Description

Air conditioning control method, device, storage medium and air conditioning

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on February 1, 2024, with application number 202410147153.2 and application name “Air Conditioning Control Method, Device, Storage Medium and Air Conditioning”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioning control method, device, storage medium and air conditioning. Background Art

[0003] The current temperature control logic of air conditioners usually sets a set temperature. The air conditioner then detects the return air temperature based on the temperature sensor installed on the indoor unit. The air conditioner is controlled to perform temperature control (for example, continue operation, reduce frequency operation, or stop the compressor, etc.) based on whether the return air temperature reaches the set temperature.

[0004] However, for example, in wall-mounted air conditioners, since the indoor unit is typically mounted high, the temperature sensor can only detect the temperature higher up in the room. However, due to factors such as cold air sinking, hot air rising, and air circulation, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor may not be consistent with the temperature felt by users inside the room. Consequently, the air conditioner may control the room to reach the set temperature, but the temperature felt by the user may be lower or different from the set temperature. Technical issues

[0005] With the current air conditioning control method, the air conditioner usually operates in a high energy consumption mode but still cannot effectively meet the requirements of a good comfort experience. Technical Solutions

[0033] Implementation Methods of the Application

[0034] The present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the examples provided herein are merely for explaining the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. In addition, the examples provided below are partial examples for implementing the present disclosure, rather than providing all examples for implementing the present disclosure. In the absence of conflict, the technical solutions described in the examples of the present disclosure may be implemented in any combination.

[0035] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a method or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only the elements explicitly stated, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to the implementation of the method or apparatus.

[0036] For example, the air-conditioning control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a series of steps, but the air-conditioning control method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to the recorded steps. Similarly, the air-conditioning control device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a series of units, but the device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to including the units explicitly recorded, and may also include units that need to be set up to obtain relevant information or perform processing based on information.

[0037] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure pertains. The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0038] It is understandable that in the specific implementation of this application, related data such as ambient temperature detection data is involved. When the embodiments in this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0039] Figure 1 schematically illustrates a flow chart of an air conditioner control method according to one embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner control method can be executed by any control device with processing capabilities, such as an air conditioner, a mobile phone, a computer, a smartwatch, or other household appliances. In one specific embodiment of the present application, the control device that executes the air conditioner control method is the air conditioner itself.

[0040] The air conditioner is arranged in a temperature-controlled space, and a first temperature measuring device is provided on the air conditioner, and the position of the first temperature measuring device is a first temperature measuring position in the temperature-controlled space; the air conditioner also includes a second temperature measuring device, and the position of the second temperature measuring device is a second temperature measuring position in the temperature-controlled space, wherein the second temperature measuring position is not the same position as the first temperature measuring position; as shown in Figure 1, the air conditioning control method may include steps S110 to S150.

[0041] Step S110, obtain temperature control information, and determine a third temperature measurement position in the temperature control space based on the temperature control information, wherein the third temperature measurement position is not the same position as the first temperature measurement position; step S120, obtain a first measured temperature through the first temperature measuring device, wherein the first measured temperature is the actual temperature corresponding to the first temperature measurement position; step S130, obtain a second measured temperature through the second temperature measuring device, wherein the second measured temperature is the actual temperature corresponding to the second temperature measurement position; step S140, determine a third measured temperature based on the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature, wherein the third measured temperature is the actual temperature corresponding to the third temperature measurement position; step S150, control the air conditioner to perform temperature control according to the third measured temperature.

[0042] The temperature control information of the air conditioner may be the temperature control information received by the air conditioner. In some examples, the temperature control information may include information such as temperature control scene modes (for example, standard mode, sleep mode, sports mode, etc.) and set temperatures (for example, 25 degrees or 27 degrees, etc.). In some examples, the temperature control information may also include position information corresponding to the third temperature measurement position input by the user (for example, the first height, etc.).

[0043] A control device (such as the air conditioner itself or another control device) can obtain the temperature control information of the air conditioner and determine a third measurement location within the temperature-controlled space (such as a room) based on the temperature control information of the air conditioner. The third measurement location is different from the first temperature measurement location, wherein the first temperature measurement location is the location of the first temperature measurement device (such as a temperature sensor provided on the air conditioner) provided on the air conditioner (such as the return air outlet of the air conditioner). The third measurement location can refer to a certain height position, a certain horizontal position, or a certain point position. For example, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the third measurement location refers to a certain height position.

