[0025] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] This embodiment provides an adaptive control method for an air conditioner. This method can be applied to an adaptive control system for an air conditioner. The adaptive control system includes a control cloud and an edge control terminal. The control cloud and the edge control terminal are communicatively connected. The edge control terminal is installed in the air conditioner. (See example...) Figure 1 The flowchart of the adaptive control method for the air conditioner shown is shown. The method mainly includes the following steps S102 to S106: Step S102: Obtain the device status time-series data of the air conditioner, obtain the time-series environmental data and user habit history data; The hardware of the aforementioned edge control terminal includes a data acquisition module, an edge computing module (embedded processor), an air conditioner execution module (compressor, fan, and valve control unit, etc.), and a communication module (such as a Wi-Fi / BLE / 5G module). The aforementioned data acquisition module includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an air quality sensor, a power sensor, an equipment status monitoring unit, and a user command receiving unit. The hardware of the control cloud includes a server cluster, a cloud database (also known as a database storage unit), and a model training unit.
[0028] The edge control terminal collects device status time-series data, time-series environmental data, and user habit history data through the data acquisition module. The edge control terminal then sends the collected device status time-series data, time-series environmental data, and user habit history data to the control cloud through the communication module. The control cloud stores the received device status time-series data, time-series environmental data, and user habit history data in the cloud database.
[0029] Various sensors are deployed in the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner and at the user interface. Temperature / humidity sensors collect real-time indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity (accuracy ±0.1℃ / ±1%RH), air quality sensors monitor indoor PM2.5, formaldehyde and other indicators, power sensors monitor the real-time power consumption of the compressor and fan, equipment status monitoring unit collects status data such as compressor cumulative running time, filter pressure difference and fault codes, and user command receiving module records operation data such as set temperature, start-up and shutdown time and operating mode.
[0030] In one embodiment, the aforementioned device status time-series data includes the cumulative running time of the air conditioner's compressor and the trend of filter pressure difference; the time-series environmental data includes outdoor ambient temperature, humidity, and light intensity data for a future preset duration (weather forecast); and the user habit history data includes historical set temperature data and historical set wind speed data set by the user.
[0031] Step S104: Input the equipment status time series data, time series environment data and user habit history data into the pre-trained prediction model, and make future operating condition predictions based on the prediction model to obtain the future operating condition prediction results. After receiving device status time-series data, time-series environmental data, and historical user habit data, the cloud database analyzes and learns based on existing historical operation datasets, device model characteristics, group user behavior models, and environmental prediction information, using a deep neural network intelligent control algorithm built into the cloud.
[0032] The aforementioned prediction model can be a deep neural network. This model is used to proactively perceive and quantify the situation of the air conditioning system. It is trained on a dataset of labeled future operating conditions, including time-series data of equipment status, time-series environmental data, and historical user habit data. The training objective of the prediction model is to accurately predict and output the system's demand and status forecasts for a future period (such as the next cycle) based on the input data. The prediction results can include predictions of room temperature changes, expected heat load, equipment performance degradation (component life prediction), and equipment operating power. The prediction model provides a forward-looking basis for the control model, enabling the system to anticipate changes rather than simply respond to them.
[0033] See also Figure 2 The flowchart shown illustrates the training process of the prediction model. After normalizing the dataset samples, they are input into the prediction model (such as a Transformer model or a deep neural network model) for forward propagation. Then, loss is calculated, and backpropagation is performed to optimize the weight parameters. The output of the prediction model is obtained, and the accuracy is calculated based on the output. The training is repeated multiple times until the preset number of training iterations is reached, resulting in the trained control model.
[0034] The control cloud inputs device status time-series data, time-series environmental data, and user habit history data into a pre-trained prediction model, enabling the prediction model to output future operating condition prediction results. These future operating condition prediction results include future indoor environmental conditions, expected heat load of the air conditioner, future equipment performance degradation prediction results, and future equipment operating power prediction results. These future operating condition prediction results can provide the control model with a basis for generating control parameters.
[0035] Step S106: Input the future operating condition prediction results into the pre-trained control model to determine the optimal set of control parameters corresponding to the maximum value of the objective function of the control model under the future operating conditions. The control model in the cloud can identify the optimal combination of operating control parameters under different operating conditions, and then generate an optimal control parameter set, which may include compressor frequency, fan speed and set temperature; so that the air conditioner can adjust the control parameters based on the optimal control parameter set.
[0036] Step S108: Send the optimal control parameter set to the edge control terminal so that the edge control terminal can drive the air conditioner to operate based on the optimal control parameter set.
[0037] The cloud-based control system sends the generated optimal combination of operating control parameters to the edge control unit, enabling the air conditioner to automatically adjust its control parameters based on the optimal set of control parameters. This improves the air conditioner's energy efficiency, optimizes comfort, and extends the equipment's lifespan.
