[0040] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the air conditioning equipment structure of the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiment of the present application.

It may also include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface. The network interface 104 may include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface (such as a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The memory 105 may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) or a stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk drive. The memory 105 may also be a storage device independent of the processor 101.

[0043] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the structure shown in FIG1 does not limit the air conditioning equipment and may include more or fewer components than shown, or a combination of certain components, or a different arrangement of components.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 1 , the memory 105 as a storage medium may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and an air conditioning program.

[0045] In the air conditioning device shown in Figure 1, the network interface 104 is mainly used for data communication with the network server; the user interface 103 is mainly used for data interaction with the user; the processor 101 and the memory 105 in the air conditioning device of the present application can be set in the air conditioning device, and the air conditioning device calls the air conditioning program stored in the memory 105 through the processor 101, and executes the air conditioning method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0046] An embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning method. Referring to FIG. 2 , FIG. 2 is a flow chart of an embodiment of an air conditioning method of the present application.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the air conditioning method includes the following steps:

[0048] Step S10: Periodically obtain current air parameter values ​​in the working space of the air conditioning equipment.

[0049] It should be noted that the execution subject of the method of this embodiment can be a device with functions such as data processing, network communication and program running, such as: a control unit or control chip of an air conditioner, etc., or other devices that can achieve the same or similar functions. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this. In this embodiment and the following embodiments, the control chip of the air conditioner will be used as an example for explanation.

[0050] It should be understood that there are at least two defects in the traditional air conditioner control scheme. First, the human body is not sensitive enough to the set air quality data such as humidity and temperature, and the user cannot confirm a more comfortable set value; second, if the air conditioner reaches the user set value during operation, it will shut down immediately. However, due to the influence of the surrounding environment, the air conditioner may restart after it meets the shutdown requirement due to the difference between the set value and the current value, causing the air conditioner to start and stop frequently near the user set value. The frequent starting and stopping of the air conditioner may cause damage to the equipment, affecting the normal use of the user.

[0051] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment sets an air parameter range, which is mainly used to determine whether the air conditioner needs to run and to leave a certain redundancy for shutting down after reaching the set value, so as to avoid the air conditioner from starting and stopping frequently in a short period of time. At the same time, a target air parameter value is calculated based on the set air parameter range, so that the air conditioner can be shut down immediately during reverse operation to save energy.

[0052] It can be understood that air conditioning equipment refers to equipment that has an impact on at least one of the air quality data such as temperature or humidity in the air, including but not limited to a series of equipment such as air conditioners, fresh air fans, dehumidifiers, etc.; wherein, the working space of the air conditioning equipment refers to the space where the user is located, for example: the air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. When operating in different modes, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit can both have an impact on the space where they are located. Taking the cooling mode as an example, in the cooling mode, the area where the indoor unit is located, that is, the indoor room, will be cooled, while the area where the outdoor unit is located will be temporarily heated up due to the influence of the refrigerant. Therefore, in order to distinguish the impact of different areas on this embodiment and meet the normal usage needs of the user, the working space of the air conditioning equipment in the embodiment of the present application specifically refers to the space where the user exists or there is user usage demand, generally referring to indoors.

[0053] In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, the current air parameter value refers to air dimension data that has an impact on the air quality evaluation, which includes but is not limited to air quality data such as temperature and humidity. Periodicity means that real-time air quality data such as the current temperature and current humidity in the working space of the air conditioning equipment are obtained at intervals to facilitate subsequent equipment operation control.

[0054] Step S20: Compare the current air parameter value with the target air parameter range.

[0055] The target air parameter range can be a parameter range set by the user, and different parameter ranges can be set for different air dimension data. For example, for temperature, the target temperature range can be set to between 20°C and 30°C; for humidity, the target humidity range can be set to between 20% and 30%. This embodiment is only an example for illustration and no specific limitation is imposed.

[0056] When comparing the current air parameter value and the target air parameter range, if the current air parameter value is within the target parameter range, it means that the current air parameter value is in a suitable range and there is no need to control the equipment to adjust it. For example: the target temperature range is set between 20℃-30℃. If the current indoor temperature collected is 26℃, it means that the indoor temperature is in a range that is more comfortable for the user. There is no need to control the air conditioning equipment to change the operating mode, and the current operating mode and operating status can be maintained.

[0057] Step S30: When the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range, a target air parameter value is determined, and the air conditioning device is controlled to continue operating until the current air parameter value reaches the target air parameter value.

