[0042] The embodiments provided by the present application will be specifically introduced below in combination with the drawings of the specification.

[0043] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an air conditioner provided exemplarily by the embodiments of the present application is shown in Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the air conditioner 1 comprises an outdoor unit 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 1 and the remote controller 4 are in communication connection.

[0045] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit 2 is usually arranged outdoors and is used for indoor environment heat exchange. In addition, in Figure 1In the diagram, outdoor unit 2 is located on the opposite side of indoor unit 3, separated by wall WL. Outdoor unit 2 is represented by a dashed line.

[0046] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 1 includes an indoor unit 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 3, taking a wall-mounted unit as an example, is typically installed on an indoor wall surface such as WL. Another example is a floor-standing unit (…). Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) is also a type of indoor unit.

[0048] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 1 includes a throttling device 21 ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image).

[0049] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a throttling device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the throttling device 21 includes an expansion valve 211. There is a pipe connection between the outdoor unit 2 and the indoor unit 3, and the expansion valve 211 is installed on the pipe between the indoor unit 3 and the outdoor unit 2. The pipe, also known as the gas-liquid pipe, includes: a gas pipe for transporting gaseous refrigerant and a liquid pipe for transporting two-phase refrigerant.

[0050] In some embodiments, the throttling device 21 is used to regulate the fluid flow rate in the air conditioning gas-liquid pipe and to regulate the refrigerant flow rate. The expansion valve 211 is used to regulate the refrigerant supply in the pipe. The expansion valve 211 can be independent of the outdoor unit 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the expansion valve 211 may also be part of the outdoor unit 2 (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown), Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another throttling device provided in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0052] In addition, outdoor unit 2, throttling device 21 and indoor unit 3 are all connected to controller 1000 ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) There is a communication connection, and related operations are performed according to the instructions of the controller 1000.

[0053] Taking expansion valve 211, which is part of outdoor unit 2, as an example, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner 1 also includes a refrigerant circulation loop 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, a vapor compression refrigeration cycle can be performed through refrigerant circulation in the refrigerant circulation loop 10. Connecting pipes are used to connect the indoor unit 3 and the outdoor unit 2 to form the refrigerant circulation loop 10 for refrigerant circulation.

[0055] In some embodiments, the refrigerant circulation loop 10 includes a compressor 11, an outdoor heat exchanger 13, an expansion valve 211, a receiver 14, and an indoor heat exchanger 15. The indoor heat exchanger 15 and the outdoor heat exchanger 13 function as condensers or evaporators. The compressor 11 draws in refrigerant through its suction port and discharges the internally compressed refrigerant to the indoor heat exchanger 15 through its discharge port.

[0056] In some embodiments, the outdoor heat exchanger 13 has a first inlet / outlet for allowing refrigerant to flow through a receiver 14 between the receiver 14 and the suction inlet of the compressor 11, and a second inlet / outlet for allowing refrigerant to flow between the receiver 13 and the expansion valve 211. The outdoor heat exchanger 13 uses heat transfer tubes connected between the second inlet / outlet and the first inlet / outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger 13. Figure 4 (Not shown) The refrigerant flowing in the container exchanges heat with the outdoor air.

[0057] In some embodiments, the expansion valve 211 can be configured to change its opening degree. By reducing the opening degree, the flow resistance of the refrigerant through the expansion valve 211 increases, and by increasing the opening degree, the flow resistance of the refrigerant through the expansion valve 211 decreases.

[0058] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a connection method for an expansion valve provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, during heating operation, the expansion valve 211 expands and depressurizes the refrigerant flowing from the indoor heat exchanger 15 toward the outdoor heat exchanger 13. Furthermore, even if the states of other devices installed in the refrigerant circulation loop 10 remain unchanged, the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant circulation loop 10 will change when the opening degree of the expansion valve 211 changes.

