Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning, and more particularly to an air conditioner and its dust control method, storage medium and product. Background Technology

[0002] During air conditioner operation, airflow enters the unit through the air inlet, exchanges heat through the heat exchanger, and is then blown out through the air outlet, thus achieving heat exchange. The air inlet is typically located at the top of the unit, which makes the heat exchanger prone to dust accumulation. Furthermore, in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, bacteria can easily grow on the heat exchanger, causing the airflow from the outlet to have a musty smell, affecting the user experience and health.

[0003] In related technologies, to reduce dust entering the air conditioner through the air inlet, an air inlet baffle assembly is often installed at the air inlet. When the air conditioner is idle, the air inlet baffle assembly is closed to prevent dust from entering the air conditioner through the air inlet; when the air conditioner is working, the air inlet baffle assembly is open to expose the air inlet. However, while the closed air inlet prevents dust from entering the air conditioner when the air conditioner is idle, dust accumulates on the air inlet baffle assembly. When the air conditioner is turned on, the airflow from the air inlet blows the dust and other foreign objects attached to the surface of the air inlet baffle assembly into the air conditioner. In other words, when the air inlet baffle assembly is open, the dust falls back into the air conditioner, failing to fundamentally prevent dust from entering the air conditioner.

[0050] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0052] This application provides an air conditioner for regulating the temperature and humidity of the environment. The air conditioner can be a cooling-only unit or a cooling and heating unit, and can be a wall-mounted, floor-standing, or window unit, etc. This application does not specifically limit the type. It should be noted that the air conditioner can be an integrated air conditioning structure or a separate air conditioning structure. A separate air conditioning structure includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, while an integrated air conditioning structure integrates all system components into a single casing.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, the air conditioner includes: an air conditioner body and a suspension plate assembly. The suspension plate assembly is used to cooperate with the air inlet on the air conditioner body to close or open the air inlet. Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner body includes a housing 100 and a first main control board (not shown) located on the housing 100. The housing has an air inlet 101. The air conditioner body also includes a magnetic force generating device 200 disposed at the air inlet 101, and the magnetic force generating device 200 is electrically connected to the first main control board. The suspension plate assembly includes a suspension plate 400, a second main control board (not shown) disposed on the suspension plate 400, and a magnetic element 600. The first main control board and the second main control board are communicatively connected. The magnetic element 600 on the suspension plate 400 is disposed opposite to the magnetic force generating device 200. The first main control board is used to control the power-on state of the magnetic force generating device 200, so that the suspension plate assembly covers the air inlet 101 or suspends above the air inlet 101.

[0054] For example, if the first main control board controls the magnetic force generating device 200 to be powered on, the magnetic force generating device 200 can generate a repulsive force with the magnetic element 600, causing the suspension plate assembly to be suspended at a set height above the air inlet 101, thereby opening the air inlet 101; if the first main control board controls the magnetic force generating device 200 to be powered off, the repulsive force generated by the magnetic force generating device 200 with the magnetic element 600 will gradually disappear, causing the suspension plate assembly to descend and cover the air inlet 101, thereby closing the air inlet 101.

[0055] Understandably, by introducing a suspension plate assembly that works in conjunction with the air inlet 101 of the air conditioner, and by controlling the power-on state of the magnetic force generating device 200, the suspension plate assembly can be switched between suspending above the air inlet 101 when the air conditioner is running and covering the air inlet 101 when the air conditioner is off. This can prevent dust and other foreign objects from entering the air conditioner when it is idle, and also prevent the airflow from the air inlet 101 after the air conditioner is started from bringing the blocked dust and other foreign objects into the air conditioner, thereby effectively improving the dustproof effect of the air conditioner.

