[0047] The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will recognize that, with technological advancements and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

It should be understood that such terms are interchangeable where appropriate; this is merely a way of distinguishing objects with the same attributes in the embodiments of this application.

[0049] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning zone control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an air conditioning zone control method provided in this application embodiment may include steps S101 to S103, which are described in detail below.

[0050] S101, the target area is divided into multiple zones based on the degree of population concentration.

[0051] In this embodiment of the application, the target area is the area to be controlled by air conditioning zoning. By analyzing the degree of personnel gathering in the target area, the target area can be divided into multiple zones, and the degree of personnel gathering in two adjacent zones is different.

[0052] In one possible implementation, dynamic partitioning can be achieved by combining an indoor positioning system with a clustering algorithm. See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a partial flowchart illustrating an air conditioning zone control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, an air conditioning zoning control method is provided, wherein step S101 "dividing the target area into multiple zones according to the degree of personnel gathering" may include steps S201 to S202, which are described in detail below.

[0053] S201, Track the location of people and objects within the target area.

[0054] In this embodiment of the application, the location of different people and objects in the target area can be tracked in real time through an indoor positioning system. For example, UWB (Ultra Wideband) positioning anchors can be deployed in the target area. The UWB positioning anchors form a triangular grid to accurately track the location of different people and objects with an accuracy of ±10cm.

[0055] S202, cluster the locations of the tracked personnel to determine multiple partitions.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the location of people within the target area can be represented using two-dimensional coordinates (such as latitude and longitude or planar coordinates). For example, within the target area... The set of locations of a person object can be represented as The process involves data cleaning to remove invalid points (such as coordinates outside the region) and duplicate data. Further, algorithms such as DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) are used to cluster and generate multiple sub-regions, each of which serves as a partition. It's worth noting that DBSCAN is a density-based spatial clustering algorithm, particularly suitable for handling densely packed regions with irregular shapes.

[0057] S102, obtain the thermal resistance value of the clothing of the personnel in each zone, and use the thermal resistance value of the clothing to determine the thermal comfort of each zone.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, for each zone, the thermal resistance value of the clothing of different people in the zone can be obtained by clothing recognition and thermal resistance calculation, and then the thermal resistance value of the clothing can be introduced into the calculation of thermal comfort to obtain the thermal comfort of the zone.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the thermal resistance of clothing can be determined by identifying the type of clothing. See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is another schematic flowchart illustrating an air conditioning zone control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, an air conditioning zone control method is provided, wherein step S102, "obtaining the thermal resistance value of the clothing of the person in each zone", may include steps S301 to S303, which are described in detail below.

[0060] S301, Obtain the clothing image of the personnel object in each partition.

[0061] In this embodiment, thermal imaging cameras (typically 2.2 to 2.5 meters high) can be deployed within the target area. After dividing the target area into multiple zones, the corresponding thermal imaging camera can be determined based on the location of each zone. For each zone, thermal imaging cameras can capture thermal images of different individuals within that zone. These thermal images must at least include the upper body of the individual, and are used as the clothing image of that individual.

[0062] S302, determine the clothing type of the person by recognizing clothing features in the clothing image.

[0063] In this embodiment of the application, for each partition, after obtaining the clothing images of different member objects within the partition, the clothing features in the clothing images of different member objects can be further identified to determine the clothing type of different member objects. For example, the clothing type may include tank tops, short-sleeved T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, thin sweaters, thick coats, down jackets, etc. The clothing features in the clothing images are identified by pre-training a classification model to determine the service type.

[0064] S303, determine the thermal resistance value of the clothing of the person or group according to the type of clothing.

[0065] In this embodiment of the application, for each partition, after obtaining the clothing type of different personnel objects within it, the service thermal resistance value corresponding to that service type can be queried from the clothing thermal resistance value configuration table. See Table 1, which illustrates a clothing thermal resistance value configuration table, recording the clothing thermal resistance values ​​corresponding to different service types.

