[0050] To make the above-mentioned purposes, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of some embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] Air conditioning equipment (air conditioners) have a simultaneous dehumidification effect during the cooling process; however, it is impossible to achieve fixed-point dehumidification (i.e., setting the target temperature and target humidity at the same time) while cooling, and the temperature and humidity adjustment completion is also not synchronized, which affects both energy saving and comfort.

[0052] Although domestic and international air conditioning manufacturers have introduced air conditioners with functions such as humidity control, segmented humidity control, and zone humidity control, achieving fixed-point humidity control remains difficult. Existing solutions still suffer from the following drawbacks: insufficient humidity control precision, making it difficult to effectively balance energy conservation and comfort; and asynchronous temperature and humidity control, resulting in a poor user experience. To overcome these drawbacks, this application proposes a control method for air conditioning equipment capable of achieving fixed-point cooling and dehumidification.

[0053] Based on this, the present application proposes a control method for an air conditioning device according to a first embodiment, referring to FIG1 . The control method for an air conditioning device includes:

[0054] Step S10, obtaining the current ambient temperature and humidity of the air conditioning equipment;

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioning device may be an air conditioner. In the process of obtaining the current ambient temperature and the current ambient humidity, a temperature sensor is specifically used to detect the current ambient temperature. The current ambient humidity can be obtained using either a humidity sensor or a preset humidity model. Based on the initial ambient humidity and the fan speed of the air conditioning device, the humidity change at each time point is predicted, thereby obtaining the current ambient humidity. It should be noted that different methods for obtaining the current ambient humidity result in different strategies for the corresponding air conditioning device.

[0056] Step S20, determining the temperature completion degree of the current ambient temperature reaching the target ambient temperature based on the acquired current ambient temperature;

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, it can be understood that when the target ambient temperature (referring to the final ambient temperature that needs to be adjusted) is obtained, the temperature difference that needs to be adjusted can be determined in combination with the initial ambient temperature when the air-conditioning equipment is turned on, and the adjusted temperature difference can be determined based on the difference between the current ambient temperature and the initial ambient temperature. Finally, the temperature completion degree can be determined based on the adjusted temperature difference and the temperature difference that needs to be adjusted.

[0058] Step S30, determining the humidity completion degree of the current ambient humidity reaching the target ambient humidity based on the acquired current ambient humidity;

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, it can be understood that when the target ambient humidity (referring to the final ambient humidity that needs to be adjusted) is obtained, combined with the initial ambient humidity when the air-conditioning equipment is turned on, the humidity difference that needs to be adjusted can be determined, and based on the difference between the current ambient humidity and the initial ambient humidity, the adjusted humidity difference can be determined. Finally, based on the adjusted humidity difference and the humidity difference that needs to be adjusted, the humidity completion degree can be determined.

[0060] Step S40, determining control parameters of the air conditioning equipment according to the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree;

[0061] Step S50: Control the air conditioning equipment to operate according to the determined control parameters so that the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree tend to be synchronized.

[0062] After determining the temperature completion and humidity completion, you can understand the temperature adjustment completion and humidity completion of the air conditioning equipment at the current time point. In order to keep the completion of the two consistent, when the humidity completion is less than the temperature completion, you need to increase the dehumidification power (increase the fan speed) to speed up the humidity completion progress; similarly, when the humidity completion is greater than the temperature completion, you need to reduce the dehumidification power (reduce the fan speed) to reduce the humidity completion.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, a method of making the humidity completion degree close to the temperature completion degree is chosen to achieve synchronization of the temperature and humidity completion degrees. This is because the adjustment method of the dehumidification power is relatively simple and the adjustment efficiency is high. It only requires adjusting the fan speed, and the energy consumption of the fan is relatively low, which can achieve a certain energy-saving effect.

[0064] This application combines the current ambient temperature and humidity with the target ambient temperature and humidity to determine the temperature completion and humidity completion, and then adjusts the control parameters of the air conditioning equipment according to the completion of the two, so that the temperature completion and humidity completion tend to be consistent, maintaining the synchronization of temperature adjustment and humidity adjustment, with a higher degree of intelligence, bringing users a more comfortable use experience, thereby solving the technical problem in the existing technology that the temperature and humidity adjustment completion are not synchronized, resulting in poor user experience.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the step of determining, based on the acquired current ambient temperature, the degree of temperature completion of the current ambient temperature reaching the target ambient temperature may include:

[0066] Step S21, obtaining the initial ambient temperature corresponding to the target ambient temperature;

[0067] Step S22, calculating the temperature completion degree according to the current ambient temperature, the target ambient temperature, and the initial ambient temperature;

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the initial ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature can be automatically obtained when the air conditioning equipment is turned on. In addition, the target ambient temperature can also be obtained according to the user's settings. When the user resets the target ambient temperature, the initial ambient temperature is simultaneously obtained again through the temperature sensor.