[0056] Here, the magnetic force generating device 200 can be an electromagnet, that is, a device that generates electromagnetism based on energization. For example, a conductive coil matching its power is wound around the outside of an iron core. When energized, the conductive coil will have magnetism like a magnet. It should be noted that electromagnets have the characteristic of generating magnetism when energized and losing magnetism when de-energized. Based on the above characteristics of electromagnets, they can cooperate with the magnetic element 600 set on the suspension plate 400 to realize the displacement switching of the suspension plate assembly by using the effect of mutual repulsive magnetic force.

[0057] For example, there are multiple magnetic force generating devices 200, which are arranged at intervals along the outer periphery of the air inlet 101. The number of magnetic elements 600 disposed on the suspension plate 400 is the same as the number of magnetic force generating devices 200, and the two are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, based on multiple pairs of magnetic force generating devices 200 and magnetic elements 600, stable switching control between opening and closing the air inlet 101 of the suspension plate assembly can be achieved.

[0058] In one application example, such as Figure 1As shown, the air inlet 101 is located at the top of the housing 100 and is rectangular. The suspension plate 400 is a rectangular structure with an area larger than that of the air inlet 101. Four magnetic force generating devices 200 are arranged at the top of the housing 100 and at the four corners of the rectangle. When energized, the four magnetic force generating devices 200 can cooperate with the four magnetic elements 600 arranged opposite to each other on the suspension plate 400 to generate an upward force at the four corners of the suspension plate 400, thereby making the suspension plate 400 stably suspend above the air inlet 101 at a set height. For example, this set height can be controlled based on the magnetic force of the electromagnet, for example, it can be between 30mm and 50mm, thereby meeting the air intake requirements of the air inlet 101 when the air conditioner is working.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the suspension plate assembly also includes a light-emitting element 700 disposed on the suspension plate 400. The light-emitting element 700 is electrically connected to the second main control board, which is used to control the light-emitting state of the light-emitting element 700.

[0060] It should be noted that the light-emitting element 700 introduced in this application embodiment can achieve the auxiliary effect of nighttime lighting based on the suspension plate assembly, thereby enriching the functional design of the suspension plate assembly.

[0061] For example, the second main control board is used to receive indication information from the first main control board, and the second main control board controls the light emission state of the light-emitting element based on the indication information; wherein, the indication information is used to indicate the current operating state of the air conditioner, and the light emission state is partitioned based on one or more of the following: the light emission color of the light-emitting element, the number of light-emitting elements, and the light emission frequency of the light-emitting element.

[0062] For example, the light-emitting element 700 can be a ring-shaped light strip arranged circumferentially along the suspension plate 400, which can be used to create a variety of light-emitting states to enhance the human-computer interaction experience.

[0063] It should be noted that the light emission state in this application embodiment can be distinguished based on one of the above-mentioned light emission color, light emission quantity, and light emission frequency, or it can be distinguished based on a combination of the above-mentioned factors. For example, in one application example, if the second main control board determines that the air conditioner is in cooling operation based on the indication information, it controls the light emission element 700 to display a blue light; if it determines that the air conditioner is in heating operation, it controls the light emission element 700 to display a yellow light. In this way, the current operating status of the air conditioner can be indicated based on the light emission state of the light emission element 700 of the floating plate 400, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, the first main control board 300 includes a first processor 301 and a first wireless transceiver circuit 302, and the second main control board 500 includes a second processor 501 and a second wireless transceiver circuit 502; wherein, the first wireless transceiver circuit 302 is used to send first information from the first processor 301 to the second wireless transceiver circuit 502 and to receive second information from the second processor 501 and transmit the second information to the first processor 301, and the second wireless transceiver circuit 502 is used to send the second information from the second processor 501 to the first wireless transceiver circuit 302 and to receive the first information from the first processor 301 and transmit the first information to the second processor 501.

