Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning equipment, in particular to a control method of air conditioning equipment and air conditioning equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of indoor environment conditioning, in order to improve the visual experience and decoration of products, some products combine flame simulation effects with air conditioning equipment, for example, a flame simulation module is added to a skirting heater or a skirting atomizing humidifier, and the flame form is simulated through light and dynamic display to enhance the appearance and atmosphere of the product.

[0003] However, the existing air conditioning equipment integrated with flame simulation effects has the defect of insufficient functional synergy, and the flame simulation effect always remains in a single display mode and cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the working state of the equipment, which reduces the linkage and intelligent interaction between product functions and also makes it difficult to match the atmosphere requirements of different working states, affecting the overall experience of users. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a control method of air conditioning equipment and air conditioning equipment to solve the problem that the flame simulation effect of air conditioning equipment always remains in a single display mode and cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the working state of the equipment.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a control method of air conditioning equipment, wherein the air conditioning equipment is provided with a flame simulation device, and the control method comprises: obtaining the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment; determining the target power of the fan of the flame simulation device according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment; controlling the power of the fan of the flame simulation device to reach the target power.

[0006] Beneficial effects: by obtaining the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment, controlling the power of the fan of the flame simulation device according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment, and making the power of the fan adapt to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment, when the power of the air conditioning equipment is large, the power of the fan is large, and the height of the simulated flame blown out is high, and when the power of the air conditioning equipment is small, the power of the fan is low, and the height of the simulated flame blown out is low, the height of the simulated flame can be adaptively adjusted according to the working state of the air conditioning equipment, the height of the simulated flame is adapted to the power of the air conditioning equipment, the use scene atmosphere requirements are matched, and the overall experience of users is improved.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the determination of the target power of the fan of the flame simulation device comprises: determining a target rotating speed of a fan of the flame simulation device.

[0008] Beneficial effect: The rotating speed of the fan is a core physical quantity directly determining the air supply speed of the fan, and the height of the flame simulation is directly driven by the air supply speed, that is, the higher the rotating speed of the fan, the faster the air supply speed, and the higher the rising height of the water mist. By determining the target rotating speed of the fan first, and deducing the target power based on the corresponding relationship between the rotating speed and the power, the flame height requirement can be converted into the precise rotating speed value, avoiding the air supply speed deviation caused by the load change when directly matching the power, so that the adjustment of the flame simulation height is more in line with the effect requirement corresponding to the power of the air conditioning device, and the control precision is significantly improved.

[0009] In an optional implementation, the determining of the target rotating speed of the fan of the flame simulation device comprises: retrieving preset corresponding data of the real-time power of the air conditioning device and the rotating speed of the fan, and determining the target rotating speed of the fan of the flame simulation device.

[0010] Beneficial effect: The preset corresponding data of the real-time power of the air conditioning device and the rotating speed of the fan is a quantitative relationship obtained in advance through experiments, simulations or engineering calibration. When the real-time power of the air conditioning device is obtained, the rotating speed of the fan does not need to be calculated or iteratively deduced in real time through a complex algorithm, but only needs to be determined by directly retrieving the preset data, which greatly simplifies the operation process of the control logic, shortens the response time from the power change of the air conditioning device to the rotating speed adjustment of the fan, makes the switching of the flame simulation effect more timely, and avoids the delay problem that the visual effect is out of synchronization with the working state of the device.

[0011] In an optional implementation, the determining of the target rotating speed of the fan of the flame simulation device comprises: determining the target rotating speed of the fan of the flame simulation device according to a preset proportional relationship between the real-time power of the air conditioning device and the rotating speed of the fan.

[0012] Beneficial effect: The preset proportional relationship establishes the correlation between the power of the air conditioning device and the rotating speed of the fan in the form of a mathematical formula (such as fan rotating speed = air conditioning device real-time power × proportional coefficient), which, compared with storing a large number of discrete preset corresponding data, only needs to store one or a few proportional coefficients to realize the calculation of the rotating speed of the fan. This not only greatly reduces the occupied space of the device storage module, but also simplifies the operation process of the microcontroller, and only needs to perform a multiplication operation to quickly obtain the target rotating speed of the fan, avoiding complex operations such as table lookup and matching, further reducing the requirement for hardware computing power, saving the research and development and production manufacturing cost of the device. In addition, the method of determining the target rotating speed of the fan according to the preset proportional relationship can realize stepless and continuous adjustment of the rotating speed of the fan, and improve the fluency of the change of the flame simulation effect.