[0069] For example, the current ambient temperature is Te, the target ambient temperature is Ts, and the initial ambient temperature is T1. The temperature difference that needs to be adjusted is ∆T=|Te-Ts|, and the temperature completion degree is PT=|Te-T1| / ∆T. The value of PT is between [0,1].

[0070] And / or, the step of determining, based on the acquired current ambient humidity, the degree of completion of the current ambient humidity reaching the target ambient humidity may include:

[0071] Step S31, obtaining the initial ambient humidity corresponding to the target ambient humidity;

[0072] Step S32: Calculate the humidity completion degree according to the current ambient humidity, the target ambient humidity, and the initial ambient humidity.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the initial ambient humidity and the target ambient humidity can be automatically obtained when the air conditioning equipment is turned on. In addition, the target ambient humidity can also be obtained according to the user's settings. When the user resets the target ambient humidity, the initial ambient humidity is simultaneously obtained again through the humidity sensor.

[0074] For example, the current ambient humidity is He, the target ambient humidity is Hs, and the initial ambient humidity is H1. The humidity difference that needs to be adjusted is ∆H=|He-Hs|, and the humidity completion degree is PH=|He-H1| / ∆H. The value of PH is between [0,1].

[0075] In one possible implementation, when obtaining the initial ambient temperature and humidity and the target ambient temperature and humidity, the air conditioning device may further include:

[0076] Step A10: When the air conditioning device is turned on, the set temperature, set humidity, initial ambient temperature, and initial ambient humidity of the air conditioning device are obtained, and the set temperature is used as the target ambient temperature, and the set humidity is used as the target ambient humidity.

[0077] This application provides a method for determining a target ambient temperature and humidity based on the current set temperature and humidity of an air conditioning device, and obtaining an initial ambient temperature and humidity using a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor. This method is used when the user has not made any custom settings. The user only needs to directly obtain the corresponding target ambient temperature and humidity, and detect the ambient temperature and humidity at startup to use as the initial ambient temperature and humidity.

[0078] In one possible implementation, when obtaining the initial ambient temperature and humidity and the target ambient temperature and humidity, the air conditioning device may further include:

[0079] Step A20, when the set temperature of the air conditioning equipment changes, obtaining the current ambient temperature, using the obtained current ambient temperature as the initial ambient temperature, and using the set temperature as the target ambient temperature;

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, after a user adjusts the set temperature of the air conditioning equipment, it is necessary to re-acquire the initial and target ambient temperatures. This is because after the target ambient temperature changes, the target ambient temperature and the initial ambient temperature also change, and the temperature change cycle needs to be recalculated to re-determine the temperature completion. It is understood that after the temperature is reset, the target ambient temperature is the temperature set by the user, and the initial ambient temperature is the temperature currently detected by the temperature sensor. At this time, the temperature completion is 0.

[0081] And / or, in step A30, when the set humidity of the air conditioning equipment changes, the current ambient humidity is obtained, and the obtained current ambient humidity is used as the initial ambient humidity, and the set humidity is used as the target ambient humidity.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, after a user adjusts the set humidity of the air conditioning device, it is necessary to re-acquire the initial and target ambient humidity. This is because after the target ambient humidity changes, the target and initial ambient humidity also change, requiring the humidity change cycle to be recalculated and the humidity completion degree to be re-determined. It is understood that after the humidity is reset, the target ambient humidity is the humidity set by the user, and the initial ambient humidity is the humidity currently detected by the humidity sensor. At this point, the humidity completion degree is 0.

[0083] In one possible implementation, referring to FIG. 2 , the step of obtaining the current ambient temperature and the current ambient humidity of the air conditioning equipment may include:

[0084] Step S11, obtaining the current ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor;

[0085] Step S12: obtaining the current ambient humidity detected by the humidity sensor.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the current ambient temperature and humidity are monitored in real time by temperature sensors and humidity sensors, so that the temperature completion degree and humidity completion degree can be determined based on the current ambient temperature and humidity, and the temperature and humidity completion degrees can be adjusted synchronously.

