[0002] When the air conditioner is cooling or heating, the indoor air can enter the air conditioner and exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger under the drive of the fan. The air after heat exchange can be sent into the indoor environment through the air outlet.

[0059] 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.

[0060] The main solution of this application embodiment is: a control method based on an air conditioner, wherein the air conditioner body is provided with multiple air outlets, including an upper air outlet, a left air outlet, and a right air outlet, the height of the left air outlet and the height of the right air outlet are both lower than the upper air outlet, the method includes: obtaining a first indoor temperature of the indoor space regulated by the air conditioner; determining air outlet control parameters of the upper air outlet, the left air outlet, and the right air outlet based on the first indoor temperature; and controlling the operation of the air conditioner based on the air outlet control parameters.

[0061] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the following description uses an air conditioner as the subject of execution.

[0062] Because some existing air conditioners have only one air outlet, the airflow is too concentrated and may blow directly on the user, affecting comfort. Other air conditioners have air outlets on both sides, and the air after heat exchange is distributed to the air outlets on both sides, which can lead to poor temperature regulation efficiency in the middle and far areas, affecting indoor comfort.

[0063] This application provides the above-mentioned solution, which adapts to the actual indoor temperature conditions by using the air conditioner's multiple air outlets to quickly adjust the temperature of different areas of the indoor environment to a comfortable state, thereby effectively improving the temperature regulation efficiency of different areas of the indoor environment and enhancing indoor comfort.

[0064] This application provides an air conditioner. In this embodiment, the air conditioner is a floor-standing air conditioner. In other embodiments, the air conditioner may also be a window air conditioner, etc.

[0065] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The air conditioner body 1 is provided with multiple air outlets, including an upper air outlet 101, a left air outlet 102 and a right air outlet 103. The height of the left air outlet 102 and the height of the right air outlet 103 are both lower than the upper air outlet 101.

[0066] The first unit here is designed to be installed indoors on the ground.

The left air outlet 102 is located in the first area, the upper air outlet 101 is located in the second area, and the right air outlet 103 is located in the third area.

[0068] Both the left air outlet 102 and the right air outlet 103 are equipped with an upper and lower air guide assembly and a left and right air guide assembly. The upper and lower air guide assembly can be used to adjust the air outlet direction and air volume in the vertical direction, and the left and right air guide assembly can be used to adjust the air outlet direction and air volume in the horizontal direction.

[0069] The upper air outlet 101 may be equipped with an air outlet component, which may include a first air guide component and / or a second air guide component. The first air guide component can be used to adjust the air outlet direction and air volume of the upper air outlet 101 in the vertical direction, and the second air guide component can be used to adjust the air outlet direction and air volume of the corresponding upper air outlet 101 in the horizontal direction.

[0071] When the reversing assembly is running in the first operating state, the exhaust port of the compressor 4 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger, and the return port of the compressor 4 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger. The refrigerant discharged by the compressor 4 flows through the indoor heat exchanger, the throttling device and the outdoor heat exchanger in sequence and then flows back to the compressor 4.

The refrigerant discharged by compressor 4 flows through the outdoor heat exchanger, the throttling device and the indoor heat exchanger in sequence and then flows back to compressor 4. The indoor heat exchanger is in the evaporation state, and the outdoor heat exchanger is in the condensation state. The indoor heat exchanger can release cold energy to reduce the indoor ambient temperature.

The following description uses an air conditioner as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0085] Based on this, this application provides a control method for an air conditioner, applied to the aforementioned air conditioner, with reference to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the control method for the air conditioner of this application.

[0086] In this embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner includes steps S10 to S30:

[0087] Step S10: Obtain the first indoor temperature of the indoor space regulated by the air conditioner;

[0088] The first indoor temperature can be detected by the aforementioned temperature sensor.

[0089] Step S10 is executed during the operation of the air conditioner in either cooling or heating mode. When the air conditioner is in heating mode, the commutation component operates in a first operating state; when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the commutation component operates in a second operating state.

