[0085] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0086] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0087] There are two major problems in the air conditioning control methods based on dynamic thermal comfort in related technologies: first, the control dimension is too single. Existing solutions mostly use feedback adjustment mechanisms of single influencing parameters such as temperature, wind speed, and humidity. Although some studies have introduced human metabolic rate parameters, there is a lack of coordinated analysis with key physiological indicators such as skin temperature, heart rate, and blood flow; second, the air supply strategy is static. Existing dynamic thermal comfort control methods mostly rely on the PMV-PPD model, and achieve environmental control by adjusting six basic parameters such as air temperature and air flow. Their air supply systems generally adopt a fixed partitioning mode, and fail to establish a closed-loop mechanism for dynamic prediction of wind field air supply and response to human thermal status.

[0088] The invention provides a method for controlling an air conditioner.

[0089] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention.

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the control method at least includes step S110, step S120, step S130 and step S140.

[0091] Step S110 , monitoring the physiological parameters of the user in the environment.

[0092] Specifically, the physiological parameters of the user in the environment are monitored at preset time intervals. The physiological parameters of the user include: the change in the microcirculatory blood flow velocity (within the acquisition time) of the user's body surface ΔV 血流 , user skin surface temperature gradient change ΔT 皮肤 、Effective heat dissipation area of human body A 体表 , action intensity coefficient S 动作 and at least one of the heart rate variability indicators SDNN and RMSSD.

[0093] Change in blood flow velocity of the user's microcirculation ΔV 血流It can be obtained by monitoring superficial blood vessels (such as fingertips, neck, etc.) through millimeter wave radar. For example, the blood flow velocity is collected every 1 minute, and the blood flow velocity 1 minute ago and the blood flow velocity at the current moment are monitored. The difference between the blood flow velocity at the two moments is the change in the blood flow velocity of the surface microcirculation ΔV. 血流 For example, the millimeter-wave radar detected that the blood flow velocity in the hand increased from 2.0 mm / s to 3.5 mm / s (Δt=10s).

[0094] User's skin surface temperature gradient change ΔT 皮肤 Specifically, it can be the difference between the skin surface temperature collected at the previous moment and the skin surface temperature at the current moment. The skin surface temperature value can be specifically the average of the skin surface temperatures of various parts of the human body, which can be obtained by scanning key areas of the body (e.g., forehead, chest, limbs, etc.) with an infrared thermal imager and then calculating the average value.

[0095] Human body effective heat dissipation area A 体表 , can be estimated based on height and weight, for example, by the DuBois formula: 体表 =0.202×H 0.725 ×W 0.425 ; Where H is height and W is weight.

[0096] Action intensity coefficient S 动作 UWB positioning + RGB camera can be used for posture recognition, and then mapped to standard values. Different actions correspond to different standard values. For example, when sitting still, S 动作 =1.0, when walking S 动作 =2.0, when running or jumping S 动作 =3.5.

[0097] To calculate the heart rate variability indicators SDNN and RMSSD, the user's heartbeat intervals (RR intervals) are first collected via millimeter-wave radar. The SDNN indicator is the standard deviation of all normal heartbeat intervals, reflecting overall autonomic nervous system tone. The RMSSD indicator is the root mean square of the difference between adjacent RR intervals, indicating parasympathetic (vagus nerve) activity. The formulas are as follows:

[0098]

[0099] Where RRi represents the i-th RR interval, in ms; It represents the average value of all RR intervals in milliseconds; N represents the total number of RR intervals, such as the total number of RR intervals within the analysis window.

[0100] Step S120 , calculating a comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user based on the monitored physiological parameters of the user in the environment.

[0101] Figure 2 A flowchart of a specific embodiment of the step of calculating the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index based on the monitored human physiological parameters of the user in the environment is shown.

[0102] like Figure 2 As shown, step S120 includes: step S121, step S122 and step S123.

[0103] Step S121: Based on the change in blood flow velocity of the user's microcirculation, ΔV 血流 , user skin surface temperature gradient change ΔT 皮肤 、Effective heat dissipation area of human body A 体表 and action intensity coefficient S 动作 Calculate metabolic rate (MET) associated with blood flow and skin temperature using radar-thermal imaging.