[0087] It should be noted that the detection frequency of the temperature sensor and humidity sensor can be executed according to a preset cycle, that is, the current ambient temperature and ambient humidity can be detected once every preset time (such as 1 minute) to further grasp the current temperature completion and humidity completion.

[0088] Furthermore, based on the above steps, the step of determining the control parameters of the air conditioning equipment according to the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree may include:

[0089] Step S41, adjust the fan speed of the air conditioning equipment according to the difference between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree, and return to execute the acquisition of the current ambient temperature and current ambient humidity of the air conditioning equipment until the difference between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree is within the preset threshold range.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 , after obtaining the current ambient temperature and the current ambient humidity by direct detection, step S20 and step S30 may be continued to calculate the temperature completion and the humidity completion, respectively. It should be noted that the temperature completion and the humidity completion are both the actual temperature completion and the actual humidity completion within the current cycle. The difference between the temperature completion and the humidity completion is then calculated to determine whether the difference is within a preset threshold range. The preset threshold range is a synchronization difference threshold pre-set by the user, which indicates the permissible difference between the temperature completion and the humidity completion. The larger the absolute value of the preset threshold, the higher the tolerance for the synchronization of the temperature completion and the humidity completion.

[0091] In the process of adjusting the fan speed of the air conditioning equipment, it is necessary to increase or decrease the fan speed based on the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree. For example, when the temperature completion degree is greater than the humidity completion degree, the fan speed is increased; when the temperature completion degree is less than the humidity completion degree, the fan speed is decreased, thereby making the humidity completion degree as close as possible to the temperature completion degree, until the difference between the temperature and humidity completion degrees is within a preset threshold range. It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present application, the humidity completion degree is adjusted by post-feedback adjustment, which has a certain lag and may require multiple adjustments and multiple cycles to achieve synchronization of the temperature and humidity completion degrees.

[0092] In another possible implementation, referring to FIG. 3 , the step of obtaining the current ambient temperature and the current ambient humidity of the air conditioning equipment may include:

[0093] Step S13, obtaining the current ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor;

[0094] Step S14: predicting the ambient humidity reached when the air conditioning equipment is running at the current fan speed as the current ambient humidity.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the current ambient temperature and humidity are mainly monitored in real time by a temperature sensor, and the current ambient humidity is then predicted to obtain the current ambient humidity, so as to subsequently calculate the temperature completion degree and humidity completion degree based on the current ambient temperature and the current ambient humidity, and then perform synchronous adjustment of the temperature and humidity completion degrees.

[0096] It should be noted that the temperature sensor's detection frequency and prediction of the current ambient humidity can be performed based on a preset cycle. That is, the current ambient temperature can be detected once every preset time (e.g., 1 minute), and the ambient humidity within this cycle can be predicted based on the operating parameters of the air conditioning equipment, thereby further understanding the current temperature and humidity completion levels. In the process of predicting ambient humidity, it is necessary to obtain the current operating parameters of the air conditioning equipment, including the ambient state (current temperature and humidity), operating status (including compressor frequency), user settings, and other parameters. Then, a humidity prediction model is used to predict the ambient humidity based on the operating parameters, obtaining the ambient humidity achieved under the current operating parameters (including the current fan speed) as the current ambient humidity.

[0097] Referring to Figure 4, Figure 4 shows the changes in indoor temperature and indoor humidity over a period of time (120 minutes). It can be seen from the figure that after adopting the control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the present application, the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree are basically kept synchronized, and the target ambient temperature and target ambient humidity are reached almost at the same time point.

[0098] Furthermore, based on the above steps, the step of determining the control parameters of the air conditioning equipment according to the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree may include:

[0099] Step S42, determining whether the difference between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree is within a preset threshold range;

[0100] Step S43: when the difference between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree is within a preset threshold range, determining the current fan speed as a control parameter of the air conditioning equipment;

[0101] Step S44, when the difference between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree is outside the preset threshold range, adjust the current fan speed, and return to the step of predicting the ambient humidity reached when the air conditioning equipment runs at the current fan speed as the current ambient humidity.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2 , after obtaining the current ambient temperature and humidity, steps S20 and S30 may be executed to respectively determine the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree. It should be noted that the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree are both the actual temperature completion degree and the predicted humidity completion degree for the current cycle. The difference between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree is then calculated to determine whether the difference is within a preset threshold range (e.g., a range of -0.5 to +0.5). It will be appreciated that when the difference between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree is within the preset threshold range, the current degree of synchronization between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree meets the preset requirements, and the current fan speed can be directly determined as the control parameter of the air conditioning system without adjusting the fan speed.

