Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioning control method, device, system, air conditioner and equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when purchasing air conditioners, people often encounter a mismatch between room size and cooling capacity. Users, especially the elderly and children, are often unfamiliar with the airflow adjustment function. In the hot summer, people habitually turn the fan speed up to a high level. Due to the small room size and rapid heat exchange, the air conditioner can reach the set cooling temperature quickly. At this point, the compressor will reduce its operating frequency. However, the compressor frequency cannot decrease indefinitely under actual use, so the air conditioner continues to cool, causing the compressor to overshoot and shut down. After the compressor shuts down due to overshoot, the room temperature will slowly rise again over time due to heat load and cooling capacity loss. The compressor will then restart to cool, potentially causing it to overshoot and shut down again, repeating this process. Similarly, a similar problem exists when heating. Such a large temperature fluctuation not only wastes electricity but also reduces user comfort and may even affect user health. Summary of the Invention

[0093] Although operations or steps are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this disclosure, it should not be construed as requiring these operations or steps to be performed in the specific order or serial order shown, or requiring all of the shown operations or steps to be performed to obtain the desired result. In the embodiments of this disclosure, these operations or steps may be performed serially; they may be performed in parallel; or a portion of these operations or steps may be performed.

[0094] The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information. It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in this disclosure in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and user authorization should be obtained.

[0095] This disclosure provides an air conditioning control method, apparatus, system, air conditioner, and equipment. It aims to solve the problem of compressor overshoot and shutdown, reduce temperature fluctuations, maintain a relatively stable indoor temperature for users, improve user comfort, and bring a better air conditioning experience. The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, illustrates this disclosure.

[0096] Figure 1a This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1a As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides an air conditioning control method, which may include the following steps:

[0097] In step S110, the air conditioner's fan speed mode is obtained.

[0098] In this step, the air conditioner's fan speed mode is obtained. For example, the fan speed mode can be a large fan speed mode, a medium fan speed mode, or a small fan speed mode.

[0099] In step S120, when the windshield mode is the specified windshield mode and the number of times the air conditioner's compressor has stopped due to temperature overshoot reaches a set number, the self-learning control mode is entered.

[0100] In this step, when the fan mode is the specified fan mode and the air conditioner compressor's temperature overshoot shutdown count reaches the set number, the self-learning control mode is entered. For example, the specified fan mode can be the high fan mode, in which the indoor temperature fluctuates significantly, easily causing user discomfort. In this fan mode, the indoor temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located can be obtained first, for example, T℃. Then, when the indoor temperature reaches the overshoot threshold temperature, for example, T-2℃, the air conditioner compressor is controlled to stop, and the compressor's temperature overshoot shutdown count is updated. Then, when the temperature overshoot shutdown count reaches the set number (e.g., 2 times), the self-learning control mode is entered. Specifically, in cooling mode, the overshoot threshold temperature is lower than the air conditioner's set temperature; in heating mode, the overshoot threshold temperature is higher than the air conditioner's set temperature.

[0101] In step S130, under the self-learning control mode, a wind speed matching the environmental parameters of the environment in which the air conditioner is located is determined, and the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the wind speed.

[0102] In this step, under self-learning control mode, the system determines the fan speed that matches the environmental parameters of the environment in which the air conditioner is located, and controls the air conditioner to operate at that matched fan speed. This effectively reduces the range of indoor temperature fluctuations, maintains a relatively stable indoor temperature for the user, reduces energy consumption, and improves user comfort.

[0103] Figure 1bThis is a schematic diagram illustrating room temperature fluctuations when an air conditioner is not self-learning, according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1b As shown, when the air conditioner is not self-learning, the room temperature fluctuates between the set temperature T℃ and T-2℃, with a temperature fluctuation range of up to 4℃. This can easily cause discomfort to users and may even harm their health.

[0104] Figure 1c This is a schematic diagram illustrating the room temperature fluctuation after an air conditioner has undergone self-learning, according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1c As shown, after the air conditioner has undergone self-learning, the room temperature fluctuation range around the set temperature T℃ has significantly decreased, much smaller than the previous 4℃ fluctuation range before learning. This effectively reduces the range of indoor temperature fluctuations, maintains a relatively stable indoor temperature for the user, reduces energy consumption, and improves user comfort.

[0105] In summary, this disclosure provides an air conditioning control method, including: acquiring the air conditioner's fan speed mode; when the fan speed mode is a specified fan speed mode and the air conditioner's compressor has stopped operating due to temperature overshoot a set number of times, entering a self-learning control mode; in the self-learning control mode, determining a fan speed matching the environmental parameters based on the environmental parameters of the environment where the air conditioner is located, and controlling the air conditioner to operate at the specified fan speed. This disclosure can solve the compressor overshoot shutdown problem, reduce temperature fluctuations, maintain a relatively stable indoor temperature for users, improve user comfort, and bring a better air conditioning user experience.