[0104] Specifically, according to the change in blood flow velocity of the user's body surface microcirculation ΔV 血流 , user skin surface temperature gradient change ΔT 皮肤 、Effective heat dissipation area of human body A 体表 and action intensity coefficient S 动作 , the metabolic rate MET associated with blood flow and skin temperature is calculated using the following formula 雷达-热成像 :

[0105]

[0106] Where, ΔV 血流 is the change in blood flow velocity of the microcirculation of the body surface, in mm / s, Δt is the time interval for collecting blood flow velocity changes, in seconds; for example, if the collection is performed every 1 minute, then Δt = 60; ΔT 皮肤 is the temperature gradient change of the skin surface, unit is ℃; A 体表 is the effective heat dissipation area of the human body, in m 2 ;S 动作 is the action intensity coefficient; k1, k2, k3 are weight coefficients, which can be obtained through machine learning calibration or experimental data fitting.

[0107] Calibration of weight coefficients through machine learning mainly includes the following steps:

[0108] 1. Data collection: Collect the blood flow velocity change (ΔV 血流 ), the skin temperature gradient measured by the thermal imager (ΔT 皮肤 / A 体表 ), UWB positioning + RGB camera recognition action intensity coefficient S 动作 , real metabolic rate, user age, BMI, ambient temperature and humidity.

[0109] 2. Training model: Use the Gradient Boosted Regression Tree (GBRT) model, input the collected data, and output the predicted metabolic rate. The goal is to minimize the mean squared error between the predicted value and the true metabolic rate.

[0110] After the model is trained, the user's blood flow velocity change (ΔV 血流 ), skin temperature gradient (ΔT 皮肤 / A 体表 ), action intensity coefficient S 动作 and user age and BMI, the model automatically calculates the weight ratio through feature importance analysis and outputs dynamically adapted weight coefficients (k1, k2, k3).

[0111] For example, the millimeter-wave radar detected that the blood flow velocity in the hand increased from 2.0 mm / s to 3.5 mm / s, with an acquisition interval of Δt = 10 s, and the thermal imaging showed the temperature gradient of the torso ΔT 皮肤 =0.8℃,A 体表 =1.6m 2 , the camera recognizes that the user is in a standing state, that is, the action intensity coefficient S 动作 =1.2, and the weight coefficients k1=0.12, k2=0.8, k3=0.5 are obtained through machine learning calibration or experimental data fitting. Then the metabolic rate MET associated with blood flow and skin temperature is 雷达-热成像 for:

[0112]

[0113] Step S122: Calculate the metabolic rate MET associated with heart rate variability based on the heart rate variability index SDNN and RMSSD. HRV .

[0114] In a specific embodiment, the metabolic rate MET associated with heart rate variability is calculated using the following formula based on the heart rate variability index SDNN and RMSSD: HRV :

[0115]

[0116] Among them, SDNN is the standard deviation of RR intervals, in milliseconds, reflecting sympathetic nerve activity; RMSSD is the root mean square of the difference between adjacent RR intervals, in milliseconds, representing parasympathetic nerve regulation; γ and δ are weight coefficients, which can be calibrated by multiple regression.

[0117] For example, if SDNN = 32ms, RMSSD = 25ms, γ = 0.15, and δ = 0.08, then the METs associated with heart rate variability and metabolic rate are HRV for:

[0118]

[0119] Step S123, according to the calculated metabolic rate MET associated with blood flow and skin temperature 雷达-热成像 and the metabolic rate MET associated with heart rate variability HRV Calculate the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 .

[0120] In a specific embodiment, according to the metabolic rate MET associated with blood flow and skin temperature 雷达-热成像 and the metabolic rate MET associated with heart rate variability HRV , use the following formula to calculate the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 :

[0121] MET 综合 =α·MET 雷达-热成像 +β·MET HRV +ε·S 动作

[0122] Among them, α, β and ε are weight coefficients, which can be obtained by fitting experimental data or by optimizing dynamic weight coefficients based on random forest model. For example, α = 0.6, β = 0.3, ε = 0.1, the MET calculated above is 雷达-热成像 =1.018, MET HRV =0.08, S 动作 =1.2, then the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 for:

[0123] MET 综合 =0.6·1.018+0.3·0.08+0.1·1.2=0.2074368

[0124] Through the above method, the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET can be calculated in real time 综合 .

[0125] Step S130: adjusting the air supply temperature and / or air supply humidity of the air conditioner according to the currently calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user.

[0126] Figure 3 A flowchart of a specific implementation of the step of adjusting the air supply temperature of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user is shown.

[0127] like Figure 3 As shown, the step of adjusting the air supply temperature of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user may specifically include step S131 and step S132.

[0128] Step S131, calculating the current set air supply temperature of the air conditioner based on the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user.