[0013] In an alternative embodiment, the controlling the power of the lamp strip of the flame simulation device comprises: adjusting the supply voltage of the motor of the fan or adjusting the working current of the motor.

[0014] Beneficial effect: adjusting the working current can achieve stepless and accurate adjustment of the fan speed. By changing the current size through a constant current drive power supply or PWM modulation, the lamp strip power can be adjusted with milliamperes precision, allowing the fan motor speed and blowing distance to change more subtly, and the transition of the flame height to be smoother. The adjustment of the supply voltage is a more simple and efficient control method, which can use mature devices such as voltage regulating switches and silicon light dimmers, without the need for complex current detection modules, so that the fan speed can be quickly adjusted in steps or continuously, improving the operation convenience.

[0015] In an alternative embodiment, the flame simulation device comprises a plurality of fans, and the controlling the power of the fans of the flame simulation device comprises: controlling the number of fans turned on.

[0016] Beneficial effect: the core of controlling the number of fans turned on is to achieve the on-off control of a single fan through a switching circuit (such as a relay or MOS tube), without the need for complex constant current or constant voltage adjustment modules or PWM modulation circuits, and the hardware architecture is simple and mature. From the software level, only the high and low level signals output by the microcontroller are needed to control the on-off of the switching circuit, so that the number of fans can be switched without the need to write complex power regulation algorithms, greatly reducing the development difficulty and debugging cost of the control program. At the same time, this control method does not require high-precision current and voltage detection elements, further reducing the procurement and assembly costs of hardware components, making it suitable for large-scale mass production applications. In addition, the presentation of the flame height by the flame simulation device does not require stepless and continuous power changes, but can be matched with different power levels (such as low, medium and high power) through a hierarchical visual effect. By controlling the number of fans turned on, the total power can be adjusted in steps, and each step of the total power is bound to a fixed number of fans turned on, with a very low error rate of power adjustment. This hierarchical adjustment method is highly compatible with the working power level, allowing the flame height of the flame simulation to change clearly with the device power level, so that users can intuitively perceive the correlation between the air conditioning device operating state and the flame effect, improving the recognition of the visual experience.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment, during the process of controlling and adjusting the power of the fans of the flame simulation device, the atomization amount of the atomization sheet and the luminous flux of the lamp strip of the air conditioning device are kept constant.

[0018] Beneficial Effects: The simulated flame effect of the device is the result of the combined effects of the fan's airflow speed, the luminous flux of the LED strip, and the amount of water mist produced by the atomizing plate. The water mist acts as a light scattering medium, while the fan's speed creates a stable upward airflow, simulating the rising shape of a flame. Maintaining a constant atomization amount ensures the uniform density and distribution of the water mist, providing a stable scattering medium for the light; maintaining a constant luminous flux of the LED strip ensures that the basic brightness and color rendering effect of the flame remain consistent. By simply adjusting the fan power to change the airflow speed, the rising height of the water mist can be precisely controlled, simulating the dynamic characteristics of a real flame where the height changes with the airflow while the brightness and shape remain stable. This avoids the problem of the flame flickering or becoming indistinct due to variations in atomization amount or luminous flux, making the visual texture of the simulated flame closer to that of a real flame.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention also provides an air conditioning device, the air conditioning device being equipped with a flame-simulating device, the air conditioning device comprising: The acquisition module is used to acquire the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment. The determination module is used to determine the target power of the fan of the flame-simulating device based on the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment; The control module is used to control and adjust the power of the fan of the flame-simulating device so that the power of the fan reaches the target power.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The air conditioning equipment acquires its real-time power through an acquisition module, and determines the target power of the flame-simulating device's fan based on this real-time power through a determination module. Then, the control module adjusts the fan power to achieve the target power. Changes in fan power are reflected in changes in flame height. The flame-simulating effect can adaptively adjust according to the air conditioning equipment's operating status, matching the simulated flame height with the air conditioning equipment's power to meet the atmospheric requirements of the usage scenario and enhance the user's overall experience.

