Description

Air conditioner control method and device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a method and a device for controlling an air conditioner.

Background

With the improvement of living standard, air conditioners have been increasingly used. At present, most air conditioners, particularly household air conditioners, adopt a vapor compression method for cooling or heating.

In the process of cooling or heating the air conditioner, the humidity of the air conditioning operation area may be changed. For example: when the deviation between the preset temperature and the actual temperature of an air conditioning action area (such as a room) is large, the air conditioner refrigerates, the compressor operates at high frequency, at the moment, the temperature of a coil pipe in an indoor unit of the air conditioner is low and is generally lower than the dew point temperature of air, therefore, water vapor in the air is continuously condensed, and when the actual temperature of the room reaches the preset temperature, the air humidity is possibly low, and a human body feels dry and uncomfortable. When the difference between the actual temperature of the room and the preset temperature is small, the air conditioner refrigerates, the compressor runs at a low frequency, at the moment, the temperature of the coil pipe is higher and is generally higher than the dew point temperature of air, therefore, water vapor in the air cannot be condensed, and when the actual temperature of the room reaches the preset temperature, the air humidity is possibly larger, and people feel uncomfortable. Therefore, adjusting the humidity of air is a problem that needs to be solved urgently in the technical field of air conditioners at present.

The embodiments are described in a progressive manner, each embodiment focuses on differences from other embodiments, and the same and similar parts among the embodiments are referred to each other. For the structures, products and the like disclosed by the embodiments, the description is relatively simple because the structures, the products and the like correspond to the parts disclosed by the embodiments, and the relevant parts can be just described by referring to the method part.

The air conditioner is a common electric appliance in daily life, and can adjust the indoor temperature, namely, raise or lower the temperature, so that the indoor temperature is matched with the preset temperature of a user. However, most of the air conditioners cannot adjust the indoor air humidity at present, in the embodiment of the invention, the indoor temperature and humidity can be adjusted by adjusting the working mode of the air conditioner, the running frequency of the compressor and the like, that is, after a comfortable target temperature and humidity range corresponding to the preset temperature is obtained and determined according to the somatosensory comfort level of a human body and the environment information where the air conditioner is located, the temperature and humidity of an air conditioning action area (indoor) can be adjusted to be matched with the comfortable target temperature and humidity range by adjusting the running mode of the air conditioner, so that the temperature control effect of the air conditioner is ensured, and the function of controlling the air conditioner humidity is also added.

The air conditioner serves a user as an electric appliance, and the comfortable feeling of the user is an important index for judging the performance of the air conditioner. After the user presets the temperature, in a temperature range and the humidity range that corresponds with this preset temperature, the humiture scope promptly, in this humiture scope, the user can feel more comfortable, here, the comfortable grade correspondence is set for with human body's body to the target humiture scope, for example, the most comfortable humiture scope that corresponds is target humiture scope is felt to human body. Therefore, the current target control temperature and humidity range is determined according to the body feeling comfort level of the human body corresponding to the current preset temperature of the air conditioner.

Here, the corresponding relationship between the preset temperature and the target temperature and humidity may be pre-stored, that is, for each preset temperature, a plurality of human bodies may be tested, the most comfortable temperature and humidity of the corresponding human body are obtained, a first temperature and humidity corresponding to a set somatosensory comfort level of a plurality of human body collected samples in a set area of the preset temperature are obtained, a target temperature and humidity range corresponding to the preset temperature is determined according to the first temperature and humidity, and the corresponding relationship is stored. For example: the preset temperature is 25 degrees, at the moment, the first temperature is between 23.5 degrees and 27 degrees, and the first humidity is between 40 percent and 60 percent of relative humidity, most users feel the most comfortable, therefore, a plurality of first integrated temperature sensing humidities are contained in the temperature of 23.5 degrees to 27 degrees and the relative humidity of 40 percent to 60 percent, the temperature of 23.5 degrees to 27 degrees and the humidity of 40 percent to 60 percent can be determined to be in a target temperature and humidity range corresponding to the preset temperature, and the corresponding relation between the preset temperature of 25 degrees and the target temperature and humidity of 23.5 degrees to 27 degrees and the humidity of 40 percent to 60 percent is stored.

