[0027] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings will be described in detail, and in all the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described through the following reference drawings are illustrative and are for explaining the present application, and should not be understood as limitations on the present application.
[0028] In order to clearly explain the air conditioner and the airflow control method, device, and medium thereof according to the embodiment of the present application, the following description will be given with reference to the flowchart of the airflow control method by the air conditioner shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the airflow control method by the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application includes S11 of determining spatial position information including the mounting position of the air conditioner and the corresponding position characteristic angle in the room of the air conditioner, S13 of determining compensation parameters based on the position characteristic angle and the mounting position, and S15 of correcting and controlling the airflow parameters of the air conditioner based on the compensation parameters.
[0029] According to the air-blowing control method for an air-conditioning device of the present application, spatial position information of the air-conditioning device within a room is automatically detected, and air-blowing parameters of the air-conditioning device are automatically adjusted based on the detected spatial position information, and the operation of the air-conditioning device is controlled based on the adjusted air-blowing parameters, thereby reducing user operation costs, providing the user with a smart and accurate air-blowing service, and improving the user experience.
[0030] In the related art, for a typical air conditioner, it is not possible to self-detect its own installation position in a room, and its corresponding remote control does not have any relevant function settings. If the air conditioner is installed in a position close to the left wall or close to the right wall, the air conditioner may sweep air to the left and right according to a preset air flow control policy and blow air towards the left or right wall, which is likely to cause waste of cool air and reduce the overall energy saving performance of the air conditioner. The solution is that the user needs to manually adjust and fix the air flow angle of the left and right air guide plates. In this way, it can be understood that not only does it increase the operation cost for the user, but if the air conditioner continues to blow air towards a certain fixed angle, it cannot meet the user's need for even air flow and is likely to harm the user's physical health. For high-end air conditioners, they cannot detect their own mounting position in the room by themselves, and the installer needs to set the mounting position of the air conditioner on the corresponding remote control. However, the relevant settings are relatively rough, and only the rough mounting position of the air conditioner can be set, so the precision of the air flow control is still poor. Furthermore, if the mounting position of the air conditioner changes, the mounting position needs to be re-set, otherwise there will be the same defects that ordinary air conditioners have.
[0031] That is, in the related technologies, air conditioners cannot self-detect their own mounting position in a room and automatically adjust the air conditioning parameters of the air conditioner according to their own mounting position in a room. As a result, the air conditioners in the related technologies have problems such as low intelligence, low air conditioning control accuracy, and complicated operation, which affects the user experience.
[0032] In the air flow control method by an air conditioner of the present application, the air conditioner automatically determines its own mounting position in the room, the user's position in the room, and the position characteristic angle corresponding to the mounting position, determines compensation parameters according to the automatically determined mounting position and the automatically determined position characteristic angle, and corrects the air flow parameters of the air conditioner based on the compensation parameters, so that when performing air flow control, the air conditioner can be automatically controlled based on the corrected air flow parameters, thereby increasing the intelligence of the air conditioner and achieving relatively accurate air flow control without the user needing to perform complex operations, which is helpful to improving the user experience.
[0033] Specifically, the air conditioner includes, but is not limited to, a wall-mounted air conditioner. In some embodiments, the air conditioner itself may include a radar or other position detection sensor, and the spatial location information of the air conditioner in the room may be automatically determined by analyzing the acquired radar data or other position detection sensor data. In some embodiments, the spatial location information of the air conditioner in the room may also be automatically generated by other home appliances, and the air conditioner may communicate with the other home appliances to obtain its own spatial location information. The other home appliances may include, but are not limited to, a television, a water dispenser, a vacuum robot, another air conditioner, etc. In other embodiments, the spatial location information may be actively input by a user to meet the control needs of different users, and is not limited thereto.
[0034] The corresponding relationships between different position characteristic angles, different mounting positions and compensation parameters can be pre-calibrated and stored, so that after the mounting positions and position characteristic angles are determined, the corresponding compensation parameters can be quickly and directly determined by combining the corresponding relationships. The corresponding relationships do not need to be pre-calibrated, and after the mounting positions and position characteristic angles are determined, the corresponding compensation parameters can be calculated in real time, so that storage space can be saved.
[0035] The air-blowing parameters of the air conditioner include, but are not limited to, the left and right air guide angles, the up and down air guide angles, the air-blowing time, etc. The air-blowing parameters of the air conditioner may be parameters that are set in advance without considering different spatial position information, and may be stored in the air conditioner or in the cloud. When the air-blowing parameters are stored in the cloud, the air conditioner can communicate with the cloud to obtain the air-blowing parameters.
[0036] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device's air distribution parameters may be related to the air conditioning device's operating mode and the user's location. The operating mode may include a function mode and an air distribution mode, the function mode may include an avoidance mode and a normal mode, and the air distribution mode may include a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, a heating mode, etc. The air distribution parameters corresponding to each operating mode and the user's location may be partially the same or completely different.