[0021] Thirdly, the present invention also provides an air conditioning device, the air conditioning device being provided with a flame-simulating device, the flame-simulating device comprising: Atomizing plates are used to atomize water to generate atomized gas. A fan is used to blow the atomized gas out of the mist outlet of the air conditioning device; LED strips are used to illuminate the atomized gas to create a simulated flame; The air conditioning equipment is configured to adaptively adjust the power of the fan according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment.

[0022] Beneficial effects: Because the air conditioning equipment can adaptively adjust the fan power according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment, the simulated flame effect can be adaptively adjusted according to the working status of the air conditioning equipment. The simulated flame effect is adapted to the power of the air conditioning equipment, matches the atmospheric requirements of the usage scenario, and improves the overall user experience.

[0023] In one alternative implementation, the air conditioning device is a baseboard heater or a baseboard atomizing humidifier.

[0024] Beneficial effects: Baseboard heaters or baseboard misting humidifiers adaptively adjust the fan power according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment. The simulated flame effect can be adaptively adjusted according to the working status of the air conditioning equipment. The simulated flame effect is adapted to the power of the air conditioning equipment, matching the needs of the usage scenario and improving the overall user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a control method for an air conditioning device is provided, the air conditioning device being equipped with a flame-simulating device, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the control method includes: Obtain the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment; The target power of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device is determined based on the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment. Control and adjust the power of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device so that the power of the fan 10 reaches the target power.

[0033] By acquiring the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment, the power of the fan 10 of the simulated flame device is controlled and adjusted according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment, so that the power of the fan 10 is adapted to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment. When the power of the air conditioning equipment is high, the power of the fan 10 is high, and the height of the simulated flame blown out is high. When the power of the air conditioning equipment is low, the power of the fan 10 is low, and the height of the simulated flame blown out is low. The height of the simulated flame can be adaptively adjusted according to the working status of the air conditioning equipment. The height of the simulated flame is adapted to the power of the air conditioning equipment, matching the atmospheric requirements of the usage scenario and improving the overall user experience.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, determining the target power of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device includes: Determine the target rotational speed of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device.

[0035] The rotational speed of fan 10 is the core physical quantity that directly determines the air delivery speed of fan 10, and the height of the simulated flame is directly driven by the air delivery speed. That is, the higher the rotational speed of fan 10, the faster the air delivery speed, and the higher the water mist rises. By first determining the target rotational speed of fan 10, and deriving the target power based on the correspondence between rotational speed and power, the flame height requirement can be converted into a precise rotational speed value. This avoids the air delivery speed deviation caused by load changes when directly matching power, making the adjustment of the simulated flame height more closely match the effect requirements corresponding to the power of the air conditioning equipment, and significantly improving control accuracy.

[0036] In some embodiments, determining the target rotational speed of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device includes: The target speed of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device is determined by retrieving the preset corresponding data of the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment and the rotation speed of the fan 10.

[0037] The preset correspondence between the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment and the rotational speed of the fan 10 is a quantitative relationship obtained in advance through experiments, simulations, or engineering calibrations. Once the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment is obtained, there is no need to calculate or iteratively derive the rotational speed of the fan 10 through complex algorithms. The target value can be determined simply by retrieving the preset data, which greatly simplifies the operation process of the control logic, shortens the response time from changes in the power of the air conditioning equipment to the adjustment of the rotational speed of the fan 10, and makes the switching of the simulated flame effect more timely, avoiding the delay problem of the visual effect being out of sync with the equipment's working status.

[0038] In some embodiments, determining the target rotational speed of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device includes: The target rotational speed of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device is determined based on the preset ratio between the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment and the rotational speed of the fan 10.

