Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air conditioner technologies face challenges in enhancing user comfort by controlling wind direction and speed without increasing costs or reducing manufacturing efficiency, as they rely on additional sensors to avoid direct cold wind blowing.
Innovation Solution
An air conditioner control method that adjusts the wind guide component's angle, blower speed, and operating frequency based on environmental and system parameters, such as humidity and wind speed, to optimize comfort modes like comfort, anti-direct blowing, soft wind, and windless modes without the need for additional sensors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a special sensor is added to detect user position for anti-direct blowing function, then user comfort experience is improved, but air conditioner cost increases and manufacturing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioner uses its own existing sensors (temperature sensor, humidity sensor, air flow sensor) to detect environmental parameters and calculate user position indirectly through software algorithms, rather than adding dedicated position detection sensors. The control system serves itself by processing data from existing components to achieve anti-direct blowing functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces physical sensor-based detection with a computational model that calculates user position based on environmental parameter distributions. Instead of using mechanical/optical sensors to directly detect user location, the system uses software algorithms to infer position from temperature, humidity, and air flow data collected by existing sensors.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a special sensor is added to detect user position for anti-direct blowing function, then user comfort experience is improved, but manufacturing efficiency decreases and maintenance costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the existing sensors serve multiple functions: the temperature sensor not only monitors ambient temperature for cooling control but also contributes to user position detection for anti-direct blowing. The humidity sensor and air flow sensor similarly serve dual purposes, eliminating the need for dedicated position detection sensors and reducing overall component count.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system processes data from existing sensors to simultaneously achieve temperature control, humidity control, and user position detection, allowing the air conditioner to serve multiple functions without additional hardware investment.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If wind guide component opens at pre-set angle with adjusted blower speed and operating frequency, then direct cold wind sensation is reduced, but control system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically adjusts the opening angle of the wind guide component, blower rotating speed, and operating frequency based on real-time environmental parameters and calculated user position. Instead of fixed settings, the system continuously optimizes these parameters to maintain comfortable conditions while preventing direct cold wind exposure to the user.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system changes multiple operating parameters (wind guide angle, blower speed, frequency) in coordination based on detected environmental conditions and inferred user position, achieving anti-direct blowing through parameter optimization rather than complex mechanical structures.