[0106] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the step of entering the self-learning control mode when the windshield mode is the specified windshield mode and the air conditioner compressor stops due to temperature overshoot a set number of times may include the following steps:

[0107] In step S1201, when the windshield mode is the specified windshield mode, the indoor temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained.

[0108] In this step, when the windshield mode is set to a specified windshield mode, the indoor temperature T℃ of the environment where the air conditioner is located is obtained. For example, the specified windshield mode can be the large windshield mode.

[0109] In step S1202, when the indoor temperature reaches the overshoot threshold temperature, the compressor is controlled to stop, and the number of times the compressor stops due to temperature overshoot is updated.

[0110] In this step, when the indoor temperature reaches the overshoot threshold temperature T-2℃, the compressor is stopped, and the compressor's temperature overshoot shutdown count is updated. This process can be repeated, and the temperature overshoot shutdown count is the cumulative shutdown count.

[0111] In step S1203, if the number of temperature overshoot shutdowns reaches the set number, a self-learning control mode is entered. Specifically, in cooling mode, the overshoot threshold temperature is lower than the air conditioner's set temperature. In heating mode, the overshoot threshold temperature is higher than the air conditioner's set temperature.

[0112] In this step, if the number of temperature overshoot shutdowns reaches the set number, the system enters the self-learning control mode.

[0113] Specifically, in cooling mode, the overshoot threshold temperature is lower than the air conditioner's set temperature. In heating mode, the overshoot threshold temperature is higher than the air conditioner's set temperature. For example, this setting can be for two cycles. In heating mode, the overshoot threshold temperature can be T+2℃.

[0114] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, entering the self-learning control mode may include the following steps:

[0115] In step S12031, a prompt message is sent to the terminal device corresponding to the air conditioner. The prompt message is used to instruct the terminal device to output a reminder message. The reminder message includes a message to prompt the user whether to allow the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0116] In this step, if the number of temperature overshoot shutdowns reaches a set number (e.g., 2 times), a prompt message is sent to the terminal device corresponding to the air conditioner. This prompt message is used to instruct the terminal device to output a reminder message, which includes a message to prompt the user whether to allow the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0117] In some embodiments, communication between the air conditioner and the terminal device can be conducted via a cloud server.

[0118] In step S12032, upon receiving an instruction from the terminal device allowing the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode, the air conditioner enters the self-learning control mode.

[0119] In this step, upon receiving an instruction from the terminal device allowing the air conditioner to enter self-learning control mode, the system enters self-learning control mode.

[0120] In some embodiments, communication between the air conditioner and the terminal device can be conducted via a cloud server.

[0121] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0122] In step S140, when the windshield mode is the specified windshield mode, the initial indoor temperature when the air conditioner enters the specified windshield mode is obtained.

[0123] In this step, when the windshield mode is a specified windshield mode (e.g., large windshield mode), the initial indoor temperature T0℃ when the air conditioner enters the large windshield mode is obtained.

[0124] In step S150, when the indoor temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located reaches the set temperature, the running time taken from the initial indoor temperature to the set temperature is obtained.

[0125] In this step, when the indoor temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located reaches the set temperature T℃, the runtime t taken from the initial indoor temperature to the set temperature is obtained.

[0126] In step S160, the environmental parameters are determined based on the initial indoor temperature, the running time, and the air volume of the air conditioner at the designated windshield. The environmental parameters include the indoor cooling area.

[0127] In this step, environmental parameters, including the indoor cooling area S, are determined based on the initial indoor temperature T0℃, the running time t to reach the set temperature T℃, and the air volume Q of the air conditioner at the specified fan speed. The determination of the indoor cooling area S based on the initial indoor temperature T0℃, the running time t to reach the set temperature T℃, and the air volume Q of the air conditioner at the specified fan speed is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0128] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, in the self-learning control mode, determining a wind speed that matches the environmental parameters of the environment in which the air conditioner is located, and controlling the air conditioner to operate at the wind speed, may include the following steps:

[0129] In step S1301, under the self-learning control mode, a matching wind speed is determined based on the indoor cooling area, the current indoor temperature, and the set temperature.

[0130] In this step, under the self-learning control mode, the matching fan speed F is determined based on the indoor cooling area S, the current indoor temperature T1℃, and the set temperature T℃. The determination of the matching fan speed F based on the indoor cooling area S, the current indoor temperature T1℃, and the set temperature T℃ is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0131] In step S1302, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the specified fan speed.

[0132] In this step, the air conditioner is controlled to operate at the matched fan speed F. This solves the compressor overshoot shutdown problem, reduces temperature fluctuations, maintains a relatively stable indoor temperature for users, improves user comfort, and provides a better air conditioning experience.