[0037] Referring to FIG. 2 , in one embodiment, step S11 includes: determining a first target wall corner and a second target wall corner in a room, where the first target wall corner, the second target wall corner and the position of the air conditioner are on the same horizontal plane, the first target wall corner and the second target wall corner are both located on one side of the air conditioner, and the first target wall corner and the position of the air conditioner are located on the same wall surface; S113 determining a line connecting the first target wall corner and the position of the air conditioner as a first angle line, a line connecting the second target wall corner and the position of the air conditioner as a second angle line, and an angle between the first angle line and the second angle line as a position characteristic angle; and S115 determining an installation position based on the position characteristic angle.
[0038] In this way, the position characteristic angle and the mounting position when the air conditioner is mounted in the room can be automatically determined. Since the mounting position of the air conditioner has a large effect on the left and right sweeping wind which is a horizontal sweeping wind and a small effect on the up and down sweeping wind which is a vertical sweeping wind, the position characteristic angle of the air conditioner is determined based on two wall corners in the same horizontal plane as the position of the air conditioner, not on two wall corners in the same vertical plane as the position of the air conditioner, and it can be seen that the compensation parameters determined based on the position characteristic angle in this way can better correct the air supply parameters of the air conditioner.
[0039] Specifically, the air conditioner may be mounted on a first wall in a room, and the mounting position may be understood as the position of the air conditioner relative to the first wall. The room includes a first side wall and a second side wall connected to the first wall on which the air conditioner is mounted, and a second wall connected to the first side wall and the second side wall and facing the first wall. The horizontal plane of the position of the air conditioner may intersect with the first wall and a first line segment, with the second wall and a second line segment, with the first side wall and a third line segment, and with the second side wall and a fourth line segment. Referring to FIG. 3, the first line segment Q1Q2, the second line segment Q3Q4, the third line segment Q1Q3, and the fourth line segment Q2Q4 may surround a rectangular closed space, and the four vertices Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 of the rectangular closed space may be understood as four wall corners. The first target wall corner can be understood as the vertex of one end of the third line segment Q1Q3 and the second target wall corner can be understood as the vertex of the other end of the third line segment Q1Q3, or the first target wall corner can be understood as the vertex of one end of the fourth line segment Q2Q4 and the second target wall corner can be understood as the vertex of the other end of the fourth line segment Q2Q4.
[0040] Furthermore, the air conditioning equipment may include a radar, and a rectangular coordinate system may be created with the position where the air conditioning equipment is located as the coordinate origin O, and according to the echo data received by the radar, the indoor space and the position where the air conditioning equipment is located may determine the coordinates of four wall corners on the same horizontal plane, and further, an angle value of the angle between the second angle line and the first angle line may be calculated, the angle value is set as a position characteristic angle, and the mounting position is determined based on the angle value.
[0041] In one example, the first target wall corner is Q1 and the second target wall corner is Q3, the first angle line is OQ1 and the second angle line is OQ3, the coordinates of the second target wall corner Q3 and the coordinates of the first target wall corner Q1 are known, and the line Q1Q3 connecting the first target wall corner Q1 and the second target wall corner Q3, the first angle line OQ1 and the second angle line OQ3 together form a right triangle, and the position characteristic angle α can be calculated by α=arccos(a / b), where α indicates the length of the first angle line OQ1 and b indicates the length of the second angle line OQ3.
[0042] It is important to point out that the position characteristic angle is an acute angle between the first angle line and the second angle line, not an obtuse angle between the first angle line and the second angle line. The position characteristic angle is less than or equal to 90 degrees.
[0043] In one embodiment, the third target wall corner is located on the same wall as the first target wall corner and the location of the air conditioner, and the first target wall corner and the third target wall corner are located on opposite sides of the air conditioner, respectively, and step S115 includes: S1157, when the position characteristic angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to the first angle, determining that a distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is greater than a distance between the air conditioner and a third target wall corner; S1158, if the position characteristic angle is greater than the first angle and less than or equal to the second angle, determining that a distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is approximately equal to a distance between the air conditioner and a third target wall corner; and S1159, determining that the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is less than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner if the position characteristic angle is greater than the second angle and less than or equal to 90°.
[0044] In this manner, it is possible to automatically determine whether the air conditioner is closer to the first target wall corner, closer to the third target wall corner, or at a distance approximately equal to the first target wall corner and the third target wall corner based on the position characteristic angle.
[0045] Specifically, the first angle may be 40° and the second angle may be 50°, that is, when the position characteristic angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 40°, it can be automatically determined that the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is greater than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner; when the position characteristic angle is greater than 40° and less than or equal to 50°, it can be automatically determined that the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is approximately equal to the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner; when the position characteristic angle is greater than 50° and less than or equal to 90°, it can be automatically determined that the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is smaller than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner.