Thus, the corresponding relationship between the stored preset temperature and the target temperature and humidity range can be as shown in table 1:

preset temperature	Target temperature and humidity range
		30°	The temperature is 28-30.5 percent, and the humidity is 30-50 percent
28°	The temperature is 26-29 percent, and the humidity is 30-60 percent
		26°	The temperature is 25-28.5 percent, and the humidity is 30-60 percent
…	…

TABLE 1

Here, the current target temperature and humidity range corresponding to the current preset temperature of the air conditioner may be determined according to the correspondence between the stored preset temperature and the target temperature and humidity range. As shown in table 1, if the current preset temperature is 26 °, the obtained current target temperature and humidity range is 25-28.5 ° and the humidity is 30% -60%.

Since the air conditioner may generate a large amount of condensed water during operation, a large amount of bacteria may be bred under proper humidity and temperature conditions and may be transferred to an active area of the air conditioner along with the supply air, which may seriously affect comfort and health of a user. Generally, bacteria are most likely to grow under high humidity or high temperature conditions. Therefore, after determining the current target temperature and humidity range corresponding to the current preset temperature of the air conditioner, it is further necessary to determine the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, which may include: according to the environmental information of the air conditioner, determining the active temperature and humidity range of bacteria, wherein the environmental information comprises: at least one of geographical region information and solar term information; then, an overlapping temperature and humidity range between the current target temperature and humidity range and the bacteria activity temperature and humidity range is obtained, and the temperature and humidity range which does not include the overlapping temperature and humidity range in the current target temperature and humidity range is determined as the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a temperature and humidity range according to an exemplary embodiment. For example: the air conditioner is used in a rainy and humid southern area and in summer, so that the geographical region information is the southern area and the seasonal climate information is summer, and thus, the corresponding active temperature and humidity range of bacteria can be determined, as indicated by the dotted box 210 in fig. 1. The determined current target temperature and humidity range may be an area shown by a solid line box 220 in fig. 1, so that an overlapping temperature and humidity range between the current target temperature and humidity range and the bacteria activity temperature and humidity range may be an area shown by a shaded box 230 in fig. 1, and a temperature and humidity range excluding the overlapping temperature and humidity range among the current target temperature and humidity range is the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

After the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range corresponding to the current preset temperature of the air conditioner is determined, the air conditioner can be controlled, and the temperature and the humidity of an air conditioning action area are adjusted to be matched with the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioner control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the process of the air conditioning control includes:

step 201: and acquiring the current temperature and humidity value of the air conditioning action area.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner may adjust the temperature and humidity of the air conditioning action area, so that the current temperature value of the air conditioning action area may be obtained by a corresponding temperature sensor in the air conditioning system, and the current humidity value of the air conditioning action area may be obtained by a corresponding humidity sensor in the air conditioning system, that is, the current temperature and humidity values include: a current temperature value and a current humidity value.

Step 202: is the current temperature-humidity value within the current comfort target temperature-humidity range determined? If so, the process ends, otherwise, go to step 203.

The current temperature and humidity value comprises a current temperature value and a current humidity value, and the corresponding current comfort target temperature and humidity range also comprises: temperature range and humidity range. If the current temperature value is within the temperature range of the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range and the current humidity value is within the humidity range of the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the current temperature and humidity value can be determined to be within the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, air conditioner control is not needed, the process is ended, and otherwise, step 203 is executed.

Step 203: and adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner until the current temperature and humidity value is matched with the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

In the implementation of the invention, the humidity can be compared firstly, if the humidity is too high, the dehumidification can be carried out, otherwise, the air conditioner operation mode can be adjusted according to the temperature, thereby realizing the temperature control and the humidity control. Therefore, if the current humidity value in the current temperature and humidity values is larger than the humidity upper limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the first mode is adopted to adjust the operation mode of the air conditioner until the current humidity value is within the humidity range; and if the current humidity value is smaller than or equal to the upper limit value of the humidity, adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner by adopting a second mode until the obtained current temperature and humidity value is matched with the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

Or, the temperature is compared firstly, if the temperature is in the temperature range, the operation mode of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the temperature until the current temperature value is in the temperature range, otherwise, the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the humidity. Therefore, if the current temperature value is not in the temperature range of the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the third mode is adopted to adjust the operation mode of the air conditioner until the current temperature value is in the temperature range; otherwise, the fourth mode is adopted, and the operation mode of the air conditioner is adjusted.

