[0026] This embodiment first provides a cooling control method for an air conditioner indoor unit, which enables the air conditioner indoor unit to automatically operate in different stages, meeting user needs while effectively saving energy and electricity and improving the level of intelligence. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cooling control method for an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the cooling control method of the indoor unit of the air conditioner may include the following steps:

[0027] Step S102, receiving a trigger signal for the air conditioner indoor unit to turn on the smart mode;

[0028] Step S104, controlling the indoor unit of the air conditioner to operate in a rapid cooling stage for a first preset time period;

[0029] Step S106, obtaining the ambient temperature of the indoor environment where the air conditioner indoor unit is located;

[0030] Step S108: When the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is controlled to operate in the intelligent adjustment stage and last for a second preset time period.

[0031] In the above steps, step S102 receives a trigger signal for turning on the smart mode of the air conditioner indoor unit. In a specific embodiment, the trigger signal may be received from a display device, a voice device, a remote control, or a mobile terminal associated with the air conditioner indoor unit. The mobile terminal may be a portable smart device, such as a smartphone or a tablet computer.

[0032] Step S104 controls the air conditioner indoor unit to operate in a rapid cooling phase for a first preset duration. In a specific embodiment, when the air conditioner indoor unit operates in the rapid cooling phase, the air guide of the air conditioner indoor unit can be controlled to discharge air upward, the vertical swing blades can swing at maximum speed, the fan can operate at a strong wind speed, and the heat exchanger can operate at maximum cooling capacity. This allows the air conditioner indoor unit to quickly cool the indoor environment in which it is located, quickly satisfying the user's need for a cool feeling. At the same time, the upward discharge of the air guide can also prevent the cold air from blowing directly at the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] Step S106: Acquire the ambient temperature of the indoor environment where the air conditioner indoor unit is located. In a specific embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit is provided with a temperature sensor, and a temperature sensor is provided in each of three corners of the indoor environment other than the corner where the air conditioner indoor unit is located. Furthermore, the step of acquiring the ambient temperature of the indoor environment where the air conditioner indoor unit is located may include acquiring actual temperatures detected by the four temperature sensors and calculating an average value as the ambient temperature.

[0034] It should be noted that, regardless of whether it is a floor-standing or wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, it can be installed in a corner of the indoor environment. By installing a temperature sensor on the indoor unit body and in three corners of the indoor environment other than the corner where the air conditioner is located, the actual temperatures detected by the four temperature sensors are obtained, and the average of the four actual temperatures is calculated as the ambient temperature. Compared with the traditional air conditioner indoor unit that only has a single temperature sensor and directly obtains the ambient temperature, the ambient temperature in this embodiment can more accurately reflect the overall temperature of the indoor environment. Furthermore, it can facilitate the subsequent accurate determination of whether the air conditioner indoor unit has entered the next stage of operation.

[0035] Step S108, when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, the air conditioner indoor unit is controlled to operate in the intelligent adjustment stage and last for a second preset time. In a specific embodiment, the preset temperature may be 27°C. When the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, it means that the ambient temperature has been effectively reduced and the air conditioner indoor unit no longer needs to continue to operate in the rapid cooling stage. Therefore, the air conditioner indoor unit can be controlled to operate in the intelligent adjustment stage. It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned preset temperatures are only examples and are not limitations of the present invention. In some other embodiments, the preset temperature can also be set to other values ​​according to actual conditions.

[0036] Among them, the second preset time length is greater than the first preset time length. In a specific embodiment, the first preset time length may be 3 minutes, and the second preset time length may be 20 minutes. That is to say, the air conditioner indoor unit runs in the rapid cooling stage for a shorter time, and the air conditioner indoor unit runs in the intelligent adjustment stage for a longer time, and enters the intelligent adjustment stage as soon as possible after the indoor environment is rapidly cooled. It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned first preset time length and the second preset time length are only for example, and are not limitations of the present invention. In some other embodiments, it can also be set to other values ​​according to actual conditions, but it is necessary to make the second preset time length greater than the first preset time length.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit operates in the intelligent adjustment stage, and the air guide plate of the air conditioner indoor unit can be controlled to discharge air upward, the vertical swing blades can swing at a medium speed, the fan can operate at a medium wind speed, and the heat exchanger can be turned off, so that the air conditioner indoor unit can only supply air without cooling. The cooling control method of the air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment is very suitable for a certain type of user group, such as the elderly. Because the cooling demand of the elderly is relatively low, after a short rapid cooling stage, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, the air conditioner indoor unit can be operated in the intelligent adjustment stage for a long time. While ensuring user comfort, it can also achieve energy saving and power saving, and can effectively improve the level of intelligence.

