Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of energy-saving electrical appliance technology, and in particular to a smart energy-saving control method and system for vertical air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in some rainy or humid areas, continuous rainy weather causes clothes to take a long time to dry naturally after washing, causing great inconvenience to users' daily lives. To solve this problem, many users hang or place damp clothes near the air outlet of a standing air conditioner, using the hot air blown out when the air conditioner is in heating mode to accelerate the drying of the clothes. To avoid the hot air blowing directly on the clothes and causing localized overheating or even damage, users usually turn on the air conditioner's swing mode, causing the airflow direction to periodically oscillate left and right.

[0003] However, the control logic of the sweeping mode in existing floor-standing air conditioners is relatively fixed, usually set to drive the air guide vane to sweep back and forth within a preset limit angle range. Since the size and position of clothes hung by users are somewhat random, they often cannot completely cover the entire air outlet area in the sweeping mode. Therefore, during air conditioner operation, for a considerable period of time and in a certain area, the hot air blown out by the air conditioner does not directly act on the clothes, but is blown directly into the empty or unoccupied indoor space. This portion of hot air that is not effectively used for drying clothes constitutes energy waste and increases unnecessary electricity consumption, indicating room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to reduce the power waste caused by the use of air conditioners, this application provides a smart energy-saving control method and system for vertical air conditioners.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a smart energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners, employing the following technical solution: A smart energy-saving control method for a vertical air conditioner includes: Get the air conditioner selection mode; When the selected air conditioner mode is consistent with the preset smart drying mode, the air conditioner horizontal fan blades are controlled to operate periodically within the preset effective airflow range for a preset unit duration. During the operation, the horizontal airflow angle and external distance are obtained in real time according to the distance detection device installed on the horizontal fan blades. Under a single horizontal blowing angle, the average value of all external distances is calculated to determine the representative distance of the point, and the horizontal blowing angle with a representative distance of the point less than the preset distance away from the point is defined as the effective approach angle; The distance fluctuation coefficient is determined by calculating the distance represented by the point and all external distances under the effective proximity angle, and the effective proximity angle with a distance fluctuation coefficient greater than the preset benchmark fluctuation coefficient is defined as the clothing presence angle; Within the effective range of airflow, the range of clothing presence is constructed based on the maximum and minimum angles of clothing presence, and the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner are controlled to operate periodically within the range of clothing presence.

[0006] Optionally, after the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner have operated periodically within the range of clothing, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: The clothing deviation angle is determined based on any two clothing existence angles, and the two clothing existence angles with clothing deviation angles less than the preset interval deviation angle are included in the preset initially empty single clothing set until all clothing existence angles are within the single clothing set. Within a single garment collection, the average of the distance fluctuation coefficients determined by the angles at which each garment exists is used to calculate the garment fluctuation coefficient. The drying requirement weights are assigned to each individual garment collection based on the garment fluctuation coefficient. Within a single garment collection, the representative center angle is determined based on the angles of the largest and smallest garments, and the range center angle is determined within the range of garments. The center-to-center angle is determined by calculation based on the center angle of the range and the representative center angle, and the reasonable layout coefficient is determined by calculation based on all center-to-center angles and the corresponding drying requirement weights. When the layout rationality coefficient is less than the preset benchmark rationality coefficient, a layout reminder signal is output.

[0007] Optionally, after the reasonable layout coefficient is determined, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: The width of the work area is determined based on the extent of the clothing, and the width of each individual clothing set is determined based on each individual clothing set. The available space width is determined by calculating based on the width of the work area and the width of the individual sets. The number of dry clothes is determined by counting individual garment sets, and the theoretical interval width is determined by calculating the range's empty width and the number of dry clothes. The actual interval width is determined based on each adjacent set of individual garments, and the effective interval parameters are determined by calculation based on all actual interval widths and theoretical interval widths. The interval compensation coefficient corresponding to the effective interval parameter is determined according to the preset compensation matching relationship, and the reasonable arrangement coefficient is updated according to the interval compensation coefficient.