[0039] The preset proportional relationship establishes the correlation between the air conditioning equipment power and the fan speed in the form of a mathematical formula (e.g., fan speed = real-time power of air conditioning equipment × proportional coefficient). Compared to storing a large amount of discrete preset corresponding data, only one or a few proportional coefficients need to be stored to calculate the fan speed. This not only significantly reduces the space occupied by the equipment's storage module but also simplifies the microcontroller's calculation process. Only one multiplication operation is needed to quickly obtain the target speed of fan speed, avoiding complex operations such as table lookup and matching, further reducing the hardware computing power requirements and saving equipment R&D and manufacturing costs. In addition, the method of determining the target speed of fan speed according to the preset proportional relationship enables stepless continuous adjustment of the fan speed, improving the smoothness of the simulated flame effect changes.

[0040] In some embodiments, controlling the power of the lamp strip 30 of the flame-simulating device includes: Adjust the power supply voltage of the motor of the fan 10 or adjust the operating current of the motor.

[0041] Adjusting the operating current allows for stepless and precise speed control of the fan 10. By changing the current through a constant current drive or PWM modulation, the power of the LED strip 30 can be adjusted with milliampere-level precision, resulting in more subtle changes in the fan 10 motor speed and blowing distance, and a smoother transition in simulated flame height. Adjusting the power supply voltage is even simpler and more efficient. Using mature components such as voltage regulators and SCR dimmers, the fan 10 speed can be quickly adjusted in stages or continuously without the need for a complex current detection module, improving operational convenience.

[0042] In some embodiments, the flame-simulating device includes a plurality of fans 10, and the power of the fans 10 controlling the flame-simulating device includes: Control the number of fans 10 that are turned on.

[0043] The core of controlling the number of fans 10 in operation is to achieve on / off control of a single fan 10 through switching circuits (such as relays and MOSFETs). This eliminates the need for complex constant current or constant voltage regulation modules or PWM modulation circuits, resulting in a simple and mature hardware architecture. From a software perspective, switching the number of fans 10 can be achieved simply by outputting high and low level signals from a microcontroller to control the switching circuits. This eliminates the need for complex power regulation algorithms, significantly reducing the development difficulty and debugging costs of the control program. Furthermore, this control method eliminates the need for high-precision current and voltage detection components, further reducing the procurement and assembly costs of hardware components, making it suitable for large-scale mass production applications. In addition, the flame simulation device does not require stepless continuous power changes to represent flame height; instead, it can match different power levels (such as low, medium, and high power) through graded visual effects. By controlling the number of fans 10 in operation, a stepped adjustment of the total power can be achieved. Each level of total power is bound to a fixed number of fans 10 in operation, resulting in an extremely low error rate in power regulation. This tiered adjustment method is highly compatible with the operating power level, allowing the simulated flame height to change clearly with the device's power level. Users can intuitively perceive the relationship between the air conditioning device's operating status and the flame effect, enhancing the visual experience.

[0044] In some embodiments, during the process of controlling and adjusting the power of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device, the atomization amount of the atomizing plate 20 of the air conditioning device and the luminous flux of the lamp strip 30 are kept constant.

[0045] The simulated flame effect is the result of the combined effects of the airflow speed of the fan 10, the luminous flux of the light strip 30, and the amount of water mist generated by the atomizing plate 20. The water mist acts as a light scattering medium, while the airflow speed of the fan 10 creates a stable upward airflow, simulating the rising shape of a flame. Maintaining a constant atomization amount ensures the uniform density and distribution of the water mist, providing a stable scattering medium for the light; maintaining a constant luminous flux of the light strip 30 ensures that the basic brightness and color rendering effect of the flame remain consistent. At this point, by simply adjusting the power of the fan 10 to change the airflow speed, the rising height of the water mist can be precisely controlled, simulating the dynamic characteristics of a real flame where the height changes with the airflow while the brightness and shape remain stable. This avoids the problem of the flame flickering or becoming indistinct due to variations in atomization amount or luminous flux, making the visual texture of the simulated flame closer to that of a real flame.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, an air conditioning device is also provided, the air conditioning device being provided with a flame-simulating device, the air conditioning device comprising: The acquisition module is used to acquire the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment. The determination module is used to determine the target power of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device based on the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment. The control module is used to control and adjust the power of the fan 10 of the flame-simulating device so that the power of the fan 10 reaches the target power.

