Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning control technology, specifically to an air conditioning control method, air conditioning equipment, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] Current air conditioning systems primarily employ temperature difference feedback-based control strategies, such as linear control and PID control, to regulate indoor thermal comfort. These methods adjust the air conditioner's operation by calculating the difference between the set temperature and the ambient indoor temperature. Their control logic is relatively mechanical and fails to comprehensively consider the combined impact of various factors on indoor thermal comfort. For example, in scenarios where multiple people are present and engaging in different activities, individual perceptions of thermal comfort differ significantly. This means that the required indoor thermal comfort environment cannot be met solely through temperature difference feedback control strategies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air conditioning control method that can satisfy the thermal comfort needs of diverse activities. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this application proposes an air conditioning control method, air conditioning equipment, and a computer-readable storage medium, aiming to resolve the problems described above.

[0005] The scenario mode includes a sleep scenario mode. In the sleep scenario mode, the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort include indoor temperature, number of people, and activity level. The steps of controlling at least two types of sensors to operate based on the scenario mode to obtain the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort in the scenario mode include: in response to the scenario mode being configured as sleep scenario mode, controlling the temperature sensor of the air conditioner to operate to obtain the indoor temperature of the space where the air conditioner is located; and controlling the millimeter-wave radar sensor of the air conditioner to operate to obtain the number of people and activity level in the space where the air conditioner is located.
[0006] The scenario modes include a sleep scenario mode. In the sleep scenario mode, the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort include indoor temperature, number of people, and activity level. The correction parameters include the air conditioning correction temperature. The steps for calculating the correction parameters based on the environmental parameters and their corresponding preset weights include: calculating the number of people temperature correction value based on the number of people and a preset first correction range; calculating the indoor temperature correction value based on the indoor temperature and a preset second correction range; calculating the activity level temperature correction value based on the activity level and a preset third correction range; and calculating the air conditioning correction temperature based on the number of people temperature correction value, indoor temperature correction value, activity level temperature correction value, and their corresponding preset weights.

[0008] The steps for adjusting the air conditioning equipment based on the correction parameters include: obtaining the control mechanism corresponding to the current scene mode; and adjusting the air conditioning equipment based on the control mechanism and the correction parameters.
[0009] When the scene mode is sleep scene mode, the control mechanism includes a delayed response mechanism, and the correction parameter includes the air conditioner correction temperature. The steps for adjusting the air conditioner based on the control mechanism and correction parameters include: adjusting the current temperature of the air conditioner based on the air conditioner correction temperature when the air conditioner correction temperature changes and the duration of the change is greater than or equal to a preset time; and not adjusting the current temperature of the air conditioner when the air conditioner correction temperature changes and the duration of the change is less than a preset time.

When the scene mode is rainy season scene mode, the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort include indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed, and outdoor humidity. When the scene mode is indoor sports scene mode or movie viewing mode, the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort include indoor temperature, indoor wind speed, and activity level. When the scene mode is multi-person meeting mode or multi-person meeting mode, the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort include indoor temperature, indoor wind speed, and number of people.
[0011] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide an air conditioning device, which includes multiple types of sensors and controllers, each type of sensor being connected to the controller, and the controller being used to execute any of the above-mentioned air conditioning control methods.
[0012] The sensors include temperature sensors, humidity sensors, millimeter-wave radar sensors, wind speed sensors, infrared sensors, sound recognition modules, and visual recognition modules.
[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is to provide a computer storage medium that stores program instructions internally, and the program instructions are executed by a processor to implement the air conditioner control method described above.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, the air conditioning control method of this application includes: acquiring the current scene mode of the air conditioning device; controlling at least two types of sensors to operate based on the scene mode to acquire environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort under the scene mode; calculating correction parameters for the air conditioning device based on the environmental parameters and corresponding preset weights; and adjusting the air conditioning device based on the correction parameters to improve the thermal comfort of the space where the air conditioning device is located. The air conditioning control method of this application constructs a multi-scene mode system, which can configure different weights for environmental parameters under different scene modes, and acquire correction parameters for the air conditioning device based on the configured weights and real-time collected environmental parameters, thereby adjusting the air conditioning device in real time and effectively meeting users' personalized needs for thermal comfort under diverse scene modes.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] Current air conditioning systems primarily employ temperature difference feedback-based control strategies, such as linear control and PID control, to regulate indoor thermal comfort. These methods adjust the air conditioner's operation by calculating the difference between the set temperature and the ambient indoor temperature. Their control logic is relatively mechanical and fails to comprehensively consider the combined impact of various factors on indoor thermal comfort. For example, in scenarios where multiple people are present and engaging in different activities, individual perceptions of thermal comfort differ significantly. This means that the required indoor thermal comfort environment cannot be met solely through temperature difference feedback control strategies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air conditioning control method that can satisfy the thermal comfort needs of diverse activities.