[0065] For example, both the first wireless transceiver circuit 302 and the second wireless transceiver circuit 502 employ infrared transceiver circuits. It should be noted that infrared transceiver circuits transmit information based on the characteristics of infrared light. The sender transmits infrared light signals through a transmitter, and the receiver receives these signals through a receiver, converting them into electrical signals for processing. In practical applications, commonly used infrared transmitters are infrared diodes, while infrared receivers are photoresistors or photodiodes that receive infrared light. In this embodiment, considering that the first wireless transceiver circuit 302 in the first main control board and the second wireless transceiver circuit 502 in the second main control board can meet the relative arrangement requirements, using infrared transceiver circuits can meet the requirements of communication reliability while saving costs.

[0066] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second main control board 500 also includes a voice recognition circuit 507 connected to the second processor 501. The second processor 501 is used to obtain the voice commands input by the user based on the voice recognition circuit 507, and send the obtained voice commands to the first processor 301 via the second wireless transceiver circuit 502.

[0067] For example, the voice recognition circuit 507 can collect the user's voice signal, and the second processor 501 can obtain the user's input voice command based on the voice signal. The voice command is then sent to the first wireless transceiver circuit 302 via the second wireless transceiver circuit 502, and then transmitted by the first wireless transceiver circuit 302 to the first processor 301. This enables user voice recognition and the transmission of the recognized voice command to the first processor 301 of the first main control board 300. This further enriches the functionality of the floating plate assembly; for example, it allows users to control the air conditioner via voice. The voice command may include, but is not limited to, the air conditioner's power-on and power-off commands.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, the first main control board 300 further includes a wireless charging transmitting circuit 303 connected to the first processor 301, and the second main control board 500 further includes a wireless charging receiving circuit 503 and a battery management circuit 504 connected to the second processor 501. The battery management circuit 504 is used to detect the power status of the battery supplying power to the second main control board 500. The second processor 501 is also used to generate charging control commands based on the power status and send the charging control commands to the first processor 301 via the second wireless transceiver circuit 502. The wireless charging transmitting circuit 303 is controlled by the first processor 301 based on the charging control commands. The wireless charging receiving circuit 503 is used to receive the electrical energy output by the wireless charging transmitting circuit 303 and store the electrical energy in the battery via the battery management circuit 504.

[0069] It should be noted that the battery management circuit 504 can detect the SOC (State of Charge) value of the battery and determine whether to generate a charging control command based on the SOC value and a set threshold. The charging control command includes a charging start command and a charging end command. For example, if it is determined that the detected SOC value is less than or equal to the lower limit setting value, the second processor 501 generates a charging start command and sends the charging start command to the first processor 301 via the second wireless transceiver circuit 502; if it is determined that the detected SOC value is greater than or equal to the upper limit setting value, the second processor 501 generates a charging end command and sends the charging end command to the first processor 301 via the second wireless transceiver circuit 502. The first processor 301 can start the wireless charging transmitting circuit 303 based on the charging start command, so that the wireless charging receiving circuit 503 receives the electrical energy output by the wireless charging transmitting circuit 303, and stores the electrical energy in the battery that supplies power to the second main control board 500 through the battery management circuit 504; the first processor 301 can also turn off the wireless charging transmitting circuit 303 based on the charging end command, thereby ending the wireless charging of the battery.

[0070] Here, the wireless charging transmitting circuit 303 and the wireless charging receiving circuit 503 can wirelessly transmit electrical energy based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The wireless charging transmitting circuit 303 can be a transmitting coil that emits electromagnetic signals to the outside world under the influence of electricity. The wireless charging receiving circuit 503 can be a receiving coil that receives the electromagnetic signals and converts them into current, thereby achieving wireless charging. In this way, non-contact charging of the battery supplying power to the second main control board on the floating platform can be achieved, meeting the power supply needs of the electrical components on the floating platform.

[0071] Understandably, the power supply status of the magnetic generator 200 can be switched and controlled by the first processor 301 based on the control commands of the air conditioner. For example, the first processor 301 can receive remote control commands from the air conditioner and determine that the air conditioner needs to be turned on, then supply power to the magnetic generator 200, thereby causing the suspension plate assembly to levitate above the air inlet and open the air inlet; or, if it determines that the air conditioner needs to be turned off, it can switch the power supply to the magnetic generator 200, thereby causing the suspension plate assembly to cover the air inlet and close the air inlet. In other examples, the first processor 301 can also receive voice commands from the user obtained by the second processor 501 and control the power supply status of the magnetic generator 200 based on these voice commands.