[0046] In one embodiment, the first target wall corner is located on the right side of the air conditioner and the third target wall corner is located on the left side of the air conditioner, and step S13 includes: S134: if the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is greater than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, S135: if the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is approximately equal to the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, S136: if the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is less than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, S137: if the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is less than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, S138: if the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is less than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, S139: if the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is less than the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, S140:
[0047] In this way, it is useful to select an appropriate compensation parameter according to the installation position of the air conditioner and perform correction control for different installation positions. Generally, when the air conditioner is installed at an intermediate position, that is, the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is approximately equal to the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, the air flow parameter of the air conditioner is preset, so that when automatically determining that the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is approximately equal to the distance between the air conditioner and the third target wall corner, the preset air flow parameter does not need to be corrected, that is, the compensation parameter is determined to be 0°, and thus it can be understood that the preset air flow parameter is adopted to control the operation of the air conditioner.
[0048] Specifically, the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is a positive value. If the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is α, the negative value of the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is -α. If the distance between the air conditioner and the wall corner on the right side of the vehicle is closer, the compensation parameter is a negative value, and if the distance between the air conditioner and the wall corner on the left side of the vehicle is closer, the compensation parameter is a positive value. The compensation parameter is an angle value for compensating for the angle.
[0049] Referring to FIG. 4 , in one embodiment, the first target wall corner and the second target wall corner are both located on the right side of the air conditioner, and step S115 includes: S1151 determining that the air conditioner is installed in a left position if the position characteristic angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to a first angle; S1152 determining that the air conditioner is installed in a middle position if the position characteristic angle is greater than the first angle and less than or equal to a second angle, and the first angle is less than or equal to the second angle; and S1153 determining that the air conditioner is installed in a right position if the position characteristic angle is greater than the second angle and less than or equal to 90°.
[0050] In this way, it is possible to automatically determine whether the mounting position of the air conditioner is in the left position, the middle position, or the right position based on the position characteristic angle.
[0051] Specifically, the first angle may be 40° and the second angle may be 50°, that is, when the position characteristic angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 40°, it can be automatically determined that the installation position of the air conditioner is in the left position; when the position characteristic angle is greater than 40° and less than or equal to 50°, it can be automatically determined that the installation position of the air conditioner is in the middle position; when the position characteristic angle is greater than 50° and less than or equal to 90°, it can be automatically determined that the installation position of the air conditioner is in the right position.
[0052] It is necessary to point out that the right side of the air conditioner should be understood as the right side of the air conditioner itself, that is, the right side along the air blowing direction of the air conditioner, and should not be directly understood as the right side of the user's line of sight, and the right side of the user's line of sight may be in two directions completely opposite to the right side of the air conditioner. The air conditioner can predetermine two target wall corners on its right side, determine the first target wall corner and the second target wall corner of the two target wall corners on its right side, and further determine the mounting position of the air conditioner based on the two target wall corners on its right side. Similarly, the left side position should be understood as the left side position of the wall itself, and cannot be directly understood as the left side position of the user's line of sight, and the right side position should be understood as the right side position of the wall itself, and cannot be directly understood as the right side position of the user's line of sight.
[0053] Referring to FIG. 5 , in one embodiment, the first target wall corner and the second target wall corner are both located on the left side of the air conditioner, and step S115 includes: S1154 determining that the air conditioner is installed in a right position if the position characteristic angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to a first angle; S1155 determining that the air conditioner is installed in a middle position if the position characteristic angle is greater than the first angle and less than or equal to a second angle, and the first angle is less than or equal to the second angle; and S1156 determining that the air conditioner is installed in a left position if the position characteristic angle is greater than the second angle and less than or equal to 90°.
[0054] In this way, it is possible to automatically determine whether the mounting position of the air conditioner is the left position, the middle position, or the right position based on the position characteristic angle.
[0055] In this way, it is possible to automatically determine whether the mounting position of the air conditioner is in the left position, the middle position, or the right position based on the position characteristic angle.
[0056] Specifically, the first angle may be 40° and the second angle may be 50°, that is, when the position characteristic angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 40°, it can be automatically determined that the installation position of the air conditioner is in the right position; when the position characteristic angle is greater than 40° and less than or equal to 50°, it can be automatically determined that the installation position of the air conditioner is in the middle position; when the position characteristic angle is greater than 50° and less than or equal to 90°, it can be automatically determined that the installation position of the air conditioner is in the left position.
[0057] It is necessary to point out that the left side of the air conditioner should be understood as the left side of the air conditioner itself, that is, the left side along the air blowing direction of the air conditioner, and should not be directly understood as the left side of the user's line of sight, and the left side of the user's line of sight may be in two directions completely opposite to the left side of the air conditioner. The air conditioner can predetermine two target wall corners on its left side, determine the first target wall corner and the second target wall corner of the two target wall corners on its left side, and further determine the mounting position of the air conditioner based on the two target wall corners on its left side. Similarly, the left side position should be understood as the left side position of the wall itself, and cannot be directly understood as the left side position of the user's line of sight, and the right side position should be understood as the right side position of the wall itself, and cannot be directly understood as the right side position of the user's line of sight.
