[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a control method for an air conditioner, a computer-readable storage medium, a computer program product, and an air conditioning system. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demands for indoor environmental comfort increase, the functional requirements of air conditioners are becoming increasingly diversified, especially in terms of humidity control. Traditional air conditioners typically only have dehumidification functions, while waterless humidifier air conditioners are gradually emerging. These air conditioners generally use a moisture-absorbing impeller on the outdoor side to transport the absorbed moisture to the indoor side through air pipes, thereby regulating indoor humidity.

[0003] However, existing heating methods for moisture-absorbing rotors suffer from low heating efficiency and low energy utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a control method for an air conditioner, a computer-readable storage medium, a computer program product, and an air conditioning system, so as to at least solve the problems of low heating efficiency and low energy utilization rate of the heating method of the moisture-absorbing wheel in the prior art air conditioner.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of this application, a control method for an air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a moisture-absorbing component and an electromagnetic induction heating component. The moisture-absorbing component includes an adsorption region and a desorption region. The material of the desorption region includes a magnetic induction material. The adsorption region is used for adsorbing moisture, and the desorption region is used for desorbing moisture. The electromagnetic induction heating component includes a plurality of electromagnetic coils. The electromagnetic coils are used to provide an alternating magnetic field to the desorption region of the moisture-absorbing component when energized. The method includes: acquiring indoor humidity when the air conditioner activates its humidification function; determining, at least based on the indoor humidity and a target indoor humidity, whether there is a humidification demand, where the target indoor humidity represents the expected indoor air humidity, and the humidification demand represents whether there is a need to increase the humidification amount; and adjusting the number of energized electromagnetic coils to adjust the area of ​​the adsorption region and the area of ​​the desorption region based on the humidification demand determination result, such that the indoor humidity is not less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and a humidity determination threshold, where the humidity determination threshold represents a standard value representing the difference between the indoor humidity and the target indoor humidity when the humidification amount needs to be increased.

[0006] Optionally, determining whether there is a humidification requirement based at least on the indoor humidity and the target indoor humidity includes: determining that there is a humidification requirement if the indoor humidity is less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and the humidity determination threshold; and determining that there is no humidification requirement if the indoor humidity is not less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and the humidity determination threshold.

[0007] Optionally, based on the humidification demand determination result, the number of energized electromagnetic coils is adjusted to adjust the area of ​​the adsorption region and the area of ​​the desorption region, including: if it is determined that there is a humidification demand, the area of ​​the desorption region is reduced and the area of ​​the adsorption region is increased by reducing the number of energized electromagnetic coils; if it is determined that there is no humidification demand, the area of ​​the desorption region is increased and the area of ​​the adsorption region is decreased by increasing the number of energized electromagnetic coils.

[0008] Optionally, after adjusting the number of energized electromagnetic coils to adjust the area of ​​the adsorption region and the area of ​​the desorption region, the method further includes: obtaining the temperature of the desorption region; increasing the power of the electromagnetic induction heating component when the temperature of the desorption region is less than a preset temperature threshold; and turning off the electromagnetic induction heating component when the temperature of the desorption region is not less than the temperature threshold.

[0009] Optionally, the method further includes: acquiring the outdoor ambient humidity when the air conditioner does not turn on the humidification function; and turning on the electromagnetic induction heating component and controlling the electromagnetic induction heating component to heat the desorption area when the outdoor ambient humidity is greater than a preset humidity threshold.

[0010] Optionally, the moisture-absorbing component is a moisture-absorbing wheel, and the method further includes: increasing the rotation speed of the moisture-absorbing wheel when it is determined that there is a humidification demand; and decreasing the rotation speed of the moisture-absorbing wheel when it is determined that there is no humidification demand.

[0011] Optionally, the method further includes: reducing the power of the electromagnetic induction heating component when it is determined that there is no humidification requirement.

[0012] According to another aspect of this application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium including a stored program, wherein, when the program is executed, it controls the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located to perform any of the control methods of the air conditioner described above.

[0013] According to another aspect of this application, a computer program product is provided, including computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, implement any of the control methods for the air conditioner described above.

[0014] According to another aspect of this application, an air conditioning system is provided, comprising: an air conditioner including a moisture-absorbing component and an electromagnetic induction heating component, the moisture-absorbing component including an adsorption region and a desorption region, the desorption region being made of a magnetic induction material, the adsorption region being used for adsorbing moisture, the desorption region being used for desorbing moisture, the electromagnetic induction heating component including a plurality of electromagnetic coils, the electromagnetic coils being used to provide an alternating magnetic field to the desorption region of the moisture-absorbing component when energized; an electronic device, one or more processors, a memory, and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including a control method for performing any of the air conditioners described above.