[0059] In some embodiments, the indoor heat exchanger 15 has a second inlet for allowing liquid refrigerant to flow between it and the expansion valve 211, and a first inlet for allowing gaseous refrigerant to flow between it and the outlet of the compressor 11. The indoor heat exchanger 15 uses heat transfer tubes connected between the second inlet and the first inlet of the indoor heat exchanger 15. Figure 5 (Not shown) The refrigerant flowing in the container exchanges heat with the indoor air.

[0060] In some embodiments, a receiver 14 is disposed between the outdoor heat exchanger 13 and the suction inlet of the compressor 11. In the receiver 14, the refrigerant flowing from the outdoor heat exchanger 13 to the compressor 11 is separated into gaseous refrigerant and liquid refrigerant. Furthermore, gaseous refrigerant is mainly supplied from the receiver 14 to the suction inlet of the compressor 11.

[0061] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit 2 further includes an outdoor fan 22 that generates an airflow of outdoor air through the outdoor heat exchanger 13 to promote the flow of air through the heat transfer tubes ( Figure 5The indoor fan 31 is driven by an indoor fan motor 31A capable of changing the rotation speed.

[0062] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 3 is provided with an indoor fan 31 that generates an airflow of indoor air through the indoor heat exchanger 15 to facilitate heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing in the heat transfer tubes (not shown) and the indoor air. Figure 5 The indoor fan 31 is driven by an indoor fan motor 31A capable of changing the rotation speed.

[0097] In some embodiments, the user can set different running parameters of the air conditioner in different sleep stages through the remote controller 4.

[0098] It should be noted that, since the sleep habits, sleep time, sleep duration, deep sleep duration, and deep sleep duration of different users can be different, the sleep stages of different users and the requirements of each sleep stage on the environment are also different.

[0099] Figure 8 The present application provides a user's sleep curve diagram, as shown in Figure 8 Assuming that the user A starts to sleep at 22:30 every night, the sleep duration is half an hour, the deep sleep duration is 3 hours, the deep sleep duration is 2 hours, and the pre-waking-up stage is 2 hours, the sleep stages of the user A are the sleep-in stage from 22:30 to 23:00, the deep sleep stage from 23:01 to 2:00 the next day, the deep sleep stage from 2:01 to 4:00, and the pre-waking-up stage from 4:01 to 6:00.

[0100] In some embodiments, the expected body temperature of the user A in the sleep-in stage is 26℃, the expected body temperature in the deep sleep stage is 27℃, the expected body temperature in the deep sleep stage is 28℃, and the expected body temperature in the pre-waking-up stage is 26℃.

[0101] It should be noted that, the user can also include more or fewer sleep stages during the sleep process, Figure 8 The sleep curve in the above table is only an example, and the number of sleep stages of the user is not limited in the present application.

[0102] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 1 and the remote controller 4 can also be connected to the terminal device, and the user can customize the sleep stages and the running parameters of the air conditioner in each sleep stage through the terminal device; the user can also input a control instruction through the remote controller 4 to set the running parameters of the air conditioner in each sleep stage during the sleep process of the user.

[0103] The control instruction can be the pressing operation of one or more buttons by the user; the running parameters of the air conditioner include the running temperature and the running duration.

[0104] In some embodiments, the controller can control the air conditioner 1 to run at corresponding operating temperatures in different sleep stages through the control instructions input by the user to the remote controller 4.

[0105] In some embodiments, the control instructions input by the user to the remote controller 4 include an operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stages, an operation for setting parameters, and an operation for confirming parameter setting.

[0106] In some embodiments, the user can input the operating parameters of the air conditioner in each sleep stage through the remote controller 4; the operating parameters include operating temperature and operating time length.

[0107] In some embodiments, the user can input the operating temperature and operating time length of the air conditioner in the sleep-in stage through the remote controller 4.

[0108] For example, the user can set the operating temperature of the air conditioner in the sleep-in stage (e.g. 26℃) by short pressing the “temperature” button on the remote controller 4 (the operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stages); the user can set the operating time length of the air conditioner in the sleep-in stage (e.g. 0.5 hours) by short pressing the “timing” button on the remote controller 4 (the operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stages).

