[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 intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limitations on the present application.
[0028] In order to clearly explain the air conditioning equipment and the airflow control method, device, and medium used therewith according to the embodiment of the present application, the following description will be made with reference to the flowchart of the airflow control method using an air conditioning equipment shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, the airflow control method using an air conditioning equipment according to the embodiment of the present application includes S11, which determines spatial position information including the installation position of the air conditioning equipment in the room and the corresponding position characteristic angle, S13, which determines compensation parameters based on the position characteristic angle and the installation position, and S15, which corrects and controls the airflow parameters of the air conditioning equipment based on the compensation parameters.
[0029] According to the method for controlling air flow by an air conditioner of the present application, spatial position information of the air conditioner in a room is automatically detected, and the air flow parameters of the air conditioner are automatically adjusted based on the detected spatial position information, and the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled based on the adjusted air flow parameters, thereby reducing user operation costs, providing users with smart and accurate air flow services, and improving the user experience.
[0030] In the related art, ordinary air conditioners cannot self-detect their installation position in a room, and their corresponding remote controls do not have any relevant function settings. If the air conditioner is installed close to the left or right wall, the air conditioner will sweep left and right according to a preset air flow control policy and may blow air towards the left or right wall, which is likely to waste cool air and reduce the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner. The solution is to require the user to manually adjust and fix the air flow angle of the left and right air guide plates. This not only increases the user's operating costs, but also makes it clear that if the air conditioner continues to blow air towards a certain fixed angle, it will not be able to meet the user's need for uniform air flow and is likely to harm the user's physical health. For high-end air conditioners, they cannot self-detect their own installation position in the room, and the installer needs to set the installation position of the air conditioner on the corresponding remote control. However, the related settings are relatively rough, and only a rough installation position of the air conditioner can be set, so the precision of the air flow control is still poor. Furthermore, if the installation position of the air conditioner changes, the installation position needs to be reset, otherwise there will be the same defects that ordinary air conditioners have.
[0031] That is, in the related art, the air conditioner cannot self-detect its own installation position in the room and automatically adjust the air flow parameters of the air conditioner according to its own installation position in the room. Therefore, the air conditioner in the related art has problems such as low intelligence, low air flow control precision, and complicated operation, which affects the user experience.
[0032] In the method for controlling air flow by an air conditioner of the present application, the air conditioner automatically determines its own installation position in a room, the user's position in the room, and the position characteristic angle corresponding to the installation position, determines compensation parameters according to the automatically determined installation position and the automatically determined position characteristic angle, and corrects the air flow parameters of the air conditioner based on the compensation parameters. Thus, when controlling air flow, 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 having to perform complex operations, which is helpful for improving the user experience.
[0033] Specifically, the air conditioner may include, 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 within a room may be automatically determined by analyzing acquired radar data or other position detection sensor data. In some embodiments, the spatial location information of the air conditioner within a room may also be automatically generated by other home appliances, and the air conditioner may communicate with other home appliances to obtain its spatial location information. Other home appliances may include, but are not limited to, televisions, water dispensers, vacuum cleaners, other air conditioners, etc. In other embodiments, the spatial location information may be actively input by a user to meet different user control needs, and is not limited thereto.
[0034] The correspondence 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 correspondence relationships.The correspondence 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 conditioning equipment's airflow parameters include, but are not limited to, the left and right airflow angles, the up and down airflow angles, the airflow time, etc. The air conditioning equipment's airflow parameters may be preset parameters without considering different spatial position information, and may be stored in the air conditioning equipment or in the cloud. When the airflow parameters are stored in the cloud, the air conditioning equipment can communicate with the cloud to obtain the airflow parameters.
[0036] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device's air distribution parameters can be related to the air conditioning device's operating mode and the user's location. The operating mode can include a function mode and a air distribution mode, the function mode can include an avoidance mode and a normal mode, and the air distribution mode can include a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, a heating mode, etc. The air distribution parameters corresponding to each operating mode and user's location can 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 conditioning device 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 conditioning device, and the first target wall corner and the position of the air conditioning device are located on the same wall surface; S113 determining a line connecting the first target wall corner and the position of the air conditioning device as a first angle line, a line connecting the second target wall corner and the position of the air conditioning device 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 installation position when the air conditioner is installed in a room can be automatically determined. Since the installation position of the air conditioner has a large effect on the left and right sweeping, which is a horizontal sweeping, and a small effect on the up and down sweeping, which is a vertical sweeping, the position characteristic angle of the air conditioner is determined based on two wall corners in the same horizontal plane as the air conditioner's position, rather than two wall corners in the same vertical plane as the air conditioner's position, it can be seen that the compensation parameters determined based on the position characteristic angle in this way can better correct the air conditioner's air distribution parameters.