[0038] After the air conditioner operates based on the optimal set of control parameters, the edge control terminal can also collect the actual operating data (including equipment status time-series data and actual user habit data) and actual time-series environmental data of the air conditioner after operating based on the optimal set of control parameters and send them to the control cloud. This allows the control cloud to continuously perform online incremental training and iterative optimization of the prediction model and control model based on the actual effect data after execution, thereby continuously improving the prediction accuracy and the effectiveness of the control strategy. This enables the entire system to have self-evolution capabilities, forming a closed-loop optimization system of "monitoring-learning-adjustment". At the same time, the intelligent algorithm built into the control cloud will continuously learn and iterate based on new user data.
[0039] The adaptive control method for air conditioners provided in this embodiment predicts future operating conditions by inputting equipment status time-series data, time-series environmental data, and historical user habit data into a prediction model. It can accurately perceive multi-dimensional data such as environment, equipment, and user habits. By inputting the prediction results of future operating conditions into the control model, the optimal parameter combination under different operating conditions can be calculated. It can dynamically adapt to scene changes and optimize control parameters, thereby reducing air conditioning energy consumption, achieving precise energy saving, and improving indoor environmental comfort.
[0040] In one implementation, the control model includes a neural network model. This embodiment provides training steps for the control model, including: Obtain the training set of the control model; wherein, the training set of the control model includes multiple operating condition data and the corresponding set of optimal control parameters under each operating condition data; The training set of the control model is input into the control model for model training until the objective function of the control model reaches the optimal value, thus obtaining the trained control model.
[0041] After normalizing the training set, it is input into the control model (deep neural network model) for forward propagation, then loss calculation is performed, and backpropagation is performed to optimize the weight parameters to obtain the output of the control model. The optimization target score is calculated based on the output, and multiple iterations of training are performed until the value of the objective function reaches the optimal value, thus obtaining the trained control model.
[0042] The control model is the core of generating optimal control strategies in the cloud, see, for example... Figure 3 The adaptive control flowchart of the air conditioner shown illustrates that the control model receives future operating condition predictions from the prediction model and performs multi-objective optimization calculations based on the current set targets (i.e., the current set temperature, set fan speed, and compressor frequency). The goal is to find an optimal set of control parameters that maximizes the defined comprehensive utility function while satisfying the predicted scenario and user constraints. The control model sends the generated optimal control parameter set to the edge control terminal located within the air conditioner. The edge control terminal drives the air conditioner based on this optimal control parameter set. After the air conditioner operates based on the optimal control parameter set, the edge control terminal can also send the actual operating data of the air conditioner to the prediction and control models to update and optimize them.
[0043] In one implementation, the objective function of the control model is related to the energy consumption parameters, comfort parameters, and equipment loss parameters of the air conditioner.
[0044] In one implementation, the objective function (i.e., the loss function) of the control model is calculated as follows:
[0045] in, To optimize the objective, Energy consumption parameters For comfort parameters, These are equipment loss parameters. , and These are weighting coefficients, energy consumption parameters related to the actual power of the air conditioner in the current cycle, comfort parameters related to indoor ambient temperature, indoor humidity and air conditioner noise, and equipment loss parameters related to vibration data, actual power and continuous operation time of the equipment in the current cycle.
[0046] In one implementation, the formula for calculating the comfort parameter is:
[0047] in, Let be the indoor ambient temperature in the i-th cycle (i.e., the current cycle). Let be the indoor humidity during the i-th cycle. Let i be the indoor noise level during the i-th cycle. , and These are the weighting coefficients.
[0048] In one implementation, the formula for calculating the equipment loss parameters is:
[0049] in, Let be the power in the i-th cycle. The vibration data for the i-th cycle (such as vibration frequency or vibration velocity). Let be the continuous operating time of the device in the i-th cycle (i.e., the total duration from the start time to the current cycle). , and These are the weighting coefficients.
[0050] In one implementation, the formula for calculating energy consumption parameters is:
[0051] in, Let be the power in the i-th cycle. It represents the duration of the i-th cycle (i.e., the duration after the start of the i-th cycle). The actual power can be calculated by detecting the operating voltage and current of the air conditioner in the current cycle i, or it can be calculated using the following formula:
[0052] in, This represents the power during the (i-1)th cycle (i.e., the power of the air conditioner in the previous cycle). This is the set of optimal control parameters output from the control model of the previous cycle and applied to the air conditioner. The result function is the optimal set of control parameters output by the control model in the (i-1)th cycle, applied to the air conditioner, representing the impact on the air conditioner's power.
[0053] In one embodiment, prior to the step of inputting the future operating condition prediction results into the pre-trained control model, the method provided in this embodiment further includes: After the air conditioner operates based on the optimal control parameter set of the previous cycle, the actual power of the air conditioner in the current cycle is obtained, and the actual power of the current cycle is input into the control model to update the objective function of the control model.
[0054] By updating the control model based on the actual operating parameters of the air conditioner, the control model has the ability to continuously learn. As the operating time increases, the control strategy is continuously optimized, achieving "the more it is used, the smarter it becomes".

It has wide adaptability, supporting air conditioning equipment of different brands and models. By adjusting the model input parameters and weight coefficients, it can adapt to different scenario needs such as home and commercial use. The dual models (prediction model and control model) have continuous learning capabilities. As the operating time increases, the control strategy is continuously optimized, achieving "the more you use it, the smarter it becomes."
