Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

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

[0002] More and more air conditioners are configured with a humidification function, but after the air conditioner performs the humidification function, the environment inside the air conditioner is usually humid, thereby causing the environment inside the air conditioner to easily attach dust and breed bacteria. With the increase of time, the air conditioner will produce an odor, which will also affect the air quality. SUMMARY

[0003] The problem solved by the present application is how to improve the problem that the air conditioner in the prior art is prone to produce an odor and affect the air quality with the increase of running time.

[0004] To solve the above problem, the present application provides a humidification control method applied to an air conditioner, and the humidification control method comprises the following steps.

[0005] Receiving a shutdown signal, the shutdown signal is used to control the air conditioner to stop running;

[0006] Judging whether the air conditioner is in a running humidification mode state;

[0008] Judging whether the first running time is greater than a first preset time;

[0009] If the first running time is less than the first preset time, controlling the air conditioner to run a dry mode, and controlling the air conditioner to stop running after a second running time; wherein the sum of the first running time and the second running time is greater than or equal to the first preset time; in the dry mode, the air conditioner closes the air outlet and runs a heating mode.

[0010] The humidification control method provided by the present application has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0011] In a case that the air conditioner executes the humidification control method, when the air conditioner is turned off, if the interval time from the last time the humidification mode is run is less than the first preset time, it indicates that the time of the closed humidification mode is short, so that the moisture in the internal environment of the air conditioner is more, which is easy to cause the internal environment of the air conditioner to be humid, and further easy to cause dust to be attached and bacteria to breed. Based on this, the air conditioner is controlled to run the air drying mode to close the air outlet and open the heating mode to run, which can dry the internal environment of the air conditioner and reduce the moisture in the internal environment of the air conditioner, and can improve the technical problems that the dust is easy to be attached and the bacteria are easy to breed due to the humid internal environment of the air conditioner.

[0014] In a case that the air conditioner is turned off in the humidification mode, it indicates that the humidification mode is just closed, and further indicates that the internal environment of the air conditioner is relatively humid. Therefore, by running the air drying mode to dry the internal environment of the air conditioner, the problem that the dust is easy to be attached and the bacteria are easy to breed in the air conditioner can be improved.

[0057] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent, more comprehensible and more understandable, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] In the present embodiment, an air conditioner is provided, which is used to be installed in a designated area and can provide air conditioning effect to the designated area during operation. The air conditioning effect includes but is not limited to refrigeration, heating, dust removal, sterilization and fresh air, etc. Further, the air conditioner is also provided with a humidification module, which can be used to provide humidification effect to the designated area to adjust the environmental humidity in the designated area, thereby improving the comfort of the user. In addition, the air conditioner provided in the present embodiment can improve the problem that the existing air conditioner is prone to produce odor and affect air quality during operation.

[0059] Optionally, in the present embodiment, the operation mode of the air conditioner can have a heating mode, a refrigeration mode and a humidification mode. Of course, the air conditioner can have other modes, such as a dehumidification mode, a sterilization mode, etc., which will not be described here. Further, in the present embodiment, the mode other than the humidification mode is referred to as "other mode".

[0060] In order to facilitate the air conditioner to switch between the humidification mode and other modes, and control the start and stop of the air conditioner and the start and stop of each mode, the air conditioner further comprises a controller. The controller can be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capability. The controller can be a general-purpose processor, including a central processing unit (CPU), and can also be a single-chip microcomputer, a microcontroller unit (MCU), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an embedded ARM, etc. The controller can implement or execute the disclosed methods, steps and logic block diagrams in the embodiments of the application.

[0061] In a feasible embodiment, the air conditioner can further comprise a memory for storing program instructions executable by the controller, for example, the humidification control device provided in the embodiments of the application, and the humidification control device provided in the embodiments of the application comprises at least one program stored in the memory in the form of software or firmware. The memory can be an independent external memory, including but not limited to a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), and an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). The memory can also be integrated with the controller, for example, the memory can be integrated with the controller in the same chip.