[0109] Further, the controller 1000 controls the air conditioner 1 to run at the operating temperature of 26℃ in the sleep-in stage for 0.5 hours.

[0110] In some embodiments, after the operating parameters of the air conditioner in the sleep-in stage are set, the user can input the operating temperature and operating time length of the air conditioner in the sound-sleep stage through the remote controller 4.

[0111] For example, the user can set the operating temperature of the air conditioner in the sound-sleep stage by simultaneously pressing the “setting” and “dehumidification” buttons on the remote controller 4 (the operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stages); after the user sets the operating temperature (e.g. 27℃) by up and down page turning (the operation for setting parameters), the user simultaneously presses the “setting”, “dehumidification” and “timing” buttons on the remote controller 4 again to confirm the completion of the operating temperature setting (the operation for confirming parameter setting); the user can set the operating time length of the air conditioner in the sound-sleep stage by simultaneously pressing the “setting”, “dehumidification” and “timing” buttons on the remote controller 4 (the operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stages); after the user sets the operating time length (e.g. 3 hours) by up and down page turning (the operation for setting parameters), the user simultaneously presses the “setting”, “dehumidification” and “timing” buttons on the remote controller 4 again to confirm the completion of the operating time length setting (the operation for confirming parameter setting).

[0112] Further, the controller 1000 controls the air conditioner 1 to operate at an operating temperature of 27°C for 3 hours in the light sleep stage.

[0113] In some embodiments, after the operating parameter setting of the air conditioner in the light sleep stage is completed, the user can input the operating temperature and the operating duration of the air conditioner in the deep sleep stage through the remote controller 4.

[0114] For example, the user can press the "setting" and "sleep" buttons on the remote controller 4 at the same time to set the operating temperature of the air conditioner in the deep sleep stage (operation of triggering the parameter setting in the sleep stage), set the operating temperature (for example, 28°C) through the up and down page setting (operation of setting the parameter), and press the "setting", "sleep" and "timing" buttons on the remote controller 4 at the same time again to confirm the completion of the operating temperature setting (operation of confirming the parameter setting).

[0115] Further, the controller 1000 controls the air conditioner 1 to operate at an operating temperature of 28°C for 2 hours in the deep sleep stage.

[0116] In some embodiments, after the operating parameter setting of the air conditioner in the deep sleep stage is completed, the user can input the operating temperature and the operating duration of the air conditioner in the pre-wakeup stage through the remote controller 4.

[0117] For example, the user can press the "setting" and "sleep" buttons on the remote controller 4 at the same time to set the operating temperature of the air conditioner in the deep sleep stage (operation of triggering the parameter setting in the sleep stage), set the operating temperature (for example, 28°C) through the up and down page setting (operation of setting the parameter), and press the "setting", "sleep" and "timing" buttons on the remote controller 4 at the same time again to confirm the completion of the operating temperature setting (operation of confirming the parameter setting).

[0118] Further, the controller 1000 controls the air conditioner 1 to run at a running temperature of 26℃ for 2 hours in the approaching wake-up stage.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the user finishes setting the running parameters of the air conditioner for each sleep stage, the controller of the air conditioner adjusts the running power, running temperature and air speed of the air conditioner according to the running parameters of different sleep stages.

[0120] In some embodiments, when the user sets the running temperature of the air conditioner for any sleep stage through the remote controller 4, if the user inputs an instruction to cancel the running temperature of the sleep stage through the remote controller 4, the air conditioner is controlled to cancel the setting of the running temperature of the sleep stage.

[0121] Further, the air conditioner is controlled to run at the running temperature of the previous stage in the sleep stage.

[0122] For example, when the user sets the running temperature of the air conditioner for any sleep stage through the remote controller 4, if the user wants to cancel the running temperature set for the sleep stage, the user can press and hold the “setting”, “cleaning” and “temperature” buttons on the remote controller 4 at the same time to send an instruction to the air conditioner to cancel the running temperature of the sleep stage, so that the controller 1000 controls the air conditioner to cancel the running temperature set for the sleep stage and run at the running temperature of the previous stage in the sleep stage.