[0072] It is understandable that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second main control board 500 also includes a light emission control circuit 505 connected to the second processor 501. The second processor 501 can control the light emission state of the light emission element 700 based on the light emission control circuit 505, that is, control at least one of the light emission color, light emission quantity and light emission frequency of the light emission element 700.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second main control board 500 also includes a voice output circuit 506 connected to the second processor 501. The voice output circuit 506 can output the information acquired by the second processor 501 via voice, such as outputting the instruction information sent by the first processor 301 via voice and / or outputting the voice commands it recognizes via voice, thereby further enhancing the human-computer interaction experience.

[0074] In one application example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the suspension plate 400 includes a base plate 401 and a cover plate 402. A light-emitting element 700, which can be a ring-shaped light strip, is disposed along the outer periphery of the base plate 401. The upper surface of the base plate 401 is recessed to form a receiving cavity for accommodating the second main control board. For example, the aforementioned second processor 501, second wireless transceiver circuit 502, wireless charging receiver circuit 503, battery management circuit 504, voice output circuit 506, and voice recognition circuit 507 are arranged within this cavity. The cover plate 402 is snap-fitted to the base plate 401 or fixed with screws. A magnetic element 600 corresponding to the magnetic force generating device 200 is disposed on the cover plate 402. It should be noted that placing the magnetic element 600 on the cover plate 402 maintains a reasonable distance from the second main control board, thereby effectively reducing interference from the magnetic element 600 to the electronic components on the second main control board.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, this application also provides a dust control method based on the aforementioned air conditioner, the method comprising:

[0076] In response to the power-on command of the air conditioner, the first main control board controls the air conditioner to start running and controls the magnetic force generating device to be powered on, so that the suspension plate assembly is suspended above the air inlet.

[0077] It should be noted that when the air conditioner is in standby or off state, the magnetic force generating device is de-energized, and the suspension plate assembly covers the air inlet of the air conditioner, thereby preventing dust from falling into the air conditioner and avoiding dust accumulation on the heat exchanger, which would affect the air quality of the air conditioner.

[0078] Taking a split-type air conditioner as an example, the first main control board can be understood as the indoor main control board. Responding to the power-on command, the indoor main control board can start the indoor main fan and communicate with the outdoor main control board to turn on components such as the compressor. In this embodiment, the indoor main control board also needs to power on the magnetic generator. Based on the magnetic force generated by the magnetic generator, a repulsive force can be generated between the magnetic elements on the suspension plate, thereby causing the suspension plate assembly to suspend at a set height above the air inlet, opening the air inlet. At this time, since the incoming airflow is below the suspension plate assembly, it can effectively prevent the wind from bringing dust and other foreign objects blocked on the suspension plate into the air conditioner, thus effectively improving the air conditioner's dustproof effect.

[0079] Exemplarily, the method further includes:

[0080] In response to a shutdown command to turn off the air conditioner, the first main control board controls the air conditioner to stop running and controls the magnetic force generating device to be powered off, so that the suspension plate assembly covers the air inlet.

[0081] Understandably, in response to the shutdown command of the air conditioner, the first main control board not only controls the air conditioner to stop running, but also needs to control the magnetic force generator to cut off the power, so that the suspension plate assembly descends and covers the air inlet, thereby closing the air inlet and preventing external dust from entering the air conditioner when it is idle.

[0082] For example, if the second main control board includes a voice recognition circuit, the method further includes:

[0083] The second main control board obtains the power-on or power-off command based on the voice recognition circuit;

[0084] The second main control board sends the power-on command or the power-off command to the first main control board.