In the mode of firstly comparing the humidity, if the current humidity value in the current temperature and humidity values is larger than the upper limit value of the humidity in the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the first mode can be adopted to adjust the operation mode of the air conditioner until the current humidity value is within the humidity range. The method specifically comprises the following steps: according to the current humidity value, the air conditioner is adjusted to a dehumidification mode to operate until the current humidity value is within the humidity range, wherein the dehumidification mode comprises the following steps: the system comprises a refrigeration working mode and a compressor first frequency operation mode, wherein the first frequency is greater than a set frequency; alternatively, the dehumidification mode includes: the refrigeration working mode, the compressor first frequency operation mode and the flow of the expansion valve are less than a first set flow.

Under air conditioner refrigeration mode of operation, the compressor high frequency operation, the first frequency of compressor mode of operation promptly, first frequency is greater than the frequency of setting for, and at this moment, the indoor unit coil pipe temperature of air conditioner can be lower, generally can be less than air dew point temperature, and like this, vapor in the air can constantly be condensed and get off to, the air humidity of air conditioner effect region can reduce, thereby reaches the effect of dehumidification.

Therefore, the acquired current humidity value can be compared with the humidity upper limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, if the current humidity value is larger than the humidity upper limit value of the humidity range, the air conditioner is adjusted to the dehumidification mode to operate, at the moment, the air conditioner is in the refrigeration working mode, the compressor is in the first frequency operation mode, the flow of an expansion valve in the air conditioning system can be reduced, and therefore the dehumidification speed is further increased. The obtained current humidity value can be regularly compared with the upper limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range until the current humidity value is less than or equal to the upper limit value of the humidity.

And when the current humidity value is smaller than or equal to the upper limit value of the humidity, the second mode is adopted to adjust the operation mode of the air conditioner until the obtained current temperature and humidity value is matched with the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

The method specifically comprises the following steps: if the current temperature value is larger than the temperature upper limit value of the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the air conditioner is adjusted to a cooling mode to operate, wherein the cooling mode comprises the following steps: the compressor comprises a refrigeration working mode and a compressor second frequency operation mode, wherein the second frequency is less than the set frequency; if the current temperature value is smaller than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the air conditioner is adjusted to a heating mode to operate, wherein the heating mode comprises the following steps: a first heating-up mode or a second heating-up mode, wherein the first heating-up mode comprises a heating operation mode and a compressor first-frequency operation mode, or an electric heating mode, and the second heating-up mode comprises a heating operation mode and a compressor second-frequency operation mode, or an electric heating mode; and if the current temperature value is in the temperature range and the current humidity value is smaller than the limit value under the humidity of the humidity range, adjusting the air conditioner to a cooling mode for operation until the current temperature value is matched with the limit value under the temperature of the temperature range.

Under air conditioner refrigeration mode of operation, if the operation of compressor low frequency, compressor second frequency operation mode promptly, the second frequency is less than the frequency of setting for, and at this moment, the indoor unit coil pipe temperature of air conditioner can be higher, generally can be higher than air dew point temperature, and like this, vapor in the air can not got off by the condensation to, reduced the regional temperature of air conditioner effect, can confirm for the cooling mode.

And under the air conditioner heating working mode, if the compressor is in the first frequency operation mode, the temperature of the air conditioning action area can be quickly increased, and the air conditioner can be determined to be in the first temperature increasing mode. In the air-conditioning heating working mode, if the compressor is in the second frequency running mode, the temperature of the air-conditioning acting area can be increased, meanwhile, the humidity of the acting area cannot be reduced, and the second temperature increasing mode can be determined.

At present, many air conditioners may have an electric heating function, and the temperature of an active area of the air conditioner may be increased by heat generated by heating through an electric heating wire, and therefore, the first temperature increasing mode may include not only a heating operation mode and a first frequency operation mode of a compressor, but also: an electric heating mode. Also, the second warming-up mode may include not only the heating operation mode and the compressor second frequency operation mode, but also: an electric heating mode.