[0062] In addition, in the embodiments, a liquid level sensor is further arranged on the air conditioner, and the liquid level sensor is arranged in the water tank of the humidification module and is used to detect the liquid level in the water tank. The liquid level sensor is electrically connected with the controller, so as to send the detected liquid level data to the controller. The air conditioner is further provided with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature in the environment where the air conditioner is located, and the humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity in the environment where the air conditioner is located. The temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are both electrically connected with the controller, so as to send the detected humidity data and temperature data to the controller.

[0063] Based on the above provided air conditioner, in order to achieve the purpose of improving the problem that the increase of air conditioner running time in the prior art is easy to cause odor affecting air quality, an air conditioning control method is further provided in the embodiment. The controller can execute the air conditioning control method.

[0064] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The air conditioning control method comprises the following steps.

[0065] S1, receiving a shutdown signal.

[0066] The shutdown signal is used to control the air conditioner to stop. It should be noted that the shutdown signal can be an instruction issued by the user through a remote controller, a smart terminal, a gesture, etc.

[0067] S2, determining whether the air conditioner is in a running humidification mode state.

[0068] S3, if the air conditioner is not in the running humidification mode state, calculating the interval time from the last time the air conditioner runs the humidification mode to the present time, and recording the first running time.

[0069] The step of calculating the interval time from the last time the air conditioner runs the humidification mode to the present time, and recording the first running time can also be regarded as the step executed when the determination result in step S2 is negative.

[0070] S4, determining whether the first running time is greater than a first preset time.

[0071] S5, if the first running time is less than the first preset time, controlling the air conditioner to run a dry mode, and stopping the air conditioner after a second running time.

[0072] Step S5 can also be regarded as the step of controlling the air conditioner to run the dry mode and stopping the air conditioner after the second running time when the determination result in step S4 is negative.

[0073] The sum of the first running time and the second running time is greater than or equal to the first preset time; in the dry mode, the air conditioner closes the air outlet and runs the heating mode. In the dry mode, since the air conditioner runs the heating mode and the air outlet is closed, the temperature of the internal environment of the air conditioner can be improved, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the internal environment of the air conditioner, and the situation that the internal environment of the air conditioner is too wet due to excessive moisture can be avoided.

[0074] In the above, in the case that the air conditioner executes the humidification control method, when the air conditioner is turned off, if the time interval from the last time the humidification mode is run is less than the first preset time, it indicates that the time for which the humidification mode is closed is short, so that the moisture in the internal environment of the air conditioner is more, which is easy to cause the internal environment of the air conditioner to be humid, and further easy to cause dust to be attached and bacteria to breed. Based on this, the air conditioner is controlled to run the air-drying mode to close the air outlet and open the heating mode to run, which can dry the internal environment of the air conditioner and reduce the moisture in the internal environment of the air conditioner, so as to improve the technical problem that dust is easy to be attached and bacteria are easy to breed due to the humid internal environment of the air conditioner.

[0075] It is worth noting that before the air conditioner is controlled to be turned off, if the air conditioner is in the state of running the humidification mode or is in the case that the time for which the humidification mode is closed is not long, it indicates that the humidity in the internal environment of the air conditioner is high, that is, the moisture in the internal environment of the air conditioner is more and is more humid. Therefore, the internal environment of the air conditioner needs to be dried by the air-drying mode.

[0076] In other words, after receiving the instruction to turn off the air conditioner, if the air conditioner is in the state of running other modes when it is turned off, the time length from the time point at which the last time the humidification mode is closed to the current time point is calculated. If the time length is less than the first preset time, it indicates that the air conditioner has not run for more than the first preset time after the humidification mode is closed, which indicates that the internal environment of the air conditioner is in a humid state. Based on this, the drying of the internal environment of the air conditioner can be realized by running the air-drying mode.

[0077] Optionally, the first preset time can be 10min-60min, that is, the first preset time can be 10min, 15min, 20min, 25min, 30min, 35min, 40min, 45min, 50min, 55min or 60min, etc. Preferably, the first preset time is 30min.