[0123] In some embodiments, when the user sets the running time of the air conditioner for any sleep stage through the remote controller 4, if the user inputs an instruction to cancel the running time of the sleep stage through the remote controller 4, the air conditioner is controlled to cancel the setting of the running time of the sleep stage.

[0124] In some embodiments, when the user sets the running time of the air conditioner for any sleep stage through the remote controller 4, if the user wants to cancel the running time set for the sleep stage, the user can press and hold the “setting”, “sleep” and “timing” buttons on the remote controller 4 at the same time to send an instruction to the air conditioner to cancel the running time of the sleep stage, so that the controller 1000 controls the air conditioner to cancel the running time set for the sleep stage.

[0125] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the air conditioner runs normally at the set running temperature and running time in each stage, the user needs to cancel the timing of each sleep stage in the reverse order of the multi-sleep stage timing.

[0126] For example, when the controller 1000 receives the instruction of canceling the running time of the sleep stage input by the user through the remote controller 4, the controller 1000 needs to determine whether the sleep stage that the user wants to cancel the timing is the last sleep stage first. If not, the controller 1000 sends a prompt message to the remote controller 4 and displays it on the human-computer interaction interface 43 (for example, "the stage to be canceled is not the last stage, please cancel the timing of the next stage first"), so as to prompt the user to cancel the timing of other stages first. If yes, the controller 1000 directly cancels the set running time of the sleep stage.

[0127] It should be noted that in specific implementations, when the user sets the running parameters of the air conditioner in different sleep stages through a single key or a combination of keys, the types and combination modes of the keys can include more or less, and the above examples cannot limit the types and combination modes of the keys.

[0128] In some embodiments, the user can also set the running parameters of the air conditioner in each sleep stage on the terminal device.

[0129] In some embodiments, if the user does not set the running parameters of the air conditioner in each sleep stage in turn, the controller can automatically generate a set of running parameters according to the historical setting parameters of the user or other users.

[0130] For example, a large number of historical setting parameters of different users stored in the cloud can be used as the input of the parameter generation model, which is continuously learned and trained to obtain the trained parameter generation model.

[0131] Further, the trained parameter generation model is deployed to the controller, and in the case that the user does not set the running parameters of the air conditioner in each sleep stage in turn, the running parameters of the air conditioner in each sleep stage are automatically generated according to the multiple sleep stages of the user and the parameter generation model, so as to control the air conditioner to run in different sleep stages with different running parameters.

[0132] Figure 9 A control method flowchart of an air conditioner is provided for the embodiments of the present application. The air conditioner is in communication connection with a remote controller. The method is used for timing and temperature setting of multiple sleep stages. As shown in the figure, Figure 9 The method comprises the following steps:

[0133] S101, the controller receives the control instruction input by the user to the remote controller.

[0134] The control instruction comprises the running temperature of the air conditioner in each sleep stage of the user during sleep; the multiple sleep stages comprise a sleep-in stage, a sound-sleep stage, a deep-sleep stage, and a pre-wakeup stage.

[0135] In some embodiments, the control instruction is generated by a user operating keys on a remote controller; the operations include, in sequence, an operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stage, an operation for setting the parameter, and an operation for confirming the parameter setting.

[0136] In some embodiments, the user can perform the operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stage, the operation for setting the parameter, and the operation for confirming the parameter setting by pressing single or combined keys on the remote controller. The input method of the control instruction is described in detail above in Figure 7 and Figure 8 and will not be described here again.

[0137] S102, the controller controls the air conditioner to run at the corresponding operating temperature in the different sleep stages in response to the control instruction.

[0138] In some embodiments, the control instruction further includes the respective operating time length of the air conditioner in the sleep stages.

