and when the obstacle in the air supply area is removed, stopping the alarm device from sending alarm information.
Referring to fig. 2, a first embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner control method including:
step S10, when receiving the warning instruction sent by the control end, starting a preset sensor;
specifically, a user can send a warning instruction to the air conditioner through a controller (including a remote controller, a mobile terminal and the like), the air conditioner enters a warning mode after receiving the warning instruction, and the infrared sensor is started to detect the preset area.
Step S20, detecting obstacles in the air supply area of the air conditioner through a preset sensor on the air conditioner;
specifically, after receiving a warning command sent by a controller, the air conditioner needs to acquire a target area for adjustment (i.e. an area where an obstacle is located), and the present invention adds a reflective infrared sensor (hereinafter referred to as an infrared sensor) to the air conditioner to detect the obstacle, where the infrared sensor has a structure as shown in fig. 4, and the sensor includes a: infrared decorative cover, B: rubber pad, C: fixed bolster, D: transmitter and receiver, F: the rear cover is connected with the air conditioner body, and the infrared decorative cover is located on the outermost side. The infrared decorative cover is used for comprehensively wrapping and decorating the whole structure of the sensor; the rubber pad is characterized in that the bracket and the decorative cover can be combined more tightly without gaps; the fixed bracket is used for shielding infrared light; the transmitter and the receiver are used for transmitting infrared signals and receiving reflected effective signals. The reflecting infrared sensor has infrared emitter and receiver set inside one same device, one reflecting board in the front, and one photoelectric sensor with photoelectric control function based on the reflecting principle.
In step S30, when it is detected that an obstacle is present in the air-blowing area, warning information is issued by an alarm device of the air conditioner.
Specifically, when the infrared sensor detects that an obstacle exists in the range area, the obstacle (including a person or an object) exists in the air supply area of the air conditioner, and in order to avoid discomfort (people) or other damages (objects) caused by the fact that cold air of the air conditioner directly supplies air to the obstacle for a long time, the air conditioner sends out alarm information through the alarm device to remind a user.
The air conditioner is one of the most commonly used household appliances in daily life, and particularly in hot summer, people often expect that the air conditioner can give people a cool experience in an air-conditioned room, but the air conditioner can cause certain adverse effects even if the air conditioner is not used properly or carelessly, for example, people can cause diseases such as cold and the like in an air-conditioned air supply area for a long time.
Therefore need control the air conditioner and detect the air supply region, when making when the air conditioner air-out regional in someone or barrier such as thing, the air conditioner can be through detecting this condition of quick discovery, and remind the user through the alarm device of installation in the air conditioner, for example child plays in the air conditioner air supply region, the adult does not perceive, at this moment the air conditioner then can send out the sound through bee calling organ, remind the user to take child from the air supply region of air conditioner, the cold wind of avoiding the air conditioner causes the health discomfort to child. In addition, the alarm device can also carry out various novel alarms in a mode of sending prompt messages and the like through an intelligent terminal connected with the air conditioner.
The problem that the invention needs to be ended is that how to accurately detect whether the air supply area of the air conditioner has the obstacle, and the air conditioner control method of the invention solves the problem by adding an infrared detection device. Firstly, a reflective infrared sensor is added in the air conditioner, the reflective infrared sensor is an infrared sensor integrating emission and collection, whether obstacles exist in an emission area can be judged according to the intensity of reflected infrared rays, and the air conditioner has the advantages of small volume, high precision, simplicity and convenience in installation and the like. In addition, the two infrared sensors are installed, the two infrared sensors are arranged, the monitoring areas of the two infrared sensors are partially overlapped, the overlapped area is away from the air conditioner by a certain distance and is not too far away, the schematic diagram of the overlapped area is shown in figure 5, the installation parameters of the infrared sensors can be adjusted to adjust the detected effective area to a certain degree, and the schematic diagram of the sensors is adjusted to be shown in figure 6. And the overlapping area of the two infrared sensors is smaller than the monitoring area of the single infrared sensor, but the obstacle in the overlapping area is greatly influenced by the wind of the air conditioner, so the effectiveness of the two infrared sensors is better.
