Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer and more apparent, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following drawings and embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are only for interpreting the present invention and not for limiting the present invention.

[0024] In the description of the present invention, regarding the description of directions, for example, the directions or positional relationships indicated by up, down, etc. are the directions or positional relationships shown based on the drawings, and are only for facilitating the description of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the mentioned devices or elements must have a specific direction and be configured and operated in a specific direction, so it should not be understood as a limitation to the present invention.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, when the first and second are described, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the sequence relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly stated, terms such as installation and connection should be understood in a broad sense, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention with reference to the specific content of the technical solution.

[0027] In the related art, the upper and lower air deflector plates and the flaps of the air conditioner are integrally connected. When adjusting the direction of the air flow, they cannot swing to one side or the other simultaneously to achieve the effect of blowing air to different regions separately or blowing air to both sides simultaneously. Moreover, the air blowing range is relatively fixed, and the comfort experience of the user is not good.

[0028] In response to the above situation, the present invention provides a control method for an air deflector assembly, an air conditioner, and a computer-readable storage medium. Specifically, the air deflector assembly includes a left flap group and a right flap group. The control method for the air deflector assembly includes determining the swinging direction and swinging angle of the left flap group and the right flap group respectively based on the received regional air blowing command, obtaining a target swinging angle by adjusting the swinging angle based on the preset air conditioner position information, and controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively based on the swinging direction and the target swinging angle. According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the single-piece flap is divided into a left flap group and a right flap group that are independent of each other and both play an air guiding role. When the air conditioner is operating, the left flap group and the right flap group can swing respectively according to their respective swinging directions and the target swinging angles obtained after adjustment. Under the guidance of the left flap group and the right flap group, the air can be sent to different regions in the space, realizing air blowing to different regions. That is, according to the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, air blowing to different regions can be realized, and the air blowing range can be automatically adjusted according to the installation position of the air conditioner, meeting the ventilation needs of the user and improving the comfort experience of the user.

[0029] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described with reference to the drawings.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of an air guiding assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air guiding assembly of the embodiment of the present invention includes a left flap group 110 and a right flap group 120, and both the left flap group 110 and the right flap group 120 include flaps that can be slightly swung. The left flap group 110 and the right flap group 120 are installed inside the air conditioner, installed independently of each other, and each is controlled. The left flap group 110 and the right flap group 120 are installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner and can swing in the counterclockwise direction or the clockwise direction to achieve the function of guiding air.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of an air guiding assembly according to another embodiment of the present invention. On the basis of having a left flap group and a right flap group, the air guiding assembly of this embodiment further includes three air guiding plates, namely a first air guiding plate 210, a second air guiding plate 220, and a third air guiding plate 230. The three air guiding plates are all installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner, installed independently of each other, and each is controlled independently. When the air outlet of the air conditioner is divided into the upper left area, the upper right area, the lower left area, and the lower right area, the first air guiding plate 210 covers the upper left area of the air outlet, the second air guiding plate 220 covers the upper right area of the air outlet, and the third air guiding plate 230 is installed below the first air guiding plate 210 and the second air guiding plate 220, and the third air guiding plate 230 covers the lower left area and the lower right area of the air outlet. The first air guiding plate 210, the second air guiding plate 220, and the third air guiding plate 230 can swing up or down to achieve the function of guiding air.

[0032] Also, at the air outlet of the air conditioner, in the depth direction, the three air guiding plates are installed on the front side of the two flap groups, and the three air guiding plates cooperate with the two flap groups to guide air relatively flexibly.