[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, each 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 air conditioner's location may intersect with the first wall at a first line segment, with the second wall at a second line segment, with the first side wall at a third line segment, and with the second side wall at 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 enclose a rectangular enclosed space, and the four vertices Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 of the rectangular enclosed space may be understood as four wall corners. The first target wall corner can be understood as the vertex at one end of the third line segment Q1Q3, and the second target wall corner can be understood as the vertex at the other end of the third line segment Q1Q3, or the first target wall corner can be understood as the vertex at one end of the fourth line segment Q2Q4, and the second target wall corner can be understood as the vertex at 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. According to the echo data received by the radar, the indoor space and the position where the air conditioning equipment is located may be determined to have coordinates of four wall corners on the same horizontal plane. Furthermore, an angle value of the angle between the second angle line and the first angle line may be calculated, and the angle value may be used as a position characteristic angle, and the installation position may be determined based on the angle value.
[0041] In one example, if 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, 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 note that the position characteristic angle is an acute angle formed by the first angle line and the second angle line, not an obtuse angle formed by 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: if the position characteristic angle is greater than 0° and less than or equal to the first angle, determine 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; S1158: 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 if the position characteristic angle is greater than the first angle and less than or equal to the second angle; 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 way, it is possible to automatically determine whether the air conditioner is close to the first target wall corner, close 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 less 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. 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, setting the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle as the compensation parameter; 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, setting 0° as the compensation parameter; and 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, setting the negative value of the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle as the compensation parameter.
[0047] In this way, it is possible to select an appropriate compensation parameter according to the installation position of the air conditioner, and to perform compensation control for different installation positions. Generally, when the air conditioner is installed in an intermediate position, that is, when 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 when the distance between the air conditioner and the first target wall corner is automatically determined to be 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 used 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, then 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 air conditioner 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 air conditioner 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 conditioning equipment 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 conditioning equipment is in the middle position; and 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 conditioning equipment is in the right position.
[0052] It should be noted that the right side of the air conditioner should be understood as the right side of the air conditioner itself, i.e., the right side along the airflow direction of the air conditioner, and should not be directly understood as the right side of the user's line of sight; the right side of the user's line of sight could 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 and second target wall corners of the two target wall corners on its right side, and further determine the installation 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 conditioning equipment 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 conditioning equipment is in the middle position; and 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 conditioning equipment is in the left position.
[0057] It should be noted that the left side of the air conditioner should be understood as the left side of the air conditioner itself, i.e., the left side along the airflow direction of the air conditioner, and should not be directly understood as the left side of the user's line of sight; the left side of the user's line of sight could 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 and second target wall corners of the two target wall corners on its left side, and further determine the installation 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, in which an angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is used as the compensation parameter when the air conditioner is installed in the left position; S132, in which 0° is used as the compensation parameter when the air conditioner is installed in the middle position; and S133, in which a negative value of the angle parameter corresponding to the position characteristic angle is used as the compensation parameter when the air conditioner is installed in the right position.
[0059] In this way, it is possible to select an appropriate compensation parameter according to the installation position of the air conditioner, and to perform compensation control for different installation positions. Generally, when an air conditioner is installed in an intermediate position, the air flow parameters of the air conditioner are preset, so when the installation position of the air conditioner is automatically determined to be the intermediate position, there is no need to compensate for the preset air flow parameters, i.e., the compensation parameter is 0°, and it can be understood that the preset air flow parameters are used 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 S151 of determining target angles for the 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 operating mode of the air conditioner and the user's location. The operating modes can include a function mode and a fan mode, and the function mode can include an avoidance mode and a normal mode. The fan mode can include a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, a heating mode, etc. The user's location can be determined by a radar installed in the air conditioner. The target angles of the left and right airflows corresponding to each operating mode and user's location can be partially the same or completely different. A mapping relationship between each operating mode, user's location, and the target angles of the left and right airflows is created in advance, and the target angles of the left and right airflows of the air conditioner can be quickly determined based on the mapping relationship, the operating mode of the air conditioner, and the user's location.
[0064] Furthermore, in one embodiment, step S153 includes S1531 of calculating the sum of the compensation parameter and the target angle, setting the sum as the 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: S21 determining that when the user is in a first position, the target angles of the left and right airflow of the air conditioner correspond to a third position; S23 determining that when the user is in a second position, the target angles of the left and right airflow 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 determining that when the user is in the third position, the target angles of the left and right airflow of the air conditioner correspond to the first position.
