver, including the louver frame 2, the louvers 3, and the synchronous motor 4. The synchronous motor drives the louvers to move; Figure 4 The structural schematic diagram of the outdoor air conditioner unit including the louver, including the housing 5, the integrated rain sensor 6, the temperature and humidity sensor 7, and the PM2.5 sensor 12. Figure 5 It represents the sectional view of the outdoor air conditioner unit, including the housing 5, the fan 8, the controller module 9, the condenser 10, and the compressor 11. The louver 1 is installed at the air inlet position of the outdoor air conditioner unit, and the opposite side of the air inlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit is the air outlet of the outdoor air conditioner unit. The controller module 9 controls the action of the louver according to the comparison result. Compare the outdoor environmental data collected from the sensors with the preset safety thresholds, and automatically adjust the opening degree of the louver based on the comparison result to ensure that the outdoor air conditioner unit can operate under safe conditions. The safety thresholds are preset according to experiments and air conditioner operating conditions to define the range of outdoor environmental data and ensure that the air conditioner will not be damaged when operating within these ranges. If the comparison result shows that the environmental data exceeds the safety threshold (that is, the sensor readings indicate that the outdoor conditions may have an adverse impact on the air conditioner unit), the opening degree of the louver will be automatically reduced to limit the entry of external rainfall or dust, etc., thereby reducing or avoiding potential damage.

[0110] Step S203: When the above-mentioned outdoor air conditioner unit is closed, control the above-mentioned louvers to close.

[0111] Specifically, when the air conditioning unit is no longer running (i.e., in the off state), whether due to daily deactivation, maintenance requirements, or power interruption, the closing operation of the louver will be automatically executed. The purpose of this action is to protect the air conditioning unit from external environmental factors, such as preventing dust, rain, sand, etc. from entering the interior of the unit, thereby reducing damage to internal components and extending the service life of the unit. Compared with the prior art where the louver remains open when the air conditioning unit is no longer running, it can reduce the impact of external environmental factors on the interior of the air conditioner.