[0090] Step S20: Determine the air outlet control parameters of the upper air outlet, the left air outlet, and the right air outlet based on the first indoor temperature;

[0091] Air outlet control parameters are parameters used to adjust at least one air outlet characteristic, such as the opening or closing of multiple air outlets, air volume, and air outlet direction. The air outlet control parameters include a first control parameter for the upper air outlet, a second control parameter for the left air outlet, and a third control parameter for the right air outlet. The first, second, and third control parameters may each include at least one of the following: opening / closing control parameter, air outlet direction control parameter, air volume control parameter, air outlet temperature control parameter, etc.

[0092] The correspondence between the first indoor temperature and the air outlet control parameters can be a pre-set fixed relationship, or it can be determined based on the current operating mode of the air conditioner, or it can be determined based on the current compressor frequency and / or indoor fan speed of the air conditioner. Based on this correspondence, the air outlet control parameters corresponding to the current first indoor temperature can be determined.

[0093] In one implementation, the air supply control parameters can be determined based on the temperature range of the first indoor temperature. In another implementation, the air supply control parameters can be determined based on the relationship between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0094] Step S30: Control the operation of the air conditioner according to the air outlet control parameters.

[0095] The air outlet assembly at the top is controlled according to a first control parameter, the air guide assembly at the left air outlet is controlled according to a second control parameter, and the air guide assembly at the right air outlet is controlled according to a third control parameter. And / or, target air outlet temperatures are determined for multiple air outlets based on the first, second, and third control parameters, and the compressor and / or indoor fan and / or throttling device and / or outdoor fan and / or electric heating device in the indoor duct are controlled according to the target air outlet temperatures.

[0096] This embodiment provides a control method for an air conditioner. Based on an air conditioner equipped with an upper air outlet, a left air outlet, and a right air outlet, the air outlets are controlled according to the indoor temperature of the indoor space regulated by the air conditioner. This adapts to the actual indoor temperature by coordinating the airflow from the multiple air outlets of the air conditioner to quickly adjust the temperature of different areas of the indoor environment to a comfortable state, effectively improving the temperature regulation efficiency of different areas of the indoor environment and enhancing indoor comfort.

[0097] In one feasible implementation, both the left air outlet and the right air outlet are provided with an upper and lower air guiding assembly and a left and right air guiding assembly. The step of determining the air outlet control parameters of the upper air outlet, the left air outlet, and the right air outlet based on the first indoor temperature includes:

[0098] The air outlet control parameters are determined based on the first indoor temperature and the set temperature. The air outlet control parameters include the opening and closing control parameters of the upper air outlet, the first air guiding parameters of the upper and lower air guiding components corresponding to the left and right air outlets, and the second air guiding parameters of the left and right air guiding components, respectively.

[0099] The air outlet control parameters include the opening and closing control parameters of the upper air outlet, the first air guiding parameter of the left air outlet, the second air guiding parameter of the left air outlet, the first air guiding parameter of the right air outlet, and the second air guiding parameter of the right air outlet. The first air guiding parameter may include directional airflow or oscillating airflow. When the first air guiding parameter includes directional airflow, it may also include the airflow angle; when the first air guiding parameter includes oscillating airflow, it may also include the oscillation angle range. The second air guiding parameter may include directional airflow or oscillating airflow. When the second air guiding parameter includes directional airflow, it may also include the airflow angle; when the second air guiding parameter includes oscillating airflow, it may also include the oscillation angle range.

[0100] In this embodiment, the air outlet control parameters are determined based on the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature. In other embodiments, the air outlet control parameters may also be determined based on the relationship between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, if the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters are determined to include the upper air outlet being open, the first air guiding parameter including upward airflow at a first angle, and the second air guiding parameter including oscillating airflow; and / or, if the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters are determined to include the upper air outlet being closed, the first air guiding parameter including upward airflow at a second angle, and the second air guiding parameter including directional airflow; wherein, the first angle is greater than the second angle, and both the first angle and the second angle are the angles between the upper and lower air guiding components and the horizontal direction.

[0102] The first angle and the second angle can be preset fixed angles, or they can be determined according to the actual operation of the air conditioner. For example, the first angle can be determined based on the temperature difference between the initial indoor temperature and the set temperature when the cooling mode is started, the running time of the cooling mode, and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature. The second angle can be determined based on the first angle, the temperature difference between the air outlet temperature at the top air outlet and the air outlet temperature at the left air outlet, the temperature difference between the air outlet temperature at the top air outlet and the air outlet temperature at the right air outlet, and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0103] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, both the left and right air outlets remain open.