[0015] Using the technical solution of this application, the air conditioner includes a moisture-absorbing component and an electromagnetic induction heating component. The moisture-absorbing component includes an adsorption area and a desorption area. The material of the desorption area includes a magnetic induction material. The electromagnetic induction heating component includes multiple electromagnetic coils. The electromagnetic coils are used to provide an alternating magnetic field to the desorption area of ​​the moisture-absorbing component when energized. First, the indoor humidity is obtained when the air conditioner starts the humidification function. Then, based on at least the indoor humidity and the target indoor humidity, it is determined whether there is a humidification requirement. Finally, based on the humidification requirement determination result, the area of ​​the adsorption area and the area of ​​the desorption area are adjusted by adjusting the number of energized electromagnetic coils, so that the indoor humidity is not less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and the humidity determination threshold. Compared to the low heating efficiency and low energy utilization of the desiccant wheel heating method in existing air conditioners, the electromagnetic induction heating method of this application can generate highly efficient localized heating in the desorption area of ​​the desiccant component without heating the entire desiccant component. This achieves concentrated utilization of heating energy, reduces ineffective energy diffusion, and ensures high energy conversion efficiency. Since the number of energized electromagnetic coils directly determines the effective heating area, the energization control of the electromagnetic coils can precisely control which areas are heated, thereby changing the adsorption and desorption areas. In other words, by dynamically adjusting the number of energized electromagnetic coils, it can ensure that the heating of the desorption area is both sufficient and precise, achieving precise heating of the desorption area without... This method affects the adsorption area, improving overall energy efficiency. Furthermore, electromagnetic induction heating is direct and rapid, reaching the required temperature more quickly compared to traditional heating methods (such as resistance heating), reducing preheating time and ensuring high heating efficiency. Additionally, this application monitors indoor humidity in real time and compares it with the target indoor humidity to determine whether to adjust the energization level of the electromagnetic coil, thereby adjusting the areas of the adsorption and desorption regions. This mechanism ensures intelligent adjustment of humidification, closely matching the heating process with humidification needs. This avoids energy waste caused by over-humidification and ensures that indoor humidity remains stable near the target value, achieving precise humidification control and improving indoor air quality.

[0031] This embodiment provides a control method for an air conditioner that runs on a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Also, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0032] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an air conditioner control method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner (not shown) includes a moisture-absorbing component 11 and an electromagnetic induction heating component 12. The moisture-absorbing component 11 includes an adsorption region (not shown) and a desorption region (not shown). The material of the desorption region includes a magnetic induction material. The adsorption region is used for adsorbing moisture, and the desorption region is used for desorbing moisture. The electromagnetic induction heating component 12 includes multiple electromagnetic coils (not shown). The electromagnetic coils are used to provide an alternating magnetic field to the desorption region of the moisture-absorbing component 11 when energized. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S201: When the air conditioner's humidification function is activated, obtain the indoor humidity.

[0034] Specifically, indoor humidity refers to the actual humidity level inside the room.

[0035] Specifically, the electromagnetic coil is only positioned opposite the desorption area.

[0036] Step S202: Based at least on the above indoor humidity and target indoor humidity, determine whether there is a need for humidification. The above target indoor humidity represents the expected indoor air humidity, and the above humidification need represents whether there is a need to increase the humidification capacity.

[0037] Specifically, the target indoor humidity is the ideal humidity level that the user wants the indoor air to achieve.

[0038] Step S203: Based on the humidification demand judgment result, adjust the number of energized electromagnetic coils to adjust the area of ​​the adsorption region and the area of ​​the desorption region, so that the indoor humidity is not less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and the humidity judgment threshold. The humidity judgment threshold represents the standard value of the difference between the indoor humidity and the target indoor humidity when the humidification amount needs to be increased.

[0039] In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the humidity judgment threshold based on experience or through multiple experiments; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0040] Specifically, the sum of the area of ​​the adsorption region and the area of ​​the desorption region is equal to the area of ​​the moisture-absorbing component.

[0041] Specifically, electromagnetic induction heating generates an alternating magnetic field in an electromagnetic coil through alternating current, which in turn causes eddy currents in the magnetic induction material of the moisture-absorbing component. The eddy currents are converted into heat energy inside the material, thus achieving the heating effect. Therefore, the number of energized electromagnetic coils directly determines the size of the heating area. More energized electromagnetic coils mean a larger heating area, and vice versa. Therefore, the size of the heating area can be changed by changing the number of energized electromagnetic coils, that is, by changing the area of ​​the desorption area. Since the area of ​​the desorption area and the area of ​​the adsorption area are fixed, the area of ​​the adsorption area can be changed.