[0078] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 After step S2, the humidification control method further comprises:

[0079] S21, if the air conditioner is in the state of running the humidification mode, the air conditioner is controlled to run the air-drying mode and lasts for a third running time.

[0080] The third running time is greater than or equal to the first preset time.

[0081] Step S21 can also be regarded as the step of executing the control of the air conditioner to run the air-drying mode and lasting for the third running time when the result of the judgment in step S2 is yes.

[0082] In the case that the air conditioner is in the dehumidification mode and the closing signal is received, it indicates that the dehumidification mode is just ended and the internal environment of the air conditioner is humid. Thus, the internal environment of the air conditioner can be dried by running the air-drying mode, so as to improve the problem that dust is easily attached and bacteria are easily bred in the air conditioner.

[0083] In other words, in the case that the air conditioner receives the closing signal, if the air conditioner is in the running dehumidification mode, it indicates that the internal environment of the air conditioner is in the humid state. Thus, the air-drying mode is directly controlled to run, so as to dry the internal environment of the air conditioner.

[0084] Optionally, referring to Figure 3 In the embodiment, in the case that the air conditioner runs the air-drying mode, the dehumidification control method further comprises:

[0085] S11, receiving a dehumidification signal.

[0086] S12, closing the air-drying mode according to the dehumidification signal.

[0087] The dehumidification signal is used to control the air conditioner to run or close the dehumidification mode. In other words, on the remote controller or the intelligent terminal of the user, only one dehumidification control button can be set to control the start and stop of the dehumidification mode and the stop of the air-drying mode through the button, so as to simplify the control logic and improve the control efficiency. In other words, by integrating the closing instruction of the air-drying mode into the opening and closing function of the dehumidification mode, the control difficulty can be reduced.

[0088] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 4 Before step S1, the dehumidification control method can further comprise:

[0089] S110, receiving a dehumidification signal.

[0090] The dehumidification signal is used to control the air conditioner to run or close the dehumidification mode;

[0091] S120, judging whether the air conditioner is in the running state;

[0092] S130, if the air conditioner is in the running state, controlling the air conditioner to normally run while starting the dehumidification mode.

[0093] That is to say, if the result of step S120 is yes, the step of controlling the air conditioner to normally run while starting the dehumidification mode is executed.

[0094] S140, if the air conditioner is not in the running state, controlling the air conditioner to run the dehumidification mode.

[0095] That is to say, if the result of step S120 is no, the step of controlling the air conditioner to run the dehumidification mode is executed.

[0096] That is, the air conditioner running the humidification mode does not affect the operation of other modes of the air conditioner, ensuring that the air conditioner can complete multiple air conditioning tasks at the same time to meet user needs. For example, in the case where the air conditioner is in a heating mode, the controller receives a humidification signal, and the humidification mode can be started while the air conditioner is maintained in the heating mode to ensure normal operation of the heating mode and meet the user's heating needs. For another example, in the case where the air conditioner is in a stopped state, the controller receives a humidification signal, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter a ventilation and humidification mode, that is, the air conditioner is started in the humidification mode.

[0097] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 After step S110, the humidification control method further includes:

[0098] S111, determining whether the air conditioner is in a running humidification mode.

[0099] S112, if the air conditioner is in a running humidification mode, turn off the humidification mode.

[0100] Step S112 can be regarded as the action of turning off the humidification mode when the result of step S111 is yes.

[0101] In other words, in the case where the controller receives a humidification signal, if the air conditioner is in a running humidification mode, the air conditioner can be controlled to stop humidification based on the humidification signal.

[0102] It is worth noting that after the humidification mode is stopped, if the air conditioner is still running other modes, when the air conditioner receives a shutdown signal subsequently, the above-mentioned steps S1 to S5 can be run.

[0103] Further, please refer to Figure 6 In the embodiment, before controlling the air conditioner to run the humidification mode, the humidification control method further includes:

[0104] S210, obtaining a liquid level value, a temperature value and a humidity value.