[0058] Referring to FIG. 6, in one embodiment, step S13 includes S131 of setting an angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle as the compensation parameter when the air conditioner is installed in the left position, S132 of setting 0° as the compensation parameter when the air conditioner is installed in the middle position, and S133 of setting a negative value of the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle as the compensation parameter when the air conditioner is installed in the right position.
[0059] In this way, it is useful to select an appropriate compensation parameter according to the mounting position of the air conditioner and perform correction control for different mounting positions. Generally, when the air conditioner is mounted in an intermediate position, the air flow parameter of the air conditioner is preset, so that when the mounting position of the air conditioner is automatically determined to be the intermediate position, the preset air flow parameter does not need to be corrected, that is, the compensation parameter is 0°, and thus it can be understood that the preset air flow parameter is adopted to control the operation of the air conditioner.
[0060] Specifically, the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is a positive value. If the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is α, the negative value of the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is −α. The compensation parameter is an angle value for compensating for the angle.
[0061] Referring to FIG. 7, in one embodiment, step S15 includes steps S151 of determining target angles of left and right air guides of the air conditioner, and S153 of correcting and controlling the target angles based on the compensation parameters.
[0062] In this way, it is possible to provide the user with smart and accurate air blowing services.
[0063] Specifically, in one embodiment, the target angles of the left and right airflows of the air conditioner are determined based on the operation mode of the air conditioner and the position of the user. The operation mode can include a function mode and an airflow mode, the function mode can include a human avoidance mode and a normal mode, and the airflow mode can include a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, a heating mode, etc. The user's position can be determined by a radar mounted on the air conditioner. The target angles of the left and right airflows corresponding to each operation mode and the user's position can be partially the same or completely different. A mapping relationship between each operation mode, the user's position, and the target angles of the left and right airflows is created in advance, and thus the target angles of the left and right airflows of the air conditioner are quickly determined based on the mapping relationship, the operation mode of the air conditioner, and the position of the user.
[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S153 includes S1531 of calculating a sum of the compensation parameter and the target angle, setting the sum as a corrected target angle, and controlling the air conditioner based on the corrected target angle.
[0065] In one embodiment, when the air conditioner is in a people avoidance mode, the method further includes: determining S21 that when the user is in a first position, the target angles of the left and right air guides of the air conditioner correspond to a third position; S23 that when the user is in a second position, the target angles of the left and right air guides of the air conditioner correspond to the first position and a third position, the first position, the second position and the third position being arranged sequentially in a horizontal direction, and the second position being between the first position and the third position; and S25 that when the user is in the third position, the target angles of the left and right air guides of the air conditioner correspond to the first position.
[0066] In this way, a policy for controlling airflow parameters in the crowd avoidance mode is prepared in advance, thereby achieving the effect of crowd avoidance.
[0067] Specifically, the user's position can include both a horizontal position and a near position at the same time, and referring to Figures 8 and 9, the user's horizontal position can include a first position (1), a second position (2) and a third position (3), and the user's near position can include position A, position B and position C. In this way, the airflow parameters of the air conditioner are preset for the purpose of avoiding people from two dimensions, the horizontal direction and the near direction.
[0068] The first position (1), the second position (2), and the third position (3) can be set based on the effective range of left and right air guide of the air conditioner, for example, if the effective range of left and right air guide of the air conditioner is 120°, the first position (1), the second position (2), and the third position (3) can be determined by dividing one area every 40°. The positions A, B, and C can be set based on the effective range of top and bottom air guide of the air conditioner, for example, if the effective range of top and bottom air guide of the air conditioner is 60°, the positions A, B, and C can be determined by dividing one area every 20°.
[0069] In the preset air conditioning equipment airflow parameters, when the function mode is a crowd avoidance mode and the airflow mode is a cooling mode, if it is detected that the user's horizontal position is in a first position (1), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to a third position (3), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is determined based on the user's perspective position, i.e., if the user's perspective position is in position A, the target angle of the up and down airflows is determined to correspond to position C, and if the user's perspective position is in position C, the target angle of the up and down airflows is determined to correspond to position D. It is determined that the target angle of the airflow corresponds to position A, and when the user's near or far position is at position B, position AB, position BC, position AC or position ABC, it is determined that the target angle of the upper and lower airflows is the upper limit of cooling, thereby avoiding as much as possible to blow air directly to the position where the user is located; when it is detected that the user's horizontal position is at a second position (2), it is determined that the target angle of the left and right airflows is a wide angle, and at the same time, the target angle of the upper and lower airflows is the upper limit of cooling, thereby avoiding as much as possible to blow air directly to the position where the user is located; When the user's position is detected to be in the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the first position (1), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is determined based on the user's near and far position; when the user's position is detected to be in the first position (1) and the second position (2), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the third position (3), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is set as the upper limit of cooling; when the user's position is detected to be in the second position (2) and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the first position (1), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is set as the upper limit of cooling. When it is determined that the reference angle corresponds to the first position (1), and at the same time, the target angles of the upper and lower airflows are set to the upper cooling limit; when it is determined that the user's position is in the first position (1) and the third position (3), it is determined that the target angles of the left and right airflows are centered, and at the same time, the target angles of the upper and lower airflows are set to the upper cooling limit; when it is determined that the user's position is in the first position (1), the second position (2), and the third position (3), it is determined that the target angles of the left and right airflows are centered, and at the same time, the target angles of the upper and lower airflows are set to the upper cooling limit.