[0066] Table 1

[0067]

[0068] In one possible implementation, the thermal resistance value of clothing can be corrected using the body surface temperature to ensure the accuracy of the clothing's thermal resistance value. In this regard, an embodiment of this application provides an air conditioning zone control method, wherein step S102, "obtaining the thermal resistance value of clothing for personnel within each zone," may further include the following steps:

[0069] Obtain the body surface temperature of the personnel within each partition; use the body surface temperature to correct the thermal resistance value of the clothing of the personnel.

[0070] In this embodiment, the thermal imaging camera can monitor body surface temperature while generating thermal images. Therefore, for each zone, the thermal imaging camera can simultaneously obtain clothing images and body surface temperatures of different individuals. The temperature difference between body surface temperature and the standard comfort temperature of the human body directly affects the thermal resistance of clothing. Therefore, the body surface temperature of different individuals can be used to correct the thermal resistance value of their clothing. Specifically, the thermal resistance value of clothing can be corrected according to the following formula (1):

[0071] (1)

[0072] in, This indicates the corrected thermal resistance value of the garment. Indicates the thermal resistance value of clothing. This represents the thermal sensitivity coefficient (typically taken as 0.035). This indicates body surface temperature; 36.5 is the standard comfortable temperature for the human body.

[0073] In one possible implementation, environmental parameters (such as temperature and humidity) can be incorporated when calculating thermal comfort in different zones to accurately evaluate thermal comfort. See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is another schematic flowchart illustrating an air conditioning zone control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown in the embodiment of this application, an air conditioning zone control method is provided, wherein step S102, "determining the thermal comfort of each zone using the thermal resistance value of clothing", may include steps S401 to S403, which are described in detail below.

[0074] S401, using the thermal resistance of clothing to determine the average thermal resistance of clothing for people in each zone.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, for each partition, the average thermal resistance value of the clothing of all personnel objects in the partition can be calculated to determine the average thermal resistance value of the clothing of personnel objects in the partition.

[0076] S402, retrieves the environment parameters for each partition.

[0077] In this embodiment, a temperature and humidity sensor array can be deployed within the target area (deployment should avoid direct airflow from air conditioners). After dividing the target area into multiple zones, the corresponding temperature and humidity sensor array can be determined based on the location of each zone. For each zone, the environmental parameters, including temperature and humidity, can be detected using the temperature and humidity sensor array.

[0078] S403 determines the thermal comfort of each zone based on the average thermal resistance of the garment and environmental parameters.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, for each zone, the average clothing thermal resistance value and environmental parameters can be incorporated into the calculation of thermal comfort. Specifically, the thermal comfort of the zone can be calculated according to the following formula (2):

[0080] (2)

[0081] in, This represents the PMV index, used to indicate thermal comfort. Indicates the temperature coefficient; This refers to temperature in the environmental parameters; Indicates the temperature reference value; Indicates the humidity coefficient; This refers to humidity in environmental parameters; Indicates the humidity reference value; Indicates the calorific value coefficient of clothing; This represents the average thermal resistance of the garment. Indicates metabolic coefficient; Indicates metabolic rate; This represents the metabolic baseline value. It should be noted that... , , , , , , , The settings can be adjusted according to the actual scenario; this application does not limit the specific implementation details. It is related to the state of most member objects within the target area; for example, the value is 100 when sitting, 120 when standing, and 150 when walking slowly. Additionally... The value varies depending on the application scenario of the target area; for example, it is 90 for an office setting, 80 for a residential bedroom setting, and 120 for a shopping mall showroom setting. Therefore, the PMV index integrates multiple factors such as temperature, humidity, clothing thermal resistance, and human metabolism to directly quantify human thermal comfort.