[0129] Specifically, the air supply temperature when the air conditioner is turned on and running in cooling mode is obtained as the reference air supply temperature; the current set air supply temperature of the air conditioner is calculated based on the reference air supply temperature, the currently calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user, and the last calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user. Among them, the currently calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET of the user calculated based on the human physiological parameters of the user in the environment currently monitored, is calculated. 综合2 , the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated last time, that is, the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated last time based on the user's human physiological parameters in the monitored environment 综合1 .

[0130] In a specific embodiment, the current set air supply temperature of the air conditioner is calculated using the following formula based on the reference air supply temperature, the currently calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user, and the last calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user:

[0131] T 设定 =T 基准 -a·(MET 综合2 -MET 综合1 )

[0132] Among them, T 设定 Indicates the current set air supply temperature, T 基准 Indicates the reference air supply temperature, a is the temperature adjustment coefficient, and the value range includes, for example, 0 to 5°C / MET, where MET represents the unit of the comprehensive metabolic rate index; 综合1 Indicates the comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user calculated last time (last moment), that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's human physiological parameters in the environment last time, MET 综合2 It represents the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated at the current time, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's human physiological parameters in the environment.

[0133] Step S132: adjusting the air supply temperature of the air conditioner according to the calculated set air supply temperature and the upper limit temperature and the lower limit temperature of the preset air supply temperature range.

[0134] The preset air supply temperature range can specifically be a preset thermal comfort temperature range. The thermal comfort temperature range is a dynamic temperature range. For example, different seasons correspond to different air supply temperature ranges, such as 23°C to 26°C in summer and 20°C to 24°C in winter.

[0135] Among them, when the set supply air temperature is less than or equal to the upper limit temperature of the preset supply air temperature range and greater than or equal to the lower limit temperature of the preset supply air temperature range, the supply air temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the set supply air temperature; when the set supply air temperature is greater than the upper limit temperature of the preset supply air temperature range, the supply air temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the upper limit temperature of the preset supply air temperature range; when the set supply air temperature is less than the lower limit temperature of the preset supply air temperature range, the supply air temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the lower limit temperature of the preset supply air temperature range.

[0136] For example, the user's dynamic thermal comfort temperature range has a lower limit temperature of Tmin and an upper limit temperature of Tmax. 设定 With the size of Tmax and Tmin, when T 设定 When it is less than or equal to Tmax, it proves that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is below the upper limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range temperature, and then we can further judge T 设定 With the size of Tmin. When T 设定 When it is greater than or equal to Tmin, it proves that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is above the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort zone temperature, that is, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is within the dynamic thermal comfort zone air supply temperature range, then it can be directly calculated based on the T at this time. 设定 Temperature adjustment of air supply temperature of air conditioner: when T 设定 When the air supply temperature is not greater than or equal to (less than) Tmin, it means that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is less than the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range. Too low a temperature will cause discomfort to the user. At this time, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner should be the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range, that is, T 设定 =Tmin, then adjust the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to Tmin℃.

[0137] When T 设定 When it is not less than or equal to (greater than) Tmax, it means that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner exceeds the upper limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range. Too high a temperature will make the user uncomfortable. Therefore, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner should be the upper limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range, that is, T 设定 =Tmax, then adjust the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to Tmax℃.

[0138] Among them, if T 设定 The air supply temperature is lower than the previous moment. You can increase the compressor frequency and increase the indoor valve opening until the current air supply temperature is equal to T 设定 If T设定 The air supply temperature is higher than the previous moment. You can reduce the compressor frequency and adjust the indoor valve opening until the current air supply temperature is equal to T 设定 .

[0139] Figure 4 A flowchart of a specific implementation of the step of adjusting the air supply humidity of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user is shown.

[0140] like Figure 4 As shown, the step of adjusting the air supply humidity of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user may specifically include step S133 and step S134.

[0141] Step S133: Calculate the current target air supply humidity of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user.

[0142] Specifically, the relative humidity of the air in the environment after the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted is obtained as the reference air supply humidity; the current target air supply humidity of the air conditioner is calculated based on the reference air supply humidity, the currently calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user, and the last calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user. The currently calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET of the user calculated based on the human physiological parameters of the user in the environment currently monitored, is calculated. 综合2 , the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated last time, that is, the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated last time based on the user's human physiological parameters in the monitored environment 综合1 .