[0070] In the preset air conditioning equipment airflow parameters, when the function mode is a people avoidance mode and the airflow mode is a dehumidification mode, when the horizontal position of the user is detected to be in the first position (1), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the third position (3), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is determined based on the user's near and far position, so that the dehumidification upper limit can be set uniformly, and direct airflow to the position where the user is located is avoided as much as possible; when the horizontal position of the user is detected to be in the second position (2), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to be a wide angle, and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is set as the cooling upper limit, so that direct airflow to the position where the user is located is avoided as much as possible; when the user's position is detected to be in the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the first position (1), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is determined to be The dehumidification upper limit can be set uniformly, and when the user's position is detected to be at the first position (1) and the second position (2), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the third position (3), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is set to the upper cooling limit; when the user's position is determined to be at the second position (2) and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the first position (1), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is set to the upper cooling limit; when the user's position is determined to be at the first position (1) and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to be centered, and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is set to the upper cooling limit; and when the user's position is determined to be at the first position (1), the second position (2), and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to be centered, and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflows is set to the upper cooling limit.
[0071] In the preset air conditioning equipment airflow parameters, when the function mode is a pedestrian avoidance mode and the airflow mode is a heating mode, if the horizontal position of the user is detected to be in a first position (1), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to a third position (3), if the horizontal position of the user is detected to be in a second position (2), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to be a wide angle, if the user's position is detected to be in a third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the first position (1), if the user's position is detected to be in a wide angle between the first position (1) and the second position (2), When the user's position is determined to be at the second position (2) and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the third position (3), when the user's position is determined to be at the second position (2) and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to correspond to the first position (1), when the user's position is determined to be at the first position (1) and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to be centered, when the user's position is determined to be at the first position (1), the second position (2), and the third position (3), the target angle of the left and right airflows is determined to be centered. In the heating mode, the target angles of the upper and lower airflow plates are uniformly set to the heating lower limit, and at the same time, the windless airflow plate is opened to further avoid people.
[0072] It is necessary to point out that the air conditioner may include a left air guide plate and a right air guide plate, and the left air guide plate and the right air guide plate may operate independently. The above "wide angle" may be understood as setting the left and right air guide target angles of the left and right air guide plates to correspond to the third position (3) and the right and left air guide target angles of the right and left air guide plates to correspond to the first position (1), so that the left and right air guide plates assume an "eight" shape to guide the air. The above "center alignment" may be understood as setting the left and right air guide plates to move in parallel, so that the air conditioner blows air to the area in front of itself. The above "cooling upper limit" may be understood as the limit position at which the upper and lower air guide plates of the air conditioner rotate upward in cooling mode. The above "dehumidification upper limit" may be understood as the limit position at which the upper and lower air guide plates of the air conditioner rotate upward in dehumidification mode. In some embodiments, the cooling upper limit and the dehumidification upper limit correspond to the same angle of the vertical sweep air, and in some embodiments, in order to prevent water vapor from condensing into droplets on the air guide plate in the cooling mode and flowing back into the air conditioner, the angle of the vertical sweep air corresponding to the cooling upper limit is smaller than the angle of the vertical sweep air corresponding to the dehumidification upper limit, for example, the cooling upper limit can be set to 20° above the horizontal plane, and the dehumidification upper limit can be set to 25° above the horizontal plane. The above-mentioned "lower limit of heating" can be understood as the limit position at which the upper and lower air guide plates of the air conditioner rotate downward in the heating mode, for example, 90° below the horizontal plane.
[0073] Furthermore, after determining the compensation parameter θ based on the spatial position information of the air conditioner in the room, the above-mentioned preset airflow parameters can be corrected and controlled. The corrected airflow parameters are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0074] [Table 1]
[0075] [Table 2]
[0076] Referring to Figure 10, Figure 10 is a schematic diagram showing one scene of the air flow control of the related art and the air flow control of the present method after an air conditioner (air conditioner) is shifted. As can be seen from the figure, in the people avoidance mode, when the user is in the first position (1), the target angle of the left and right airflow corresponds to the third position (3). After the air conditioner shifts to the right, if the user is still in the first position (1), the left and right airflow angles of the air conditioner in the related art may still maintain their original angles and may blow toward the user. However, the left and right airflow angles of the air conditioner in the present application are corrected based on the spatial position information of the air conditioner to avoid blowing toward the user and realize the function of avoiding people.