[0066] In this way, a ventilation parameter control policy for the crowd avoidance mode is created in advance to achieve the effect of crowd avoidance.
[0067] Specifically, the user's position can simultaneously include both a horizontal position and a near position, 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 conditioning equipment 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 the left and right air guide of the air conditioner. For example, if the effective range of the 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 into 40°. The positions A, B, and C can be set based on the effective range of the top and bottom air guide of the air conditioner. For example, if the effective range of the top and bottom air guide of the air conditioner is 60°, the positions A, B, and C can be determined by dividing one area into 20°.
[0069] In the preset airflow parameters of the air conditioner, when the function mode is a person avoidance mode and the airflow mode is a cooling mode, if it is detected that the user's horizontal position is at a first position (1), the target angle of the left and right airflow is determined to correspond to a third position (3), and at the same time, the target angle of the up and down airflow is determined based on the user's perspective position, that is, if the user's perspective position is at position A, the target angle of the up and down airflow is determined to correspond to position C, and if the user's perspective position is at position C, the target angle of the up and down airflow is determined to correspond to The target angle of the airflow is determined to correspond 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, the target angle of the upper and lower airflows is determined to be the upper limit of cooling, thereby avoiding as much as possible the direct airflow to the position where the user is located; when the user's horizontal position is detected to be at a 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 upper and lower airflows is set to the upper limit of cooling, thereby avoiding as much as possible the direct airflow to the position where the user is located; When the user's position is detected to be at the third position (3), the target angles of the left and right airflows are determined to correspond to the first position (1), and at the same time, the target angles of the up and down airflows are determined based on the user's near and far position; when the user's position is detected to be at the first position (1) and the second position (2), the target angles of the left and right airflows are determined to correspond to the third position (3), and at the same time, the target angles of the up and down airflows are set as the upper limit of cooling; when the user's position is detected to be at the second position (2) and the third position (3), the target angles of the left and right airflows are determined to correspond to the first position (1), and at the same time, the target angles of the up and down airflows are set as the upper limit of cooling; When it is determined that the target 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, and when it is determined that the user's position is at 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, and when it is determined that the user's position is at 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 flow parameters of the air conditioner, when the function mode is a people avoidance mode and the air flow mode is a dehumidification mode, if it is detected that the user's horizontal position is at 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 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; if it is detected that the user's horizontal position is at a 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 to the cooling upper limit, so that direct airflow to the position where the user is located is avoided as much as possible; if it is detected that the user's position is at a 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, 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; 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; 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 people avoidance mode and the airflow mode is a heating mode, if the user's horizontal position 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), if the user's horizontal position 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, if 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), if the user's position is detected to be in the first position (1) and the second position (2). When the user's position is determined to be at position (2), the target angles of the left and right airflows are determined to correspond to position (3); when the user's position is determined to be at position (2) or position (3), the target angles of the left and right airflows are determined to correspond to position (1); when the user's position is determined to be at position (1) or position (3), the target angles of the left and right airflows are determined to be centered; when the user's position is determined to be at position (1), position (2), or position (3), the target angles of the left and right airflows are determined to be centered. In heating mode, the target angles of the upper and lower airflow plates are uniformly set to the lower heating limit, and the windless airflow plate is opened, thereby further achieving the effect of avoiding people.
[0072] It should be noted that the air conditioner may include a left air guide plate and a right air guide plate, which may operate independently. The "wide angle" may be understood as setting the target angle of the left and right air guide plates of the left air guide plate to correspond to the third position (3) and the target angle of the right and left air guide plates to correspond to the first position (1), thereby allowing the left and right air guide plates to form an "eight" shape to guide air. The "centered" may be understood as setting the left and right air guide plates to move parallel to each other, thereby allowing the air conditioner to blow air to the area in front of itself. The "cooling upper limit" may be understood as the maximum position at which the upper and lower air guide plates of the air conditioner rotate upward in cooling mode. The "dehumidification upper limit" may be understood as the maximum position at which the upper and lower air guide plates of the air conditioner rotate upward in dehumidification mode. In some embodiments, the upper limit of cooling and the upper limit of dehumidification correspond to the same vertical sweep air angle, and in some embodiments, to prevent water vapor from condensing into droplets on the air guide plate and flowing back into the air conditioner in cooling mode, the vertical sweep air angle corresponding to the upper limit of cooling is smaller than the vertical sweep air angle corresponding to the upper limit of dehumidification, for example, the upper limit of cooling can be set to 20° above the horizontal plane, and the upper limit of dehumidification can be set to 25° above the horizontal plane. The above-mentioned "lower limit of heating" can be understood to be the extreme position to which the upper and lower air guide plates of the air conditioner rotate downward in 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 air flow parameters can be corrected and controlled. The corrected air flow 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 after the air conditioner (air conditioner) is shifted and the air flow control of the method of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, in the person 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 of 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 and the air flow control of the present method after the 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 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 will still maintain their original angles, which may continue to blow air onto a wide area of 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 onto the wall, while ensuring the people avoidance function.