[0143] In a specific embodiment, the current target air supply humidity of the air conditioner is calculated using the following formula based on the reference air supply humidity, the currently calculated comprehensive metabolic rate of the user, and the last calculated comprehensive metabolic rate of the user:

[0144] RH 目标 =RH 基准 -b·(MET 综合2 -MET 综合1 )

[0145] Among them, RH 目标 Indicates the current target air supply humidity, RH 基准 Indicates the reference air supply humidity, b is the humidity adjustment coefficient, and the value range may include: 1~20% / MET; MET 综合1Indicates the comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user calculated last time (last moment), that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's human physiological parameters in the environment last time, MET 综合2 It represents the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated at the current time, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's human physiological parameters in the environment.

[0146] Step S134: adjusting the supply air humidity of the air conditioner according to the calculated target supply air humidity and the upper limit humidity and the lower limit humidity of the preset supply air humidity range.

[0147] The preset air supply humidity range may specifically be a preset thermal comfort humidity range. The thermal comfort humidity range is a dynamic humidity range.

[0148] Among them, when the target supply air humidity is less than or equal to the upper limit humidity of the preset supply air humidity range and greater than or equal to the lower limit humidity of the preset supply air humidity range, the supply air humidity of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the target supply air humidity; when the target supply air humidity is greater than the upper limit humidity of the preset supply air humidity range, the supply air humidity of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the upper limit humidity of the preset supply air humidity range; when the target supply air humidity is less than the lower limit humidity of the preset supply air temperature humidity, the supply air humidity of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the lower limit humidity of the preset supply air humidity range.

[0149] For example, the user's dynamic thermal comfort humidity range has a lower limit of RHmin and an upper limit of RHmax. 目标 With the size of RHmax and RHmin, when RH 目标 When it is less than or equal to RHmax, it proves that the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner is below the upper limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range, and then we can further judge the RH 目标 With the size of RHmin,

[0150] When RH 目标 When RHmin is greater than or equal to RHmin, it proves that the humidity of the air supply by the air conditioner is above the lower limit of the humidity in the dynamic thermal comfort range, that is, the humidity of the air supply by the air conditioner is within the range of the humidity in the dynamic thermal comfort range. 目标 Adjust the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner.

[0151] When RH 目标 When the humidity is not greater than or equal to (less than) RHmin, it means that the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner is less than the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range. Too low humidity will cause the air to be dry, causing discomfort to the user. At this time, the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner should be the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range, that is, RH 目标=RHmin, then adjust the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner to RHmin%.

[0152] When RH 目标 When the humidity is not less than or equal to (greater than) RHmax, it means that the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner exceeds the upper limit of the humidity of the air supplied in the dynamic thermal comfort range. Excessive humidity will make the user feel damp and uncomfortable. Therefore, the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner at this time should be the upper limit of the humidity of the dynamic thermal comfort range, that is, RH 目标 =RHmax, then adjust the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner to RHmax%.

[0153] The above control process can drive the coordinated control of air conditioning temperature and humidity. For example, assuming that the indoor reference air temperature is 26℃ and the humidity is 50%, the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated by monitoring parameters at the last moment is 综合1 =0.15, the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated by monitoring parameters at this moment 综合2 =0.35, the temperature adjustment coefficient a is 5, the humidity adjustment coefficient b is 20, then T setting = 26-5 (0.35-0.15) = 25 ° C, RH 目标 =50%-20(0.35-0.15)=46%, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is adjusted from the base 26°C to 25°C, and the air supply humidity is adjusted from the base 50% to 46%, accelerating sweat evaporation and cooling.

[0154] Among them, the humidification module and dehumidification module of the air conditioning system are used, and the humidity sensor is used for real-time monitoring to adjust the humidity of the supply air.

[0155] Step S140 , controlling the upward and downward airflow of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user.

[0156] Specifically, the air conditioner is a top-down air conditioner, and the top-down air flow of the air conditioner can be controlled based on the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user. More specifically, based on the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user, the air volume of the top and bottom ducts of the air conditioner can be controlled, and / or the air outlet angle of the top and bottom ducts of the air conditioner can be controlled, and / or the air velocity of the top and bottom ducts of the air conditioner can be controlled.

[0157] Figure 5 The flowchart of a specific embodiment of the steps of controlling the upper and lower air outlets of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user is shown. Figure 5 As shown, step S140 includes step S141 and step S142, and / or includes step S143 and step S144, and / or includes step S145 and step S146.

[0158] Step S141 , calculating the air volume of the upper duct and the air volume of the lower duct of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user.

[0159] Step S142: Control the upper and lower air outlets of the air conditioner according to the calculated upper duct air volume and lower duct air volume.