[0026] To address the aforementioned problems, this application first proposes a method for controlling an air conditioner; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the air conditioner control method provided in this application.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner control method of this embodiment specifically includes steps S101 to S104:
[0028] Step S101: Obtain the current scene mode of the air conditioning equipment.
[0029] In this embodiment, before adjusting the air conditioner temperature, it is necessary to configure the current scene mode of the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the scene mode of the air conditioner is preset and stored in advance. The air conditioner can automatically select a scene mode suitable for its current environment, or it can operate based on a scene mode set by the user; neither is limited here.
[0030] Step S102: Control at least two types of sensors to operate based on the scene mode in order to obtain environmental parameters that affect thermal comfort under the scene mode.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the air conditioning device operates in a user-configured scene mode or an automatically selected scene mode, the device automatically controls at least two types of sensors corresponding to the scene mode to operate, thereby acquiring environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort under that scene mode. These environmental parameters may include the number of people, indoor temperature, activity level, outdoor temperature, indoor humidity, indoor wind speed, and body temperature. Different scene modes acquire different environmental parameters.
[0032] Step S103: Calculate the correction parameters of the air conditioning equipment based on the environmental parameters and the corresponding preset weights.
[0033] Once the environmental parameters corresponding to the scene mode are obtained, the air conditioning device can calculate the correction parameters of the air conditioning device based on the preset weights of the scene mode and the obtained environmental parameters. The correction parameters may include the air conditioning correction temperature, the air conditioning correction fan speed, and the air conditioning correction humidity.
[0034] Step S104: Adjust the air conditioning equipment based on the correction parameters to improve the thermal comfort of the space where the air conditioning equipment is located.
[0035] In this embodiment, thermal comfort refers to a person's subjective state of satisfaction with the surrounding thermal environment, reflecting the thermal balance between the human body and its surrounding environment. Thermal comfort is a subjective feeling resulting from the combined effects of various environmental and personal factors; there is no absolute comfortable temperature. Thermal comfort is primarily influenced by the following six factors: temperature, mean radiant temperature, air velocity, air humidity, human metabolic rate, and clothing thermal resistance. Since users have different thermal comfort needs during different activities, this application requires adjusting the air conditioning equipment based on different scenario modes to effectively meet users' personalized thermal comfort requirements in diverse scenarios. Correction parameters may include corrected air conditioning temperature, corrected air conditioning fan speed, and corrected air conditioning humidity. In this embodiment, the temperature, fan speed, and humidity of the air conditioning equipment can be adjusted based on the corrected air conditioning temperature, corrected air conditioning fan speed, and corrected air conditioning humidity, respectively.
[0036] In this embodiment, after obtaining the current correction parameters of the air conditioning equipment, a control mechanism corresponding to the current scene mode can also be obtained. Based on the control mechanism and the correction parameters, the air conditioning equipment is adjusted to improve the thermal comfort of the space where the air conditioning equipment is located.
[0037] Unlike existing technologies, the air conditioning control method of this application includes: acquiring the current scene mode of the air conditioning device; controlling at least two types of sensors to operate based on the scene mode to acquire environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort under the scene mode; calculating correction parameters for the air conditioning device based on the environmental parameters and corresponding preset weights; and adjusting the air conditioning device based on the correction parameters to improve the thermal comfort of the space where the air conditioning device is located. The air conditioning control method of this application constructs a multi-scene mode system, which can configure different weights for environmental parameters under different scene modes, and acquire correction parameters for the air conditioning device based on the configured weights and real-time collected environmental parameters, thereby adjusting the air conditioning device in real time and effectively meeting users' personalized needs for thermal comfort under diverse scene modes.
[0038] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a specific embodiment of step S102. In this embodiment, the scene mode includes a sleep scene mode. In the sleep scene mode, environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort include indoor temperature, number of people, and activity level. Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment can be achieved through, as follows Figure 2 The steps shown implement step S102, specifically including steps S201 to S202:
[0039] Step S201: In response to the air conditioning device being configured with a sleep scene mode, control the temperature sensor of the air conditioning device to work and obtain the indoor temperature of the space where the air conditioning device is located.
[0040] In this embodiment, the scenario mode is set to sleep mode. When the air conditioning device is configured to sleep mode, the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort are indoor temperature, number of people, and activity level. Activity level refers to the amount of human physical activity.
[0041] When an air conditioner operates in sleep mode, it needs to acquire three environmental parameters: indoor temperature, number of people, and activity level, to adjust the air conditioner to meet the thermal comfort requirements of sleep mode. Specifically, the indoor temperature parameter can be obtained from the air conditioner's temperature sensor.