Whether an obstacle exists in a target area is detected through the infrared sensor, when the obstacle is detected, the alarm device arranged in the air conditioner sends out alarm information to remind a user that the obstacle exists in an air supply area of the air conditioner, and the sensitivity of the infrared sensor is very high, so that the obstacle can be detected at the first time when entering the air supply area of the air conditioner, and the user is sent out an alarm to remind the user. For example, when a child plays in an air-conditioned room, the child inadvertently enters the air supply area of the air conditioner, and the child may catch a cold and other diseases when playing in the air supply area of the air conditioner for a long time due to low wind temperature and strong wind power in the air supply area of the air conditioner. However, the invention uses the infrared sensor to detect the air supply area of the air conditioner, can find the obstacles in the air supply area of the air conditioner at the first time and send out the alarm information.
The air conditioner control method of the invention detects whether the corresponding area has the obstacle by adding the infrared sensor in the air conditioner, and sends out the alarm information to remind the user by the alarm device when the obstacle is detected. The adverse effect caused by that cold air in the air supply area of the air conditioner is directly blown to people or objects for a long time is avoided. The safety of the user in using the air conditioner is improved, the user is easy to operate, and the air conditioner is low in cost and high in detection accuracy due to the fact that only the reflective infrared sensor is added.
Further, referring to fig. 3, step S20 includes, before detecting an obstacle in an air supply area of the air conditioner by a preset sensor on the air conditioner:
and step S21, installing sensors at the preset position of the air conditioner, wherein all the sensors are in the same horizontal position, and the number of the sensors is at least two.
Specifically, two infrared sensors are installed on the same horizontal line of a preset position, the detection range of the infrared sensor can be regarded as a fan shape, the plane where the infrared sensor is located is the plane where the fan shape is located, and the fact that the two infrared sensors are located on the same horizontal plane means that the fan shapes of the detection range of the two infrared sensors are located on the same horizontal plane. The position of the same horizontal line can enable the detection areas of the two infrared sensors (the two infrared sensors are the minimum number, and the number of the sensors can be adjusted according to practical application conditions) in the horizontal plane to overlap, and the overlapping area is the target area.
Because there are 2 infrared ray sensors, and the detection range of every infrared ray sensor is different but overlap, the detection area of single infrared ray sensor is a fan-shaped and detection range is bigger, and the distance can be detected from near to far. If use single infrared ray sensor to detect, then the barrier that is close apart from the air conditioner also can be detected, but when the barrier was close apart from the air conditioner, the air conditioner concentrated or the effect of dispersion exhaust through adjusting the wind-guiding strip will reduce (the wind-guiding strip need certain distance to the control of air-out direction just can embody the effect, if it is very close apart from, for example hug closely the air outlet, then the control effect of wind-guiding strip to the air-out direction is basically zero, and along with the increase of distance, the effect embodies gradually). So that obstacles in close proximity can be ignored. And two (or more) infrared sensors are arranged on the same horizontal plane, so that an overlapping area of the detection areas of the infrared sensors can be manufactured, an effective detection area formed by the overlapping area has a certain distance from the air conditioner, effective signals cannot be generated due to obstacles with too close distances, the target area is mainly concentrated in front of the air conditioner, the front of the air conditioner is the main direction of air outlet, and the air outlet of the area is greatly influenced by the adjustment of the air guide strips.
Through setting up two infrared ray sensor at same horizontal plane, can more effectually detect the barrier at air conditioner air-out influence scope to infrared ray sensor's is with low costs, simple to operate can not cause too big influence to the overall structure of air conditioner yet.
Further, the step S20 of detecting obstacles in the air supply area of the air conditioner through a preset sensor on the air conditioner includes:
step S22, setting an overlapping area of the detection range of the sensor as a target area, wherein the target area is in an air conditioning air supply area;
specifically, the two infrared sensors are installed on the same horizontal plane and are both oriented towards the direction of the air supply area of the air conditioner, so that an overlapping area is formed in the air supply area of the air conditioner by the two infrared sensors, and an obstacle in the overlapping area can be detected by the two infrared sensors at the same time. The size and position of the overlapping area can be changed by adjusting parameters such as the installation position of the infrared sensor.
Step S23, determining whether there is an obstacle in the target area based on the reception state of the effective signal reflected by the sensor to the obstacle in the target area.
Specifically, when an obstacle exists in the target area, both the two infrared sensors receive an effective signal fed back by the obstacle, so that the existence of the obstacle in the target area is determined, otherwise, if the effective signal is not received by any sensor, it is indicated that no obstacle exists in the target area.