[0047] The air conditioning equipment acquires its real-time power through an acquisition module and determines the target power of the flame-simulating device's fan 10 based on the real-time power through a determination module. Then, the control module controls and adjusts the power of the flame-simulating device's fan 10 to achieve the target power. Changes in the fan 10's power are reflected in changes in the flame height. The flame-simulating effect can be adaptively adjusted according to the air conditioning equipment's operating status. The simulated flame height is matched with the air conditioning equipment's power to meet the atmospheric requirements of the usage scenario and improve the user's overall experience.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, an air conditioning device is also provided, the air conditioning device being provided with a flame smearing device, the flame smearing device comprising: Atomizing plate 20 is used to atomize water to generate atomized gas; Fan 10 is used to blow the atomized gas out from the mist outlet of the air conditioning device; LED strip 30 is used to illuminate the atomized gas to form a simulated flame; The air conditioning equipment is configured to adaptively adjust the power of the fan 10 according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment.

[0049] Because the air conditioning equipment can adaptively adjust the power of the fan 10 according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment, the simulated flame effect can be adaptively adjusted according to the working status of the air conditioning equipment. The simulated flame effect is adapted to the power of the air conditioning equipment, matches the atmospheric requirements of the usage scenario, and improves the overall user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device is a baseboard heater 100 or a baseboard atomizing humidifier.

[0051] The skirting board heater 100 or skirting board atomizing humidifier adaptively adjusts the illumination distance of the light strip 30 according to the real-time power of the air conditioning equipment. The simulated flame effect can be adaptively adjusted according to the working status of the air conditioning equipment. The simulated flame effect is adapted to the power of the air conditioning equipment, matching the needs of the usage scenario and improving the overall user experience.

[0052] like Figures 1-3As shown in the illustration, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides a baseboard heater 100 with a flame-like atomization humidification function. A fan 10 and an atomizing plate 20 are designed on the left side of the baseboard heater 100 body, and an LED strip 30 is designed in the middle of the body. When turned on, the atomizing plate 20 operates and emits mist upwards. The fan 10 starts blowing air from left to right, transporting the mist along the mist guide channel to the middle of the body and dissipating upwards from the mist outlet. At this time, the LED strip 30 illuminates and passes through the mist outlet at the top of the body, illuminating the atomized shape at the top of the body, forming a flame effect. The visual atomization height is generally used as a criterion for judging the flame effect.

[0053] Based on the single-factor variable method analysis, assuming the atomization amount of the atomizing plate 20 and the luminous flux of the light strip 30 remain constant, a fan 10 with adjustable wind speed is designed. The baseboard heater 100 has 1, 2, 3...n power levels, with the power and heating amount gradually increasing from level 1 to level n. The required flame effect should also increase from weak to strong. If the brightness of the light strip 30 and the atomization amount of the atomizing plate 20 remain constant, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the fan speed 10 corresponds to the 1, 2, 3...n gears of the baseboard heater 100, and can be adjusted to V1, V2, V3...Vn gears.

[0054] The baseboard heater 100 has 1, 2, 3...n power levels, with the power and heating capacity gradually increasing from level 1 to level n. The desired flame effect should also increase from weak to strong. With the brightness and atomization amount of the LED strip 30 remaining constant, the fan 10 operates at speeds of V1, V2, V3...Vn, with the wind speed gradually increasing. This results in a continuous increase in the atomization height h at the outlet, creating a difference in the atomization height illuminated by the LED strip 30. This visually more closely approximates the actual heating effect, providing a more realistic experience.

[0055] For example, the baseboard heater 100 has five power levels, corresponding to a total power of 400W, 800W, 1200W, 1600W, and 2000W respectively; When the luminous flux of the LED strip 30 is constant at 80lm, the atomization amount of the atomizing plate 20 is constant at 130ml / h; The rotational speeds of fan 10, from the lowest to the highest setting, are 1 m / s, 1.5 m / s, 2 m / s, 2.5 m / s, and 3 m / s, respectively.

[0056] As the overall power of the unit is adjusted from low to high, the speed of the fan 10 also adjusts accordingly. The height of the simulated flame in the user's vision changes in correspondence with the actual power of the heater, making the heating atmosphere created by the simulated flame more realistic. Moreover, users can judge the power of the heater by the flame height, making the assessment of the heater's heating power more intuitive.

[0057] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