[0139] In some embodiments, the control instruction is generated by a user operating keys on a remote controller; the operations include, in sequence, an operation for triggering parameter setting of the sleep stage, an operation for setting the parameter, and an operation for confirming the parameter setting.

[0140] Specifically, the controller controls the air conditioner to run at the corresponding operating temperature in the different sleep stages for the corresponding operating time length in response to the control instruction.

[0141] In some embodiments, the controller, in response to the control instruction, before controlling the air conditioner to run at the corresponding operating temperature in the different sleep stages for the corresponding operating time length, acquires sleep state information of the user and determines the sleep stage in which the user is currently located based on the sleep state information.

[0142] For example, if the sleep stage in which the user is currently located is the falling asleep stage, the operating temperature of the air conditioner in the falling asleep stage input by the user through the remote controller 4 is 26℃, and the operating time length is 0.5 hours, then the controller controls the air conditioner to run at 26℃ for 0.5 hours in the falling asleep stage.

[0143] For example, if the sleep stage in which the user is currently located is the deep sleep stage, the operating temperature of the air conditioner in the deep sleep stage input by the user through the remote controller 4 is 27℃, and the operating time length is 3 hours, then the controller controls the air conditioner to run at 27℃ for 3 hours in the deep sleep stage.

[0144] For example, if the current sleep stage of the user is the deep sleep stage, the running temperature of the air conditioner in the deep sleep stage input by the user through the remote controller 4 is 28℃, and the running duration is 2 hours, the controller controls the air conditioner to run at 28℃ for 2 hours corresponding to the deep sleep stage.

[0145] For example, if the current sleep stage of the user is the pre-waking-up stage, the running temperature of the air conditioner in the pre-waking-up stage input by the user through the remote controller 4 is 26℃, and the running duration is 2 hours, the controller controls the air conditioner to run at 26℃ for 2 hours corresponding to the pre-waking-up stage.

[0146] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the present application at least brings the following beneficial effects: by acquiring the control instruction input by the user to the remote controller, the running temperature of each sleep stage in the sleep process of the user is determined, so that the air conditioner runs at different running temperature in different sleep stages, and the multi-stage temperature control of the air conditioner is realized; at the same time, since the running temperature of the air conditioner corresponding to different sleep stages is set by the user, the environment in different sleep stages is more in line with the user's demand, the user's expectation is met, and the user's use experience and sleep comfort are improved.

[0147] In some embodiments, the user can also cancel the setting of the running temperature of the air conditioner in the target sleep stage by inputting the instruction for canceling the running temperature of the sleep stage to the remote controller. Figure 10 Another flowchart of the control method of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 8, which is used to cancel the setting of the running temperature of the air conditioner in the target sleep stage, and the method comprises the following steps: Figure 10

[0148] S201, in the process of setting the running temperature of the target sleep stage, the controller receives the instruction for canceling the running temperature of the sleep stage input by the user to the remote controller.

[0149] The target sleep stage is any sleep stage in the plurality of sleep stages.

[0150] In some embodiments, the user can input the instruction for canceling the running temperature of the sleep stage by pressing the single or combined keys of the remote controller, and the input method of the instruction for canceling the running temperature of the sleep stage is described in detail in the above Figure 7 and Figure 8 , which will not be described here.

[0151] S202, the controller controls the air conditioner to cancel the setting of the running temperature of the target sleep stage in response to the instruction for canceling the running temperature of the sleep stage.

[0152] ​For example, if the operating temperature for the target sleep stage is already set to 26°C, and the controller receives a user's instruction to cancel the operating temperature for that sleep stage via the remote control, the controller responds to the instruction to cancel the operating temperature for that sleep stage by controlling the air conditioner to cancel the setting of the operating temperature for the target sleep stage to 26°C.

[0153] At this point, the user can reset the operating temperature of the target sleep stage according to the method of inputting control commands in S101; if the user does not reset the operating temperature of the target sleep stage, the operating temperature of the previous stage will be used.