[0008] Optionally, after the arrangement reminder signal is output, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: The reasonable difference coefficient is determined by calculating the difference between the reasonable layout coefficient and the benchmark reasonable coefficient. The remaining compensation coefficient is determined by calculating based on the current interval compensation coefficient and the preset optimal compensation coefficient; Determine whether the remaining compensation coefficient is greater than the reasonable difference coefficient; If the remaining compensation coefficient is not greater than the reasonable difference coefficient, then output the position adjustment signal; If the remaining compensation coefficient is greater than the reasonable difference coefficient, then the optimal placement area corresponding to each individual clothing set is determined based on the theoretical interval width within the range of clothing existence, and the optimal placement area is displayed on the air conditioner panel with a preset adjustment duration.

[0009] Optionally, after the position adjustment signal is output, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: Randomly select any number of individual clothing sets from each individual clothing set to define the demand variation set; Based on the set of changing demands, a random transformation is performed to determine the clothing adjustment plan, and under the clothing adjustment plan, calculation and analysis are performed on each new set of individual clothing items to determine the reasonableness coefficient of the arrangement; When the reasonableness coefficient of the layout is greater than the benchmark reasonableness coefficient, the corresponding clothing adjustment plan is defined as a valid adjustment plan, and the number of demand changes is determined by counting the set of demand changes in the valid adjustment plan. The effective adjustment scheme corresponding to the smallest change in demand is defined as the optional adjustment scheme, and the adjustment scheme to be used is determined from all the optional adjustment schemes. The adjustment duration is displayed on the air conditioning panel according to the adjustment scheme to be used.

[0010] Optionally, the steps for determining which adjustment scheme to use from all available adjustment options include: The reasonable coefficient for arranging each optional adjustment scheme is defined as the reasonable optional coefficient; The required adjustment distance for each garment is determined based on the optional adjustment scheme, and the adjustment convenience coefficient corresponding to the floating coefficient of each garment is determined based on the preset convenient matching relationship; The overall convenience factor is determined by calculating the distance adjustment based on all needs and the corresponding convenience factor. The comprehensive evaluation parameters are determined by calculating the reasonable optional coefficient, the overall convenience coefficient, the preset reasonable weight, and the preset convenience weight, and the optional adjustment scheme corresponding to the largest comprehensive evaluation parameter is determined as the adjustment scheme to be used.

[0011] Optionally, after the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner have operated periodically within the range of clothing, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: The processing prediction time corresponding to the center interval angle and the clothing floating coefficient is determined based on the preset prediction matching relationship. The maximum predicted processing time is defined as the upper limit processing time, and a drying prompt signal is output after the upper limit processing time.

[0012] Secondly, this application provides a smart energy-saving system for vertical air conditioners, which adopts the following technical solution: A smart energy-saving system for vertical air conditioners includes: The acquisition module is used to obtain the air conditioner selection mode; The processing module, connected to the acquisition and judgment modules, is used for information storage and processing; The judgment module, connected to the acquisition and processing modules, is used for judging information. When the judgment module determines that the selected mode of the air conditioner is consistent with the preset smart drying mode, the processing module controls the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner to operate periodically within the preset effective blowing range for a preset unit time. During the operation, the horizontal blowing angle and the external distance are obtained in real time according to the distance detection device installed on the horizontal fan blades. The processing module calculates the average of all external distances under a single horizontal blowing angle to determine the representative distance of the point, and defines the horizontal blowing angle with a representative distance of the point less than the preset distance away from the point as the effective approach angle. The processing module calculates the distance fluctuation coefficient based on the distance represented by the point and all external distances under the effective proximity angle, and defines the effective proximity angle with a distance fluctuation coefficient greater than the preset benchmark fluctuation coefficient as the clothing presence angle; The processing module constructs the clothing presence range within the effective airflow range based on the maximum and minimum clothing presence angles, and controls the air conditioner's horizontal fan blades to operate periodically within the clothing presence range.

[0013] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: When using a standing air conditioner to dry clothes, the location of the clothes can be effectively identified and analyzed, so that the air conditioner only operates in the area where the clothes can be dried, reducing energy waste. By analyzing the floating behavior of clothes during the drying process, the moisture content of the clothes can be determined. This allows for a simulation of how quickly clothes can be dried, enabling users to adjust the position of the clothes and thus shorten the overall drying time, thereby reducing energy waste.

[0022] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of this application clearer, the following is combined with Figures 1-8 The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.