[0160] In a specific embodiment, the air volume of the upper duct and the air volume of the lower duct of the air conditioner are calculated based on the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user using the following air volume distribution formula:

[0161]

[0162] Q 下风道 =Q 总风量 -Q 上风道

[0163] The sum of the upper and lower duct air volumes is the total air volume, MET 综合2 Indicates the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index currently calculated, that is, the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated based on the user's human physiological parameters in the monitored environment 综合2 , MET 综合静息 The MET index represents the comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user at rest, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's physiological parameters when the user is at rest. 综合中间 It represents the comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's physiological parameters when the user is in the intermediate active state. The human body's active state includes, for example, a resting state, an intermediate active state, and a very active state. The intermediate active state is an intermediate state between the resting state and the very active state. Different active states correspond to different action intensity coefficients. For example, the range of human activity state from rest to very active is 1 to 3, and the intermediate active state has a value of 2, that is, S 动作 = 2. For different human activity states, the corresponding S action values in the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculation formula can be substituted.

[0164] Step S143 , calculating the upwind outlet angle and the downwind outlet angle of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user.

[0165] Step S144: Control the upper and lower air outlets of the air conditioner according to the calculated upper air outlet angle and lower air outlet angle.

[0166] Based on the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated in real time 综合Dynamically adjust the upper and lower duct outlet angles of the air conditioner. In a specific embodiment, the upper duct outlet angle θ of the air conditioner is calculated based on the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user using the following formula: 上风道 and downwind duct outlet angle θ 下风道 :

[0167] θ 上风道 =θ1·tanh(δ·(MET 综合2 -MET 综合站立 ))+σ

[0168]

[0169] Among them, θ1 is the maximum pitch adjustment angle, which can be determined based on ergonomic experiments. For example, it can be set to 15°. A 15° pitch angle can cover a person with a height of 1.8 meters from head to waist. If it exceeds 15°, it is easy for the air to blow directly to the face and cause discomfort. δ represents the sensitivity to changes in metabolic rate, which can be obtained by fitting experimental data. θ2 represents the anti-direct blowing protection angle to prevent cold wind from blowing directly on the ankles. For example, it can be set to -5°. θ3 is the elevation angle that allows the airflow to reach a preset distance. For example, when θ3 = 10°, a 10° elevation angle can allow the airflow to reach 2 meters away. For example, if θ1 = 15° and δ = 0.5, then

[0170] θ 上风道 =15°·tanh(0.5·(MET 综合2 -MET 综合站立 ))+σ

[0171]

[0172] Among them, MET 综合2 Indicates the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index currently calculated, that is, the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated based on the user's human physiological parameters in the monitored environment 综合2 , MET 综合站立 It represents the total metabolic rate index of the user when he is in a standing state, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's physiological parameters when the human body is in a standing state, MET 综合中间 represents the comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user when the user is in the intermediate active state, that is, the comprehensive metabolic rate index calculated by monitoring the user's human physiological parameters when the user is in the intermediate active state, and σ is the angle adjustment coefficient, and its value range is -10° to 10°.

[0173] Step S145 , calculating the upper and lower air outlet speeds of the air conditioner according to the calculated comprehensive metabolic rate index of the user.

[0174] Step S146: Control the up and down air flow of the air conditioner according to the calculated up and down air flow speeds.

[0175] Specifically, when the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index is less than or equal to a preset value, the upper and lower air outlet wind speeds of the air conditioner are calculated according to the following formula:

[0176] v=A1+B1MET 综合

[0177] Among them, A1 is the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 The basic wind speed when it is less than or equal to the preset value, unit: m / s; B1 represents the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 The increase in air velocity per unit increase, unit: m / s. These values are derived from experiments and analysis of a large amount of relevant data. For example, if A1 is 0.3m / s and B is 0.2m / s, then

[0178] v=0.3+0.2MET 综合

[0179] When the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index is greater than a preset value, the upper and lower air flow speeds of the air conditioner are calculated according to the following formula:

[0180] v=A2+B2(MET 综合 -C)

[0181] Among them, A2 (for example, 0.8) is the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 The basic wind speed is greater than the preset value C (for example, 2.5); B2 (for example, 0.5) represents the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 When the air supply speed increases by 1 unit when the air supply speed is greater than the preset value C, C is the preset value, i.e. the dividing line. These values are derived from experiments and the analysis of a large amount of relevant data. For example, if A2 is 0.8, B2 is 0.5, and C is 2.5, then

[0182] v=0.8+0.5(MET 综合 -2.5)

[0183] At this time, MET in the above two formulas 综合 According to S 动作 When taking values, each parameter is monitored and then the comprehensive metabolic rate index of the human body is obtained through calculation.