[0042] Specifically, electromagnetic induction heating is used, which generates eddy currents in a specific area of ​​the moisture-absorbing component through an alternating magnetic field, achieving efficient and precise regional heating.

[0043] In the above embodiments, the air conditioner includes a moisture-absorbing component and an electromagnetic induction heating component. The moisture-absorbing component includes an adsorption area and a desorption area. The material of the desorption area includes a magnetic induction material. The electromagnetic induction heating component includes multiple electromagnetic coils. The electromagnetic coils are used to provide an alternating magnetic field to the desorption area of ​​the moisture-absorbing component when energized. First, the indoor humidity is obtained when the air conditioner starts its humidification function. Then, based on at least the indoor humidity and the target indoor humidity, it is determined whether there is a humidification requirement. Finally, based on the humidification requirement determination result, the area of ​​the adsorption area and the area of ​​the desorption area are adjusted by adjusting the number of energized electromagnetic coils, so that the indoor humidity is not less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and the humidity determination threshold. Compared to the low heating efficiency and low energy utilization of the desiccant wheel heating method in existing air conditioners, the electromagnetic induction heating method of this application can generate highly efficient localized heating in the desorption area of ​​the desiccant component without heating the entire desiccant component. This achieves concentrated utilization of heating energy, reduces ineffective energy diffusion, and ensures high energy conversion efficiency. Since the number of energized electromagnetic coils directly determines the effective heating area, the energization control of the electromagnetic coils can precisely control which areas are heated, thereby changing the adsorption and desorption areas. In other words, by dynamically adjusting the number of energized electromagnetic coils, it can ensure that the heating of the desorption area is both sufficient and precise, achieving precise heating of the desorption area without... This method affects the adsorption area, improving overall energy efficiency. Furthermore, electromagnetic induction heating is direct and rapid, reaching the required temperature more quickly compared to traditional heating methods (such as resistance heating), reducing preheating time and ensuring high heating efficiency. Additionally, this application monitors indoor humidity in real time and compares it with the target indoor humidity to determine whether to adjust the energization level of the electromagnetic coil, thereby adjusting the areas of the adsorption and desorption regions. This mechanism ensures intelligent adjustment of humidification, closely matching the heating process with humidification needs. This avoids energy waste caused by over-humidification and ensures that indoor humidity remains stable near the target value, achieving precise humidification control and improving indoor air quality.

[0044] Specifically, the desorption region is determined by the region where the alternating magnetic field is generated.

[0045] Specifically, the entire moisture-absorbing component may be made of magnetic induction material, or only a portion of the moisture-absorbing component may be made of magnetic induction material; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner also includes an indoor unit 13.

[0047] Specifically, the surface of the moisture-absorbing component is loaded with metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) materials with high specific surface area and high adsorption capacity. MOFs are porous materials formed by the self-assembly of metal ions or metal clusters with organic ligands through coordination bonds. They possess high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and good chemical stability. Preparation methods include solvothermal synthesis, solution diffusion, hydrothermal synthesis, microwave-assisted synthesis, and gas-phase synthesis. Among these, solvothermal synthesis is one of the most commonly used methods for preparing MOFs. It utilizes the special properties of solvents under high temperature and pressure to promote the coordination reaction between metal ions and organic ligands, forming an ordered crystal structure. Raw materials for solvothermal synthesis: ① Metal salts: such as Cu(NO3)2, Ni(NO3)2, ZrCl4, etc.; ② Organic ligands: such as 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC), terephthalic acid (BDC), trimesolic acid (TPA), etc.; ③ Solvents: Commonly used solvents include water, ethanol, DMF (dimethylformamide), THF (tetrahydrofuran), etc. Synthesis steps of solvothermal synthesis: ① Preparation of reaction mixture: Dissolve the metal salt in the solvent and stir until completely dissolved. Add the organic ligand and continue stirring until dissolved or a homogeneous suspension is formed. ② Reaction conditions: Transfer the reaction mixture to a high-pressure reactor, seal it, and place it in an oven or oil bath. Control the reaction temperature (usually 80°C to 120°C) and reaction time (usually 24 to 48 hours). ③ Product separation and purification: After the reaction is completed, cool to room temperature, filter and collect the solid product. Wash it several times with a solvent (such as ethanol or water) to remove unreacted raw materials and impurities. Dry it in a vacuum drying oven to obtain MOF powder.