[0044] The control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device) can further obtain ambient temperature detection data at other locations in the temperature-controlled space. The ambient temperature detection data at other locations in the temperature-controlled space may include the actual temperature corresponding to the second temperature measurement position in the temperature-controlled space measured by some second temperature measuring devices, such as a remote control, a human-carried device (such as a smart watch, a ring or a mobile phone, etc.) or other household appliances.

[0045] The second measured temperature is the actual ambient temperature corresponding to the second temperature measurement position measured by the second temperature measuring device. The second temperature measuring device can be a device with ambient temperature measurement capability in the temperature-controlled space (for example, a remote control, humidifier, refrigerator, etc. with temperature detection capability), and the second temperature measuring device can establish a communication connection (such as radio frequency communication, Bluetooth communication or infrared communication, etc.) with the control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device), so that the second temperature measuring device can transmit the measured second measured temperature to the control device.

[0046] In one example, the second temperature measurement position corresponding to the second temperature measuring device is a default position. For example, the auxiliary temperature measuring device is a remote control, and the control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device) defaults to a position 0.5 meters above the second temperature measurement position corresponding to the remote control. The position information (such as the height) of the second temperature measurement position may be pre-configured in the control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device). In one example, the second temperature measuring device can measure its position in the temperature-controlled space to obtain its second temperature measurement position (such as the height information). The auxiliary temperature measuring device can send the second measured temperature and the second temperature measurement position (such as the height information) to the control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device).

[0047] The control device (such as the air conditioner itself or another control device) can further analyze the first measured temperature measured by the first temperature measuring device and the second measured temperature measured by the second temperature measuring device, and through reasonable inference, determine the actual temperature corresponding to the third measurement location in real time (i.e., the third measured temperature). The control device (such as the air conditioner itself or another control device) can further control the air conditioner to achieve the temperature control target based on the third measured temperature, so that the set temperature is reached at the third measurement location.

[0048] In this way, when temperature controlling the air conditioner, a third temperature measurement location outside the first temperature measurement location and adapted to the temperature control information can be determined within the temperature-controlled space as the target control location. Then, based on the first temperature measured by the first temperature measurement device on the air conditioner and the second temperature measured by the second temperature measurement device at the third temperature measurement location, the third temperature corresponding to the third temperature measurement location is determined, and the air conditioner is controlled based on the third temperature measurement temperature. Thus, when controlling the air conditioner, the temperature at the third temperature measurement location that best meets actual needs is targeted for regulation. This allows the air conditioner to operate in an appropriate energy-consuming mode and effectively meet comfort requirements, effectively improving the comfort of the air conditioner's temperature control while saving energy.

[0049] For example, according to current air conditioning control algorithms, when the return air temperature drops to the set temperature, the person's location is already 2-3°C lower than the set temperature. This temperature control strategy is neither comfortable nor energy-efficient. However, with the embodiments of the present application, control can be performed with the temperature of the third measurement location adapted to the human body reaching the set temperature, thus ensuring both comfort and energy efficiency.

[0050] The following describes further optional specific embodiments of each step performed when performing air conditioning control in the embodiment of Figure 1.

[0051] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2, determining a third temperature measurement position within the temperature control space based on the temperature control information may include: step S210, obtaining the temperature control scene mode set in the air conditioner based on the temperature control information; step S220, determining the third temperature measurement position matched by the temperature control scene mode.

[0052] Based on the temperature control information set in the air conditioner, the temperature control scene mode set in the air conditioner can be obtained. The temperature control scene modes include standard mode, sleep mode, sports mode, and other scene modes that can be set in the air conditioner. A matching third temperature measurement location can be pre-set for each temperature control scene mode, and then the third temperature measurement location matching the temperature control scene mode can be determined.

[0053] For example, referring to Figure 3, in one specific example, when the temperature control scene mode is standard mode, the third temperature measurement location matched by standard mode is at a height of 0.9m within the temperature control space; when the temperature control scene mode is sleep mode, the third temperature measurement location matched by sleep mode is at a height of 0.5m within the temperature control space; and when the temperature control scene mode is sports mode, the third temperature measurement location matched by sports mode is at a height of 1.75m within the temperature control space. Based on this example, when controlling the air conditioner, the actual needs of the human body can be effectively considered in different temperature control scene modes to adjust the temperature according to the third temperature measurement location.

[0054] In one embodiment, determining a third temperature measurement position within the temperature-controlled space based on the temperature control information may include: obtaining location information input by the user from the temperature control information of the air conditioner, and obtaining the third temperature measurement position based on the position corresponding to the location information (for example, the height value or height range of the first height, etc.).