[0154] In some embodiments, the user can also cancel the setting of the target sleep stage's runtime by inputting a command to the remote control to cancel the runtime of that sleep stage. Figure 11 This is a schematic flowchart of another air conditioner control method provided in an embodiment of this application, used to cancel the setting of the running time of the target sleep stage of the air conditioner, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0155] S301. During the process of setting the runtime of the target sleep stage, the controller receives a command from the user via the remote control to cancel the runtime of the sleep stage.

[0156] The target sleep stage can be any one of multiple sleep stages.

[0157] In some embodiments, the user can input a command to cancel the duration of the sleep stage by pressing a single or combination of buttons on the remote control. For details on how to input the command to cancel the duration of the sleep stage, please refer to the above. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The description in the text will not be repeated here.

[0158] S302, In response to the instruction to cancel the runtime of the sleep stage, the controller controls the air conditioner to cancel the setting of the runtime of the target sleep stage.

[0159] For example, if the target sleep phase duration is set to 2 hours, and the controller receives a user's instruction to cancel the sleep phase duration input via the remote control, the controller responds to the instruction by controlling the air conditioner to cancel the 2-hour target sleep phase duration setting. At this time, the user can reset the target sleep phase duration according to the method of inputting control instructions in S101.

[0160] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the air conditioner normally operates at the set operating temperature and operating time in each stage, the user needs to cancel the timing of each sleep stage in the reverse order of the multi-sleep stage timing.

[0161] Specifically, when the controller receives an instruction to cancel the operating time of the sleep stage, the controller first determines whether the target sleep stage that the user wants to cancel the timing is the last sleep stage. If not, the controller sends a prompt message to the remote controller 4 and displays it on the human-computer interaction interface (for example, "the stage to be canceled is not the last stage, please cancel the timing of the next stage first"), so as to prompt the user to cancel the timing of other stages first. If yes, the controller directly cancels the set operating time of the target sleep stage.

[0162] In some embodiments, if the user does not set the operating time of each sleep stage, the controller can also determine the user's multiple sleep stages according to the user's historical sleep behavior information, and determine the operating time of the air conditioner in each sleep stage of the multiple sleep stages. Figure 12 Another flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner is provided for determining the user's multiple sleep stages. As shown in Figure 12 The method comprises the following steps:

[0163] S401, the controller obtains the user's historical sleep behavior information.

[0164] The historical sleep behavior information includes at least one of the following: total sleep time, sleep start time, sleep time, deep sleep time, and pre-waking time.

[0165] It should be noted that different users' historical sleep behavior information may also be different. If the user wants to achieve multi-stage temperature setting and timing, he needs to upload his own historical sleep behavior information to the cloud, so that the controller can determine the user's multiple sleep stages in the sleep process according to the historical sleep behavior information.

[0166] In some embodiments, if the user does not upload the historical sleep behavior information, the controller can analyze a relatively popular historical sleep behavior information from the historical sleep behavior information of other users in the cloud as the basis for dividing the user's multiple sleep stages.

[0167] S402, the controller determines the time of each sleep stage of the user based on the user's historical sleep behavior information, and determines the operating time of the air conditioner in each sleep stage of the multiple sleep stages.

[0168] In some embodiments, after the controller obtains the total sleep duration, the sleep start time, the sleep-in duration, the deep sleep duration, the deep sleep duration, and the pre-waking duration of the user, the sleep process of the user is divided into the sleep-in stage, the deep sleep stage, the deep sleep stage, and the pre-waking stage according to the total sleep duration, the sleep start time, the sleep-in duration, the deep sleep duration, the deep sleep duration, and the pre-waking duration.

[0169] Further, after the multiple sleep stages of the user are determined, the controller determines the running duration of the air conditioner in each of the multiple sleep stages.

[0170] S403, the controller controls the air conditioner to run at the corresponding running temperature in the running duration corresponding to each sleep stage in response to the control instruction.

[0171] In some embodiments, after the running duration of each sleep stage is determined, the controller controls the air conditioner to run at the corresponding running temperature in the running duration corresponding to each sleep stage.