[0085] It should be noted that the voice recognition circuit can collect the user's voice signal. The second processor in the second main control board can obtain the user's input voice command based on the voice signal, and send the voice command to the first wireless transceiver circuit via the second wireless transceiver circuit. The first wireless transceiver circuit then transmits the command to the first processor on the first main control board. This enables user voice recognition and the transmission of the recognized voice command to the first processor on the first main control board. This further enriches the functionality of the floating plate assembly. For example, it allows users to control the air conditioner via voice. The voice command may include, but is not limited to, the air conditioner's power-on and power-off commands.

[0086] For example, if the suspension plate assembly further includes a light-emitting element disposed on the suspension plate, the method further includes:

[0087] The first main control board sends an instruction message to the second main control board;

[0088] The second main control board controls the light-emitting state of the light-emitting element based on the indication information;

[0089] The indication information is used to indicate the current operating status of the air conditioner, and the light emission status is divided based on one or more of the following: the light emission color of the light emission element, the number of light emission elements, and the light emission frequency of the light emission element.

[0090] In this way, based on the communication and interaction between the first main control board and the second main control board, the second main control board can control the switching of the light-emitting state of the light-emitting element of the floating plate, thereby indicating the current operating status of the air conditioner and improving the user experience.

[0091] For example, if the first main control board includes a wireless charging transmitting circuit, and the second main control board includes a wireless charging receiving circuit and a battery management circuit, the method further includes:

[0092] The second main control board sends a charging start command to the first main control board. The first main control board starts the wireless charging transmitting circuit based on the charging start command. The wireless charging receiving circuit receives the electrical energy output by the wireless charging transmitting circuit and stores the electrical energy in the battery that supplies power to the second main control board through the battery management circuit.

[0093] The second main control board sends a charging end command to the first main control board, and the first main control board shuts down the wireless charging transmission circuit based on the charging end command.

[0094] In this way, contactless charging of the battery that powers the second main control board on the suspension plate can be achieved, meeting the power supply needs of the electrical components on the suspension plate.

[0095] The following example illustrates the dust control method for air conditioners.

[0096] This application example uses a split-type air conditioner, where the suspended plate assembly is configured to work in conjunction with the air inlet of the indoor unit. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the floating board operation process in this application example includes:

[0097] Step 401: Run the power-on / off detection program based on the floating plate.

[0098] Here, the air conditioner's floating plate assembly can start the on / off detection program independently of the air conditioner's operating status. That is, regardless of whether the air conditioner is running, the floating plate assembly can detect and recognize the user's voice signal based on the on / off detection program, thereby improving the air conditioner's intelligent control level.

[0099] Step 402: Determine whether the user's power-on voice command has been detected. If not, return to step 401; if yes, proceed to step 403.

[0100] Here, the MCU on the floating board (i.e. the aforementioned second processor) can detect the voice signal input by the user based on the voice recognition circuit. If the user's power-on voice command is detected, step 403 is executed; otherwise, the standby state of the air conditioner is maintained, and the process returns to step 401.

[0101] Step 403: In response to the voice command, the ring light strip flashes once, and the floating board MCU sends the first command to the indoor main control MCU through the infrared transceiver module.

[0102] Here, the floating board MCU can respond to voice commands, drive the ring light strip to flash once through the light control circuit, and send the first command indicating power-on to the indoor main control MCU (i.e., the aforementioned first processor) through the infrared transceiver module (i.e., the aforementioned second wireless transceiver circuit).

[0103] Step 404: The indoor main control MCU turns on the indoor main fan, sends a second command to the outdoor main control board to turn on the compressor, and controls the magnetic generator to make the suspension plate rise smoothly.

[0104] Here, the indoor main control MCU turns on the indoor main fan, sends a second command to the outdoor main control board to turn on the compressor, and controls the magnetic generator (i.e. the aforementioned magnetic generating device) to power on, so that the suspension plate rises smoothly.