[0078] It should be noted that the principle of the correction control of the air flow parameters in this method can be understood as follows: when the air conditioner is installed in the left position, all of the left and right air guide angles in the air flow parameters are offset to the right by the position characteristic angle, and when the air conditioner is installed in the right position, all of the left and right air guide angles in the air flow parameters are offset to the left by the position characteristic angle. Therefore, if the angle values defined when the left and right air guide plates of the air conditioner face left are smaller than the angle values defined when the left and right air guide plates face right, for example, if the horizontal forward angles of the left and right air guide plates are preset to 0 degrees, the left rotation angles of the left and right air guide plates are preset to negative values, and the right rotation angles of the left and right air guide plates are preset to positive values, or if the limit angle of the left rotation of the left and right air guide plates is preset to 0 degrees and the rotation angles of the left and right air guide plates are 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 leftward is greater than the angle value defined when the left and right air guide plates face rightward, 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 extreme 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, if 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, if it is determined that the air conditioner is installed in the middle position, 0° can be determined as the compensation parameter, and if 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, if 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 pointed out that the specific numerical values mentioned above are merely examples for explaining the implementation of the present application in detail, 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-described embodiments, the embodiments of the present application further provide a computer-readable storage medium that can realize the airflow control method by an air conditioner of any of the above-described embodiments. An airflow control program by an air conditioner is stored in the computer-readable storage medium of the present application, and the airflow control program is executed by a processor to realize the airflow control method by an air conditioner of any of the above-described embodiments.
[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 distribution 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 distribution parameters, thereby reducing user operation costs, providing users with smart and accurate air distribution services, and improving the user experience.
[0083] In one example, when the air blow control program is executed by a processor, steps S11, S13, and S15 in the above embodiment can be realized.
[0084] To realize the above embodiments, an embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioning apparatus, which can realize the air supply control method by the air conditioning apparatus of any of the above embodiments. Fig. 12 is a configuration block diagram of an air conditioning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 12, an air conditioning apparatus 100 according to the present application includes a memory 102, a processor 104, and an air supply control program 106 by the air conditioning apparatus 100 stored in the memory 102 and operable by the processor 104. When the processor 104 executes the air supply control program 106 by the air conditioning apparatus 100, the air supply control method by the air conditioning apparatus 100 of any of the above embodiments is realized.
[0085] According to the air conditioning equipment 100 of the present application, the spatial position information of the air conditioning equipment 100 in the 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 smart and accurate air flow services, and improving the user experience.
[0086] In the related art, ordinary air conditioners cannot self-detect their installation position in a room, and their corresponding remote controls do not have any relevant function settings. If the air conditioner is installed close to the left or right wall, the air conditioner will sweep left and right according to a preset air flow control policy and may blow air towards the left or right wall, which is likely to waste cool air and reduce the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner. The solution is to require the user to manually adjust and fix the air flow angle of the left and right air guide plates. This not only increases the user's operating costs, but also makes it clear that if the air conditioner continues to blow air towards a certain fixed angle, it will not be able to meet the user's need for uniform air flow and is likely to harm the user's physical health. For high-end air conditioners, they cannot self-detect their own installation position in the room, and the installer needs to set the installation position of the air conditioner on the corresponding remote control. However, the related settings are relatively rough, and only a rough installation position of the air conditioner can be set, so the precision of the air flow control is still poor. Furthermore, if the installation position of the air conditioner changes, the installation position needs to be reset, otherwise there will be the same defects that ordinary air conditioners have.
[0087] That is, in the related art, the air conditioner cannot self-detect its own installation position in the room and automatically adjust the air flow parameters of the air conditioner according to its own installation position in the room. Therefore, the air conditioner in the related art has problems such as low intelligence, low air flow control precision, 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 a 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. Thus, 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 having to perform complex operations, which is helpful for improving the user experience.
[0089] Specifically, the air conditioner may include, 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 a room and the user's location in the room may be automatically determined by analyzing acquired radar data or other position detection sensor data. In some embodiments, the spatial location information of the air conditioner in a room may also be automatically generated by other home appliances, and the air conditioner may communicate with other home appliances to obtain its spatial location information. Other home appliances may include, but are not limited to, televisions, water dispensers, vacuum cleaners, other air conditioners, etc. In other embodiments, the spatial location information may be actively input by a user to meet different user control needs, and is not limited thereto.
