Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioning unit, its control method, and control equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, air conditioners have become an indispensable electrical appliance in daily life. However, in practice, air conditioners may blow air directly onto users, causing discomfort.

[0003] Current air conditioner anti-direct-blow solutions typically adjust the anti-direct-blow mode based on the body temperature at a certain moment. However, the obtained body temperature is not stable and accurate enough, making it difficult for air conditioner units to provide precise anti-direct-blow services. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner cabinet unit that provides precise anti-direct-blow function.

[0005] A further objective of this invention is to further improve the accuracy of the anti-direct-blow function of air conditioner cabinet units.

[0006] Specifically, the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioning unit, comprising:

[0007] After the air conditioner unit is turned on and runs in the initial operating mode for a first preset time, the human body temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner unit is located is periodically acquired.

[0008] When the human body temperature is within the first temperature range for a second preset duration, the air conditioner unit is controlled to operate in the first anti-direct-blow mode.

[0009] When the human body temperature remains within the first temperature range for a third preset duration, the air conditioner is controlled to operate in the second anti-direct-blow mode, wherein the third preset duration is longer than the second preset duration, and the air volume per unit time of the air conditioner in the first anti-direct-blow mode is greater than the air volume per unit time in the second anti-direct-blow mode.

[0010] Optionally, the step of controlling the air conditioner unit to operate in a first anti-direct-blow mode includes:

[0011] The upper vertical guide plate of the air conditioner unit is opened to the first air outlet angle, the lower vertical guide plate is closed, and the horizontal sway blades are opened to the first air outlet position. The first air outlet angle is the maximum air outlet angle, and the first air outlet position corresponds to an upward air outlet direction.

[0012] Optionally, the step of controlling the air conditioner unit to operate in the second anti-direct-blow mode includes:

[0013] The upper and lower vertical guide plates of the air conditioner unit are closed, and the horizontal sway blades are opened to the second air outlet position, which corresponds to a horizontal air outlet direction.

[0014] Optionally, the method further includes: when the human body temperature is in the second temperature range for a fourth preset duration, controlling the air conditioner unit to operate in an initial operating mode, wherein each temperature in the second temperature range is greater than each temperature in the first temperature range.

[0015] Optionally, the fourth preset duration is equal to the first preset duration.

[0016] Optionally, the step of periodically acquiring the human body temperature of the environment where the air conditioner unit is located includes:

[0017] The human body temperature in the environment where the air conditioner cabinet is located is periodically acquired by the temperature detection device installed on the air conditioner cabinet.

[0018] Optionally, the first preset duration and the third preset duration are equal.

[0019] Optionally, the first temperature range is 36℃~36.5℃.

[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, a control device for an air conditioner cabinet unit is also provided, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, which, when executed by the processor, is used to implement the control method for the air conditioner cabinet unit as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0021] According to another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioning unit is also provided, which includes the control device of the air conditioning unit as described above.

[0022] In the method provided by this invention, after the air conditioner unit is turned on and operates in its initial operating mode for a first preset time, the ambient human body temperature of the environment where the air conditioner unit is located is periodically acquired. When the human body temperature remains within a first temperature range for a second preset time, the air conditioner unit is controlled to operate in a first anti-direct-blow mode; when the human body temperature remains within the first temperature range for a third preset time, the air conditioner unit is controlled to operate in a second anti-direct-blow mode. The third preset time is longer than the second preset time, and the airflow rate per unit time in the first anti-direct-blow mode is greater than that in the second anti-direct-blow mode. Based on the technical solution provided by this invention, adjusting the air conditioner unit's operating mode according to the human body temperature over a continuous period of time provides a more precise anti-direct-blow service compared to adjusting it based on the human body temperature at a specific moment, thus improving the user experience.

[0023] Furthermore, when the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for a relatively short second preset duration, the present invention controls the air conditioner to operate in a first anti-direct-blow mode with a relatively high air volume per unit time; when the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for a relatively long third preset duration, the present invention controls the air conditioner to operate in a second anti-direct-blow mode with a relatively low air volume per unit time, thereby minimizing the impact of the air conditioner's airflow on the human body and improving the user experience.

[0024] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.

[0033] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0034] It should be noted that, without conflict, the technical features of the embodiments and optional embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an air conditioner cabinet unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a partial disassembly diagram of an air conditioner unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 Compared to the air conditioner cabinet unit shown Figure 1 The air conditioner unit shown has had its upper and lower vertical guide plates removed so that the 400 swivel blades can be seen more clearly.