Therefore, when the current humidity value is less than or equal to the upper limit value of humidity and the current temperature value is greater than the upper limit value of temperature in the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the air conditioner can operate in a cooling working mode and a second frequency operation mode of the compressor, namely the air conditioner is operated in a cooling mode, at the moment, the current temperature value in the action area can be reduced until the current temperature value is matched with the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

When the current humidity value is less than or equal to the upper humidity limit value and the current temperature value is less than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range, heating treatment is required, so that the air conditioner must be in a heating working mode. And for the current humidity value within the humidity range, a second heating mode which only changes the temperature and does not change the humidity can be adopted, namely the air conditioner is in a heating working mode, and the compressor is in a second frequency running mode. And when the current humidity value is smaller than the lower humidity limit value of the humidity range, a first temperature rising mode of rapid temperature rising is needed, namely, the air conditioner is in a heating working mode, and the compressor is in a first frequency running mode. Or, in another embodiment of the present invention, the temperature raising process directly adopts the electric heating mode, that is, when the current temperature value is smaller than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current target temperature and humidity range, the temperature raising process is performed by adopting the electric heating mode.

Of course, if the current temperature value is within the temperature range and the current humidity value is smaller than the lower humidity limit value of the humidity range, the air conditioner is adjusted to the cooling mode to operate until the current temperature value is matched with the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range. That is, the temperature of the coil of the internal machine is higher than the dew point temperature, and the humidity in the action area can not be further reduced. Generally, when the absolute difference between the current temperature value and the lower temperature limit value is equal to a set value, it can be determined that the current temperature value matches the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range. For example: if the lower temperature limit is 22 °, then 23 ° may be set to match the lower temperature limit of the temperature range, such that if the current temperature value is within the temperature range and the current humidity value is less than the lower humidity limit of the humidity range, the current temperature value is reduced to 23 °.

In an embodiment of the invention, in a mode of firstly comparing temperatures, a current temperature value in a current temperature and humidity value is not in a temperature range of a current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, a third mode is adopted to adjust an operation mode of the air conditioner until the current temperature value is in the temperature range; otherwise, the fourth mode is adopted, and the operation mode of the air conditioner is adjusted.

Adopting the third mode, adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner may specifically include: when the current temperature value is larger than the temperature upper limit value of the temperature range, the air conditioner is adjusted to a dehumidification mode to operate, wherein the dehumidification mode comprises the following steps: the refrigeration working mode and the compressor first frequency operation mode, the first frequency is greater than the set frequency, or, the dehumidification mode includes: the refrigeration working mode, the compressor first frequency running mode and the flow of the expansion valve are less than a first set flow; and when the current temperature value is smaller than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range, adjusting the air conditioner to a first heating mode for operation, wherein the first heating mode comprises a heating operation mode and a first frequency operation mode of the compressor, or an electric heating mode.

Under air conditioner refrigeration mode of operation, the compressor high frequency operation, the first frequency of compressor operation mode promptly, first frequency is greater than the settlement frequency, and at this moment, the indoor set coil pipe temperature of air conditioner can be lower, generally can be less than air dew point temperature, like this, the regional temperature of air conditioner effect of comparatively fast reduction.

Therefore, the acquired current temperature value can be compared with the temperature upper limit value of the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, if the current temperature value is larger than the temperature upper limit value of the temperature range, the air conditioner is adjusted to the dehumidification mode to operate, at the moment, the air conditioner is in the refrigeration working mode, the compressor is in the first frequency operation mode, the flow of an expansion valve in the air conditioning system can be reduced, and therefore the cooling speed is further accelerated. The obtained current temperature value can be regularly compared with the upper temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range until the current temperature value is less than or equal to the upper temperature limit value.

And under the air conditioner heating working mode, if the compressor is in the first frequency operation mode, the temperature of the air conditioning action area can be quickly increased, and the air conditioner can be determined to be in the first temperature increasing mode.

Therefore, the acquired current temperature value can be compared with the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, if the current temperature value is smaller than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range, the air conditioner is adjusted to a first heating mode to operate, at the moment, the air conditioner is in a heating working mode, and the compressor is in a first frequency operation mode, so that the heating speed is further accelerated. The obtained current temperature value can be regularly compared with the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range until the current temperature value is greater than or equal to the upper temperature limit value.