[0023] The embodiments of this application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This application discloses a smart energy-saving control method for a vertical air conditioner, referring to... Figure 1 The process of using intelligent energy-saving control methods for vertical air conditioners includes the following steps: Step S100: Obtain the air conditioner selection mode.

[0025] Air conditioner selection mode refers to the mode that the user chooses for the air conditioner, such as cooling mode, heating mode, etc.

[0026] Step S101: When the selected mode of the air conditioner is consistent with the preset smart blowing mode, control the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner to operate periodically within the preset effective blowing range for a preset unit time. During the operation, the horizontal blowing angle and the external distance are obtained in real time according to the distance detection device installed on the horizontal fan blades.

[0027] The intelligent drying mode is for when users need to dry clothes located near the air conditioner vent. The effective blowing range is the range of horizontal blowing angles that the air conditioner's horizontal fan blades can operate in. The unit duration is the set duration set by the operator, which can complete 5-10 horizontal cyclical operations. The distance detection device can be a distance sensor, which can be installed on the horizontal fan blades and adjust its angle accordingly to detect the distance to objects in the direction the horizontal fan blades are pointing. The horizontal blowing angle is the angle at which the horizontal fan blades operate, and the external distance is the distance value between the device and external objects detected at the horizontal blowing angle.

[0028] Step S102: Under a single horizontal blowing angle, calculate the average of all external distances to determine the representative distance of the point, and define the horizontal blowing angle where the representative distance of the point is less than the preset distance away from the point as the effective approach angle.

[0029] The point-representation distance is the average of multiple external distances obtained at a single angle. The point-distance distance is the minimum point-representation distance that the staff sets when they believe that there are no clothes that need to be dried at that location. By defining the effective approach angle, the angle situations where there may be clothes are marked and distinguished, which facilitates subsequent analysis.

[0030] Step S103: Calculate the distance fluctuation coefficient based on the distance represented by the point and all external distances under the effective proximity angle, and define the effective proximity angle with a distance fluctuation coefficient greater than the preset benchmark fluctuation coefficient as the clothing presence angle.

[0031] The distance fluctuation coefficient reflects the fluctuation of the external distance detected at a single effective proximity angle. It can be determined by calculating the difference between the external distance and the representative distance of the point and adding the absolute values. The baseline fluctuation coefficient is the baseline fluctuation coefficient set by the staff to determine when the clothing will sway under the action of the air conditioner. When the distance fluctuation coefficient is greater than the baseline fluctuation coefficient, it indicates that clothing is present at the current effective proximity angle. Therefore, it is defined as the angle at which clothing is present for identification and subsequent analysis.

[0032] Step S104: Within the effective range of airflow, construct the range of clothing presence based on the maximum and minimum clothing presence angles, and control the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner to operate periodically within the clothing presence range.

[0033] The range of angles within which clothes are present allows for sweeping and drying of all clothing. By controlling the air conditioner's horizontal fan blades to operate periodically only within the range of clothes, ineffective angle operations can be reduced, thus avoiding energy waste.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 After the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner periodically operate within the range of clothing, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: Step S200: Determine the clothing deviation angle based on any two clothing existence angles, and group the two clothing existence angles that are less than the preset interval deviation angle into a preset initially empty single clothing set, until all clothing existence angles are within the single clothing set.

[0035] The garment deviation angle is the angle difference between the angles of two garments. The interval deviation angle is the maximum allowable garment deviation angle set by the staff when they believe that the two garments are produced by the same garment. By grouping similar garment angles into a single garment set, the garments can be effectively distinguished. At this time, a single garment set is the angle range of a garment, which facilitates the subsequent analysis of the garment's condition.

[0036] Step S201: Calculate the average of the distance fluctuation coefficients determined by the angles of each garment within the individual garment collection to determine the garment fluctuation coefficient.

[0037] The clothing fluctuation coefficient is the average value of the distance fluctuation coefficients determined within a single clothing set, which is also a parameter value that reflects the current fluctuation status of that single clothing item.

[0038] Step S202: Calculate and analyze based on the clothing fluctuation coefficient to assign drying demand weights to each individual clothing set.