[0090] The correspondence 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 correspondence relationships.The correspondence 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 conditioning equipment's airflow parameters include, but are not limited to, the left and right airflow angles, the up and down airflow angles, the airflow time, etc. The air conditioning equipment's airflow parameters may be preset parameters without considering different spatial position information, and may be stored in the air conditioning equipment or in the cloud. When the airflow parameters are stored in the cloud, the air conditioning equipment can communicate with the cloud to obtain the airflow parameters.
[0092] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device's air distribution parameters can be related to the air conditioning device's operating mode and the user's location. The operating mode can include a function mode and a air distribution mode, the function mode can include an avoidance mode and a normal mode, and the air distribution mode can include a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, a heating mode, etc. The air distribution parameters corresponding to each operating mode and user's location can be partially the same or completely different.
[0093] In one example, when the air blow control program 106 is executed by the processor 104, steps S11, S13, and S15 of the above embodiment can be realized.
[0094] To realize the above embodiments, the present invention further provides an airflow control device, which can realize the airflow control method for an air conditioner according to any of the above embodiments. FIG. 13 is a block diagram of an airflow control device according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 13, the airflow control device 200 for an air conditioner according to the present invention 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 a room, where the spatial position information includes the installation 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 installation 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 air flow control device 200 of the present application automatically detects the spatial position information of the air conditioning equipment in a room, and automatically adjusts the air flow parameters of the air conditioning equipment based on the detected spatial position information, and can control the operation of the air conditioning equipment based on the adjusted air flow parameters, thereby reducing user operation costs, providing users with smart and accurate air flow 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 implement the above step S111. The calculation unit is used to implement the above step S113. The second determination unit is used to implement the above step S115.
[0097] In this way, the position characteristic angle and installation position when the air conditioner is installed in a room can be automatically determined. Since the installation position of the air conditioner has a large effect on the left and right sweeping, which is a horizontal sweeping, and a small effect on the up and down sweeping, which is a vertical sweeping, the position characteristic angle of the air conditioner is determined based on two wall corners in the same horizontal plane as the air conditioner's position, rather than two wall corners in the same vertical plane as the air conditioner's position, it can be seen that the compensation parameters determined based on the position characteristic angle in this way can better correct the air conditioner's air distribution parameters.
[0098] 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, the first target wall corner and the third target wall corner are located on opposite sides of the air conditioner, respectively, 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 implement the above step S1157. The eighth determination subunit is used to implement the above step S1158. The ninth determination subunit is used to implement 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 implement the above step S134. The eighth determination unit is used to implement the above step S135. The ninth determination unit is used to implement 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 implement the above step S137. The eleventh determination unit is used to implement the above step S138. The twelfth determination unit is used to implement the above step S139.
[0101] In one embodiment, the second determination unit includes a first determination subunit, a second determination subunit, and a third determination subunit. The first determination subunit is used to implement the above step S1151. The second determination subunit is used to implement the above step S1152. The third determination subunit is used to implement 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 determination unit further includes a fourth determination subunit, a fifth determination subunit, and a sixth determination subunit. The fourth determination subunit is used to implement the above step S1154. The fifth determination subunit is used to implement the above step S1155. The sixth determination subunit is used to implement 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 implement the above step S131. The fourth determination unit is used to implement the above step S132. The fifth determination unit is used to implement the above step S133.
[0106] In this way, it is useful to select an appropriate compensation parameter according to the installation position of the air conditioner and perform compensation control for different installation positions. Generally, when the air conditioner is installed in an intermediate position, the air flow parameter of the air conditioner is preset, so when the installation position of the air conditioner is automatically determined to be the intermediate position, there is no need to compensate the preset air flow parameter, i.e., the compensation parameter is 0°, and therefore it can be understood that the preset air flow parameter is used to control the operation of the air conditioner.
[0107] In one embodiment, the control module 206 includes a sixth determination unit and a control unit, where the sixth determination unit is used to implement the above step S151, and 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 user's position.
[0111] In this way, the target angles of the left and right airflows corresponding to different operation modes and different positions of the user can be calibrated in advance.
[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 step S21. The fourth determination module is used to implement step S23. The fifth determination module is used to implement step S25.
[0113] It should be noted that the above-mentioned interpretations and explanations of the embodiments and beneficial effects of the air conditioning equipment air flow control method also apply to the computer-readable storage medium, air conditioning equipment 100 and air conditioning equipment air flow control device 200 of the present application, and will not be described in detail here to avoid redundancy.