[0058] It is worth noting that when the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range, it means that the current air parameter value may reduce the user's comfort and affect the user's experience. Therefore, it is necessary to control the operation of the air conditioning equipment until the target air parameter value corresponding to the target parameter range is met. This not only improves the user experience, but also avoids frequent temperature shutdowns and damage to the equipment.

[0059] It should be noted that the target air parameter value is a value set according to the target parameter range, and can generally be taken as the median value between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the target parameter range. Taking temperature as an example, if the target temperature range is set to 20℃-30℃, the target temperature can be 25℃. It will not start and stop frequently due to cooling due to heat exchange with the environment, nor will it start and stop frequently due to heating. It can adapt to more complex environments and is more robust. In this implementation, the value of the target air parameter can be freely adjusted within the target parameter range without specific restrictions.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application periodically obtains the current air parameter value in the working space where the air-conditioning equipment is located, and compares the current air parameter value with a pre-set target air parameter range. When the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range, the target air parameter value is calculated according to the target air parameter range, and the air-conditioning equipment is controlled to operate until the target air parameter value is reached. Since the target air parameter value is within the target air parameter range, the equipment will not be restarted in a short time even if the shutdown condition is met, thereby avoiding the technical problem of frequent starting and stopping that may occur when the air parameter value meets the shutdown condition in the prior art.

[0061] Refer to FIG3 , which is a flow chart of another embodiment of an air conditioning method of the present application.

[0062] Based on the above embodiment, step S30 includes:

[0063] Step S301: Controlling the operation of the air conditioning equipment according to the comparison result between the current air parameter value and the target air parameter.

[0064] It should be noted that if the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range and is greater than the target air parameter, it means that the current air parameter value needs to be lowered. If the current air parameter value refers to temperature, the cooling mode needs to be run; if the current air parameter value refers to humidity, the dehumidification mode needs to be run.

[0065] Similarly, if the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range and is less than the target air parameter, it means that the current air parameter value needs to be increased. If the current air parameter value refers to temperature, the heating mode needs to be operated; if the current air parameter value refers to humidity, the humid mode needs to be operated.

[0066] In addition, for some more special air dimension parameters, such as PM2.5 or CO2, the lower the value, the better. Therefore, when PM2.5 is outside the target parameter range and is less than the target air parameter, there is no need to increase the PM2.5 content.

[0067] Furthermore, the step of controlling the operation of the air conditioning equipment according to the comparison result of the current air parameter value and the target air parameter includes:

[0068] When the current air parameter value is greater than the maximum value of the target parameter range, controlling the air conditioning device to operate in a first operating mode;

[0069] When the current air parameter value is greater than the minimum value of the target parameter range, the air conditioning equipment is controlled to operate in the second operation mode.

[0070] In the specific implementation, the first operating mode refers to the operating mode of lowering the current air parameter value. Depending on the dimension of the current air parameter value, there are different operating modes, such as: cooling mode, dehumidification mode, reducing the fan speed, etc.; the second operating mode refers to the operating mode of increasing the current air parameter value. Depending on the dimension of the current air parameter value, there are different operating modes, such as: heating mode, humidification mode, increasing the fan speed, etc.

[0071] Furthermore, the air conditioning method further comprises:

[0072] When the current air parameter value is greater than the maximum value of the target parameter interval, the determined target air parameter value is less than or equal to the median value of the target parameter interval;

[0073] When the current air parameter value is less than the minimum value of the target parameter interval, the determined target air parameter value is greater than or equal to the median value of the target parameter interval.

[0074] It can be understood that, taking humidity as an example, if the current humidity is greater than the maximum value of the target humidity interval, it means that the humidity of the current environment is relatively high at this time, so that when the subsequent dehumidification is completed, the dehumidification equipment will not be affected by the high humidity and will restart quickly. In one embodiment, the value of the target air parameter can be adjusted to between the minimum value and the median value of the target parameter interval, so that when the dehumidification is completed, the humidity of the current environment will be lower, and will not rise rapidly due to the influence of the high humidity environment, causing the equipment to restart and prolong the equipment restart time. Similarly, if the current humidity is less than the maximum value of the target humidity interval, it means that the humidity of the current environment is relatively low at this time, so that when the subsequent humidification is completed, the dehumidification equipment will not be affected by the low humidity environment and will restart quickly. In one embodiment, the value of the target air parameter can be adjusted to between the maximum value and the median value of the target parameter interval, so that when the humidification is completed, the humidity of the current environment will be higher, and will not drop rapidly due to the influence of low humidity, causing the equipment to restart.