[0039] The smaller the clothing fluctuation coefficient, the less the user's clothing sways under the same wind force, meaning the clothing is heavier. Theoretically, this means the clothing contains more moisture, resulting in a greater need for drying. Therefore, the drying demand weight is higher. Clothing can be sorted from smallest to largest according to their fluctuation coefficient, and the drying demand weight can be allocated based on the total number of clothes. For example, if there are 8 pieces of clothing, the clothing with the smallest fluctuation coefficient can be allocated 20%, the next 15%, and so on, ensuring that the total drying demand weight adds up to 100%. The specific allocation method can be determined by staff based on the actual situation.

[0040] Step S203: Determine the representative center angle within the individual clothing set based on the angles of the largest and smallest clothing items, and determine the range center angle within the range of clothing items.

[0041] The central angle represents the angle of the center point where the garment is located. It can be fitted as the angle of the garment's location. The range center angle represents the angle of the center point of the range where the garment exists.

[0042] Step S204: Calculate the center spacing angle based on the center angle of the range and the representative center angle, and calculate the reasonable layout coefficient based on all center spacing angles and the corresponding drying requirement weights.

[0043] The center-to-center angle refers to the angle between the center of the range and the angle representing the center. The arrangement rationality coefficient is a coefficient value that reflects whether the current arrangement of clothes meets the requirements of energy-saving drying. The larger the value, the more reasonable the current arrangement of clothes is, which is more conducive to drying under energy-saving conditions. The smaller the center-to-center angle, the more it indicates that the clothes are in the center of the current batch of clothes. Theoretically, the drying effect at the center is better than that at the edge. Therefore, clothes with a higher drying demand weight need to be closer to the center. Therefore, the arrangement rationality coefficient can be determined by sorting the clothes by center-to-center angle from small to large and comparing them with the drying demand weight. For example, the clothes with the highest drying demand weight have the smallest center-to-center angle, so the contribution value to the arrangement rationality is greater. Then, the contribution value of all the contribution values ​​is added together to obtain the arrangement rationality coefficient. The value of the drying demand weight and the contribution value obtained by the position of the center-to-center angle are determined in advance by the staff, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] Step S205: Output a layout reminder signal when the layout rationality coefficient is less than the preset benchmark rationality coefficient.

[0045] The baseline reasonableness coefficient is the minimum reasonableness coefficient that staff set for the arrangement to be considered reasonable. When the reasonableness coefficient is less than the baseline reasonableness coefficient, it indicates that the current arrangement of clothes is unreasonable. It is possible that clothes that are easy to dry are placed in the best drying position, while clothes that are difficult to dry are placed in the poorest drying position, which requires more time to dry the clothes. This does not meet the requirements of green energy saving. Therefore, a layout reminder signal is output so that users can be aware of the situation and intervene to deal with it.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 After determining the reasonable layout coefficient, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: Step S300: Determine the width of the work area based on the extent of the clothing, and determine the width of each individual clothing set.

[0047] The working range width is the horizontal width required by the horizontal fan blades, and the individual collection width is the width occupied by a single piece of clothing.

[0048] Step S301: Calculate and determine the available space width based on the work scope width and the width of the individual sets.

[0049] The free space width refers to the width of the area within the clothing's range that is not occupied by clothing.

[0050] Step S302: Count the individual garment sets to determine the number of dry garments, and calculate the theoretical interval width based on the range empty width and the number of dry garments.

[0051] The number of clothes to be dried is the number of clothes that need to be dried. It can be determined by counting the individual sets of clothes. The theoretical spacing width is the width at which each piece of clothing can be effectively spaced under theoretical conditions. It is determined by dividing the range of empty space by the number of clothes to be dried minus one.

[0052] Step S303: Determine the actual interval width based on each adjacent set of individual garments, and calculate the effective interval parameter based on all actual interval widths and theoretical interval widths.

[0053] The actual interval width is the angle between the current adjacent sets of individual garments. The effective interval parameter is the parameter value that reflects the reasonableness of the current interval width between garments. It is determined by calculating the difference between each actual interval width and the theoretical interval width and then calculating the reciprocal of the sum of the absolute values.

[0054] Step S304: Determine the interval compensation coefficient corresponding to the effective interval parameter according to the preset compensation matching relationship, and update the reasonable arrangement coefficient according to the interval compensation coefficient.

