Air Conditioner Dynamic Temperature Adjustment for Energy Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional air conditioner control methods fail to optimize energy consumption based on user preferences and environmental conditions, leading to inefficient power usage and potential discomfort.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that adjust the user-set temperature of an air conditioner based on preset conditions, reducing energy consumption by lowering the temperature when indoor conditions meet specific thresholds, while ensuring the temperature remains acceptable for user comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the air conditioner operates at the initial user-set temperature to meet user comfort requirements, then user comfort is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic temperature adjustment by continuously monitoring indoor temperature and automatically modifying the set temperature based on preset conditions. The control module adjusts the temperature parameter in real-time, transitioning from a static user-set temperature to a dynamic adaptive temperature that balances comfort and energy consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback control by detecting the indoor temperature through the detection module and using this information to adjust the set temperature. The control module receives feedback about current temperature conditions and modifies the operating parameters accordingly, creating a closed-loop control system that optimizes energy consumption while maintaining comfort.
2Use of energy by moving object
If power limit measures are implemented to save energy during power shortage, then energy consumption is reduced, but air conditioner functionality is limited and user needs are not met
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the temperature parameter dynamically based on detected indoor conditions and preset rules. By adjusting the set temperature parameter according to actual temperature measurements and predefined criteria, the system adapts its operation to different scenarios, maintaining functionality while optimizing energy consumption during power shortage conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The air conditioner performs self-adjustment of its operating parameters through automated detection and control. The system independently monitors indoor temperature, evaluates preset conditions, and modifies its set temperature without requiring external intervention, enabling it to adapt to power shortage conditions while maintaining user comfort within acceptable ranges.

AI summary
Provided are a method and device for controlling an air conditioner. The method comprises: acquiring a current indoor temperature in an air conditioner control region and an initial user-set temperature of the air conditioner; and adjusting the initial user-set temperature when an indoor temperature is detected to meet a preset condition, energy consumption corresponding to the adjusted set temperature being lower than energy consumption corresponding to the initial user-set temperature. The method reduces power consumption of the air conditioner while ensuring that the temperature of the air conditioner is basically in line with expectations.