[0104] Among them, the opening and closing control parameters include when the upper air outlet is open, and may also include air being sent upward at a fifth angle, which is conducive to the sinking of cold air and improves cooling efficiency.

[0105] In this embodiment, upward airflow means the air outlet direction is obliquely upward relative to the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, the air outlet direction corresponding to the second angle is along the horizontal direction. In other embodiments, the air outlet direction corresponding to the second angle may also be other angles close to the horizontal direction, such as obliquely upward or obliquely downward.

[0106] When the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, the second air guiding parameter includes oscillating air supply within the target angle range. The target angle range can be a preset fixed range or an angle range determined according to the actual operation of the air conditioner. For example, the target angle range can be determined based on the first angle and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0107] When the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the second air guiding parameter includes directional air supply at a target angle. The target angle can be a preset fixed angle or an angle determined according to the actual operation of the air conditioner. For example, the target angle can be determined based on the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0108] In this embodiment, air guide components with different directions are set for the left and right air outlets respectively. Based on this, the opening and closing of the upper air outlet and the air outlet direction of the left and right air outlets are controlled by combining the indoor temperature and the set temperature. This ensures that the upper air outlet, left air outlet and right air outlet work together to achieve the set temperature in different areas of the indoor space quickly and accurately, effectively improving indoor comfort. In cooling mode, when the indoor temperature is high, the cooling demand is greater. At this time, with the left and right air outlets open, the top air outlet is also opened to increase the cooling capacity. Furthermore, the upward airflow from the left and right air outlets, along with the oscillating airflow, helps the cold air sink and increases the turbulence of the cold air in the indoor space, allowing the cold air to quickly reach different areas of the indoor space, thereby effectively improving the cooling efficiency of different areas of the indoor space. In cooling mode, when the indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the cooling demand is less. At this time, with the left and right air outlets open, the top air outlet is closed to reduce the cooling capacity. Furthermore, the upper and lower air guide components of the left and right air outlets deliver air in a near-horizontal direction while also directing the airflow in a directional manner, which can reduce indoor air turbulence. This helps to maintain the indoor temperature at a comfortable state close to the set temperature, effectively improving the indoor cooling comfort.

[0109] In other embodiments, when the air conditioner is in heating mode, if the first indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters can be determined to include the upper air outlet being open, the first air guiding parameter including downward airflow at a first target angle, and the second air guiding parameter including oscillating airflow; if the first indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters can be determined to include the upper air outlet being closed, the first air guiding parameter including downward airflow at a second target angle, and the second air guiding parameter including directional airflow, wherein the first target angle and the second target angle are both the angles between the upper and lower air guiding components and the horizontal direction, and the first target angle is greater than the second target angle.

[0110] In other embodiments, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, if the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters are determined to include the upper air outlet being open, the first air guiding parameter including upward airflow at a first angle, and the second air guiding parameter including directional airflow at a sixth angle; if the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters are determined to include the upper air outlet being closed, the first air guiding parameter including airflow at a second angle, and the second air guiding parameter including directional airflow at a seventh angle, wherein the sixth angle is less than the seventh angle, and the sixth and seventh angles are both the angles between the left and right air guiding components and the reference plane, and the reference plane is a vertical plane perpendicular to the corresponding air outlet, that is, when the temperature is high, the airflow is directed forward, and when the temperature is low, the airflow is directed to the sides to avoid cold air blowing in.

[0111] In one feasible implementation, the step of determining that the opening / closing control parameters include closing the upper air outlet, the first air guiding parameter includes supplying air at a second angle, and the second air guiding parameter includes directional air supply when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature includes: determining that the opening / closing control parameters include closing the upper air outlet, supplying air at a second angle, and the second air guiding parameter includes directional air supply at a third angle when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to a first preset temperature difference; determining that the opening / closing control parameters include closing the upper air outlet, supplying air at a second angle, and the second air guiding parameter includes directional air supply at a fourth angle when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the first indoor temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference; wherein, the air volume corresponding to the third angle is greater than the air volume corresponding to the fourth angle.

[0112] In this embodiment, the air volume corresponding to the fourth angle is the minimum air volume of the corresponding air outlet. The air volume corresponding to the third angle is less than the maximum air volume of the corresponding air outlet.