[0055] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4, determining the third measured temperature based on the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature may include: step S310, determining a first height corresponding to the first temperature measurement position, a second height corresponding to the second temperature measurement position, and a third height corresponding to the third temperature measurement position; step S320, calculating based on the first height, the second height, the third height, the first measured temperature, and the second measured temperature to obtain the third measured temperature.

[0056] The control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device) analyzes and processes the first height, the second height, the third height, the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature, and can accurately combine the temperatures of these two positions in the temperature-controlled space to quickly analyze the third measured temperature corresponding to the third temperature measurement position to further control the air conditioner.

[0057] Specifically, in one embodiment, the calculation based on the first height, the second height, the third height, the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature to obtain the third measured temperature may include: calculating according to the formula Rt=h3*f(Ts,Ty), f(Ts,Ty)=(Ts-Ty) / (h1-h2) to obtain the third measured temperature, wherein Rt refers to the third measured temperature, Ts refers to the first measured temperature, Ty refers to the second measured temperature, h3 refers to the third height, h1 refers to the first height, and h2 refers to the second height.

[0058] Based on the calculation according to the formula Rt=h3*f(Ts,Ty), f(Ts,Ty)=(Ts-Ty) / (h1-h2), the spatial position temperature at the position at the third height in the temperature-controlled space can be accurately calculated. The default temperature at all positions at the third height is consistent, so the third measurement temperature Rt corresponding to the third measurement position at the third height can be accurately obtained.

[0059] In other optional embodiments, the calculation based on the first height, the second height, the third height, the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature to obtain the third measured temperature may include: querying a preset temperature matching the first height, the second height, the third height, the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature from a preset query table, and using the preset temperature as the third measured temperature corresponding to the third measurement position.

[0060] In a consistent embodiment, determining the third measured temperature according to the first measured temperature and the second measured temperature includes: if the second temperature measurement position matches the third temperature measurement position, determining the second measured temperature as the third measured temperature.

[0061] The control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device) can obtain the second measured temperature at the second temperature measurement position. If it is determined that the second temperature measurement position matches the third temperature measurement position, the second measured temperature can be directly determined as the third measured temperature corresponding to the third temperature measurement position.

[0062] The method for determining whether the second temperature measurement position matches the third temperature measurement position can be: the control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device) determines in accordance with the temperature control information that the second temperature measurement position is designated as the third temperature measurement position in the air conditioner, or the height of the second temperature measurement position is consistent with that of the third temperature measurement position.

[0063] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the air conditioning control method is applied to the air conditioner, and the second temperature measuring device includes a remote control of the air conditioner; obtaining the second measured temperature through the second temperature measuring device includes one of the following methods: a first method, receiving the second measured temperature transmitted periodically by the remote control; a second method, sending a temperature acquisition instruction to the remote control, and receiving the second measured temperature transmitted by the remote control in response to the temperature acquisition instruction.

[0064] In the first mode, the control device (specifically the air conditioner itself in this embodiment) can receive the second measured temperature transmitted periodically by the remote control. For example, the control device (such as the air conditioner itself or other control device) can receive the second measured temperature transmitted by the remote control at specified time intervals (for example, 10 seconds).

[0065] In the second mode, the control device (specifically the air conditioner itself in this embodiment) can send a temperature acquisition instruction to the remote control as needed, and receive the second measured temperature transmitted by the remote control in response to the temperature acquisition instruction.

[0066] In one embodiment, before obtaining the second measured temperature through the second temperature measuring device, the method further includes: establishing a Bluetooth connection with the remote control, where the Bluetooth connection is used for the air conditioner to interact with the remote control.

[0067] The control device (specifically the air conditioner itself in this embodiment) establishes a low-power Bluetooth connection with the remote control. The Bluetooth connection is used for the control device (specifically the air conditioner itself in this embodiment) to interact with the remote control. Through low-power Bluetooth interaction, the second measured temperature transmitted by the remote control at specified time intervals (for example, 10 seconds) can be received or a temperature acquisition instruction can be sent to the remote control.

[0068] Specifically, the remote control MCU can use an ultra-low power Bluetooth chip, and the control device (specifically the air conditioner itself in this embodiment) interacts with the remote control through a low-power Bluetooth connection, which can perform low-power and high-frequency communication, ensuring that the second measured temperature transmitted by the remote control at specified time intervals (for example, 10 seconds) is obtained in a timely manner with low power consumption.