[0082] S103 controls the air conditioning operation of each zone based on thermal comfort.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, after obtaining the thermal comfort level of different zones, the air conditioning control strategy of the zone can be determined according to the thermal comfort level, so as to control the operation of the corresponding air conditioner until the thermal comfort level meets the requirements and the control ends.

[0084] In one possible implementation, different thermal comfort zones can be defined, and air conditioning control strategies can be configured for each zone to ensure that the thermal comfort level meets the requirements. See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is another schematic flowchart illustrating an air conditioning zone control method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment of this application, an air conditioning zone control method is provided, wherein step S103 "controlling the air conditioning operation of each zone based on thermal comfort" may include steps S501 to S502, which are described in detail below.

[0085] S501 determines the control parameters for each zone based on the thermal comfort range to which the thermal comfort level belongs.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, different thermal comfort intervals can be pre-divided. For example, the range of thermal comfort values ​​can be defined as [-3, +3], and the thermal comfort intervals can include [-3, -2), [-2, -1), [-1, -0.5), [-0.5, +0.5), [+0.5, +1), [+1, +2), [+2, +3].

[0087] For each zone, its thermal comfort range can be determined based on the zone's thermal comfort level. Then, the corresponding control parameters for that thermal comfort range can be obtained. These control parameters include at least one of the following: damper operation parameters, temperature compensation parameters, and airflow adjustment parameters. See Table 2, which illustrates a control parameter configuration table recording the control parameters corresponding to different thermal comfort ranges. These control parameters include damper operation parameters, temperature compensation parameters, and airflow adjustment parameters.

[0088] Table 2

[0089]

[0090] S502 controls the operation of the air conditioning in each zone according to the control parameters.

[0091] In this embodiment, after obtaining the control parameters for each zone, the corresponding air conditioner's damper operation, temperature compensation, and fan speed adjustment can be controlled according to these parameters. This ensures that thermal comfort is best controlled within the range of [-0.5, +0.5), and the control parameters are further adjusted if the deviation is large.

[0092] Taking a 200-square-meter office area as an example, in order to implement the air conditioning zone control method provided in this application embodiment, 6 UWB positioning anchor points can be installed, 3 thermal imaging cameras can be deployed, 20 temperature and humidity sensor arrays can be deployed, and 8 air valves (corresponding to 8 air conditioning branches) can be installed.

[0093] In one possible implementation, if an air conditioner corresponds to two zones simultaneously, the zone with a higher concentration of people can be prioritized for control to better serve the needs of more people. To this end, this application provides an air conditioning zone control method, wherein step S502, "controlling the operation of the air conditioner in each zone according to control parameters," may include the following steps:

[0094] When the target air conditioner corresponds to two zones, the operation of the target air conditioner is controlled according to the control parameters of the zone with a higher degree of personnel gathering.

[0095] In this embodiment, it is assumed that partition 1 and partition 2 are close in location and within the same air conditioning management area. At this time, it can be determined which partition has a higher degree of personnel gathering. Assuming that the degree of personnel gathering in partition 1 is greater than that in partition 2, after determining the control parameters corresponding to partition 1 based on the thermal comfort of partition 1, the air conditioning can be controlled according to the control parameters of partition 1.

[0096] Of course, in practical applications, if a certain area is an uninhabited area, that is, the degree of human gathering is less than the corresponding threshold, the previous control parameters can be maintained directly to reduce the energy consumption of the uninhabited area.

[0097] In practical applications, the control effect can be verified through a temperature and humidity sensor array, and relevant data of this control can be uploaded at certain time intervals, such as the degree of personnel gathering, temperature and humidity of the zone, control parameters, etc.

[0098] Based on the above description, the air conditioning zone control method provided in this application divides the room into zones according to the degree of human gathering, thereby dynamically adapting to changes in the distribution of people indoors. By controlling the operation of the zone air conditioning according to the thermal comfort of the zone, the comfort of the environment within the zone can be guaranteed, avoiding excessively high or low temperatures, thereby reducing energy waste and local temperature imbalances.