[0113] The third and / or fourth angles can be preset fixed angles or angles determined based on the actual operation of the air conditioner. For example, the third and / or fourth angles can be determined based on the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature, as well as the second angle.

[0114] In this embodiment, the first preset temperature difference is 0, meaning that when the first indoor temperature equals the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters are determined to include the upper air outlet being closed, the first air guiding parameter including airflow at a second angle, and the second air guiding parameter including directional airflow at a third angle. When the first indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature, the opening and closing control parameters are determined to include the upper air outlet being closed, the first air guiding parameter including airflow at a second angle, and the second air guiding parameter including directional airflow at a fourth angle. In other embodiments, the first preset temperature difference may also be other values ​​greater than 0.

[0115] In this embodiment, when the indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the left and right air outlets output air at a larger volume when the indoor temperature is close to the set temperature, and output air at a smaller volume when the indoor temperature is too low. This helps to prevent the indoor temperature from becoming too cold and keeps the indoor temperature in a range close to the set temperature, which helps to further improve the indoor cooling comfort.

[0116] In other embodiments, the angle at which the left and right air guide components direct airflow when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature can also be a fixed angle.

[0117] Based on any of the above embodiments, in the second embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. In addition, the air conditioner also includes an indoor fan, an outdoor fan, and a compressor; please refer to... Figure 4 After step S30, step S40 is also included:

[0118] Step S40: Control the operation of the indoor fan and / or the compressor and / or the outdoor fan according to the first indoor temperature.

[0119] The indoor fan speed can be increased, decreased, or maintained based on the first indoor temperature. Alternatively, a first speed limit value for the indoor fan can be determined based on the first indoor temperature, and the indoor fan can be controlled to operate at a speed within the range corresponding to the first speed limit value.

[0120] The compressor frequency can be increased, decreased, or maintained based on the first indoor temperature. Alternatively, a frequency limit value for the compressor can be determined based on the first indoor temperature, and the compressor can be controlled to operate at a frequency within the frequency range corresponding to the frequency limit value.

[0121] The outdoor fan speed can be increased, decreased, or maintained based on the first outdoor temperature. Alternatively, a second speed limit value for the outdoor fan can be determined based on the first outdoor temperature, and the outdoor fan can be controlled to operate at a speed within the range corresponding to the second speed limit value.

[0122] In this embodiment, based on the air volume and direction of the first indoor temperature adjustment air outlet and the left and right air outlets, the operation of the first indoor temperature adjustment compressor and / or indoor fan and / or outdoor fan is adapted to adjust the air outlet temperature of each air outlet. This is beneficial to achieve coordinated air output from each air outlet so that the temperature in different areas of the room can be quickly adjusted to a comfortable temperature, thereby further improving the temperature regulation efficiency and comfort of different areas.

[0123] In one feasible implementation, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the step of controlling the operation of the indoor fan and / or the compressor and / or the outdoor fan according to the first indoor temperature includes: when the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than a second preset temperature difference, controlling the indoor fan to increase its speed and / or controlling the outdoor fan to increase its speed and / or controlling the compressor to increase its frequency; and / or, when the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, controlling the indoor fan to adjust its operating speed according to the temperature difference between the indoor space temperature and the set temperature and / or controlling the outdoor fan to adjust its operating speed according to the outdoor ambient temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located and / or controlling the compressor to adjust its frequency according to the temperature difference between the indoor space temperature and the set temperature; and / or, when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, controlling the indoor fan to decrease its speed and / or controlling the outdoor fan to operate at a speed less than or equal to the current speed and / or controlling the compressor to decrease its frequency.

[0124] The second preset temperature difference in this embodiment refers to the same concept as the second preset temperature difference described above.

[0125] The first speed adjustment value when the indoor fan speed is increased and / or decreased can be a preset fixed value, or it can be a value determined according to the actual operating conditions of the air conditioner. For example, the heat exchange area of ​​the indoor heat exchanger near the upper air outlet is defined as the first area, the heat exchange area of ​​the indoor heat exchanger near the left air outlet is defined as the second area, and the heat exchange area of ​​the indoor heat exchanger near the right air outlet is defined as the third area. The first speed adjustment value is determined according to the relationship between the temperature of the first area, the temperature of the second area, the temperature of the third area and the target air outlet temperature of the air conditioner.