[0036] See Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the air conditioner unit 10 can be cylindrical in shape. It has two air outlets, one at the top and one at the bottom. Each outlet contains multiple upper vertical guide plates 200 and multiple lower vertical guide plates 300. Optionally, the upper outlet has three upper vertical guide plates 200, and the lower outlet has three lower vertical guide plates 300. The guide plates have multiple preset air outlet angles, each corresponding to a different air volume and left / right airflow direction. The sides of the guide plates are curved, allowing air to flow out through the gaps between them when they are closed. Additionally, multiple horizontal sway blades 400 are located within the air outlets. These blades correspond to multiple preset air outlet positions, each corresponding to a different air volume and vertical / upper airflow direction. By adjusting the angles of the upper and lower guide plates and the positions of the horizontal sway blades 400, the air volume and direction of the air outlets can be controlled.

[0037] In addition, a temperature detection device (not shown in the figure) for detecting the human body temperature in the environment can be installed on the air conditioner unit 10. The temperature detection device can be a temperature sensor or an infrared thermometer.

[0038] Figure 3 This is a schematic structural block diagram of an air conditioner cabinet unit's air outlet control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 3As shown, the air conditioner cabinet unit 10 proposed in this invention also includes a control device 100, which includes a memory 120 and a processor 110. The memory 120 stores a computer program 121. When the computer program 121 is executed by the processor 110, it is used to implement the control method of the air conditioner cabinet unit in any of the following embodiments.

[0039] The control device 100 of the air conditioner unit can be integrated into the air conditioner unit 10, located inside the unit and connected to its own controller via data connection, working in conjunction with it. Alternatively, the control device 100 can be located outside the unit, such as a server or cloud-based network device, connected to the unit via data connection. It can also be placed in or around the user's environment, with connection methods including, but not limited to, wireless transmission, infrared transmission, and ultrasonic transmission.

[0040] Figure 4 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioner cabinet unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 4 As shown, the method may include at least steps S402-S406.

[0041] Step S402: After the air conditioner unit 10 is turned on and runs in the initial operation mode for a first preset time, the human body temperature of the environment where the air conditioner unit 10 is located is periodically acquired.

[0042] The first preset duration can be selected as 20 minutes.

[0043] The option to periodically obtain the human body temperature of the environment where the air conditioner unit 10 is located can be selected to obtain the human body temperature of the air conditioner unit 10 every five minutes.

[0044] The human body temperature obtained can be a pre-set human body temperature.

[0045] It should be noted that the first preset duration and the cycle duration can be set according to the actual situation, and the present invention does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0046] Step S404: When the human body temperature is within the first temperature range for a second preset time, control the air conditioner unit 10 to operate in the first anti-direct-blow mode.

[0047] The first temperature range can be selected as 36℃~36.5℃. A human body temperature within this range indicates a relatively low human body temperature.

[0048] The second preset duration can be selected as 10 minutes.

[0049] It should be noted that the first temperature range and the second preset duration can be set according to the actual situation, and the present invention does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0050] Step S406: When the human body temperature is within the first temperature range for a third preset duration, control the air conditioner unit 10 to operate in the second anti-direct-blow mode, wherein the third preset duration is longer than the second preset duration, and the air volume per unit time of the air conditioner unit 10 in the first anti-direct-blow mode is greater than the air volume per unit time in the second anti-direct-blow mode.

[0051] The third preset duration can be set to 20 minutes.

[0052] The first preset duration can be selected and is equal to the third preset duration.

[0053] It should be noted that the third preset duration can be set according to the actual situation, and the present invention does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, after the air conditioner unit 10 is turned on and runs in the initial operating mode for a first preset time, it begins to periodically acquire the human body temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner unit 10 is located. When the human body temperature is within the first temperature range for a second preset time, the air conditioner unit 10 is controlled to operate in the first anti-direct-blow mode; when the human body temperature is within the first temperature range for a third preset time, the air conditioner unit 10 is controlled to operate in the second anti-direct-blow mode. The third preset time is longer than the second preset time, and the air volume per unit time of the air conditioner unit 10 in the first anti-direct-blow mode is greater than the air volume per unit time in the second anti-direct-blow mode. Based on the technical solution provided by this invention, adjusting the air conditioner's operating mode according to the continuous duration of human body temperature, compared to adjusting the air conditioner based on the human body temperature at a certain moment, allows the air conditioner to provide precise anti-direct-blow service, improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the continuous duration of human body temperature within the first temperature range is a relatively short second preset duration, the air conditioner is controlled to operate in a first anti-direct-blow mode with a relatively high airflow per unit time; when the continuous duration of human body temperature within the first temperature range is a relatively long third preset duration, the air conditioner is controlled to operate in a second anti-direct-blow mode with a relatively low airflow per unit time. This minimizes the impact of the air conditioner's airflow on the human body, further improving the user experience.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the periodic acquisition of the human body temperature of the environment where the air conditioner cabinet 10 is located mentioned in step S402 includes: periodically acquiring the human body temperature of the environment where the air conditioner cabinet 10 is located, detected by the temperature detection device installed on the air conditioner cabinet 10.