[0033] While having a left flap group and a right flap group, the air guiding assembly may include two air guiding plates, that is, only the fourth air guiding plate and the fifth air guiding plate. The fourth air guiding plate is installed to cover the upper left region and the upper right region of the air outlet, and the fifth air guiding plate is installed to cover the lower left region and the lower right region of the air outlet. Similarly, the fourth air guiding plate and the fifth air guiding plate can be controlled independently, cooperate with the two flap groups respectively, and realize a relatively flexible air guiding method. It should be noted that while having a left flap group and a right flap group, the air guiding assembly may include only one air guiding plate, that is, only the sixth air guiding plate. The sixth air guiding plate is installed to cover the entire air outlet region. The sixth air guiding plate, the left flap group and the right flap group are each controlled independently, cooperate with each other to blow air, and realize a relatively flexible air guiding method. Therefore, while the air guiding assembly includes a left flap group and a right flap group, the air guiding assembly further includes at least one air guiding plate. At least one air guiding assembly cooperates with the two flap groups to realize the diversification of the air guiding mode. Therefore, this application does not specifically limit the number of air guiding plates of the air guiding assembly. Those skilled in the art may set the number of air guiding plates according to the size of the air conditioner air outlet and the demand for diversification of the air blowing mode.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a control method for an air guiding assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention. This control method is used to control the air guiding assembly shown in FIG. 1. The air guiding assembly includes a left flap group and a right flap group. This control method for the air guiding assembly includes, but is not limited to, step S310, step S320, and step S330.

[0035] Step S310: Determine the swinging directions and swinging angles of the left flap group and the right flap group respectively based on the received area air blowing command. Step S320: Adjust the swinging angle based on the preset air conditioner position information to obtain the target swinging angle. Step S330: Control the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively based on the swinging direction and the target swinging angle.

[0036] Specifically, after the air conditioner starts up normally, based on the received area air supply command, the first swing direction and the first swing angle of the left flap group, and the second swing direction and the second swing angle of the right flap group can be determined respectively. Then, based on the preset air conditioner position information, the first swing angle and the second swing angle are adjusted respectively to obtain the first target swing angle and the second target swing angle. Finally, based on the first swing direction and the first target swing angle, the left flap group is controlled to swing, and based on the second swing direction and the second target swing angle, the right flap group is controlled to swing.

[0037] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, the single-piece flaps are divided into a left flap group and a right flap group that are independent of each other and both perform the air guiding function. When the air conditioner is operating, the left flap group and the right flap group can swing respectively according to their respective swing directions and the target swing angles obtained after adjustment. Under the guidance of the left flap group and the right flap group, the air can be sent to different areas in the space, realizing air supply for different areas. That is, according to the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to realize air supply for different areas, and automatically adjust the air supply range according to the air conditioner installation position, meet the ventilation needs of users, and improve the comfort experience of users.

[0038] Before step S310 of determining the swing directions and swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group respectively based on the received area air supply command, it further includes receiving the area air supply command transmitted by the user through the remote control or the APP.

[0039] The area air supply command includes a first area air supply command, a second area air supply command, and a third area air supply command. Specifically, the first area air supply command is a wide-angle area air supply command, the second area air supply command is a left area air supply command, and the third area air supply command is a right area air supply command.

[0040] Before step S330 of controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing based on the swing direction and the target swing angle, it further includes receiving preset air conditioner position information transmitted by the user via a remote control or an APP. The preset air conditioner position information may generally be set by the installer when installing the air conditioner, or may be set by the user himself after the installation of the air conditioner is completed.

[0041] The preset air conditioner position information includes left-side position information, right-side position information, and middle position information. After installing the air conditioner, when the user faces the air conditioner, it can be observed that there is the shortest first straight-line distance between the center point of the left side surface of the air conditioner case and the left wall surface, and the shortest second straight-line distance between the center point of the right side surface of the case and the right wall surface. Specifically, when the first straight-line distance is smaller than the second straight-line distance, the installation position of the air conditioner is biased towards the left side region of the space. At this time, the preset air conditioner position information is set as the left-side position information. Similarly, when the first straight-line distance is larger than the second straight-line distance, the installation position of the air conditioner is biased towards the right side region of the space. At this time, the preset air conditioner position information is set as the right-side position information. Since there is a certain deviation between the first straight-line distance and the second straight-line distance judged based on human experience, when the first straight-line distance and the second straight-line distance are approximately equal, the preset air conditioner position information is set as the middle position information.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a specific flowchart of step S320 in FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Step S320 of adjusting the swing angle based on the preset air conditioner position information to obtain the target swing angle includes, but is not limited to, step S410.

[0043] Step S410: Based on the received first area air supply command, determine the first swinging direction of the left flap group as the clockwise direction and the first swinging angle as a preset angle value, and at the same time, determine the second swinging direction of the right flap group as the counterclockwise direction and the second swinging angle as a preset angle value.