[0126] The second speed adjustment value when the outdoor fan speed is increased and / or decreased can be a preset fixed value, or it can be a value determined according to the actual operating conditions of the air conditioner. For example, the second speed adjustment value can be determined according to the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger and the current frequency of the compressor.

[0127] The frequency adjustment value when the compressor increases and / or decreases the frequency can be a preset fixed value, or it can be a value determined according to the actual operating conditions of the air conditioner. For example, the frequency adjustment value can be determined based on the temperature difference between the air outlet temperature at the top, left, and right air outlets and the set temperature.

[0128] When the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference, the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan can be controlled to increase their speed and / or the compressor can be controlled to increase their frequency at set intervals until the first condition is met. The first condition includes reaching the corresponding highest operating parameter (highest speed or highest frequency) or the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference or the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature.

[0129] When the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be controlled at intervals according to the above method to adjust the operating parameters until the second condition is met. The second condition includes reaching the corresponding limit operating parameters (maximum speed or maximum frequency or minimum speed or minimum frequency) or the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference or the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature.

[0130] When the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the indoor fan can be controlled to reduce its speed and / or the outdoor fan can be controlled to operate at a speed less than or equal to the current speed and / or the compressor can be controlled to reduce its frequency until a third condition is met. The third condition includes reaching the corresponding minimum operating parameter (minimum speed or minimum frequency) or the first indoor temperature being greater than or equal to the set temperature.

[0131] When the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the indoor temperature may include the first indoor temperature or the real-time temperature of the indoor space detected after the first indoor temperature. The indoor fan speed is adjusted according to the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature to bring the indoor temperature to the set temperature. Different ambient temperature ranges correspond to different outdoor fan speeds, and the speed corresponding to the ambient temperature range in which the outdoor ambient temperature is located can be determined as the target operating speed of the outdoor fan. The compressor frequency is adjusted according to the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature to bring the indoor temperature to the set temperature.

[0132] In the process of adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor based on the indoor temperature and the set temperature, the control is based on the GA algorithm.

[0133] In this embodiment, when the first indoor temperature is significantly higher than the set temperature, increasing the speed of the indoor fan, the outdoor fan, and the compressor frequency facilitates a rapid increase in the air conditioner's cooling capacity. When the first indoor temperature is higher than the set temperature but the temperature difference is small, adjusting the indoor fan speed and / or compressor frequency according to the temperature difference between the indoor space and the set temperature helps ensure that the air conditioner's cooling capacity is neither too high nor too low, ensuring that the indoor temperature accurately reaches the set temperature. Adjusting the outdoor fan speed according to the outdoor ambient temperature helps ensure that the cooling capacity meets indoor comfort requirements while effectively improving the air conditioner's operational reliability. When the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the cooling demand is low. Reducing the speed of the indoor fan, the outdoor fan, and the compressor frequency helps reduce the air conditioner's cooling capacity output, preventing the indoor temperature from being too low and affecting indoor comfort, ensuring that the indoor temperature is accurately maintained within the set temperature range that meets comfort requirements. Based on this, precise control of the cooling capacity can be achieved through the above methods, and with the air outlet control of the multiple air outlets, the temperature in different areas of the indoor space can be accurately achieved to a comfortable temperature for the user.

[0134] In other embodiments, when the air conditioner is operating in heating mode, if the first indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than a second preset temperature difference, the indoor fan is controlled to increase its speed and / or the outdoor fan is controlled to increase its speed and / or the compressor is controlled to increase its frequency; and / or, if the first indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the indoor fan is controlled to adjust its operating speed according to the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature and / or the outdoor fan is controlled to adjust its operating speed according to the outdoor ambient temperature of the air conditioner's location and / or the compressor is controlled to adjust its frequency according to the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature; and / or, if the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, the indoor fan is controlled to decrease its speed and / or the outdoor fan is controlled to operate at a speed less than or equal to its current speed and / or the compressor is controlled to decrease its frequency.

[0135] In other embodiments, when the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, if the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be controlled to maintain the current operating parameters; if the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the indoor fan, outdoor fan, and compressor can be controlled to turn off.