[0077] Referring to Figure 11, Figure 11 is a schematic diagram showing another scene of the air flow control of the related art after the air conditioner (air conditioner) is shifted and the air flow control of the present method. As can be seen from the figure, in the crowd avoidance mode, when the user is in the first position (1), the target angle of the left and right airflow corresponds to the third position (3). After the air conditioner shifts to the left, if the user is still in the first position (1), the left and right airflow angles of the air conditioner in the related art still maintain their original angles, which may continue to blow air to a wide area against the wall, wasting cool air; however, the left and right airflow angles of the air conditioner in the present application are corrected based on the spatial position information of the air conditioner, which can effectively reduce the situation of blowing air to the wall and at the same time ensure the function of crowd avoidance.
[0078] It is necessary to point out that the principle of the correction control of the airflow parameters of this method can be understood as follows: when the air conditioner is installed in the left position, the left and right airflow angles of the airflow parameters are all offset to the right by the position characteristic angle, and when the air conditioner is installed in the right position, the left and right airflow angles of the air conditioner are all offset to the left by the position characteristic angle. Therefore, when the angle value defined when the left and right air guide plates of the air conditioner face leftward is smaller than the angle value defined when the left and right air guide plates face rightward, for example, when the horizontal front angle of the left and right air guide plates is preset to 0 degrees, the left rotation angle of the left and right air guide plates is preset to a negative value, and the right rotation angle of the left and right air guide plates is preset to a positive value, or when the limit angle of the left rotation of the left and right air guide plates is preset to 0 degrees, and the angle of the left and right air guide plates is preset to gradually increase from left to right, the compensation parameters can be determined using the above steps S131, S132, and S133. If the angle value defined when the left and right air guide plates of the air conditioner face the left side is greater than the angle value defined when the left and right air guide plates face the right side, for example, if the horizontal forward angle of the left and right air guide plates is preset to 0 degrees, the left rotation angle of the left and right air guide plates to a positive value, and the right rotation angle of the left and right air guide plates to a negative value, or if the limit angle at which the left and right air guide plates rotate to the right is preset to 0 degrees and the angle at which the left and right air guide plates rotate from right to left is preset to gradually increase, when it is determined that the air conditioner is installed in the left position, a negative value of the position characteristic angle can be determined as the compensation parameter, when it is determined that the air conditioner is installed in the middle position, 0° can be determined as the compensation parameter, and when it is determined that the air conditioner is installed in the right position, the position characteristic angle can be directly determined as the compensation parameter.
[0079] In some embodiments, when the corrected left and right air guide angles exceed the rotation limits of the left and right air guide plates of the air conditioner, air blowing control is performed based on the angles corresponding to the rotation limits of the left and right air guide plates.
[0080] It should be noted that the specific numerical values mentioned above are merely for illustrating the implementation of the present application in detail as examples, and should not be understood as limitations on the present application. In other examples, embodiments, or examples, other numerical values can be selected based on the present application, and are not specifically limited here.
[0081] To realize the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further provides a computer-readable storage medium, which can realize the method for controlling airflow by an air conditioner according to any of the above-mentioned embodiments. A program for controlling airflow by an air conditioner is stored in the computer-readable storage medium according to the present application, and the method for controlling airflow by an air conditioner according to any of the above-mentioned embodiments is realized when the program is executed by a processor.
[0082] According to the computer-readable storage medium of the present application, spatial position information of an air conditioner in a room can be automatically detected, and the air conditioning parameters of the air conditioner can be automatically adjusted based on the detected spatial position information, and the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled based on the adjusted air conditioning parameters, thereby reducing the user's operation costs, providing the user with smart and accurate air conditioning services, and improving the user's experience.
[0083] In one example, when the airflow control program is executed by a processor, steps S11, S13, and S15 in the above embodiment can be realized.
[0084] In order to realize the above-mentioned embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner, which can realize the air supply control method by the air conditioner of any of the above-mentioned embodiments. Fig. 12 is a configuration block diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 12, the air conditioner 100 according to the present application includes a memory 102, a processor 104, and an air supply control program 106 by the air conditioner 100 that is stored in the memory 102 and can be operated by the processor 104, and when the processor 104 executes the air supply control program 106 by the air conditioner 100, it realizes the air supply control method by the air conditioner 100 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments.
[0085] According to the air conditioning equipment 100 of the present application, the spatial position information of the air conditioning equipment 100 within a room can be automatically detected, the air flow parameters of the air conditioning equipment 100 can be automatically adjusted based on the detected spatial position information, and the operation of the air conditioning equipment 100 can be controlled based on the adjusted air flow parameters, thereby reducing the user's operation costs, providing the user with a smart and accurate air flow service, and improving the user's experience.
