AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing air conditioners that use dust sensors to detect oil fumes are costly, and the fumes may damage infrared or laser devices, affecting the reliability of the detection.

Method used

The TVOC detection unit, including a heating subunit and a sensing subunit, detects pollutants in the air by measuring the difference between the actual resistance value and the initial resistance value. It uses a low-cost metal oxide sensor chip to avoid the influence of oil fumes.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the cost of air conditioners, improves the stability and accuracy of oil fume detection, can quickly identify the types and concentrations of pollutants, intelligently adjusts the operating status of air conditioners and range hoods, extends the life of air conditioners, and saves energy and reduces emissions.

Abstract

The application discloses an air conditioner, which comprises a shell, an air inlet and an air outlet arranged on the shell, a heat exchanger positioned in the interior of the shell, an indoor fan for blowing the air input by the air inlet into the heat exchanger, so that the heat exchanger exchanges heat with the blown air, and the heat-exchanged air is blown out by the air outlet, a TVOC detection unit arranged at the air inlet, the TVOC detection unit comprising a heating subunit for providing a heating function, a sensitive subunit for reacting with the air input by the air inlet under the heating action of the heating subunit to output an actual resistance value, and a controller connected with the TVOC detection unit and configured to determine the pollutant information in the air according to the actual resistance value and an initial resistance value. The air conditioner can detect the oil fume through the TVOC detection unit, can effectively reduce the cost of the air conditioner and improve the stability of the air conditioner in detecting the oil fume.