[0136] In one feasible implementation, the step of controlling the outdoor fan to operate at a speed less than or equal to the current speed includes: controlling the outdoor fan to maintain the current speed when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to a first preset temperature difference; and controlling the outdoor fan to reduce its speed when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the first indoor temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference.

[0137] The first preset temperature difference in this embodiment refers to the same concept as the first preset temperature difference mentioned above.

[0138] In this embodiment, the outdoor fan reduces its speed when the indoor temperature is too low; otherwise, the outdoor fan maintains its current speed. This helps to further avoid excessive cooling capacity of the air conditioner and effectively improves indoor cooling comfort.

[0139] In other embodiments, when the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, the outdoor fan can also be controlled to reduce its speed.

[0140] In one feasible implementation, the steps of controlling the indoor fan to increase its speed and / or controlling the outdoor fan to increase its speed and / or controlling the compressor to increase its frequency include: controlling the indoor fan to increase its speed within a speed range less than or equal to a first indoor speed limit value, and / or controlling the outdoor fan to increase its speed within a speed range less than or equal to a first outdoor speed limit value, and / or controlling the compressor to increase its frequency within a frequency range less than or equal to a first frequency limit value;

[0141] The steps of controlling the indoor fan speed based on the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature and / or controlling the outdoor fan speed based on the outdoor ambient temperature of the air conditioner's location and / or controlling the compressor frequency based on the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature include: controlling the indoor fan speed based on the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature within a speed range less than or equal to a second upper limit value for indoor speed, and / or controlling the outdoor fan speed based on the outdoor ambient temperature within a speed range less than or equal to a second upper limit value for outdoor speed, and / or controlling the compressor frequency based on the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature within a frequency range less than or equal to a second upper limit value for frequency;

[0142] Wherein, the first indoor speed limit is greater than the second indoor speed limit, the first outdoor speed limit is greater than the second outdoor speed limit, and the first frequency limit is greater than the second frequency limit.

[0143] In this embodiment, when the indoor temperature is much higher than the set temperature, the upper limit values ​​of the parameters corresponding to the indoor fan, outdoor fan, and compressor are greater than the upper limit values ​​of the parameters corresponding to the indoor fan, outdoor fan, and compressor when the indoor temperature is close to the set temperature. This is beneficial to further ensure that the temperature in different areas of the indoor space can quickly and accurately reach the set temperature, thereby further improving the indoor cooling efficiency and indoor temperature comfort.

[0144] In other embodiments, the upper limit values ​​of the parameters corresponding to each component may be the same when the indoor temperature is in different temperature ranges.

[0145] In one feasible implementation, after the step of controlling the operation of the indoor fan and / or the compressor and / or the outdoor fan according to the first indoor temperature, the method further includes:

[0146] When the first indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the first indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the second preset temperature difference, the second indoor temperature of the indoor space regulated by the air conditioner is obtained at preset intervals.

[0147] When the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than a third preset temperature difference, the system controls the air conditioner to open the upper air outlet, controls the upper and lower air guide components to deliver air upwards at a first angle, and controls the left and right air guide components to swing and deliver air, and / or controls the indoor fan to increase its speed and / or controls the outdoor fan to increase its speed and / or controls the compressor to increase its frequency; and / or,

[0148] When the second indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to close the upper air outlet, control the upper and lower air guide components to deliver air at the second angle, and control the left and right air guide components to deliver air in a directional manner, and / or, control the indoor fan to reduce its speed and / or control the outdoor fan to reduce its speed and / or control the compressor to reduce its frequency.

[0149] Wherein, the third preset temperature difference is greater than the second preset temperature difference, the first angle is greater than the second angle, and the first angle and the second angle are both the angles between the upper and lower air guide components and the horizontal direction.

[0150] It should be noted that the concepts in this embodiment that are consistent with those in the above embodiments refer to the same concepts, and the relevant acquisition methods and application methods can be referred to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0151] Within the preset time period, the operating parameters of the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be adjusted in accordance with the methods mentioned above.

[0152] The second indoor temperature sensor detects the current temperature of the indoor space.