For the air conditioner with the electric heating function, the first warming mode may include not only a heating operation mode and a compressor first frequency operation mode, but also: an electric heating mode. Therefore, if the current temperature value is smaller than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range, the air conditioner can be adjusted to the electric heating mode to operate in the first heating mode, and the temperature of the air conditioner action area can be increased rapidly.

And adopting the fourth mode, adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner may specifically include: if the current humidity value is greater than the humidity upper limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the air conditioner is adjusted to a dehumidification mode to operate, wherein the dehumidification mode comprises the following steps: the refrigeration working mode and the compressor first frequency operation mode, the first frequency is greater than the set frequency, or, the dehumidification mode includes: the refrigeration working mode, the compressor first frequency running mode and the flow of the expansion valve are less than a first set flow; and if the current humidity value is smaller than the limit value under the humidity of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, adjusting the air conditioner to a second heating mode for operation, wherein the second heating mode comprises: a heating operation mode and a compressor second frequency operation mode, wherein the second frequency is less than the set frequency, or an electric heating mode.

Under air conditioner refrigeration mode of operation, the compressor high frequency operation, the first frequency operation mode of compressor promptly, at this moment, the indoor unit coil pipe temperature of air conditioner can be lower, generally can be less than air dew point temperature, like this, the steam in the air can be condensed to, can reduce the humidity of air conditioner effect region. Similarly, the flow rate of the expansion valve can be adjusted to be smaller than the first set flow rate, so that the dehumidification speed can be further improved.

Therefore, if the current humidity value is greater than the limit value on the humidity, the air conditioner can be adjusted to the dehumidification mode to operate, at the moment, the air conditioner is in the refrigeration mode, the compressor operates at high frequency, the temperature of an inner machine coil pipe of the air conditioner is lower than the dew point temperature of the air, therefore, the water vapor in the air can be condensed, and the humidity of an air conditioning action area can be reduced. When the air conditioning control process is completed, the process may return to step 201 to start the next air conditioning control process.

In the air-conditioning heating working mode, if the compressor is in the second frequency running mode, the second frequency is lower and generally lower than the set frequency, and the temperature of an inner machine coil of the air conditioner is higher than the dew point temperature of air, so that water vapor in the air cannot be condensed, and at the moment, the humidity of an air-conditioning acting area can be adjusted.

Therefore, when the current humidity value is smaller than the lower humidity limit value, the air conditioner can be operated in the second heating mode, namely the air conditioner is in the heating operation mode, and the compressor is operated in the second frequency operation mode, so that the humidity of the action area of the air conditioner can be adjusted. Or, for the air conditioner with the electric heating function, the electric heating mode can be directly adopted to carry out the operation of the second heating mode, and the temperature of the action area of the air conditioner can also be adjusted. That is, the second warming mode may include not only: a heating working mode and a compressor second frequency operation mode; an electrical heating mode may also be included.

When the air conditioning control process is completed, the process may return to step 201 to start the next air conditioning control process.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the temperature of the air conditioning action area can be adjusted to be within the comfortable target temperature and humidity range by adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner, and the humidity of the air conditioning action area can also be adjusted, so that the temperature control effect of the air conditioner is ensured, and the function of controlling the humidity of the air conditioner is also added. In addition, in the air conditioner refrigeration working mode, the humidity in the action area is controlled by controlling the temperature of the internal coil, so that the user experience is improved, particularly the user experience in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

The following operational flows are grouped into specific embodiments to illustrate the methods provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Here, the current target temperature and humidity range corresponding to the current preset temperature of the air conditioner may be determined according to the correspondence relationship shown in table 1. For example, when the current preset temperature of the air conditioner is 28 °, the corresponding current target temperature range may be 26-29 ° and the humidity may be 30% -60%.

Meanwhile, the environmental information where the air conditioner is located includes: southern areas with hot humid conditions, and summer, therefore, the temperature and humidity range of bacterial activity can be determined. And an overlapping temperature and humidity range between the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range and the bacteria activity temperature and humidity range can be obtained, so that the temperature and humidity range which does not include the overlapping temperature and humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range can be determined as the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range. After the current comfortable target control temperature and humidity range is determined, the air conditioner can be controlled.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method according to an exemplary embodiment, where as shown in fig. 3, the air conditioning control process includes:

step 301: and acquiring the current temperature and humidity value of the air conditioning action area.