[0044] Specifically, after the air conditioner starts up normally and the air deflector is opened, when the user sends a first area air supply command, that is, a wide-angle area air supply command, to the air conditioner, the air conditioner, based on the received first area air supply command, determines the first swinging direction of the left flap group as the clockwise direction and the first swinging angle as a preset angle value, and at the same time, determines the second swinging direction of the right flap group as the counterclockwise direction and the second swinging angle as a preset angle value. Here, the preset angle value is the preset maximum swinging angle. When the left flap group swings by the maximum swinging angle in the clockwise direction and the right flap group swings by the maximum swinging angle in the counterclockwise direction, at this time, the air supply directions of the left flap group and the right flap group are opposite, the air supply range is relatively large, and more users in the space can receive the wind, ensuring the comfort experience of the users to a certain extent.

[0045] The user can set the maximum swinging angle according to the actual needs. The maximum swinging angle is an acute angle smaller than 90 degrees, and the present application does not limit the specific numerical value of the maximum swinging angle.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, when determining the first swinging direction and the first swinging angle of the left flap group and the second swinging direction and the second swinging angle of the right flap group based on the first area air supply command, it is also necessary to adjust the swinging angle based on the preset air conditioner position information to obtain the target swinging angle.

[0047] As shown in Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the swinging situation of the flap group when receiving the first area air supply command according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, when the preset air conditioner position information is the left side position information, the first target swing angle is obtained by subtracting the preset compensation angle θ from the first swing angle, the second swing angle is not adjusted, and the second swing angle is determined as the second target swing angle. Based on the respective swinging directions and target swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group, after controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively, the air supply range of the left flap group moves a certain distance to the right, thereby reducing the probability that the blown air blows against the left side wall and affects the air supply effect, reducing the waste of air conditioner resources, and maintaining a relatively ideal air supply range.

[0048] Or, as shown in Fig. 5, when the preset air conditioner position information is the right side position information, the second target swing angle is obtained by subtracting the preset compensation angle θ from the second swing angle, the first swing angle is not adjusted, and the first swing angle is directly determined as the first target swing angle. Taking the vertical symmetry axis between the left flap group and the right flap group as the zero-degree reference line, based on the respective swinging directions and target swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group, after controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively, the air supply range of the right flap group moves a certain distance to the left, thereby reducing the probability that the blown air blows against the right side wall and affects the air supply effect, reducing the waste of air conditioner resources, and maintaining a relatively ideal wide-angle air supply range.

[0049] Or, as shown in Fig. 5, when the preset air conditioner position information is the middle position information, the swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group are not adjusted, the first swing angle of the left flap group is directly determined as the first target swing angle, and the second swing angle of the right flap group is determined as the second target swing angle.

[0050] By the compensation effect of the preset compensation angle θ, the air supply ranges of the left flap group and the right flap group are adjusted. And the value of the preset compensation angle θ is less than or equal to half of the absolute value of the difference between the maximum swing angle and the vertical angle.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a specific flowchart of step S320 in FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Step S320 of adjusting the swing angle based on the preset air conditioner position information to obtain the target swing angle includes, but is not limited to, step S610.

[0052] Step S610: Based on the received second area air supply command, with the second swing direction of the right flap group being clockwise, the second swing angle being a preset angle value, and the first swing angle of the left flap group being determined as zero.

[0053] Specifically, after the air conditioner is normally started and the air deflector is opened, when the user sends a second area air supply command, that is, a left area air supply command, to the air conditioner, the air conditioner, based on the received second area air supply command, determines the second swing direction of the right flap group as clockwise, the second swing angle as a preset angle value, and the first swing angle of the left flap group as zero. That is, in the second area air supply command, the left flap group does not swing and deflects air straight ahead, and the right flap group deflects air to the left area after swinging clockwise. The left flap group and the right flap group cooperate with each other to deflect air to the left area in space and realize air supply by area, satisfying the ventilation demand when the user is in the left area and ensuring the user's comfort experience.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, when determining the swing directions and swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group based on the second area air supply command, it is further necessary to adjust the swing angle based on the preset air conditioner position information to obtain the target swing angle.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the swinging situation of the flap group when receiving a second area air supply command according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, when the preset air conditioner position information is the left side position information, the second target swinging angle is obtained by subtracting the preset compensation angle θ from the second swinging angle, the first swinging angle is not adjusted, and the first swinging angle is determined as the first target swinging angle. At this time, the first target swinging angle is zero. Based on the respective swinging directions and target swinging angles of the left flap group and the right flap group, after controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively, the left flap group guides the air flow immediately before it, and the air supply range of the right flap group moves a certain distance to the right, thereby reducing the probability that the blown air is repelled by the left side wall and affects the air supply effect, reducing the waste of air conditioner resources, and maintaining a relatively ideal air supply range.

