[0058] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0059] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0060] To better understand the technical solution of this application, a detailed description will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0061] The main solution of this application embodiment is: to obtain the theoretical change curve of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index; to determine the theoretical environmental parameter range corresponding to the theoretical change curve in each time period through the improved thermal sensation index prediction model; and to adjust the operating state of the air conditioner based on the theoretical environmental parameter range so that the actual environmental parameters of the area where the indoor unit of the air conditioner is located are within the theoretical environmental parameter range.

[0062] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the air conditioner controller will be used as the execution subject in the following description.

[0063] In everyday home air conditioning use, the most common setting is to use a constant temperature. As user needs change, dynamic control logic is gradually emerging in the market. For example, through some intelligent linkage methods, the set temperature can be intelligently adjusted according to changes in scene, weather, and user needs. Users can also customize the temperature control curve according to their own usage habits. However, whether it is a constant set temperature or a temperature control curve, it is all to match the actual needs of users. In essence, it is to passively cater to users.

[0064] From a comfort perspective, "avoiding discomfort" belongs to the first stage of "harm avoidance and benefit"—"harm avoidance." However, to achieve a more comfortable experience, we need to consider how to improve human comfort from the perspective of the second stage—"benefit." Currently, most temperature control logics on the market essentially create an environment "without discomfort," which belongs to "harm avoidance." To achieve comfort, we must consider "benefit," which involves actively creating a "tolerable deviation" and then eliminating that deviation when there is no human need.

[0065] This application provides a solution that allows the actual environmental parameters of the area where the indoor unit of the air conditioner is located to change accordingly based on the theoretical change curve of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index, thereby adapting to the degree of thermal sensation of the human body and better meeting the user's comfort requirements.

[0066] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a control method for an air conditioner, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of a control method for an air conditioner according to the present invention.

[0067] In this embodiment, the control method for the air conditioner includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S10: Obtain the theoretical variation curve of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index.

[0069] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or air conditioner capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses an air conditioner controller as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0070] It should be understood that this embodiment and subsequent embodiments are described primarily using the air conditioner operating in cooling mode. The Adaptive Predicted Mean Vote (APMV) is an index used to judge indoor environmental comfort, obtained by optimizing the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV). The formula for calculating the Adaptive Predicted Mean Vote in this embodiment is as follows:

[0071] APMV=PMV / (1+λ×PMV))

[0072] Where PMV is the predicted average thermal sensation index, APMV is the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index, and λ is the adaptive coefficient.

[0073] In the specific implementation, refer to Figure 2 , 3 4, 5. This embodiment provides four theoretical variation curves for adaptive prediction of the average thermal sensation index. When actually controlling the air conditioner, at least one of them can be used to determine the theoretical environmental parameter range and adjust the operating state of the air conditioner. The maximum value of each theoretical variation curve is 0.2 and the minimum value is 0.

[0074] Step S20: Determine the neutral environmental parameter and the target environmental parameter based on the theoretical change curve, and the deviation between the neutral environmental parameter and the target environmental parameter is a preset deviation.

[0075] It is understood that the neutral environmental parameter refers to the environmental parameter corresponding to the minimum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index, and the target environmental parameter refers to the environmental parameter corresponding to the maximum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index. In this embodiment, the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index in the theoretical variation curve of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index is a fixed value. In this embodiment and the embodiments below, the maximum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index is 0.2, and the minimum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index is 0.

[0076] Furthermore, the environmental parameters include at least one of metabolic rate, clothing thermal resistance, air temperature, relative wind speed, average radiant temperature, and relative humidity. However, in order to improve the effectiveness of the air conditioner in controlling the environmental temperature parameters, in this embodiment, metabolic rate, thermal resistance, radiant temperature, and relative humidity are all used as constraints, and only the combination of air temperature and relative wind speed is considered.

[0077] Furthermore, determining the neutral environmental parameters and target environmental parameters based on the theoretical change curve includes:

[0078] Obtain the maximum and minimum values ​​of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index in the theoretical change curve, and the difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​is a preset difference.