The current temperature value can be obtained through a temperature sensor in the air conditioner, and the current humidity value can be obtained through a humidity sensor in the air conditioner.

Step 302: determine whether the current humidity value of the current temperature and humidity values is greater than the upper humidity limit value of the humidity range of the current comfort target temperature and humidity range? If yes, go to step 303, otherwise go to step 305.

Step 303: and adjusting the air conditioner to a dehumidification mode for operation.

Here, the adjusting of the operation mode of the air conditioner using the first mode may specifically use a dehumidification mode, and may include: the refrigeration working mode, the compressor first frequency operation mode and the flow of the expansion valve are less than a first set flow.

Step 304: determine whether the set sampling time has been reached? If yes, return to step 301, otherwise, continue to wait.

Step 305: and adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner by adopting a second mode until the obtained current temperature and humidity value is matched with the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of adjusting an operation mode of an air conditioner using a second mode according to an exemplary embodiment, where the process of adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner, as shown in fig. 4, includes:

step 401: is the current temperature value determined to be greater than the upper temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range? If yes, go to step 402, otherwise go to step 403.

Step 402: adjust the air conditioner to the cooling mode and operate, wherein, the cooling mode includes: a cooling mode of operation and a compressor second frequency mode of operation. Returning to the step 301.

Here, the current humidity value is less than or equal to the humidity upper limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, therefore, only cooling is needed without dehumidification, and therefore, the compressor second frequency operation mode is generally a low-frequency operation mode, so that the temperature of an indoor unit coil of the air conditioner is also greater than the air dew point temperature in the refrigeration operation mode, and the humidity can not be further reduced while cooling.

Step 403: is the current temperature value less than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range determined? If yes, go to step 404, otherwise, go to step 405.

Step 404: the air conditioner is adjusted to the heating mode to operate, and the process returns to step 301.

Because the current temperature value is smaller than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range, the air conditioner needs to be in a heating working mode. In this way, the current temperature value may be increased. Alternatively, the current temperature value may be increased using the electric heating mode.

Preferably, for the heating operation mode, the operation frequency of the compressor in the air conditioner can be further adjusted. Because the current humidity value is only smaller than or equal to the upper limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the working frequency of the compressor in the air conditioner can be further adjusted in one step according to the current humidity value. When the current humidity value is smaller than the limit value under the humidity of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the temperature needs to be raised quickly, the air conditioner can be operated in a first heating mode, namely, the air conditioner is in a heating working mode and a first frequency operation mode of the compressor, and the air conditioner can be operated in a second heating mode when the current humidity value is in the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, so that the air conditioner is in the heating working mode and the second frequency operation mode of the compressor.

Step 405: is it determined whether the current humidity value is less than the lower limit value of humidity in the humidity range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range? If yes, go to step 406, otherwise, end the process.

Here, since the current temperature value is less than or equal to the upper limit value of the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range and is greater than or equal to the lower limit value of the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range, that is, the current temperature value is already within the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range, at this time, the adjustment of the air-conditioner operation mode may be ended.

However, since the current humidity value is only less than or equal to the upper limit value of the humidity in the humidity range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range, the humidity is too low, and the humidity can be further adjusted by adjusting the air conditioner operation mode. Therefore, preferably, in this step, if the current humidity value is greater than or equal to the humidity lower limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the current humidity value is also within the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, then the current temperature and humidity are matched with the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, and the process is ended. And when the current temperature value is within the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range and the current humidity value is smaller than the lower humidity limit value of the humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the operation mode of the air conditioner can be further adjusted, and step 406 is executed.

Step 406: and adjusting the air conditioner to a cooling mode for operation.

Here, the air conditioner can be in a cooling operation mode and a compressor second frequency operation mode, so that the temperature of an inner machine coil of the air conditioner is also larger than the dew point temperature of air.

Step 407: obtain the current temperature value, and determine whether the current temperature value matches the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range? If yes, the process ends, otherwise, the process returns to step 406.