By arranging the two infrared sensors, an overlapping area of the detection range of the infrared sensors can be obtained, and the overlapping area is a target area. And because the infrared sensor needs to be installed at a specific position when being installed, so that the target area is located in the air supply area of the air conditioner (for example, two infrared sensors are symmetrically installed at two sides of the air supply area, so that the target area is located in the air supply area). And the infrared sensor can adjust parameters such as installation angle and the like within a certain range, so that the position of the overlapping area can be adjusted (a schematic diagram is shown in fig. 5).
Since the target area is an overlapping area of the detection ranges of the two sensors, the two infrared sensors can detect whether an obstacle exists in the target area, that is, whether both infrared sensors receive a valid signal. Therefore, by setting the overlapping area of the detection ranges of the infrared sensor as the target area, whether an obstacle exists in the target area can be effectively detected.
Further, referring to fig. 3, the step of determining whether there is an obstacle in the target area by whether the sensor receives the valid signal in step S23 includes:
step S24, if all sensors are detected to receive effective signals reflected by the obstacles, judging that the obstacles exist in the target area;
specifically, after the infrared sensor transmits an infrared signal, if the signal meets an obstacle, the signal is transmitted, and a receiving device of the infrared sensor can receive a reflected effective signal. And when the infrared sensors receive the effective signals, detecting whether the other infrared sensors also detect the effective signals, and if all the infrared sensors detect the effective signals, judging that the target area has the obstacle. Since the target area is an overlapping portion of the detection areas of the two infrared sensors, all the infrared sensors detect a valid signal if there is an obstacle in the target area.
In step S25, if it is detected that all of the partial sensors receive the effective signal reflected by the obstacle, it is determined that no obstacle exists in the target area.
Specifically, when the infrared sensors receive the effective signals, whether all the infrared sensors detect the effective signals is detected, and if not, it is determined that no obstacle exists in the target area
The invention detects whether an area has an obstacle or not through a sensor, wherein the sensor is an infrared sensor and is in a preset plane. The plane is arranged on a plane with frequent human activities, for example, the height is 1m, so that most human activities and common obstacles (common obstacles in life such as tables and chairs) can be detected. When an obstacle exists in the monitoring area of the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor can receive an effective signal, and the effective detection area is the overlapping area of 2 infrared sensors, so that whether the obstacle exists in the effective detection area can be judged only by detecting whether two infrared sensors detect the effective signal.
Since the target area is an overlapping portion of the detection areas of the two infrared sensors, both infrared sensors receive valid signals when there is an obstacle in the target area. Correspondingly, if one infrared sensor does not receive the valid signal, the obstacle is not in the overlapping area of the two infrared sensors, and therefore is an invalid signal. Whether two infrared ray sensors receive effective signals or not is detected, and information whether obstacles exist in a target area or not can be accurately acquired.
Further, if it is detected that all the partial sensors receive the valid signal reflected by the obstacle, the step S25 includes, after determining that no obstacle exists in the target area:
in step S26, if it is determined that no obstacle is present in the target area, the mounting parameters of the sensor are adjusted to change the covering position of the target area, and the detection of whether or not an obstacle is present in a new target area is repeated based on the sensor.
Specifically, after the target area is judged to be free of the obstacle, the target area can be changed by adjusting parameters such as the installation angle of the infrared sensor, so that the target area is moved, increased or decreased, and whether the obstacle exists in the air supply area of the air conditioner or not can be better detected.
After a user sends an alarm instruction to the air conditioner through the controller, the infrared sensor starts to detect, the detection is a continuous process, the transmitting device of the infrared sensor sends infrared rays, the receiving device receives reflected infrared signals, and whether obstacles exist in the detection area or not is judged according to the received signals. If the air conditioner does not receive the alarm instruction, the infrared sensor does not perform detection operation, so that power consumption can be saved. When only one infrared sensor detects a valid signal after the air conditioner receives the warning instruction, since the condition is invalid (since the valid area is the overlapping part of the detection ranges of the two infrared sensors, it is necessary that both infrared sensors detect the valid signal to be valid), the two infrared sensors will continue to detect, and the infrared sensors will end the detection unless the user actively cancels the warning instruction. And when the infrared sensors do not receive effective signals, all the infrared sensors continuously detect, and whether the obstacles exist in the target area is kept to be detected, so that the obstacles in the target area can be found in time.