[0086] In the related art, for a typical air conditioner, it is not possible to self-detect its own installation position in a room, and its corresponding remote control does not have any relevant function settings. If the air conditioner is installed in a position close to the left wall or close to the right wall, the air conditioner may sweep air to the left and right according to a preset air flow control policy and blow air towards the left or right wall, which is likely to cause waste of cool air and reduce the overall energy saving performance of the air conditioner. The solution is that the user needs to manually adjust and fix the air flow angle of the left and right air guide plates. In this way, it can be understood that not only does it increase the operation cost for the user, but if the air conditioner continues to blow air towards a certain fixed angle, it cannot meet the user's need for even air flow and is likely to harm the user's physical health. For high-end air conditioners, they cannot detect their own mounting position in the room by themselves, and the installer needs to set the mounting position of the air conditioner on the corresponding remote control. However, the relevant settings are relatively rough, and only the rough mounting position of the air conditioner can be set, so the precision of the air flow control is still poor. Furthermore, if the mounting position of the air conditioner changes, the mounting position needs to be re-set, otherwise there will be the same defects that ordinary air conditioners have.
[0087] That is, in the related technologies, air conditioners cannot self-detect their own mounting position in a room and automatically adjust the air conditioning parameters of the air conditioner according to their own mounting position in a room. As a result, the air conditioners in the related technologies have problems such as low intelligence, low air conditioning control accuracy, and complicated operation, which affects the user experience.
[0088] In the air conditioner of the present application, the air conditioner automatically determines its own mounting position in the room and a position characteristic angle corresponding to the mounting position, determines compensation parameters according to the automatically determined mounting position and the automatically determined position characteristic angle, and corrects the air supply parameters of the air conditioner based on the compensation parameters, so that when performing air supply control, the air conditioner can be automatically controlled based on the corrected air supply parameters, thereby increasing the intelligence of the air conditioner and achieving relatively accurate air supply control without the user needing to perform complex operations, which is helpful to improving the user experience.
[0089] Specifically, the air conditioner includes, but is not limited to, a wall-mounted air conditioner. In some embodiments, the air conditioner itself may include a radar or other position detection sensor, and may automatically determine the spatial location information of the air conditioner in the room and the user's location in the room by analyzing the acquired radar data or other position detection sensor data. In some embodiments, the spatial location information of the air conditioner in the room may also be automatically generated by other home appliances, and the air conditioner may communicate with the other home appliances to obtain its own spatial location information. The other home appliances may include, but are not limited to, a television, a water dispenser, a vacuum robot, another air conditioner, etc. In other embodiments, the spatial location information may be actively input by a user to meet the control needs of different users, and is not limited thereto.
[0090] The corresponding relationships between different position characteristic angles, different mounting positions and compensation parameters can be pre-calibrated and stored, so that after the mounting positions and position characteristic angles are determined, the corresponding compensation parameters can be quickly and directly determined by combining the corresponding relationships. The corresponding relationships do not need to be pre-calibrated, and after the mounting positions and position characteristic angles are determined, the corresponding compensation parameters can be calculated in real time, so that storage space can be saved.
[0091] The air-blowing parameters of the air conditioner include, but are not limited to, the left and right air guide angles, the up and down air guide angles, the air-blowing time, etc. The air-blowing parameters of the air conditioner may be parameters that are set in advance without considering different spatial position information, and may be stored in the air conditioner or in the cloud. When the air-blowing parameters are stored in the cloud, the air conditioner can communicate with the cloud to obtain the air-blowing parameters.
[0092] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device's air distribution parameters may be related to the air conditioning device's operating mode and the user's location. The operating mode may include a function mode and an air distribution mode, the function mode may include an avoidance mode and a normal mode, and the air distribution mode may include a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, a heating mode, etc. The air distribution parameters corresponding to each operating mode and the user's location may be partially the same or completely different.
[0093] In one example, when the airflow control program 106 is executed by the processor 104, steps S11, S13, and S15 in the above embodiment can be realized.
[0094] In order to realize the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further provides an airflow control device, which can realize the airflow control method by an air conditioner of any of the above embodiments. FIG. 13 is a configuration block diagram of an airflow control device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 13, an airflow control device 200 by an air conditioner of the present application includes a first determination module 202, a second determination module 204, and a control module 206. The first determination module 202 is used to determine spatial position information of the air conditioner in the room, and the spatial position information includes the mounting position of the air conditioner and the corresponding position characteristic angle. The second determination module 204 is used to determine compensation parameters based on the position characteristic angle and the mounting position. The control module 206 is used to correct and control the airflow parameters of the air conditioner based on the compensation parameters.
[0095] The air conditioning equipment airflow control device 200 of the present application automatically detects spatial position information of the air conditioning equipment within a room, and automatically adjusts the airflow parameters of the air conditioning equipment based on the detected spatial position information, and controls the operation of the air conditioning equipment based on the adjusted airflow parameters, thereby reducing user operation costs, providing the user with smart and accurate airflow services, and improving the user experience.