[0056] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the angle of the vertical guide plate of an air conditioner unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 5As shown, when the vertical guide plate is in state 51, the vertical guide plate is closed. When the vertical guide plate is in state 52, the vertical guide plate is opened to the first air outlet angle. The first air outlet angle is the maximum air outlet angle. The vertical guide plate at the first air outlet angle is perpendicular to the vertical guide plate in the closed state.

[0057] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the position of the oscillating blades 400 of an air conditioner unit 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 6 As shown, when the sway blade 400 is in position 61, the sway blade 400 is closed; when the sway blade 400 is in position 62, it opens to the first air outlet position and discharges air upwards; when the sway blade 400 is in position 63, it opens to the second air outlet position and discharges air horizontally.

[0058] See Figure 5 , 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the above step S404 includes: controlling the upper vertical guide plate 200 of the air conditioner cabinet 10 to open to the first air outlet angle, the lower vertical guide plate 300 to close, and the horizontal sway blade 400 to open to the first air outlet position, wherein the first air outlet angle is the maximum air outlet angle, and the first air outlet position corresponds to the air outlet direction being upward.

[0059] The lower vertical guide plate 300 is closed to prevent direct airflow onto the user. The upper vertical guide plate 200 is opened to the first air outlet angle (maximum air outlet angle) to ensure the cooling effect of the air conditioner unit 10. The horizontal sway blades 400 are opened to the first air outlet position, which corresponds to an upward airflow direction, also preventing direct airflow onto the user. Overall, this system ensures cooling effect while preventing direct airflow.

[0060] See Figure 5 , 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control of the air conditioner cabinet 10 to operate in the second anti-direct-blow mode mentioned in step S406 above includes: controlling the upper vertical guide plate 200 and the lower vertical guide plate 300 of the air conditioner cabinet 10 to close, and the horizontal sway blade 400 to open to the second air outlet position, the second air outlet position corresponding to the horizontal air outlet direction.

[0061] For individuals with poor physical condition, their body temperature may remain within the first temperature range for a third preset period of time. In this case, the upper vertical guide plate 200 and the lower vertical guide plate 300 are closed, and the horizontal sway blade 400 is opened to a horizontal position, causing the air conditioner unit 10 to operate in the second anti-direct-blow mode. This allows air to flow out from the gaps between the vertical guide plates. Compared to the first anti-direct-blow mode, the air volume per unit time is less, but the cooling needs of the air conditioner unit can still be guaranteed to a certain extent. This achieves precise anti-direct-blow by the air conditioner unit and improves the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: when the human body temperature is in the second temperature range for a fourth preset time, controlling the air conditioner cabinet 10 to operate in the initial operating mode, wherein each temperature in the second temperature range is greater than each temperature in the first temperature range.

[0063] The second temperature range can be selected as 36.5℃~37℃.

[0064] The fourth preset duration can be the same as the first preset duration.

[0065] The second temperature range corresponds to the user's comfortable temperature. Therefore, when the air conditioner unit 10 is in the second temperature range for a fourth preset time, the air conditioner unit 10 is controlled to operate in the initial operating mode.

[0066] This invention proposes an air conditioner unit 10 and its control method and control device. In the proposed method, after the air conditioner unit 10 is turned on and operates in its initial operating mode for a first preset time, the ambient human body temperature of the environment surrounding the air conditioner unit 10 is periodically acquired. When the human body temperature remains within a first temperature range for a second preset time, the air conditioner unit 10 is controlled to operate in a first anti-direct-blow mode; when the human body temperature remains within the first temperature range for a third preset time, the air conditioner unit 10 is controlled to operate in a second anti-direct-blow mode. The third preset time is longer than the second preset time, and the airflow rate per unit time of the air conditioner unit 10 in the first anti-direct-blow mode is greater than that in the second anti-direct-blow mode. Based on the technical solution provided by this invention, adjusting the air conditioner unit's operating mode according to the human body temperature over a continuous period, compared to adjusting the air conditioner unit 10 according to the human body temperature at a specific moment, enables the air conditioner unit 10 to provide precise anti-direct-blow service, improving the user experience.

[0067] Furthermore, when the duration of human body temperature in the first temperature range is a relatively short second preset duration, the present invention controls the air conditioner unit 10 to operate in a first anti-direct-blow mode with a relatively high air volume per unit time; when the duration of human body temperature in the first temperature range is a relatively long third preset duration, the present invention controls the air conditioner unit 10 to operate in a second anti-direct-blow mode with a relatively low air volume per unit time, thereby minimizing the impact of air conditioner airflow on the human body and improving user experience.

[0068] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although numerous exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the scope of the present invention should be understood and construed as covering all such other variations or modifications.