[0075] Step S302: Periodically obtain current air parameter values.

[0076] Step S303: When the current air parameter value reaches the target air parameter value, the air conditioning device is controlled to stop running until the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range.

[0077] In the specific implementation, taking humidity as an example, the target humidity interval is set to [40%, 60%], and the target humidity parameter value is set to 50%. If the current humidity is measured to be Hc=58%, which is within the interval [40,60], the operating state of the air conditioner will not be adjusted; if Hc=60, which is within the interval [40,60], the operating state of the air conditioner will not be adjusted; if Hc=62, which is outside the interval [40,60] and is greater than the target humidity parameter value set to 50%, the dehumidification mode will be operated at this time. By periodically obtaining the current humidity, when the current humidity is 49%, which is less than the target humidity parameter value of 50%, the air conditioning equipment will be controlled to stop operating.

[0078] This embodiment controls the operation of the air conditioning equipment based on the comparison result between the current air parameter value and the target air parameter, and periodically obtains the current air parameter value. When the current air parameter value reaches the target air parameter value, the air conditioning equipment is controlled to stop running. At this time, since the target air parameter value is in the target air parameter range, the air conditioner will not restart quickly due to environmental influences, thereby avoiding frequent start and stop of the equipment.

[0079] Refer to FIG4 , which is a flow chart of another embodiment of an air conditioning method of the present application.

[0080] Based on the above embodiment, the air conditioning method further includes:

[0081] Step S40: receiving an operation instruction from the user based on the control interface.

[0082] Step S50: According to the operation instruction, a target parameter range corresponding to the air parameter is set.

[0083] It should be noted that the control interface includes at least one of the air quality data such as temperature and humidity mentioned in the above embodiments, and the control interface can change according to the user's operation instructions; the operation instructions in the embodiment of the present application include but are not limited to sliding, clicking, touching and voice control.

[0084] Refer to Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of a control interface provided by this embodiment. In this control interface, the user can drag the progress bar to realize the numerical modification of the upper and lower boundaries of the set target temperature range, and can also realize the numerical modification of the upper and lower boundaries of the set target humidity range. The target humidity range or target temperature range can also be restored to the range initially set by the user by clicking the "Restore Default" option.

[0085] This embodiment receives user operation instructions based on the control interface, and sets the target parameter range corresponding to the air parameter according to the operation instructions, so as to adaptively adjust the target parameter range corresponding to the air parameter to meet the usage needs of users in different regions and with different requirements, thereby improving the user experience.

[0086] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides a storage medium, on which an air conditioning program is stored. When the air conditioning program is executed by a processor, the steps of the air conditioning method described above are implemented.

[0087] Since the storage medium adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0088] Refer to FIG. 6 , which is a structural block diagram of an air conditioning device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0089] As shown in FIG6 , the air conditioning device proposed in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0090] The acquisition module 10 is used to periodically acquire current air parameter values ​​in the working space of the air conditioning equipment.

[0091] It should be understood that there are at least two defects in the traditional air conditioner control scheme. First, the human body is not sensitive enough to the set air quality data such as humidity and / or temperature, and the user cannot confirm a more comfortable set value; second, if the air conditioner reaches the user set value during operation, it will shut down immediately. However, due to the influence of the surrounding environment, the air conditioner may restart after it meets the shutdown requirement due to the difference between the set value and the current value, causing the air conditioner to start and stop frequently near the user set value. The frequent starting and stopping of the air conditioner may cause damage to the equipment, affecting the normal use of the user.

[0092] In order to solve the above problems, this embodiment sets an air parameter range, which is mainly used to determine whether the air conditioner needs to run and to leave a certain redundancy for shutting down after reaching the set value, so as to avoid the air conditioner from starting and stopping frequently in a short period of time. At the same time, a target air parameter value is calculated based on the set air parameter range, so that the air conditioner can be shut down immediately during reverse operation to save energy.