[0096] In one embodiment, the first determination module 202 includes a first determination unit, a calculation unit and a second determination unit. The first determination unit is used to realize the above step S111. The calculation unit is used to realize the above step S113. The second determination unit is used to realize the above step S115.
[0097] In this way, the position characteristic angle and the mounting position when the air conditioner is mounted in the room can be automatically determined. Since the mounting position of the air conditioner has a large effect on the left and right sweeping wind which is a horizontal sweeping wind and a small effect on the up and down sweeping wind which is a vertical sweeping wind, the position characteristic angle of the air conditioner is determined based on two wall corners in the same horizontal plane as the position of the air conditioner, not on two wall corners in the same vertical plane as the position of the air conditioner, and it can be seen that the compensation parameters determined based on the position characteristic angle in this way can better correct the air supply parameters of the air conditioner.
[0098] In one embodiment, the third target wall corner is on the same wall as the first target wall corner and the location of the air conditioner, the first target wall corner and the third target wall corner are respectively located on both sides of the air conditioner, and the second determination unit includes a seventh determination subunit, an eighth determination subunit and a ninth determination subunit. The seventh determination subunit is used to realize the above step S1157. The eighth determination subunit is used to realize the above step S1158. The ninth determination subunit is used to realize the above step S1159.
[0099] In one embodiment, the first target wall corner is located on the right side of the air conditioner, and the third target wall corner is located on the left side of the air conditioner, and the second determination module includes a seventh determination unit, an eighth determination unit and a ninth determination unit. The seventh determination unit is used to realize the above step S134. The eighth determination unit is used to realize the above step S135. The ninth determination unit is used to realize the above step S136.
[0100] In one embodiment, the first target wall corner is located on the left side of the air conditioner, and the third target wall corner is located on the right side of the air conditioner, and the second determination module includes a tenth determination unit, an eleventh determination unit, and a twelfth determination unit. The tenth determination unit is used to realize the above step S137. The eleventh determination unit is used to realize the above step S138. The twelfth determination unit is used to realize the above step S139.
[0101] In one embodiment, the second determining unit includes a first determining subunit, a second determining subunit and a third determining subunit. The first determining subunit is used to realize the above step S1151. The second determining subunit is used to realize the above step S1152. The third determining subunit is used to realize the above step S1153.
[0102] In this way, it is possible to automatically determine whether the mounting position of the air conditioner is in the left position, the middle position, or the right position based on the position characteristic angle.
[0103] In one embodiment, the second determining unit further includes a fourth determining subunit, a fifth determining subunit and a sixth determining subunit. The fourth determining subunit is used to realize the above step S1154. The fifth determining subunit is used to realize the above step S1155. The sixth determining subunit is used to realize the above step S1156.
[0104] In this way, it is possible to automatically determine whether the mounting position of the air conditioner is the left position, the middle position, or the right position based on the position characteristic angle.
[0105] In one embodiment, the second determination module 204 includes a third determination unit, a fourth determination unit, and a fifth determination unit. The third determination unit is used to realize the above step S131. The fourth determination unit is used to realize the above step S132. The fifth determination unit is used to realize the above step S133.
[0106] In this way, it is useful to select an appropriate compensation parameter according to the mounting position of the air conditioner and perform correction control for different mounting positions. Generally, when the air conditioner is mounted in an intermediate position, the air flow parameter of the air conditioner is preset, so that when the mounting position of the air conditioner is automatically determined to be the intermediate position, the preset air flow parameter does not need to be corrected, i.e., the compensation parameter is 0°, and thus it can be understood that the preset air flow parameter is adopted to control the operation of the air conditioner.
[0107] In one embodiment, the control module 206 includes a sixth determining unit and a control unit. The sixth determining unit is used to implement the above step S151. The control unit is used to implement the above step S153.
[0108] In this way, it is possible to provide the user with smart and accurate air blowing services.
[0109] In one embodiment, the control unit is further used to implement the above step S1531.
[0110] In one embodiment, the target angles of the left and right airflow directions of the air conditioner are determined based on the operating mode of the air conditioner and the location of the user.
[0111] In this way, the target angles of the left and right airflows corresponding to different operating modes and different positions of the user can be pre-calibrated.
[0112] In one embodiment, the air blowing control device further includes a third determination module, a fourth determination module, and a fifth determination module. The third determination module is used to implement the above step S21. The fourth determination module is used to implement the above step S23. The fifth determination module is used to implement the above step S25.
[0113] It should be noted that the above-mentioned interpretations and explanations of the embodiments and beneficial effects of the air conditioning device airflow control method also apply to the computer-readable storage medium, air conditioning device 100 and air conditioning device airflow control device 200 of the present application, and will not be described in detail here to avoid redundancy.
[0114] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application may be provided as a method, a system, or a computer program product.