[0133] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. The terminal device includes a voice device with voice interaction capabilities, and / or a mobile terminal. Figure 6 As shown, sending a prompt message to the terminal device corresponding to the air conditioner, the prompt message being used to instruct the terminal device to output a reminder message, may include the following steps:

[0134] In step S12031, a prompt message is sent to the voice device to output a voice reminder message through the voice device; and / or, a prompt message is sent to the mobile terminal to output a push message through the mobile terminal, the push message including a pop-up prompt.

[0135] In this step, the air conditioner sends a prompt message to the voice device, which then outputs a voice reminder. For example, the voice device could be a Xiaomi smart speaker. After receiving the prompt message from the air conditioner, the Xiaomi smart speaker could output a voice reminder, asking the user whether to allow the air conditioner to enter self-learning control mode.

[0136] In some embodiments, to avoid disturbing users, a voice device with voice interaction function can be set to provide voice reminders during a first specified time period, such as from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and the voice reminders can be stopped from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM.

[0137] And / or, the air conditioner sends a notification message to the mobile terminal to output push messages through the mobile terminal, including pop-up notifications. For example, after receiving a notification message from the air conditioner, the mobile terminal can push a message to the user, such as a pop-up asking the user whether to allow the air conditioner to enter self-learning control mode.

[0138] In some embodiments, to avoid disturbing users, the mobile terminal can be set to push messages during a second specified time period, such as from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., and to stop pushing messages during other time periods.

[0139] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0140] In step S170, when the unit is turned on again and the windshield mode is the specified windshield mode, the air conditioner is controlled to automatically enter the self-learning control mode.

[0141] In this step, when the air conditioner is turned on again, and the fan mode is set to the specified mode, the air conditioner will automatically enter the self-learning control mode by default. This improves user convenience and the intelligence of the air conditioner, thereby increasing user satisfaction.

[0142] Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment. The reminder message further includes: a message for reminding the user whether to perform manual adjustment, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0143] In step S180, upon receiving a manual adjustment command from the terminal device for manually adjusting the airflow, the system operates according to the wind speed and damper corresponding to the manual adjustment command.

[0144] In this step, upon receiving a manual adjustment command from the terminal device for manually adjusting the airflow, the system operates according to the corresponding fan speed and setting. For example, when the user selects to manually adjust the airflow, the system operates according to the fan speed and setting specified in the manual adjustment command.

Figure 11 As shown, the step of sending a corresponding instruction to the air conditioner to control it to enter the self-learning control mode based on the user's feedback operation may include the following steps:

[0162] In step S2301a, the voice feedback message from the user based on the voice reminder message is obtained, and the voice feedback message is identified to determine whether the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0163] In this step, a voice-interactive device acquires the user's voice feedback messages based on the voice prompts, recognizes the voice feedback messages, and determines whether the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode. For example, the voice-interactive device could be a Xiaomi smart speaker, which can acquire and recognize the user's voice feedback messages based on the voice prompts to determine whether the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0164] In step S2302a, when it is determined that the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode, a corresponding instruction is sent to the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0165] In this step, when the voice device with voice interaction function determines that the user has allowed the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode, it sends the corresponding instruction to the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0173] In step S2301b, the user's selection operation based on the reminder message is obtained, and it is determined whether the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0174] In this step, the mobile terminal obtains the user's selection based on the prompt message feedback and determines whether the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode. For example, the mobile terminal can determine that the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode when the user selects "yes" to reply to the pop-up message asking whether to allow the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode, and determine that the user does not allow the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode when the user selects "no" or "manual adjustment".

[0175] In step S2302b, when it is determined that the user allows the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode, a corresponding instruction is sent to the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

[0176] In this step, when the mobile terminal determines that the user has allowed the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode, it sends the corresponding instruction to the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to enter the self-learning control mode.

The reminder message further includes: a message for reminding the user whether to perform manual adjustment, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the method may further include the following steps:

[0178] In step S240, if it is determined from the user's feedback operation that the user has chosen to perform manual adjustment, a manual adjustment command triggered by the manual airflow adjustment operation is obtained.

[0179] In this step, if the terminal device determines that the user has chosen to manually adjust the airflow based on the user's feedback, it will obtain the manual adjustment command triggered by the manual airflow adjustment operation.

[0180] In step S250, the manual adjustment command is sent to the air conditioner to control the air conditioner to operate according to the wind speed and fan speed specified in the manual adjustment.

[0181] In this step, the terminal device sends a manual adjustment command to the air conditioner to control it to operate at the specified fan speed and setting.

[0182] In some embodiments, the method further includes: sending a command to the air conditioner to turn off self-learning based on the user's operation, so as to control the air conditioner to turn off the self-learning control mode.