[0105] The liquid level value represents the liquid level in the water tank of the humidification module in the air conditioner, the temperature value represents the temperature of the area where the air conditioner is located, and the humidity value represents the humidity of the area where the air conditioner is located.

[0106] S220, controlling the air conditioner to run the humidification mode according to the liquid level value, the temperature value and the humidity value.

[0107] Controlling the running of the humidification mode based on the liquid level value, the temperature value and the humidity value is beneficial to prevent the idle running of the humidification mode, and can also avoid the influence caused by the false touch of the environment where the air conditioner is located.

[0108] wherein, referring to Figure 7 , step 220 can include:

[0109] S221, if the liquid level value is higher than the preset liquid level value, the temperature value is higher than the preset temperature value, and the humidity value is less than or equal to the first preset humidity value, the air conditioner is controlled to run in the humidification mode.

[0110] That is, the above-mentioned liquid level value, temperature value and humidity value are three parameters for judging whether the environment where the air conditioner is located needs to enter the humidification mode for humidification. If the above-mentioned conditions are met, it means that the air quality of the environment where the air conditioner is located is relatively low, and the humidification mode can be performed to improve the comfort of the user. On the contrary, if at least one of the parameters does not meet the above-mentioned conditions, it means that the air quality of the environment where the air conditioner is located is not relatively low, and the humidification mode does not need to be executed, on the one hand to prevent the air quality in the environment from being affected, and on the other hand to reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0111] Optionally, in the embodiment, the first preset humidity value can be 50%-60%, for example, the first preset humidity value is 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59% or 60%, etc. It is worth noting that the first preset humidity value can be set as a fixed parameter, in other words, the value of the first preset humidity value is set when the air conditioner is manufactured, and subsequent manual modification or re-setting cannot be performed by the user.

[0112] In addition, referring to Figure 8 , before step S110, the humidification control method further includes:

[0113] S310, if the humidity of the area where the air conditioner is located is less than or equal to the second preset humidity value, and the liquid level in the water tank of the humidification module of the air conditioner is higher than the preset liquid level value, and the temperature of the area where the air conditioner is located is higher than the preset temperature value.

[0114] wherein, the second preset humidity value is lower than the first preset humidity value.

[0115] S320, control the air conditioner to start the humidification mode.

[0116] Optionally, the second preset humidity value can be 30%-35%, for example, the second preset humidity value is 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34% or 35%, etc. In the case that the humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located is too low, and the temperature of the environment meets the condition for performing humidification, the humidification mode can be automatically started to improve the comfort of the user in the environment where the air conditioner is located.

[0123] Optionally, the calculating module 30 can be configured to execute the above-mentioned step S3 to achieve the corresponding technical effects.

[0124] The second judging module 40 is configured to judge whether the first running time is greater than a first preset time.

[0125] Optionally, the second judging module 40 can be configured to execute the above-mentioned step S4 to achieve the corresponding technical effects.

[0127] Optionally, the executing module 50 can be configured to execute the above-mentioned step S5 to achieve the corresponding technical effects; in addition, the executing module 50 is also configured to execute the above-mentioned step S21, step S12, step S130, step S140, step S112, step S220, step S221, step S310 and step S320 to achieve the corresponding technical effects.

[0128] To sum up, the humidification control method, device and air conditioner provided in the embodiment can, when the air conditioner is powered off, if the time interval from the last time the humidification mode is run is less than the first preset time, indicate that the humidification mode is closed for a short time, so that the moisture in the internal environment of the air conditioner is more, which can easily cause the internal environment of the air conditioner to be humid, and thus easily cause dust to adhere and bacteria to breed; based on this, the air conditioner is controlled to run the air drying mode to close the air outlet and open the heating mode to run, which can dry the internal environment of the air conditioner and reduce the moisture in the internal environment of the air conditioner, and can improve the technical problem that dust easily adheres and bacteria easily breed due to the humid internal environment of the air conditioner.