[0048] Specifically, the moisture-absorbing component includes a moisture-absorbing wheel, which can be a magnetic induction heating disc. A magnetic induction heating disc is a disc that can be heated by electromagnetic induction. The magnetic induction heating disc includes a substrate and a magnetic conductive layer. The magnetic induction heating disc can be made of a porous material with high porosity as the substrate material, such as open-cell foam metal, porous ceramics, or porous plastics. The magnetic conductive layer is made of a magnetic induction material, which is usually a ferrite (such as Fe3O4), a soft magnetic alloy (such as permalloy, Ni-Fe alloy), or nano-magnetic particles (such as Fe nanoparticles), etc., which have high magnetic permeability, good thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength.

[0049] Specifically, the synthesis steps of the magnetic induction heating turntable are as follows: ① Surface treatment: The substrate surface is sandblasted to increase the surface roughness, and a chemical cleaning agent is used to remove surface oil and impurities; ② Drying: The treated substrate is placed in a drying oven and dried at 60°C for 1 hour; ③ Preparation of the magnetic conductive layer: Method 1: Magnetron sputtering: a) Sputtering preparation: The substrate is fixed on the worktable of the sputtering equipment, and the vacuum pump is used to evacuate to 1×10^-3 Pa; b) Sputtering deposition: Fe3O4 is used as the target material, argon is used as the sputtering gas, and the gas pressure is controlled at 0.5 Pa. Sputtering power is 100W, sputtering time is 30 minutes, and after sputtering, allow it to cool naturally to room temperature; Method 2: Electroplating: a) Electroplating solution preparation: Prepare Fe-EDTA (ferric ethylenediaminetetraacetate) electroplating solution, with pH value controlled at 7-8; b) Electroplating process: Use the substrate as the cathode and the iron rod as the anode, electroplating voltage is 2V, electroplating time is 30 minutes, and the solution is stirred regularly to ensure uniform coating; c) Post-treatment: After electroplating, rinse with deionized water and then dry at 80°C for 1 minute. Method 3: Magnetic Particle Composite Material: a) Preparation of Magnetic Particles: Fe3O4 nanoparticles are synthesized by chemical co-precipitation, with the particle size controlled at 50-100nm; b) Preparation of Composite Material Slurry: Magnetic particles are mixed with adhesive (such as epoxy resin), stirred evenly, and an appropriate amount of solvent (such as ethanol) is added to adjust to a suitable viscosity; c) Coating and Curing: The slurry is evenly coated on the substrate surface, cured at 60°C for 2 hours, and then sintered at 120°C for 1 hour to improve the bonding strength.

[0050] Specifically, the electromagnetic induction heating component is used to generate an alternating magnetic field in a specific area (i.e., the desorption area) of the moisture-absorbing component to achieve eddy current heating.

[0051] Specifically, electromagnetic induction heating components typically consist of the following key components: ① Multiple electromagnetic coils: generating alternating magnetic fields; material: copper or aluminum wire with good conductivity; ② Drive circuit: providing high-frequency alternating current; components: a) High-frequency power supply: generating high-frequency alternating current, typically between 10kHz and 1MHz; b) Power regulator: adjusting output power as needed; ③ Temperature control system: components: controller: adjusting the output power of the drive circuit based on temperature feedback to achieve precise temperature control of the desorption area; ④ Shielding equipment: reducing electromagnetic interference and preventing impact on surrounding electronic equipment; material: high-permeability materials, such as ferrite or soft magnetic alloys; ⑤ Heating area design: to achieve heating of specific areas of the moisture-absorbing component, the position and shape of the electromagnetic coils need to be rationally designed so that the heating area is concentrated at the target location.

[0052] In one optional solution, determining whether a humidification requirement exists, based at least on the aforementioned indoor humidity and target indoor humidity, includes: determining that a humidification requirement exists if the indoor humidity is less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and the humidity judgment threshold; and determining that a humidification requirement does not exist if the indoor humidity is not less than the difference between the target indoor humidity and the humidity judgment threshold. In this embodiment, by setting a humidity judgment threshold, it is possible to more sensitively and accurately identify whether the current environment requires humidification, thereby promptly activating or adjusting the humidification function. When the indoor humidity is close to the target indoor humidity, the system will not trigger a humidification requirement, effectively preventing excessively high indoor humidity. This further avoids energy waste and potential negative impacts on the indoor environment caused by excessive humidification, such as mold growth and increased risk of respiratory diseases, providing users with a more comfortable living or working environment.