[0105] Step 405: The indoor main control MCU sends the current operating status of the air conditioner to the floating plate MCU through the infrared transceiver module.

[0106] Here, the indoor main control MCU sends indication information indicating the current operating status of the air conditioner to the floating plate MCU through the infrared transceiver module (i.e., the aforementioned first wireless transceiver circuit).

[0107] Step 406: The MCU on the floating plate indicates the working status of the air conditioner through a ring light strip.

[0108] Here, the floating board MCU determines the operating status of the air conditioner based on the received indication information and indicates it through a ring light strip. For example, in one example, when the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the ring light strip displays a blue light, and when the air conditioner is running in heating mode, the ring light strip displays a yellow light.

[0109] Step 407: Determine whether a user's voice command to shut down the device has been detected. If not, return to step 406; if yes, proceed to step 408.

[0110] Step 408: In response to the voice command, the ring light flashes once, and the floating board MCU sends a third command to the indoor main control MCU through the infrared transceiver module.

[0111] Understandably, if the floating board MCU detects a user's voice command to turn off the device based on the voice recognition circuit, it can respond to the voice command by driving the ring light strip to flash once through the light control circuit, and send a third command to the indoor main control MCU through the infrared transceiver module.

[0112] Step 409: The indoor main control MCU shuts down the indoor main fan, sends a fourth command to the outdoor main control board to shut down the compressor, and controls the magnetic generator to make the suspension plate descend smoothly.

[0113] Here, after receiving the third instruction to shut down, the indoor main control MCU can turn off the indoor unit fan and send the fourth instruction to shut down to the outdoor main control board. The outdoor main control board then shuts down the compressor and controls the magnetic generator to cut off the power, allowing the suspension plate to descend smoothly to close the air inlet.

[0114] For example, the operation process of the suspension plate may also include:

[0115] Step 410: Run the suspension plate battery charging program.

[0116] Here, the air conditioner's suspension plate assembly can also run a suspension plate battery charging program. It should be noted that this program is based on the aforementioned battery management circuit, radio charging transmitting circuit, and radio charging receiving circuit.

[0117] Step 411: Determine if the MCU of the floating board detects that the battery power is too low. If not, return to step 410; if yes, proceed to step 412.

[0118] Here, the MCU of the floating plate can detect whether the battery power is too low based on the battery management circuit (i.e., whether the detected SOC value is less than or equal to the lower limit setting value). If yes, then step 412 is executed; if no, then step 410 is returned to continue running the floating plate battery charging program.

[0119] Step 412: The floating board MCU sends a charging start command to the indoor main control MCU through the infrared transceiver module.

[0120] Step 413: The indoor main control MCU controls the wireless charging module to charge the battery of the suspension plate.

[0121] Here, the indoor main control MCU can start the wireless charging transmitting circuit based on the charging start command, so that the wireless charging receiving circuit receives the electrical energy output by the wireless charging transmitting circuit, and stores the electrical energy in the battery through the battery management circuit, thereby realizing the charging control of the battery.

[0122] Step 414: Determine if the MCU of the floating board is fully charged. If not, return to step 413; if yes, proceed to step 415.

[0123] Here, the floating board MCU can detect whether the battery is fully charged based on the battery management circuit (i.e., whether the detected SOC value is greater than or equal to the upper limit setting value). If yes, step 415 is executed; if no, step 413 is returned to continue charging the battery.

[0124] Step 415: The floating plate MCU sends a stop charging command to the indoor main control MCU.

[0125] Step 416: The indoor main control MCU shuts down the wireless charging module.

[0126] Here, the indoor main control MCU shuts down the wireless charging transmission circuit based on the stop charging command (i.e. the aforementioned charging end command), thereby ending the wireless charging of the battery.

[0127] In an exemplary embodiment, the first processor and the second processor of the air conditioner may be implemented by one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), DSPs, programmable logic devices (PLDs), complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), general-purpose processors, controllers, microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors, or other electronic components to perform the aforementioned method.