[0093] It can be understood that air conditioning equipment refers to equipment that has an impact on at least one of the air quality data such as temperature and humidity in the air, including but not limited to a series of equipment such as air conditioners, fresh air fans, dehumidifiers, etc.; among them, the working space of the air conditioning equipment refers to the space where the user is located, for example: the air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. When operating in different modes, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit can both have an impact on the space where they are located. Taking the cooling mode as an example, in the cooling mode, the area where the indoor unit is located, that is, the indoor room, will be cooled, while the area where the outdoor unit is located will be temporarily heated up due to the influence of the refrigerant. Therefore, in order to distinguish the impact of different areas on this embodiment and meet the normal usage needs of the user, the working space of the air conditioning equipment in the embodiment of the present application specifically refers to the space where the user exists or there is user usage demand, generally referring to indoors.

[0094] In addition, in an embodiment of the present application, the current air parameter value refers to air dimension data that has an impact on the air quality evaluation, which includes but is not limited to air quality data such as temperature and humidity. Periodicity means that real-time air quality data such as the current temperature and current humidity in the working space of the air conditioning equipment are obtained at intervals to facilitate subsequent equipment operation control.

[0095] The comparison module 20 is used to compare the current air parameter value with the target air parameter range.

[0096] The target air parameter range can be a parameter range set by the user, and different parameter ranges can be set for different air dimension data. For example, for temperature, the target temperature range can be set to between 20°C and 30°C; for humidity, the target humidity range can be set to between 20% and 30%. This embodiment is only an example for illustration and no specific limitation is imposed.

[0097] When comparing the current air parameter value and the target air parameter range, if the current air parameter value is within the target parameter range, it means that the current air parameter value is in a suitable range and there is no need to control the equipment to adjust it. For example: the target temperature range is set between 20℃-30℃. If the current indoor temperature collected is 26℃, it means that the indoor temperature is in a range that is more comfortable for the user. There is no need to control the air conditioning equipment to change the operating mode, and the current operating mode and operating status can be maintained.

[0098] The control module 30 is used to determine the target air parameter value when the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range, and control the air conditioning equipment to continue running until the current air parameter value reaches the target air parameter value; the target air parameter value is the value of the target air parameter range.

[0099] It is worth noting that when the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range, it means that the current air parameter value may reduce the user's comfort and affect the user's experience. Therefore, it is necessary to control the operation of the air conditioning equipment until the target air parameter value corresponding to the target parameter range is met. This not only improves the user experience, but also avoids frequent temperature shutdowns and damage to the equipment.

[0100] It should be noted that the target air parameter value is a value set according to the target parameter range, and can generally be taken as the median value between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the target parameter range. Taking temperature as an example, if the target temperature range is set to 20℃-30℃, the target temperature can be 25℃. It will not start and stop frequently due to cooling due to heat exchange with the environment, nor will it start and stop frequently due to heating. It can adapt to more complex environments and is more robust. In this implementation, the value of the target air parameter can be freely adjusted within the target parameter range without specific restrictions.

[0101] In one embodiment, the control module 30 is also used to control the operation of the air conditioning equipment based on the comparison result of the current air parameter value and the target air parameter; periodically obtain the current air parameter value; when the current air parameter value reaches the target air parameter value, control the air conditioning equipment to stop operating until the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range.

[0102] In one embodiment, the control module 30 is also used to control the air conditioning equipment to operate in a first operating mode when the current air parameter value is greater than the maximum value of the target parameter range; and to control the air conditioning equipment to operate in a second operating mode when the current air parameter value is greater than the minimum value of the target parameter range.

[0103] In one embodiment, the control module 30 is further configured to set the target air parameter value to a median value between a maximum value and a minimum value of a target parameter interval.

[0104] In one embodiment, the control module 30 is further configured to prevent the air conditioning device from operating when the current air parameter value is within the target parameter range.

[0105] In one embodiment, the acquisition module 10 is further configured to detect that the current air parameters include humidity and / or temperature.

[0106] In one embodiment, the control module 30 is further configured to receive an operation instruction from a user based on a control interface; and set a target parameter range corresponding to the air parameter according to the operation instruction.

[0107] This embodiment periodically obtains the current air parameter value in the working space where the air-conditioning equipment is located, and compares the current air parameter value with a pre-set target air parameter range. When the current air parameter value is outside the target parameter range, the target air parameter value is calculated according to the target air parameter range, and the air-conditioning equipment is controlled to operate until the target air parameter value is reached. Since the target air parameter value is within the target air parameter range, the equipment will not be restarted in a short time even if the shutdown condition is met, thereby avoiding the technical problem of frequent starting and stopping that may occur when the air parameter value meets the shutdown condition in the prior art.

[0108] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowchart in the embodiment of the present application are shown in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in sequence in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless clearly stated herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in order, and they can be performed in other orders.