[0042] Step S202: Control the millimeter-wave radar sensor of the air conditioning equipment to operate, so as to obtain the number of people and their activity levels in the space where the air conditioning equipment is located.
[0043] When the air conditioning unit is operating in sleep mode, the number of people and their activity levels in the environmental parameters can be obtained using the millimeter-wave radar sensor of the air conditioning unit. In other embodiments, the number of people can also be obtained using sensors such as infrared sensors, sound recognition modules, or visual recognition modules, and this is not limited to these methods.
[0044] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a specific embodiment of step S103. In this embodiment, the scene mode includes a sleep scene mode. In the sleep scene mode, environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort include indoor temperature, number of people, and activity level; the correction parameters mentioned above include the air conditioning correction temperature. Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment can be achieved through, as follows Figure 3 The steps shown in step S103 include steps S301 to S304:
[0045] Step S301: Calculate the personnel number temperature correction value based on the number of personnel and the preset first correction range.
[0046] In this embodiment, the scenario mode is set to sleep mode. When the air conditioning device is configured to sleep mode, the environmental parameters affecting thermal comfort are indoor temperature, number of people, and activity level. The correction parameter includes the air conditioning correction temperature. That is, in this embodiment, the air conditioning device will comprehensively consider the influence of these three environmental parameters when adjusting the thermal comfort of the space.
[0047] In the sleep scenario mode, the main factor affecting thermal comfort is the temperature of the air conditioning equipment. Therefore, in this embodiment, only the temperature of the air conditioning equipment needs to be adjusted in the sleep scenario mode. That is, in this embodiment, it is only necessary to calculate the corrected temperature of the air conditioning equipment based on the environmental parameters and the corresponding preset weights.
[0048] Before adjusting the air conditioning unit, in sleep mode, the unit will initially operate based on a baseline sleep comfort temperature set according to the current sleep mode. This baseline sleep comfort temperature can be preset or obtained based on user habits. In this embodiment, the baseline sleep comfort temperature can be set to 24–28°C.
[0049] In this embodiment, taking the sleep scene mode as an example, when calculating the corrected temperature of the air conditioning unit, it is first necessary to obtain the temperature correction value based on the number of people, that is, to calculate the temperature correction value based on the number of people and a preset first correction range. Since each additional person increases the heat load of the space where the air conditioner is located due to human metabolism, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit needs to be reduced by the first correction range. In this embodiment, the first correction range can be set to 0.1℃. For example, for each additional or removed person, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit decreases or increases by 0.1℃. The obtained temperature correction value based on the number of people is usually set with upper and lower limits in this embodiment. For example, it can consider the temperature correction value based on the number of people for a maximum of 8 people, that is, the range of the temperature correction value based on the number of people is [-0.8℃, 0.8℃].
[0050] Step S302: Calculate the indoor temperature correction value based on the indoor temperature and the preset second correction range.
[0051] In this embodiment, taking the sleep scene mode as an example, this embodiment also needs to calculate the indoor temperature correction value based on the indoor temperature and the preset second correction range.
[0052] When calculating the indoor temperature correction value, the second correction range can be preset or it can be a portion of the difference between the current actual indoor temperature and the basic sleep comfort temperature. The proportion of this portion can be set based on the actual situation. For example, in this embodiment, the proportion can be set to 50%.
[0053] Step S303: Calculate the activity temperature correction value based on the activity level and the preset third correction range.
[0054] In this embodiment, taking the sleep scene mode as an example, this embodiment also needs to calculate the activity level temperature correction value based on the activity level and the preset third correction range. The higher the activity level, the larger the activity level temperature correction value. In this embodiment, the third correction range can be set to 0.001-0.1℃. The change in the sign of the activity level temperature correction value is consistent with the sign of the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature. The principle is that when the set temperature is greater than the actual temperature, the activity level increases in the sleep state, so the temperature of the air conditioning equipment needs to be increased. The activity level correction sign is positive, and vice versa.
[0055] Step S304: Calculate the air conditioning correction temperature based on the temperature correction values for the number of people, the indoor temperature, and the activity level, as well as the corresponding preset weights.
[0056] In this embodiment, the preset weights are configured to be obtained based on a lookup table of activity levels. Taking the sleep scene mode as an example, in the sleep scene mode, the weights of the three environmental parameters can be adjusted according to the user's activity level. For example, when the obtained activity level is 0-1%, the user is considered to be in deep sleep. At this time, the weight of the indoor temperature correction value is 65%, the weight of the temperature correction value based on the number of people is 20%, and the weight of the temperature correction value based on activity level is 15%. When the obtained activity level is 2%-100%, the user is considered to be in REM sleep. At this time, the weight of the indoor temperature correction value is 50%, the weight of the temperature correction value based on the number of people is 20%, and the weight of the temperature correction value based on activity level is 30%.