[0055] The interval compensation coefficient is a parameter value that reflects the rationality of clothing arrangement, obtained by analyzing the interval width. Different effective interval parameters correspond to different interval compensation coefficients. The larger the effective interval parameter, the larger the corresponding interval compensation coefficient. The compensation matching relationship between the two is determined in advance by the staff. By adding the interval compensation coefficient to the arrangement rationality coefficient, the arrangement rationality coefficient can be updated better, thus facilitating a more accurate analysis of the clothing arrangement.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 After the arrangement of reminder signals, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: Step S400: Calculate the difference based on the layout rationality coefficient and the benchmark rationality coefficient to determine the rationality difference coefficient.

[0057] The reasonable difference coefficient is the coefficient value that is still far from meeting the requirements of the layout. It is determined by subtracting the layout reasonable coefficient from the benchmark reasonable coefficient.

[0058] Step S401: Calculate the remaining compensation coefficient based on the current interval compensation coefficient and the preset optimal compensation coefficient.

[0059] The optimal compensation coefficient is the interval compensation coefficient that can be presented when the interval width between each garment is the theoretical interval width. The remaining compensation coefficient is the compensation value that can be increased by adjusting the garments horizontally. It is determined by subtracting the interval compensation coefficient from the optimal compensation coefficient.

[0060] Step S402: Determine whether the remaining compensation coefficient is greater than the reasonable difference coefficient.

[0061] The purpose of the judgment is to determine whether a reasonable arrangement can be achieved by adjusting the width between the clothes horizontally.

[0062] Step S4021: If the remaining compensation coefficient is not greater than the reasonable difference coefficient, then output the position adjustment signal.

[0063] When the remaining compensation coefficient is not greater than the reasonable difference coefficient, it means that the clothing arrangement requirements cannot be met by adjusting the spacing between the clothes laterally. Therefore, the position adjustment signal is output to identify this situation for subsequent analysis.

[0064] Step S4022: If the remaining compensation coefficient is greater than the reasonable difference coefficient, then determine the high-quality placement area corresponding to each individual clothing set based on the theoretical interval width within the range of clothing existence, and display the preset adjustment time of the high-quality placement area on the air conditioner panel.

[0065] When the remaining compensation coefficient is greater than the reasonable difference coefficient, it means that the spacing between the clothes can be adjusted horizontally to make the current batch of clothes meet the arrangement requirements. At this time, the positions of the two clothes on both sides are fixed, and the optimal placement area for each piece of clothing is determined according to the theoretical spacing width within the range of clothing. The adjustment time of this area is then displayed on the air conditioner panel to provide users with the adjustment parameters for the clothing position, making it easy for users to quickly adjust the clothing to the required arrangement. The adjustment time is a fixed value set by the staff. By setting the adjustment time, users can not only know the adjustment plan, but the air conditioner panel can also be restored to normal after the adjustment time, making it convenient for users to use the air conditioner.

[0066] Reference Figure 5 After the position adjustment signal is output, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: Step S500: Randomly select any number of individual clothing sets from each individual clothing set to define them as demand change sets.

[0067] By defining a set of demand changes, we can simulate clothing items that need to be relocated, which facilitates analysis.

[0068] Step S501: Based on the set of changing demands, perform random transformations to determine the clothing adjustment plan, and under the clothing adjustment plan, perform calculations and analyses based on each new set of individual clothing items to determine the reasonableness coefficient of the arrangement.

[0069] A clothing adjustment plan is a scheme to randomly swap the positions of clothing items corresponding to each set of changing demands. For example, if there are only two sets of changing demands, A and B, then there is only one clothing adjustment plan: swapping A and B. If there are three sets of changing demands, A, B, and C, then there are two clothing adjustment plans: one is to swap A to B, B to C, and C to A; the other is to swap A to C, C to B, and B to A. By calculating and analyzing the rationality coefficient of the arrangement after the swap, it is possible to determine whether the set clothing adjustment plan meets the requirements.

[0070] Step S502: When the reasonableness coefficient of the layout is greater than the benchmark reasonableness coefficient, the corresponding clothing adjustment plan is defined as a valid adjustment plan, and the demand change set in the valid adjustment plan is counted to determine the quantity of demand change.