[0103] In the process of adjusting the current fan speed, the fan speed that can make the difference between the temperature completion and the humidity completion fall within the preset threshold range can be found through a prediction method. First, based on the humidity prediction model, the current operating parameters and various optional fan speeds, the humidity changes and the corresponding humidity completion within this cycle are predicted, and finally an optimal fan speed is selected that can make the difference between the temperature completion and the humidity completion fall within the preset threshold range, so that the temperature completion and humidity completion meet the preset requirements. It should be noted that since the present application uses a pre-trained humidity prediction model to predict the changes in humidity within this cycle to select the optimal fan speed, it belongs to predictive regulation, so only one adjustment is needed to complete the synchronization of temperature and humidity completion, saving synchronization time and improving synchronization efficiency.

[0104] In another possible implementation, the step of determining the control parameters of the air conditioning equipment according to the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree may include:

[0105] Step S46, determining whether the humidity completion degree is equal to the temperature completion degree;

[0106] Step S47, when the humidity completion degree is equal to the temperature completion degree, determining the current fan speed as a control parameter of the air conditioning equipment;

[0107] Step S48, when the humidity completion degree is not equal to the temperature completion degree, adjust the current fan speed, and return to the step of predicting the ambient humidity reached when the air conditioning equipment runs at the current fan speed as the current ambient humidity.

[0108] It should be noted that steps S46 to S48 are technical solutions parallel to steps S42 to S44. When the user has a higher requirement for temperature and humidity completion synchronization, the humidity completion can be equal to the temperature completion as the standard for temperature and humidity synchronization. It can be understood that when the temperature completion and the humidity completion are equal, it is determined that the current degree of synchronization of the temperature completion and the humidity completion meets the synchronization requirements of this solution, and the current fan speed can be directly determined as the control parameter of the air conditioning equipment without adjusting the fan speed.

[0109] Similarly, when adjusting the current fan speed, a prediction method can be used to find the fan speed that will equalize the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree. First, based on the humidity prediction model, current operating parameters, and various optional fan speeds, the humidity changes within the current cycle and the corresponding humidity completion degree are predicted. Finally, the optimal fan speed that will equalize the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree is selected, thereby maintaining consistency between the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree.

[0110] Furthermore, in a possible implementation, the control method of the air conditioning equipment may further include:

[0111] Step S49: determining the fan speed corresponding to when the difference between the humidity completion degree and the temperature completion degree is minimum, and using the speed as the control parameter of the air conditioning equipment.

[0112] It should be noted that step S49 is a supplementary solution to steps S46 to S48, that is, if the optimal fan speed that can make the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree completely equal cannot be found among the optional fan speeds, then the fan speed that minimizes the difference between the humidity completion degree and the temperature completion degree is sought as the control parameter of the air conditioning equipment, so that the temperature completion degree and the humidity completion degree can be kept as consistent as possible.

[0113] For example, in combination with the contents of the above embodiments, the specific implementation steps of the air conditioning equipment in some embodiments of the present application are shown in Figure 5, including: first, the air conditioner is turned on, the ambient temperature value Te, the ambient humidity value He, the set temperature value Ts, and the set humidity value Hs are obtained, and then the temperature difference is calculated as ∆T=|Te-Ts| and the humidity difference is calculated as ∆H=|He-Hs|; at every interval T (1 minute), the following steps are performed: a. Obtain the current environmental status, operating parameters (including compressor frequency), user settings and other parameters; b. 1. When the internal fan speed is changed, the above three types of parameters are combined and, based on the humidity prediction model, the humidity value H1 after the internal fan speed is controlled is predicted; c. The temperature completion degree is calculated as PT=|Te-T1| / ∆T, which is between [0,1]; the humidity completion degree PH is calculated as |He-H1| / ∆H, which is between [0,1]; among all the PT and PH corresponding to the internal fan speeds, the internal fan speed with the smallest |PH-PT| is selected as the internal fan speed controlled in this cycle, and the internal fan speed is operated according to this internal fan speed in this cycle.

[0114] It should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the control method of the air conditioning equipment of the present application.