[0069] In other embodiments, the control device (specifically the air conditioner itself in this embodiment) and the remote control can establish other connections such as infrared communication, but infrared communication code sending is one-way communication, and there is no guarantee that the air conditioner will receive the code (that is, there is no guarantee that the second measured temperature will be received in time), and the energy consumption of infrared code sending is also relatively large (the average current during code sending is about 30mA).

[0070] Further, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 5, controlling the air conditioner for temperature control according to the third measured temperature may include: step S410, calculating according to the third measured temperature to obtain a coefficient of change representing the temperature change trend at the third temperature measurement position; step S420, if the difference between the third measured temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, determining the control parameter of the air conditioner according to the coefficient of change; step S430, controlling the air conditioner for temperature control according to the control parameter so that the set temperature is reached at the third temperature measurement position.

[0071] By calculating based on the third measured temperature, a coefficient of variation representing the temperature change trend at the third temperature measurement position can be obtained. Specifically, the coefficient of variation K can be obtained by calculation according to the formula K=dTin / dt, where dt can be the time interval between the two determinations of the second measured temperature (specifically, it can be equal to the specified time interval (for example, 10 seconds) for the second measuring device to transmit the second measured temperature), and dTin is the temperature difference between the two determined third measured temperatures (that is, the third measured temperature determined this time and the third measured temperature determined last time).

[0072] Furthermore, if the control device (such as the air conditioner itself or another control device) detects that the difference between the third measured temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold, it determines the air conditioner's control parameters based on the coefficient of variation. The air conditioner is then controlled to achieve the desired temperature control target based on the control parameters. This allows the next control parameter to be calculated in advance at a reasonable time, allowing the air conditioner to be controlled in advance based on the temperature change trend at the third temperature measurement location. This can prevent temperature overshoot at the third temperature measurement location and further improve the air conditioner's temperature control effectiveness.

[0073] In one embodiment, detecting that the difference between the third measured temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold can be performed by determining that the difference between the third measured temperature and the set temperature is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold when the set temperature Tset minus the third measured temperature T is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold. In one specific embodiment, n is 1. Based on this approach, the applicant has discovered that the air conditioner can be controlled in a timely and effective manner based on the temperature change trend at the third temperature measurement location.

[0074] Furthermore, in one embodiment, determining the control parameters of the air conditioner based on the variation coefficient may specifically include: obtaining the current compressor frequency of the air conditioner at the current moment; calculating based on the variation coefficient and the current compressor frequency to obtain the target compressor frequency corresponding to the adjustment moment after the current moment.

[0075] In this embodiment, the control parameter is specifically the compressor frequency. The target compressor frequency for the next step is calculated in advance at a reasonable time. The target compressor frequency is calculated based on the temperature change trend at the third temperature measuring position, and the air conditioner is controlled in advance to perform temperature regulation, which can effectively avoid overshoot of the temperature at the third temperature measuring position.

[0076] Specifically, in one embodiment, the calculating based on the variation coefficient and the current compressor frequency to obtain the target compressor frequency corresponding to the adjustment time after the current time may include:

[0077] The target compressor frequency is calculated according to the formula Fo = FK * N, where F is the current compressor frequency, Fo is the target compressor frequency, K is the coefficient of variation, and N is the adjustment factor. The applicant has discovered that the formula Fo = FK * N can accurately calculate the target compressor frequency based on the temperature variation trend at the third temperature measurement location, thereby effectively controlling the air conditioner in advance to achieve temperature regulation.

[0078] In one embodiment, the method for determining the adjustment factor includes one of the following methods: first, determining a predetermined constant as the adjustment factor; second, determining an adaptive matching constant based on the height difference between the first temperature measurement position and the third temperature measurement position, and determining the matching constant as the adjustment factor.

[0079] In the first approach, a predetermined constant is determined as the adjustment factor. For example, if the predetermined constant is 4, the main control device calculates and sets the adjustment factor N to 4. In the second approach, a matching constant adapted to the height difference between the first and third temperature measurement locations is used as the adjustment factor N. The matching constant adapted to the height difference can be obtained from a preset factor table. Based on the second approach, the air conditioning temperature control effect can be further improved.

[0080] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioning control device, which can be applied to control equipment. As shown in FIG6 , FIG6 shows a block diagram of an air conditioning control device according to an embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the air conditioning control device can include one or more processors 501 with processing cores and one or more computer-readable storage media memories 502.

[0081] The processor 501 can load the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more computer programs into the memory 502 according to the instructions, and the processor 501 can run the computer programs stored in the memory 502, thereby realizing the various functions in the embodiments of the aforementioned air conditioning control method of this application.