[0038] In summary, the refrigeration control method of the air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment receives a trigger signal to turn on the intelligent mode of the air conditioner indoor unit, controls the air conditioner indoor unit to operate in the rapid cooling stage and lasts for a first preset time, obtains the ambient temperature of the indoor environment where the air conditioner indoor unit is located, and when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, controls the air conditioner indoor unit to operate in the intelligent adjustment stage and lasts for a second preset time, wherein the second preset time is greater than the first preset time, so that the air conditioner indoor unit can automatically operate in different stages, meeting user needs while effectively saving energy and electricity, and improving the degree of intelligence.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit can achieve higher technical effects by further optimizing and configuring the above steps. The following describes in detail the cooling control method of the air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment in combination with an introduction to an optional execution process of this embodiment. This embodiment is only an example of the execution process. During specific implementation, the execution order and operating conditions of some steps can be modified according to specific implementation requirements. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a detailed flow chart of a cooling control method for an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the cooling control method of the air conditioner indoor unit includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S202, receiving a trigger signal for the air conditioner indoor unit to turn on the smart mode;

[0041] Step S204: Control the four small guide plates to discharge air upward, the two vertical swing blades to swing at a first speed, the two fans to operate at a first wind speed, and the two heat exchangers to operate at maximum cooling capacity for a first preset time period.

[0042] Step S206, obtaining the actual temperatures detected by the four temperature sensors and calculating the average value as the ambient temperature;

[0043] Step S208, determining whether the ambient temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature, if so, executing step S210, if not, executing step S204;

[0044] Step S210: Control the four small guide plates to discharge air upward, the two vertical swing blades to swing at a second speed, the two fans to operate at a second wind speed, and the two heat exchangers to be turned off for a second preset time period.

[0045] Step S212, determining whether the ambient temperature is greater than a preset temperature, if so, executing step S204, if not, executing step S210.

[0046] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner indoor unit, Figure 3 1 is a structural diagram of an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of an air conditioner indoor unit according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit in this embodiment can be a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit.

[0047] The air outlet 115 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be provided with upper and lower double-layer air guide plates, each layer of air guide plates includes two small guide plates arranged on the left and right, and the four small guide plates are configured to be controlled separately. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the four small guide plates may be: a first guide plate 121 on the upper left, a second guide plate 122 on the lower left, a third guide plate 123 on the upper right, and a fourth guide plate 124 on the lower right. The upper air guide plates are divided into the first guide plate 121 and the third guide plate 123 arranged on the left and right, and the lower air guide plates are divided into the second guide plate 122 and the fourth guide plate 124 arranged on the left and right.

[0048] These four small guide plates are independently controlled, meaning they can be controlled separately by four motors, and each small guide plate can achieve the same or different operating states. For example, the first guide plate 121 and the second guide plate 122 can be closed while the third guide plate 123 and the fourth guide plate 124 can be open; or the first guide plate 121 and the second guide plate 122 can discharge air upward while the third guide plate 123 and the fourth guide plate 124 can discharge air horizontally. In short, the first guide plate 121, the second guide plate 122, the third guide plate 123, and the fourth guide plate 124 are all independently controlled, allowing them to achieve different operating states.

[0049] Specifically, Figure 1 What is shown is the situation where the first guide plate 121, the second guide plate 122, the third guide plate 123 and the fourth guide plate 124 are all closed. At this time, the indoor unit of the air conditioner may be in the closed state, and there is no air outlet at the air outlet 115. The air outlet 115 is completely closed by the four small guide plates. Figure 2 What is shown is the situation that the first guide plate 121, the second guide plate 122, the third guide plate 123 and the fourth guide plate 124 are all opened, and the first guide plate 121, the second guide plate 122, the third guide plate 123 and the fourth guide plate 124 are all in a horizontal state, so that the air outlet 115 is horizontal.

[0050] Furthermore, the air conditioner indoor unit's vertical swing blades, fan, and heat exchanger (not shown) are divided into two sections, corresponding to the two small guide plates on the left and the two small guide plates on the right, and both sections are configured to be independently controlled. This means that the vertical swing blades, fan, and heat exchanger can be divided into two sections, corresponding to the first guide plate 121 and the second guide plate 122 on the left, and the third guide plate 123 and the fourth guide plate 124 on the right. The vertical swing blades, fan, and heat exchanger on the left correspond to the first guide plate 121 and the second guide plate 122 on the left; the vertical swing blades, fan, and heat exchanger on the right correspond to the third guide plate 123 and the fourth guide plate 124 on the right.