[0053] Specifically, before obtaining the indoor humidity, first check the air conditioner status: check if the air conditioner has started the humidification function. If it is "yes", open the valve and fan of the air conditioner's humidification channel, and turn on the humidification component and electromagnetic induction heating component to humidify the room.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment, the area of ​​the adsorption region and the area of ​​the desorption region are adjusted by changing the number of energized electromagnetic coils based on the humidification demand determination result. This includes: when it is determined that there is a humidification demand, the area of ​​the desorption region is reduced and the area of ​​the adsorption region is increased by decreasing the number of energized electromagnetic coils; when it is determined that there is no humidification demand, the area of ​​the desorption region is increased and the area of ​​the adsorption region is decreased by increasing the number of energized electromagnetic coils. In this embodiment, when there is a humidification demand, reducing the number of energized electromagnetic coils and decreasing the area of ​​the desorption region helps to efficiently absorb moisture, thereby increasing the humidification amount. Conversely, when there is no humidification demand, increasing the number of energized electromagnetic coils and increasing the area of ​​the desorption region reduces the humidification amount, ensuring that the indoor humidity remains stable within the target range. By regionally controlling the energization state of the electromagnetic coils, precise heating is performed only on the desorption regions that need to be heated, avoiding indiscriminate heating of the entire moisture absorption wheel, further reducing energy consumption, and further improving the energy utilization efficiency of the heating and humidification process.

[0055] In other embodiments, after adjusting the number of energized electromagnetic coils to adjust the areas of the adsorption and desorption regions, the method further includes: acquiring the temperature of the desorption region; increasing the power of the electromagnetic induction heating component when the temperature of the desorption region is lower than a preset temperature threshold; and turning off the electromagnetic induction heating component when the temperature of the desorption region is not lower than the temperature threshold. In this embodiment, by monitoring the temperature of the desorption region in real time and comparing it with a temperature threshold, the system can automatically adjust the power of the electromagnetic induction heating component to ensure that the temperature of the desorption region is neither too low nor too high. This helps to improve the efficiency and stability of moisture desorption and avoids situations where moisture desorption is difficult due to excessively low temperatures or the performance of the moisture-absorbing material is reduced due to excessively high temperatures.

[0056] Specifically, the power of the electromagnetic induction heating component refers to the output power of the electromagnetic coil.

[0057] In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the above temperature threshold based on experience or through multiple experiments; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0058] According to some exemplary embodiments of this application, the method further includes: acquiring the outdoor ambient humidity when the air conditioner is not humidifying; and activating the electromagnetic induction heating component and controlling it to heat the desorption area when the outdoor ambient humidity is greater than a preset humidity threshold. In this embodiment, even when the air conditioner is not humidifying, the system continuously monitors the outdoor ambient humidity to assess the humidity pressure that the moisture-absorbing component may face. Even if the air conditioner is not humidifying, the system will activate the electromagnetic induction heating component to heat the desorption area of ​​the moisture-absorbing component. This process helps to release excess moisture from the moisture-absorbing component, reducing the problem of decreased moisture absorption performance caused by long-term accumulation of moisture in a high-humidity environment. This ensures that the moisture-absorbing component maintains good performance when not in use, reduces material performance degradation caused by excessive humidity, and ensures that the moisture-absorbing component can respond quickly and provide efficient and stable humidification when the air conditioner requires humidification.

[0059] It should be noted that if the existing moisture-absorbing rotor is not properly stored or maintained when not in use, especially when it is in a high-humidity environment for a long time without moisture release, its moisture absorption performance will decrease significantly. This will cause the humidification capacity of the air conditioner to fail to meet the design requirements, and thus make it difficult to meet the user's humidification needs.

[0060] In practical applications, those skilled in the art can set the above humidity threshold based on experience or through multiple experiments; this application does not impose any specific restrictions on this.

[0061] According to some other exemplary embodiments of this application, the aforementioned moisture-absorbing component is a moisture-absorbing rotor, and the method further includes: increasing the rotational speed of the moisture-absorbing rotor when it is determined that there is a humidification demand; and decreasing the rotational speed of the moisture-absorbing rotor when it is determined that there is no humidification demand. In this embodiment, when there is a humidification demand, increasing the rotational speed of the moisture-absorbing rotor means increasing the circulation frequency of the moisture absorption and desorption zones, which helps to improve the adsorption and release efficiency of moisture, thereby shortening the humidification time. The increase in rotational speed increases the contact opportunity between the surface of the moisture-absorbing rotor and the air, allowing moisture to be absorbed by the rotor more quickly, thereby increasing the humidification capacity and accelerating the rate at which the indoor humidity approaches the target indoor humidity.