[0057] That is, in this embodiment, a correlation table can be established between the weights of environmental parameters and the magnitude of activity. Subsequently, when the activity level is obtained, the preset weights of the environmental parameters corresponding to the activity level can be obtained by looking up the correlation table.
[0058] After obtaining the preset weights corresponding to each environmental parameter based on the activity level lookup table, the air conditioning correction temperature can be calculated based on the preset weights corresponding to the personnel number temperature correction value, indoor temperature correction value, and activity level temperature correction value obtained above.
[0059] For example, taking the sleep scene mode as an example, let the basic comfortable sleep temperature be 26℃, the obtained indoor temperature be 27℃, the number of people be 2, and the activity level be 20%. At this time, the preset weight scheme obtained by looking up the table is the weight scheme of the REM sleep state, that is, the weight of the indoor temperature correction value is 50%, the weight of the temperature correction value of the number of people is 20%, and the weight of the temperature correction value of the activity level is 30%.
[0060] Based on the method described above, the temperature correction value for the number of people is -1℃, the indoor temperature correction value is -0.5℃, and the temperature correction value for the amount of activity is -1.2℃. At this time, based on the preset weight calculation and the above three calculations, the obtained air conditioning correction temperature is -0.81℃, and the temperature after the air conditioning equipment is adjusted based on the air conditioning correction temperature is 25.19℃.
[0061] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the air conditioning unit's fan speed and humidity can be adjusted in sleep mode or other scene modes to improve the thermal comfort of the space where the air conditioner is located. The calculation methods for obtaining the corrected air conditioning fan speed and corrected humidity can also be performed as described above, and will not be elaborated further here.
[0062] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a specific embodiment of step S104. This embodiment can be achieved through, as shown below... Figure 4 The steps shown implement step S104, specifically including steps S401 to S402:
[0063] Step S401: Obtain the control mechanism corresponding to the current scene mode.
[0064] In this embodiment, the air conditioning equipment has different control mechanisms in different scenario modes. Therefore, before adjusting the air conditioning equipment, it is necessary to first obtain the control mechanism corresponding to the current scenario mode.
[0065] Step S402: Adjust the air conditioning equipment based on the control mechanism and correction parameters.
[0066] After obtaining the control mechanism corresponding to the current scene mode, the air conditioning equipment can be adjusted based on the control mechanism and correction parameters. The correction parameters include the air conditioning correction temperature, air conditioning correction fan speed, and air conditioning correction humidity mentioned above.
[0067] Optionally, based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating a specific embodiment of step S402. In this embodiment, when the scene mode is a sleep scene mode, the control mechanism includes a delayed response mechanism, and the correction parameters include the air conditioning correction temperature. This embodiment can be achieved through, as shown in... Figure 5 The steps shown implement step S402, specifically including steps S501 to S502:
[0068] Step S501: In response to a change in the air conditioning correction temperature and the duration of the change being greater than or equal to a preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit is adjusted based on the air conditioning correction temperature.
[0069] In this embodiment, taking the sleep scene mode as an example, in order to avoid misadjustment caused by the brief absence of personnel, the control mechanism of the air conditioning equipment in the sleep scene mode is a delayed response mechanism. As mentioned above, in the sleep scene mode, the correction parameter obtained for adjusting the air conditioning equipment is the air conditioning correction temperature.
[0070] In sleep mode, if the air conditioner corrects the temperature and the duration of the change is greater than or equal to a preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioner will be adjusted based on the corrected temperature.
[0071] Step S502: In response to a change in the air conditioning correction temperature and a duration of the change being less than a preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit is not adjusted.
[0072] In sleep mode, if the air conditioner corrects a temperature change and the duration of the change is less than a preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioner will not be adjusted.
[0073] For example, when a change in the number of people is detected, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit is not adjusted immediately. Instead, it is determined whether the duration of the change in the number of people is greater than a preset time. If the duration is greater than or equal to the preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit is adjusted based on the air conditioning temperature correction to avoid erroneous adjustments caused by short-term changes in the number of people. If the duration is less than the preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit is not adjusted. In this embodiment, the preset time can be set to 1-30 minutes.
[0074] When a significant change in activity level is detected, it is also necessary to determine whether the duration of the change in activity level is greater than a preset time. If the duration is greater than or equal to the preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit is adjusted based on the air conditioning temperature correction. If the duration is less than the preset time, the current temperature of the air conditioning unit is not adjusted. In this embodiment, the preset time can be set to 30 seconds.
[0075] In one application scenario, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram comparing the sleep activity levels in a sleep scenario mode between the conventional temperature control provided in this application and the control method used in this application.