[0051] The left vertical swing blade, fan, heat exchanger, and right vertical swing blade, fan, and heat exchanger are also controlled separately. In other words, the operating status of the left vertical swing blade and the right vertical swing blade can be the same or different. The operating status of the left fan and the right fan can be the same or different. The operating status of the left heat exchanger and the right heat exchanger can be the same or different. The multiple small guides, vertical swing blades, fans, and heat exchangers of the air conditioner indoor unit are controlled separately to match different usage scenarios and effectively improve the user experience.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit may include a housing 110, which may define a cavity within the housing 110, wherein the fan and heat exchanger may be disposed in the cavity. Furthermore, the housing 110 may include a front panel 111, side panels 112, a top panel 113, a bottom panel 114, and a rear panel (not shown). An air inlet (not shown) may be provided on the top panel 113, and an air outlet 115 may be provided below the front panel 111.

[0053] Air entering the cavity through the air inlet exchanges heat in the heat exchanger before being blown out through the air outlet 115 by the fan. When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is operating in cooling mode, the air heated by the heat exchanger becomes cold air. This air is then delivered to the indoor environment through the air outlet 115, lowering the indoor temperature and providing a cooler feeling to the user. The heat exchanger can operate at different cooling capacities to provide varying amounts of cooling.

[0054] It should be noted that Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The cooling control method of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is applicable to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Indoor unit of air conditioner. Especially in Figure 2 In the steps shown, step S202 is first executed to receive a trigger signal for turning on the smart mode of the air conditioner indoor unit. The air conditioner indoor unit turns on the smart mode, indicating that the air conditioner indoor unit can automatically operate in different stages, meeting user needs while effectively saving energy and electricity, and improving the level of intelligence.

[0055] Specifically, after receiving the trigger signal for turning on the smart mode of the air conditioner indoor unit, step S204 may be executed first to control the four small guide plates to blow air upward, the two vertical swing blades to swing at a first speed, the two fans to operate at a first wind speed, and the two heat exchangers to operate at maximum cooling capacity for a first preset time. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, controlling the four small guide plates to discharge air upward actually refers to controlling the first guide plate 121, the second guide plate 122, the third guide plate 123, and the fourth guide plate 124 to discharge air upward. Since this embodiment is a cooling control method for an air conditioner indoor unit, the air conditioner indoor unit will perform cooling after turning on the smart mode, and cold air will be blown out through the air outlet 115. Therefore, by controlling the four small guide plates to discharge air upward, cold air can be prevented from directly blowing on the user, thereby ensuring the user's comfort and health.

[0056] Both vertical blades swing at a first speed, which can actually be a maximum speed. Both fans operate at a first wind speed, which can actually be a high wind speed. Both heat exchangers operate at maximum cooling capacity. In other words, step S204 actually controls the air conditioner indoor unit to operate in a rapid cooling phase for a first preset duration. This allows the air conditioner indoor unit to quickly cool the indoor environment, quickly satisfying the user's need for a cool feeling.

[0057] Step S206: Acquire the actual temperatures detected by the four temperature sensors and calculate the average value as the ambient temperature. In a specific embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit may be located in a corner of the indoor environment. By installing a temperature sensor on the air conditioner indoor unit body and in three corners of the indoor environment other than the corner where the air conditioner indoor unit is located, the actual temperatures detected by the four temperature sensors are acquired, and the average value of the four actual temperatures is calculated as the ambient temperature. Compared to conventional air conditioner indoor units that only have a single temperature sensor and directly obtain the ambient temperature, the ambient temperature in this embodiment more accurately reflects the overall temperature of the indoor environment. Furthermore, this facilitates subsequent accurate determination of whether the air conditioner indoor unit has entered the next stage of operation.

[0058] After obtaining the ambient temperature in step S206, step S208 can be executed to determine whether the ambient temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature. If the determination result in step S208 is no, that is, the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature, step S204 can be executed to control the four small guide plates to discharge air upward, the two vertical swing blades to swing at a first speed, the two fans to operate at a first wind speed, and the two heat exchangers to operate at maximum cooling capacity for a first preset duration. If the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature, it indicates that the ambient temperature is still high and the air conditioner indoor unit needs to continue operating in the rapid cooling stage. Therefore, step S204 can be executed to continue rapidly cooling the indoor environment where the air conditioner indoor unit is located.