[0071] When the reasonableness coefficient of the arrangement is greater than the benchmark reasonableness coefficient, it means that the current clothing adjustment plan meets the clothing arrangement requirements. Therefore, it is defined as an effective adjustment plan for identification and distinction, which is convenient for subsequent analysis. The demand change quantity is the number of clothing items that need to be repositioned under the current effective adjustment plan, which is determined by counting the demand change set one by one.

[0072] Step S503: Define the effective adjustment scheme corresponding to the smallest change in demand as the optional adjustment scheme, determine the adjustment scheme to be used from all the optional adjustment schemes, and display the adjustment duration on the air conditioning panel according to the adjustment scheme to be used.

[0073] The effective adjustment scheme corresponding to the minimum change in demand is the most convenient for users to make adjustments. Therefore, optional adjustment schemes are defined to distinguish different effective adjustment schemes for easy subsequent analysis. When using an adjustment scheme, one of the adjustment schemes can be selected. It can be randomly selected or determined by referring to steps S600-S603. At this time, the adjustment scheme to be used is displayed on the air conditioner panel to provide users with a reference for adjusting the clothing room, so that users can adjust the clothing to meet the arrangement requirements.

[0074] Reference Figure 6 The steps for determining which adjustment scheme to use from all available options include: Step S600: Define the reasonable coefficient of the arrangement of each optional adjustment scheme as the reasonable optional coefficient.

[0075] Define reasonable optional coefficients to distinguish the reasonable coefficients for different arrangements, which will facilitate subsequent analysis.

[0076] Step S601: Determine the required adjustment distance for each garment according to the optional adjustment scheme, and determine the adjustment convenience coefficient corresponding to the floating coefficient of each garment according to the preset convenient matching relationship.

[0077] The adjustment distance is the angular distance that a single garment needs to be adjusted according to the optional adjustment plan. The adjustment convenience coefficient is a parameter value that reflects the ease of adjusting the position of the garment. The smaller the garment fluctuation coefficient, the heavier the garment is and the less convenient it is for the user to adjust its position. The convenience matching relationship between the two is determined in advance by the staff.

[0078] Step S602: Calculate the overall convenience coefficient based on all the required adjustment distances and the corresponding adjustment convenience coefficients.

[0079] The overall convenience factor is the value obtained by multiplying the adjustment distance of all requirements by the corresponding adjustment convenience factor and adding them all together. It is a parameter value that reflects the convenience of the user when executing the currently available adjustment scheme.

[0080] Step S603: Calculate and determine the comprehensive evaluation parameters based on the reasonable optional coefficient, the overall convenience coefficient, the preset reasonable weight, and the preset convenience weight, and determine the optional adjustment scheme corresponding to the largest comprehensive evaluation parameter as the adjustment scheme to be used.

[0081] Reasonable weight reflects the weight value of the degree of influence of reasonable optional parameters on the selection of the scheme. Convenience weight reflects the weight value of the degree of influence of the overall convenience coefficient on the selection of the scheme. Comprehensive evaluation parameter reflects the parameter value of the quality of the scheme. It is determined by multiplying the reasonable optional coefficient by the reasonable weight and adding the overall convenience coefficient by the convenience weight. At this time, the largest comprehensive evaluation parameter indicates that the corresponding optional adjustment scheme is the best overall, so it is defined as the adjustment scheme to be used.

[0082] Reference Figure 7 After the horizontal fan blades of the air conditioner periodically operate within the range of clothing, the intelligent energy-saving control method for vertical air conditioners also includes: Step S700: Determine the processing prediction time corresponding to the center interval angle and the clothing floating coefficient based on the preset prediction matching relationship.

[0083] The predicted processing time is the time required for the clothes to be dried effectively. Different center-distance angles indicate different drying effects on the clothes, and different clothing fluctuation coefficients indicate different moisture contents in the clothes. Therefore, the corresponding predicted processing time is also different. The prediction matching relationship between the three is determined by the staff in advance through multiple experiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0084] Step S701: Define the maximum processing prediction time as the upper limit processing time, and output a drying prompt signal after the upper limit processing time.

[0085] The upper limit of the processing time is defined to determine the time required to effectively dry the current batch of clothes. After the upper limit of the processing time, a drying prompt signal is output to remind the user to complete the drying process, so that the clothes can be taken out in time and the air conditioner can be turned off, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.