Further, in step S26, the step of adjusting the installation parameters of the sensor to change the coverage position of the target area includes:
and S261, changing an included angle between the sensor and the air conditioner in the plane by adjusting the installation angle of the sensor, wherein the smaller the included angle is, the larger the covering position of the target area is, and the closer the distance between the target area and the air conditioner is.
Specifically, the included angle between the infrared sensor and the air conditioner is changed by adjusting the installation angle or other installation parameters of the infrared sensor. The direction of the transmitter and the receiver of the infrared sensor is the positive direction of the infrared sensor, the air conditioner is regarded as a regular graph, and the included angle between two lines of the normal of the horizontal direction of the air conditioner is virtualized to be the included angle between the infrared sensor and the air conditioner. The positive direction of the infrared sensor is initially in a perpendicular relationship with the air conditioner.
The two infrared sensors are initially perpendicular to the normal line of the air conditioner, and the target area (i.e. the overlapped part of the detection areas of the two infrared sensors) can be changed by adjusting the positive direction of the infrared sensors, and the smaller the included angle between the infrared sensors and the air conditioner is, the larger the target area is (as a schematic diagram is shown in fig. 7, alpha is the initial included angle between the infrared sensors and the air conditioner, and beta is the included angle between the infrared sensors and the air conditioner for adjustment and purchase). The infrared sensor and the air conditioner are adjusted to a certain degree, so that the target area can be adjusted, and the obstacle can be detected more comprehensively and flexibly.
Further, the step of issuing the alarm information through the alarm device of the air conditioner at step S30 includes:
step S31, the alarm device comprises a buzzer, and sound alarm information is output through the buzzer;
specifically, when the infrared sensor detects an obstacle, a buzzer in the air conditioner is controlled to send out sound alarm information to remind a user that the obstacle exists in an air supply area of the air conditioner.
The alarm device comprises a buzzer, an LED lamp and the like, and can correspondingly output alarm information of sound, light and shadow and the like. Under the condition that the air conditioner is connected with the intelligent terminal, prompt information can be sent to the intelligent terminal, and the situation that a user cannot perceive alarm information of the air conditioner in the first time and cannot timely process obstacles in an air supply area is avoided.
The alarm system of the invention is composed of common alarm devices, such as buzzers, LED lamps and the like, which are low in price, and the effective range of alarm information is large (the alarm information can be received generally in a home scene), so that the alarm system can effectively remind users.
Further, step S31, after the step of changing the air outlet direction of the air conditioner by adjusting the air guide strip, further includes:
in step S32, when it is detected that the obstacle in the wind blowing area is removed, the alarm device stops generating the alarm information.
Specifically, the detection by the infrared sensor is performed in real time, and the detection is continued even after the presence of the obstacle is detected. If the removal of the obstacle is detected (no obstacle is detected), the alarm does not need to be sent out any more, and therefore the alarm device is controlled to stop sending out the alarm information.
After the infrared sensor detects the obstacle, the alarm device is controlled to send out alarm information, and the detection of the area is continued. And when the obstacle is detected to be removed (moved or moved out of the air supply area of the air conditioner), the alarm device is controlled to stop sending the alarm information, so that the influence of the alarm information on the normal use of the air conditioner by a user is avoided. Since the alarm information sent by the alarm device is used for reminding the user in special situations, the alarm information needs to be quickly perceived, the normal use and comfort of the user cannot be considered, for example, a buzzer can send obvious noise, and an LED lamp can send dazzling light. Therefore, the alarm information should be turned off at the first time when the alarm information is not needed, and the situation that the alarm information needs to be turned off when the obstacle is removed is the situation, so that the alarm device is controlled to stop giving the alarm when the obstacle is detected to be removed. Whether the alarm device continuously sends out alarm information is controlled by detecting whether the barrier is removed, and the influence of the alarm information on a user in use can be effectively reduced.
The invention also provides a mobile terminal with the air conditioner control method.
The mobile terminal based on the air conditioner control method comprises the following steps: the air conditioner control method comprises a memory, a processor and an air conditioner control program stored on the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein the air conditioner control program realizes the steps of the air conditioner control method when being executed by the processor.