[0153] The parameters for raising or lowering the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be implemented according to the methods mentioned in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0154] When the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the third preset temperature difference, the upper air outlet remains open, the upper and lower air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively maintain upward air delivery at the first angle, and the left and right air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively maintain oscillating air delivery.

[0155] When the second indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the upper air outlet is closed and the upper air outlet is opened. The upper and lower air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively switch from the first angle to the second angle for air delivery. The left and right air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively switch from swing air delivery to directional air delivery at the aforementioned fourth angle.

[0156] Specifically, when the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to a third preset temperature difference, the air conditioner can maintain its current operation.

[0157] In this embodiment, when the original first indoor temperature is higher than the set temperature, after the air outlets are regulated and the operating parameters of each component in the air conditioner are adjusted, the temperature difference between the indoor space and the set temperature increases from the second preset temperature difference to the third preset temperature difference. The air conditioner's cooling capacity is insufficient. Therefore, controlling the air conditioner's operation in the above manner helps to increase the cooling capacity, thereby effectively improving indoor cooling efficiency and comfort. When the indoor space temperature changes from being higher than the set temperature to being lower than or equal to the set temperature, it indicates that the cooling capacity output by the air conditioner is sufficient. At this time, controlling the air conditioner's operation in the above manner helps to reduce the cooling capacity, so that the indoor temperature can be accurately maintained near the set temperature, thereby effectively improving indoor comfort.

[0158] In other embodiments, when the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the third preset temperature difference, the air outlet component corresponding to the upper air outlet can also be controlled to adjust the air guide angle to increase the air volume of the upper air outlet.

[0159] In other embodiments, when the second indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, the air outlet component corresponding to the upper air outlet can be controlled to adjust the air guide angle to reduce the air volume of the upper air outlet.

[0160] In one feasible implementation, after the step of controlling the operation of the indoor fan and / or the compressor and / or the outdoor fan according to the first indoor temperature, the method further includes:

[0161] When the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, the second indoor temperature of the indoor space regulated by the air conditioner is obtained at preset intervals.

[0162] When the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature difference, the air conditioner is controlled to open the upper air outlet, the upper and lower air guide components are controlled to send air upward at a first angle, and the left and right air guide components are controlled to swing and send air.

[0163] When the second indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the second indoor temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the air conditioner is controlled to close the upper air outlet, control the upper and lower air guide components to deliver air at the second angle, control the left and right air guide components to adjust the air guide angle to reduce the air volume of the corresponding air outlet, and / or control the indoor fan to reduce the speed and / or control the outdoor fan to reduce the speed and / or control the compressor to reduce the frequency.

[0164] It should be noted that the concepts in this embodiment that are consistent with those in the above embodiments refer to the same concepts, and the relevant acquisition methods and application methods can be referred to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0165] The fourth preset temperature difference is greater than the second preset temperature difference mentioned above.

[0166] Within the preset time period, the operating parameters of the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be adjusted in accordance with the methods mentioned above.

[0167] The second indoor temperature sensor detects the current temperature of the indoor space.

[0168] The parameters for raising or lowering the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be implemented according to the methods mentioned in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0169] When the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature difference, the upper air outlet opens, and the upper and lower air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets switch from the second angle to blowing air upwards at the first angle. The left and right air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets switch from directional air supply to oscillating air supply. Furthermore, the indoor fan speed can be adjusted according to the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature, and / or the outdoor fan speed can be adjusted according to the outdoor ambient temperature of the air conditioner's location, and / or the compressor frequency can be adjusted according to the temperature difference between the indoor temperature and the set temperature.

[0170] When the second indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the second indoor temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the upper air outlet is opened, and the upper and lower air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively maintain air delivery at the second angle. The left and right air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively switch from directional air delivery at the third angle to directional air delivery at the fourth angle.

[0171] When the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the fourth preset temperature difference, or when the second indoor temperature is less than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the second indoor temperature is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, the air conditioner maintains its current operation.