[0056] Or, as shown in FIG. 7, when the preset air conditioner position information is the right side position information or the middle position information, the second swinging angle is not adjusted, the second swinging angle is determined as the second target swinging angle, the first swinging angle is not adjusted, and the first swinging angle is directly determined as the first target swinging angle. Based on the respective swinging directions and target swinging angles of the left flap group and the right flap group, after controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively, the left flap group guides the air flow immediately before it, and the right flap group guides the air flow to the left area, realizing the left area air supply. When the user is in this area, it meets the ventilation requirement of the user and ensures the comfort experience of the user.

[0057] Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a specific flowchart of step S320 in FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The step S320 of obtaining the target swinging angle by adjusting the swinging angle based on the preset air conditioner position information includes, but is not limited to, step S810.

[0058] Step S810: Based on the received third area air supply command, determine the first swing direction of the left flap group as the counterclockwise direction, the first swing angle as a preset angle value, and the second swing angle of the right flap group as zero.

[0059] Specifically, after the air conditioner starts up normally and the air deflector opens, when the user sends a third area air supply command, that is, a right area air supply command, to the air conditioner, the air conditioner, based on the received third area air supply command, determines the first swing direction of the left flap group as the counterclockwise direction, the first swing angle as a preset angle value, and the second swing angle of the right flap group as zero. That is, in the third area air supply command, the right flap group does not swing and deflects air straight ahead, and the left flap group deflects air to the right area after swinging. The left flap group and the right flap group cooperate with each other to deflect air to the right area in space and realize area-specific air supply, satisfying the ventilation demand when the user is in the left area and ensuring the user's comfort experience.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, when determining the swing direction and swing angle of the left flap group and the right flap group based on the third area air supply command, it is further necessary to adjust the swing angle based on the preset air conditioner position information to obtain the target swing angle.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the swinging situation of the flap group when receiving the third area air supply command according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, when the preset air conditioner position information is the right side position information, the first target swing angle is obtained by subtracting the preset compensation angle θ from the first swing angle. Note that the second swing angle of the right flap group is not adjusted, and the second swing angle is determined as the second target swing angle. At this time, the second target swing angle is zero. Based on the respective swing directions and target swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group, after controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively, the right flap group guides the air flow immediately before it, and the air supply range of the left flap group moves a certain distance to the left, thereby reducing the probability that the blown air is repelled by the right side wall and affects the air supply effect, reducing the waste of air conditioner resources, and maintaining a relatively ideal air supply range.

[0062] Or, as shown in FIG. 9, when the preset air conditioner position information is the left side position information or the middle position information, the first swing angle is not adjusted, and the first swing angle is determined as the first target swing angle. The second swing angle is not adjusted, and the second swing angle is directly determined as the second target swing angle. At this time, the second target swing angle is zero. Based on the respective swing directions and target swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group, after controlling the left flap group and the right flap group to swing respectively, the right flap group guides the air flow immediately before it, and the left flap group guides the air flow to the right area to realize the right area air supply. When the user is in this area, it meets the ventilation demand of the user and ensures the comfort experience of the user.

[0063] When the preset air conditioner position information is the middle position information, the swing angles of the left flap group and the right flap group are not adjusted.

[0064] The air guiding assembly further includes an air guiding plate shown in FIG. 2, and the air guiding plate can perform the function of guiding air. In an air conditioner, the air guiding plate is installed corresponding to the left flap group and the right flap group, and the left flap group and the right flap group cooperate to realize air blowing by region. As shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a method for controlling an air guiding plate according to an embodiment of the present invention.