[0079] The first predicted average thermal sensation index corresponding to the minimum value and the second predicted average thermal sensation index corresponding to the maximum value are determined based on adaptive coefficients.

[0080] Based on preset constraints, neutral environmental parameters corresponding to the first predicted average thermal sensation index and target environmental parameters corresponding to the second predicted average thermal sensation index are generated.

[0081] In the specific implementation, since the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index of each time period in the theoretical change curve can be directly read, when determining the predicted average thermal sensation index corresponding to the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index of each time period based on the adaptive coefficient, the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index can be restored by the above formula (1), and then the first predicted average thermal sensation index corresponding to the minimum value of the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index and the second predicted average thermal sensation index corresponding to the maximum value of the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index can be obtained.

[0082] In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the adaptive coefficient λ is:

[0083]

[0084] Wherein, TSV is the actual user thermal sensation voting result, which can be obtained from the voting results pre-stored in the database; PMV is the predicted average thermal sensation index; aPMV is the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index; and λ is the adaptive coefficient.

[0085] The adaptive coefficient λ is related to the sign of the predicted average thermal sensation index, specifically:

[0086]

[0087] In this embodiment and subsequent embodiments, PMV is greater than 0, i.e., λ is 0.467, as an example for illustration.

[0088] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the preset constraints are that metabolic rate, thermal resistance, radiant temperature, and relative humidity are all known quantities, and only ambient temperature and relative wind speed are retained as variables. Among them, radiant temperature can be approximated to ambient temperature, relative humidity ranges from 40% to 60%, metabolic rate is 1, and thermal resistance is 0.5. Therefore, based on the restored predicted average thermal sensation index, at least one combination of ambient temperature and relative wind speed parameters is obtained through the improved thermal sensation index prediction model for subsequent air conditioner control.

[0089] Step S30: Control the operation of the air conditioner so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located change periodically between the neutral environmental parameters and the target environmental parameters.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner controls the environmental parameters of the indoor environment, it is difficult to ensure that the indoor environmental parameters are at a fixed value. In order to improve the control efficiency of the air conditioner, this embodiment only needs to ensure that the actual environmental parameters of the area where the indoor unit of the air conditioner is located are within the theoretical environmental parameter range and change periodically within the theoretical environmental parameter range. That is, the indoor environmental parameters are considered to meet the user's comfort requirements. This achieves the effect of improving the user's comfort experience by eliminating temperature and wind speed deviations within the user's tolerance deviation range.

[0091] Furthermore, controlling the operation of the air conditioner includes:

[0092] Control at least one of the following: the operating frequency of the compressor in the air conditioner, the operating mode of the air conditioner, the fan speed, increasing the air outlet area, and starting the compressor.

[0093] In specific implementation, since this embodiment only adjusts the indoor ambient temperature and relative wind speed to make them conform to their respective theoretical environmental parameter ranges, in order to achieve this effect, at least one of the following can be adjusted: the operating mode of the air conditioner, the operating frequency of the compressor, and the fan speed. Alternatively, the opening degree of each throttling device in the air conditioner can be adjusted. For air conditioners with enthalpy-increasing circuits or electric auxiliary heating devices, the operating status of the enthalpy-increasing circuits or electric auxiliary heating devices can also be adjusted to achieve control of indoor environmental parameters.

[0094] This embodiment obtains the theoretical change curve of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index; determines neutral environmental parameters and target environmental parameters based on the theoretical change curve, and sets the deviation between the neutral environmental parameters and the target environmental parameters as a preset deviation; controls the operation of the air conditioner so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located change periodically between the neutral environmental parameters and the target environmental parameters. This allows the actual environmental parameters of the area where the air conditioner indoor unit is located to change accordingly according to the theoretical change curve of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index, adapting to the degree of human thermal sensation, better meeting the user's comfort requirements, and avoiding the technical problem in the prior art where the control logic of the air conditioner does not consider the factor of human thermal sensation, resulting in poor comfort.