[0172] In this embodiment, when the original indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature and the temperature difference is small, after adjusting the air outlets and the operating parameters of each component in the air conditioner, if the indoor temperature rises significantly from below the set temperature to above the set temperature, it indicates that the air conditioner's cooling capacity is insufficient. Therefore, controlling the air conditioner's operation in the above manner is beneficial to increasing the cooling capacity, thereby effectively improving indoor cooling efficiency and comfort. If the indoor temperature remains below the set temperature and drops to an excessively low temperature, it indicates that the air conditioner's cooling capacity is too large. In this case, controlling the air conditioner's operation in the above manner is beneficial to reducing the cooling capacity, so that the indoor temperature can be accurately maintained near the set temperature, thereby effectively improving indoor comfort.

[0173] In other embodiments, when the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the fourth preset temperature difference, the air outlet component corresponding to the upper air outlet can be controlled to adjust the air guide angle to increase the air volume, and / or the upper and lower air guide components can be controlled to adjust the upward air supply angle to increase the air volume, and / or the left and right air guide components can be controlled to increase the swing angle range.

[0174] In other embodiments, when the second indoor temperature is lower than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the second indoor temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the air outlet component corresponding to the upper air outlet can be controlled to adjust the air guide angle to reduce the air volume of the upper air outlet, and the upper and lower air guide components and / or the left and right air guide components can be controlled to operate to close the left and right air outlets.

[0175] In one feasible implementation, after the step of controlling the operation of the indoor fan and / or the compressor and / or the outdoor fan according to the first indoor temperature, the method further includes:

[0176] When the first indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the set temperature and the first indoor temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the second indoor temperature of the indoor space regulated by the air conditioner is obtained at preset intervals.

[0177] When the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the fifth preset temperature difference, the air conditioner is controlled to close the upper air outlet, control the upper and lower air guide components to deliver air at the second angle, control the left and right air guide components to adjust the air guide angle to increase the air volume of the corresponding air outlet, and / or control the indoor fan to reduce its speed and / or control the outdoor fan to maintain its current speed and / or control the compressor to reduce its frequency.

[0178] It should be noted that the concepts in this embodiment that are consistent with those in the above embodiments refer to the same concepts, and the relevant acquisition methods and application methods can be referred to the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0179] The second, third, and fourth preset temperature differences mentioned above are all greater than the fifth preset temperature difference.

[0180] Within the preset time period, the operating parameters of the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be adjusted in accordance with the methods mentioned above.

[0181] The second indoor temperature sensor detects the current temperature of the indoor space.

[0182] The parameters for raising or lowering the indoor fan and / or outdoor fan and / or compressor can be implemented according to the methods mentioned in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0183] When the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than the fifth preset temperature difference, the upper air outlet is closed, and the upper and lower air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively deliver air at the second angle. The left and right air guide components corresponding to the left and right air outlets respectively can switch from the fourth angle to the third angle for operation.

[0184] Specifically, when the second indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature, or when the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature, or when the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the fifth preset temperature difference, the air conditioner can maintain its current operation.

[0185] In this embodiment, when the original indoor temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature and the temperature difference is large, after the air outlets are regulated and the operating parameters of each component in the air conditioner are adjusted, the indoor temperature rises significantly from below the set temperature to above the set temperature. This indicates that the air conditioner's cooling capacity is insufficient. Therefore, controlling the air conditioner's operation in the above manner is beneficial to increasing the cooling capacity, thereby effectively improving indoor cooling efficiency and comfort.

[0186] In other embodiments, when the second indoor temperature is greater than the set temperature and the temperature difference between the second indoor temperature and the set temperature is greater than a fifth preset temperature difference, the air conditioner can be controlled to open the upper air outlet.

[0187] Based on any of the above embodiments, in the third embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. In addition, the plurality of air outlets further includes a lower air outlet, and the heights of the upper air outlet, the left air outlet, and the right air outlet are all higher than the lower air outlet. Before the step of obtaining the first indoor temperature of the indoor space regulated by the air conditioner, the method further includes:

[0188] When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, control the air conditioner to close the lower air outlet.

[0189] This prevents cold air from blowing on feet and affecting the comfort of indoor users.

[0190] In other embodiments, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, it can also be controlled to open the lower air outlet and blow air upwards at an angle. Alternatively, the air volume and / or air outlet angle of the lower air outlet can be adjusted according to the temperature of the indoor space.

[0191] It should be noted that the above examples are only for understanding this application and do not constitute a limitation on the control method of the air conditioner in this application. Any simple modifications based on this technical concept are within the protection scope of this application.