In the embodiment of the invention, the current temperature value is required to be ensured to be within the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, so that the limit value under the temperature of the temperature range can be adjusted as a limit, or the limit value under the temperature plus the set value can be adjusted as a limit. For example: and if the current temperature value is equal to the lower-temperature limit value +0.5 degrees, determining that the current temperature value is matched with the lower-temperature limit value of the temperature range and cannot be cooled, ending the process, and if the current temperature value is greater than the lower-temperature limit value +0.5 degrees, continuously cooling and returning to the step 406.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, after having confirmed the comfortable target humiture scope that corresponds with preset temperature according to the comfortable grade of body sense and the environmental information that the air conditioner is located, the operational mode of accessible adjustment air conditioner is adjusted the temperature and the humidity of air conditioner effect region to and is matchd with comfortable target humiture scope, like this, has guaranteed the effect of air conditioner control by temperature change promptly, has still increased the function of air conditioner humidity control.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioner control method according to an exemplary embodiment, where a current target temperature and humidity range corresponding to a current preset temperature of an air conditioner may be determined according to the correspondence relationship shown in table 1. For example, when the current preset temperature of the air conditioner is 28 °, the corresponding current target temperature range may be 26-29 ° and the humidity may be 30% -60%.

Meanwhile, the environmental information where the air conditioner is located includes: cold dry northern areas, and winter, therefore, the active temperature and humidity range of bacteria can be determined. And an overlapping temperature and humidity range between the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range and the bacteria activity temperature and humidity range can be obtained, so that the temperature and humidity range which does not include the overlapping temperature and humidity range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range can be determined as the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range.

After the current comfortable target control temperature and humidity range is determined, the air conditioner can be controlled. As shown in fig. 5, the process of the air conditioning control includes:

step 501: and acquiring the current temperature and humidity value of the air conditioning action area.

Step 502: is it determined whether the current temperature value of the current temperature and humidity values is greater than the upper temperature limit value of the temperature range of the current comfort target temperature and humidity range? If yes, go to step 503, otherwise, go to step 505.

Step 503: and adjusting the air conditioner to a dehumidification mode for operation.

Here, the dehumidification mode in the third mode is adopted, including: the refrigeration working mode, the compressor first frequency operation mode and the flow of the expansion valve are less than a first set flow.

Step 504: determine whether the set sampling time has been reached? If yes, return to step 501, otherwise, continue to wait.

Step 505: is the current temperature value less than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range determined? If yes, go to step 506, otherwise go to step 508.

Step 506: and adjusting the air conditioner to a first temperature rising mode for operation.

Here, the first warm-up mode in the third mode may include a heating operation mode and a compressor first frequency operation mode. Alternatively, the direct use of the electrical heating mode may be included.

Step 507: determine whether the set sampling time has been reached? If yes, return to step 501, otherwise, continue to wait.

Step 508: and adopting a fourth mode to adjust the operation mode of the air conditioner.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of adjusting an operation mode of an air conditioner using a fourth mode according to an exemplary embodiment, where the process of adjusting the operation mode of the air conditioner, as shown in fig. 6, includes:

step 601: is it determined whether the current humidity value is greater than the upper limit value of humidity in the humidity range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range? If yes, go to step 602, otherwise, go to step 603.

Step 602: and adjusting the air conditioner to a dehumidification mode for operation. Returning to step 501.

Here, the dehumidification mode in the fourth mode may be adopted and may include: a refrigeration working mode and a compressor first frequency operation mode.

Step 603: is the current humidity value less than the lower humidity limit value of the humidity range in the current comfort target temperature and humidity range determined? If yes, go to step 604, otherwise, the process ends.

Step 604: the air conditioner is adjusted to the second heating mode to operate, and the process returns to step 501.

The second temperature increasing mode in the fourth mode is adopted. Because the current temperature value is smaller than the lower temperature limit value of the temperature range in the current comfortable target temperature and humidity range, the air conditioner is in the heating working mode, and the compressor is in the second frequency operation mode, so that the temperature of an inner machine coil of the air conditioner is higher than the dew point temperature of air, and therefore water vapor in the air cannot be condensed, at the moment, the humidity of an air conditioning action area can be adjusted, and the step 501 is returned. Alternatively, the second heating-up mode may employ an electric heating mode, and the temperature of the region of action may also be increased.