[0095] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in the first embodiment described above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 6 Step S30 includes:

[0096] Step S301: When the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reach the neutral environmental parameters, control the operation of the air conditioner so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the target environmental parameters.

[0097] In this embodiment and the following embodiments, the neutral environmental parameter refers to the neutral indoor temperature and / or the neutral fan speed. Similarly, the target environmental parameter includes at least the target indoor temperature and the target fan speed. If the target environmental parameter is greater than the neutral environmental parameter, the corresponding target indoor temperature is greater than the neutral indoor temperature, and the target fan speed is greater than the neutral fan speed.

[0098] Specifically, the neutral indoor temperature is the temperature point in the current environment where users feel neither too hot nor too cold; it can be considered the user's comfort temperature. When the indoor space temperature reaches the target neutral temperature, the human body can maintain a normal body temperature while oxygen consumption and metabolic rate are at their lowest. Different users correspond to different target neutral temperatures, and the target neutral temperature may differ depending on the user's physical state (e.g., exercise and / or metabolic rate). Similarly, the neutral fan speed is the airflow speed in the current environment that users feel comfortable with.

[0099] Furthermore, the step of controlling the operation of the air conditioner when the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner's indoor unit is located reach the neutral environmental parameter, so as to cause the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space to change towards the target environmental parameter, includes:

[0100] The first duration for which the minimum adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index is obtained from the theoretical change curve;

[0101] When the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reach the neutral environmental parameters, after the first duration, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the target environmental parameters.

[0102] The durations of the maximum and minimum values ​​of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index differ across different theoretical variation curves. For example: Figure 2 The duration of the maximum value of the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index should be less than the duration of the minimum value of the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index. Correspondingly, the duration of the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner is located reaching the neutral environmental parameters should also be less than the duration of the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner is located reaching the target environmental parameters.

[0103] In the specific implementation, Figure 2 The minimum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index in the step-like theoretical change curve shown is 0, corresponding to a neutral ambient temperature of 25.5℃ and a neutral fan speed of 0.1m / s. That is, the operating state of the air conditioner will be adjusted within 0-30 minutes to keep the indoor ambient temperature at 25.5℃ and stable, and the ambient wind speed at less than 0.1m / s.

[0104] Furthermore, controlling the operation of the air conditioner to cause the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space to change towards the target environmental parameters includes:

[0105] The air conditioner is controlled to operate so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the target environmental parameters at a first rate.

[0106] The first rate is determined based on the rate at which the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index increases from its minimum to its maximum value in the theoretical change curve. Theoretically, the first rate at which the actual environmental parameters change from neutral environmental parameters to target environmental parameters is the same as the rate at which the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index increases from its minimum to its maximum value.

[0107] Step S302: When the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reach the target environmental parameters, control the operation of the air conditioner so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the neutral environmental parameters.

[0108] In this embodiment, in order to improve the user experience, the operating status of the air conditioner is controlled so that the environmental parameters in the indoor space change periodically between neutral environmental parameters and target environmental parameters. This allows the environmental parameters in the indoor space to fluctuate slightly within an acceptable deviation range for the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0109] Furthermore, the step of controlling the operation of the air conditioner when the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner's indoor unit is located reach the target environmental parameters, so as to cause the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space to change towards the neutral environmental parameters, includes:

[0110] The second duration for obtaining the maximum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index in the theoretical change curve;

[0111] When the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner is located reach the neutral environmental parameters, after the second duration, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the target environmental parameters.

[0112] Depending on the different theoretical variation curves, the first duration and the second duration differ. The first duration ranges from 5 to 40 minutes, and the second duration ranges from 0 to 35 minutes. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on these. For ease of explanation, this embodiment will use a first duration of 30 minutes and a second duration of 30 minutes as an example.

[0113] Specifically, after the air conditioner has been running continuously for more than the first continuous running time, i.e. more than 30 minutes, the air conditioner can be switched from cooling mode to ventilation mode to avoid continuous cooling, raise the indoor temperature, and increase the fan speed so that the relative wind speed in the indoor environment increases from less than 0.1m / s to 0.3m / s. When the temperature rises to 27.3℃, the ambient temperature is stabilized at 27.3℃ by controlling the compressor frequency.

[0114] Until the end of the second continuous running period, i.e., after more than 60 minutes, the environmental parameters of the indoor space will change towards the neutral environmental parameters. Once the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space reach the neutral environmental parameters, the operation of the air conditioner will be restarted to change the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space towards the target environmental parameters. Specifically, within 60-90 minutes, the air conditioner will be switched from the fan mode back to the cooling mode, lowering the ambient temperature to 25.5°C and maintaining that temperature, while reducing the ambient wind speed to below 0.1 m / s, thus completing the control of the air conditioner.

[0115] It is understood that the control of indoor environmental parameters in this embodiment can be broken down into a regular cycle of temperature and air combination: (25.5℃, 0.1m / s) → (27.3℃, 0.3m / s) → (25.5℃, 0.1m / s) → (27.3℃, 0.3m / s).

[0116] Furthermore, controlling the operation of the air conditioner to cause the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space to change toward the target environmental parameters includes:

[0117] The air conditioner is controlled to operate so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the neutral environmental parameters at a second rate.

[0118] The second rate is determined based on the rate at which the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index decreases from its maximum value to its minimum value in the theoretical change curve. Theoretically, the first rate at which the actual environmental parameter changes from the neutral environmental parameter to the target environmental parameter is the same as the rate at which the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index decreases from its maximum value to its minimum value.

[0119] In specific implementation, for Figure 2 The theoretical change curve has an upward and downward rate ranging from 0.005aPMV / min to 0.04aPMV / min, with the upward rate being less than the downward rate. Since the difference between the first and second thresholds is fixed at 0.2, the corresponding upward duration is greater than the downward duration.

[0120] for Figure 3 The theoretical change curve in the model shows that the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index is stepped, with both the rise duration and fall duration being 0.

[0121] for Figure 4The theoretical change curve has an upward and downward rate ranging from 0.005aPMV / min to 0.04aPMV / min, with the upward rate being less than the downward rate. Since the difference between the first threshold and the second threshold is fixed at 0.2, the corresponding upward duration is greater than the downward duration. Furthermore, in this theoretical change curve, the second duration corresponding to the second threshold is less than the first duration corresponding to the first threshold.

[0122] for Figure 5 The theoretical change curve has an ascent rate and a descent rate ranging from 0.005aPMV / min to 0.04aPMV / min, with the ascent rate being greater than the descent rate. Since the difference between the first threshold and the second threshold is fixed at 0.2, the corresponding ascent duration is less than the descent duration. Furthermore, in this theoretical change curve, the first duration corresponding to the first threshold is less than the second duration corresponding to the second threshold.

[0123] In this embodiment, when the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner's indoor unit is located reach the neutral environmental parameters, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the target environmental parameters; and when the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner's indoor unit is located reach the target environmental parameters, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the neutral environmental parameters, thereby realizing dynamic changes in the environmental parameters of the indoor space. This improves the user experience by eliminating temperature and wind speed deviations within the user's tolerance range.

[0124] Based on the second embodiment described above, a third embodiment of this application is proposed, with reference to... Figure 7 In this embodiment, the control method for the air conditioner further includes:

[0125] Step S40: Upon receiving a user's temperature adjustment command, determine the target neutral indoor temperature corresponding to the temperature adjustment command.

[0126] Since users have different target neutral temperatures under different human body states (such as exercise state and / or metabolic rate), in order to make indoor users more comfortable, this embodiment can comprehensively adjust the target neutral temperature of the indoor space according to the neutral indoor temperature set by each user, thereby improving the user experience. For example, when there are multiple users in the indoor space at the same time, the mean or mode of the comfort temperature set by each user can be used as the neutral indoor temperature. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0127] Furthermore, the target environmental parameters include at least the target indoor temperature;

[0128] After determining the target neutral indoor temperature corresponding to the temperature adjustment command, the method further includes:

[0129] The target indoor temperature is adjusted based on a preset temperature threshold and a target neutral indoor temperature.

[0130] The target fan speed corresponding to the adjusted target indoor temperature is calculated based on the maximum value of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index.

[0131] In this embodiment, since there is a preset deviation between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index (aPMV), the corresponding neutral indoor temperature when the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index (aPMV) is 0 and the target indoor temperature when the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index (aPMV) is 0.2 are also fixed values. The preset temperature threshold can be in the range of 1.8-2℃.

[0132] Step S50: Calculate the target neutral fan speed corresponding to the target neutral indoor temperature based on the minimum value of the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index.

[0133] Furthermore, the control method for the air conditioner also includes:

[0134] When the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reaches the target neutral indoor temperature, and the fan speed of the air conditioner indoor unit reaches the target neutral fan speed, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled so that the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space changes toward the adjusted target indoor temperature, and the fan speed changes toward the target fan speed.

[0135] When the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reaches the target indoor temperature and the fan speed of the air conditioner indoor unit reaches the target fan speed, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled so that the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space changes toward the target neutral indoor temperature and the fan speed changes toward the target neutral fan speed.

[0136] For example, 25.5℃ is the neutral temperature for users. Since the neutral temperature of different users is different, if the neutral temperature of a user is adjusted to 26℃, the target neutral fan speed corresponding to the target neutral temperature can be recalculated based on the adaptive predicted average thermal perception index (aPMV) being 0. The target indoor temperature when the adaptive predicted average thermal perception index is at its maximum value can be adjusted based on the preset temperature threshold. That is, when the indoor temperature rises to the adaptive predicted average thermal perception index (aPMV) of 0.2, corresponding to a temperature of 27.8℃, the corresponding target fan speed is recalculated.

[0137] This embodiment adjusts the neutral fan speed in the indoor unit when the neutral indoor temperature changes. This allows the air conditioner to periodically adjust the indoor temperature and fan speed within a certain deviation range during subsequent adjustments, thereby improving the user experience by eliminating temperature and fan speed deviations within the user's tolerance range.

[0138] This application also provides a control device for an air conditioner; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 8 The control device of the air conditioner includes:

[0145] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 30 is further configured to control the operation of the air conditioner so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the target environmental parameters at a first rate.

[0146] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 30 is further configured to obtain a second duration for the maximum value of the adaptive predicted average thermal sensation index in the theoretical change curve; when the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reach the neutral environmental parameter, after the second duration, the operation of the air conditioner is controlled to cause the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space to change toward the target environmental parameter.

[0147] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 30 is further configured to control the operation of the air conditioner so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space change toward the neutral environmental parameters at a second rate; wherein the first rate and the second rate are determined according to the theoretical change curve.

[0150] In one embodiment, the adjustment module 30 is further configured to control the operation of the air conditioner when the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reaches the target neutral indoor temperature and the fan speed of the air conditioner indoor unit reaches the target neutral fan speed, so that the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space changes toward the adjusted target indoor temperature and the fan speed changes toward the target fan speed; and when the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located reaches the adjusted target indoor temperature and the fan speed of the air conditioner indoor unit reaches the target fan speed, control the operation of the air conditioner to make the indoor ambient temperature of the indoor space change toward the target neutral indoor temperature and the fan speed change toward the target neutral fan speed.

[0151] This embodiment obtains the theoretical change curve of the adaptively predicted average thermal sensation index; determines neutral environmental parameters and target environmental parameters based on the theoretical change curve, and sets the deviation between the neutral environmental parameters and the target environmental parameters as a preset deviation; controls the operation of the air conditioner so that the actual environmental parameters of the indoor space where the air conditioner indoor unit is located change periodically between the neutral environmental parameters and the target environmental parameters.