[0059] If the result of step S208 is yes, meaning the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, step S210 is executed to control the four small guide plates to discharge air upward, the two vertical swing blades to swing at the second speed, the two fans to operate at the second wind speed, and the two heat exchangers to be turned off for the second preset duration. If the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, it indicates that the ambient temperature has been effectively lowered and the air conditioner indoor unit no longer needs to operate in the rapid cooling phase. Therefore, step S210 is executed to cause the air conditioner indoor unit to operate in the intelligent adjustment phase. The second speed is less than the first speed, and the second wind speed is less than the first wind speed.

[0060] Controlling all four small guide plates to discharge air upwards still prevents cold air from blowing directly onto the user. Both vertical blades swing at the second speed, which can actually be a medium speed. Both fans operate at the second speed, which can actually be a medium speed. Both heat exchangers are shut down. In other words, step S210 actually controls the air conditioner indoor unit to operate in the intelligent adjustment phase for a second preset duration. This allows the air conditioner indoor unit to only deliver air without cooling, ensuring user comfort while also saving energy and electricity.

[0061] Moreover, the second preset time length is greater than the first preset time length. In a specific embodiment, the first preset time length may be 3 minutes, and the second preset time length may be 20 minutes. That is to say, the air conditioner indoor unit runs in the rapid cooling stage for a shorter time, and runs in the intelligent adjustment stage for a longer time, and enters the intelligent adjustment stage as soon as possible after rapidly cooling the indoor environment. It should be noted that the specific values ​​of the above-mentioned first preset time length and the second preset time length are only for illustrative purposes, and are not limitations of the present invention. In some other embodiments, it can also be set to other values ​​according to actual conditions, but it is necessary to make the second preset time length greater than the first preset time length.

[0062] After step S210 makes the indoor unit of the air conditioner operate in the intelligent adjustment stage and last for the second preset time, step S212 can be executed to determine whether the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature. If the judgment result of step S212 is yes, that is, the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature, step S204 is executed to control the four small guide plates to discharge air upward, the two vertical swing blades to swing at the first speed, the two fans to operate at the first wind speed, and the two heat exchangers to operate at the maximum cooling capacity and last for the first preset time.

[0063] If the ambient temperature is greater than the preset temperature, it means that the ambient temperature is high at this time, and the air conditioner indoor unit is no longer suitable to continue operating in the intelligent adjustment stage. Instead, step S204 can be executed to allow the air conditioner to operate in the rapid cooling stage, quickly cooling the indoor environment where the air conditioner indoor unit is located, and satisfying the user's need to feel cool as soon as possible.

[0064] If the result of step S212 is negative, that is, the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, step S210 is executed to control all four small guide plates to discharge air upward, both vertical swing blades to swing at the second speed, both fans to operate at the second wind speed, and both heat exchangers to be turned off for the second preset duration. If the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset temperature, it indicates that the ambient temperature is maintained within a relatively low range. The air conditioner indoor unit does not need to switch to the rapid cooling stage. Instead, step S210 can be executed to cause the air conditioner indoor unit to continue operating in the intelligent adjustment stage, so that the air conditioner indoor unit only supplies air and does not cool.

[0065] The cooling control method for the air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment is well-suited for certain user groups, such as the elderly. Because the elderly have lower cooling needs, after a brief rapid cooling phase, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to a preset temperature, the air conditioner indoor unit can be operated in the intelligent adjustment phase for a longer period of time. This ensures user comfort while also achieving energy savings and effectively improving the level of intelligence.

[0066] In summary, the cooling control method of the air conditioner indoor unit of this embodiment is that the air conditioner indoor unit is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and an upper and lower double-layer air guide plate is provided at the air outlet 115 of the air conditioner indoor unit, and each layer of air guide plate includes two small guide plates arranged on the left and right, and the four small guide plates are configured to be controlled separately, and the vertical swing blades, fan, and heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit are divided into two sections on the left and the right corresponding to the two small guide plates on the left, and the left and right sections are configured to be controlled separately, so that multiple small guide plates, vertical swing blades, fans, and heat exchangers of the air conditioner indoor unit are controlled separately, so that they can match different usage scenarios and effectively improve the user experience.