[0184] Through the above control process, dynamic regulation of the air flow of the air conditioner can be achieved based on the feedback of multimodal physiological data.

[0185] In order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the execution process of the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention is described below with reference to some specific embodiments.

[0186] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a specific embodiment of the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, first, the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET is calculated in real time 综合 Then, the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET is calculated in real time 综合 Drive the coordinated control of air conditioning temperature and humidity, and finally, according to the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET calculated in real time 综合 Dynamically adjust the air supply of up and down air conditioners.

[0187] Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the calculation flow of the comprehensive metabolic rate index in the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, a millimeter-wave radar, infrared imager, UWB positioning + RGB camera are set in the air-conditioning system to monitor the user's microcirculatory blood flow velocity ΔV in real time. 血流 , user skin surface temperature gradient change ΔT 皮肤 、Effective heat dissipation area of human body A 体表 , action intensity coefficient S 动作 , heart rate variability index SDNN, RMSSD, and use the above monitored parameters to calculate the metabolic rate MET associated with blood flow and skin temperature 雷达-热成像 , and calculate the METs associated with heart rate variability and metabolic rate HRV , based on the calculated metabolic rate MET associated with blood flow and skin temperature 雷达-热成像 and metabolic rate (MET) associated with heart rate variability HRV Calculate the user's comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 .

[0188] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the coordinated control of temperature and humidity of an air conditioner in the air conditioner control method provided by the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner is turned on in cooling mode and the current air supply temperature is set as the reference air supply temperature T 基准 , and according to the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 Calculate the current set air supply temperature of the air conditioner, assuming that the lower limit of the user's dynamic thermal comfort temperature range is Tmin and the upper limit is Tmax, and judge T 设定 With the size of Tmax,

[0189] (1) When T 设定 When it is less than or equal to Tmax, it proves that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is below the upper limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range temperature, and then we can further judge T 设定 With the size of Tmin:

[0190] a. When T设定 When it is greater than or equal to Tmin, it proves that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is above the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort zone temperature, that is, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is within the dynamic thermal comfort zone air supply temperature range, then it can be directly calculated based on the T at this time. 设定 Temperature adjusts the air supply temperature of the air conditioner:

[0191] b. When T 设定 When the temperature is not greater than or equal to Tmin, it means that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner is lower than the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range. Too low a temperature will cause discomfort to the user. At this time, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner should be the lower limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range, that is, T 设定 =Tmin, then adjust the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to Tmin.

[0192] (2) When T 设定 When Tmax is not less than or equal to Tmax, it means that the air supply temperature of the air conditioner exceeds the upper limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range. Too high a temperature will make the user uncomfortable. Therefore, the air supply temperature of the air conditioner should be the upper limit of the dynamic thermal comfort range, that is, T 设定 =Tmax, then adjust the air supply temperature of the air conditioner to Tmax.

[0193] According to T 设定 After adjusting the air supply temperature of the air conditioner, continue to monitor the current indoor air humidity and set it to RH 基准 , and according to the comprehensive metabolic rate index MET 综合 Calculate the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner.

[0202] Change in blood flow velocity of the user's microcirculation ΔV 血流 It can be obtained by monitoring superficial blood vessels (such as fingertips, neck, etc.) through millimeter wave radar. For example, the blood flow velocity is collected every 1 minute, and the blood flow velocity 1 minute ago and the blood flow velocity at the current moment are monitored. The difference between the blood flow velocity at the two moments is the change in the blood flow velocity of the surface microcirculation ΔV. 血流 For example, the millimeter-wave radar detected that the blood flow velocity in the hand increased from 2.0 mm / s to 3.5 mm / s (Δt=10s).

[0203] User's skin surface temperature gradient change ΔT 皮肤 Specifically, it can be the difference between the skin surface temperature collected at the previous moment and the skin surface temperature at the current moment. The skin surface temperature value can be specifically the average of the skin surface temperatures of various parts of the human body, which can be obtained by scanning key areas of the body (e.g., forehead, chest, limbs, etc.) with an infrared thermal imager and then calculating the average value.

The SDNN indicator is the standard deviation of all normal heartbeat intervals, reflecting overall autonomic nervous system tone. The RMSSD indicator is the root mean square of the difference between adjacent RR intervals, indicating parasympathetic (vagus nerve) activity. The formulas are as follows:
