Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a configuration method of an air conditioner according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the air conditioner configuration method includes the following steps:
step S100, the remote controller control chip is powered on for the first time, and a first timer in the remote controller control chip starts timing. It should be noted that the remote controller defined in the present invention may be an infrared remote controller with a numeric keypad, or may be another intelligent terminal capable of displaying a virtual numeric keypad. The remote controller and the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner establish communication and are used for controlling the action of the air conditioner. The first timer provided in the remote control chip may be a clock circuit configured to the control chip itself. After the remote controller control chip is electrified, the first timer starts to time, and the timing time of the first timer is defined as t1。
And step S101, the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is electrified for the first time, and a second timer in the control chip of the indoor unit starts timing. It should be noted that the second timer provided in the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner may be a clock circuit of the control chip itself. After the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is powered on, the second timer starts to time, and the timing time of the second timer is defined as t2。
Step S102, determining whether the timing time of the first timer is less than a first time setting value, and whether the timing time of the second timer is less than a second time setting value. In particular toIn other words, the first time period setting value is defined as T1Defining the second duration setting value as T2. First time length set value T1The second time length set value T is stored in a storage unit of the control chip of the remote controller2Stored in the memory unit of the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The remote controller control chip and the air conditioner indoor unit control chip respectively judge t1And T1And t2And T2The relationship between them.
Step S103, when t is reached1<T1And t is2<T2And when the remote controller is in the activated state, the activation key arranged on the remote controller acts to enable the remote controller to enter the activated state. If t is1≥T1,Or t2≥T2When the air conditioner is in use, the indoor unit of the air conditioner only receives the remote control coding and decoding program set in the factory, and the activation key is disabled. More specifically, when t is1<T1And t is2<T2When the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner responds to the external interruption generated by the activated key, when t1≥T1,Or t2≥T2When the air conditioner indoor unit is started, the control chip of the air conditioner indoor unit shields the external interruption generated by the activation key.
Step S104, in the activated state, setting key action arranged on the remote controller; the remote controller control chip outputs corresponding setting signals to the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the accumulated times of the setting key actions.
And step S105, after the indoor unit control chip receives the setting signal, analyzing the setting signal and generating a compensation control mode according to the analyzed setting signal, wherein the air conditioner works in the compensation mode.
In the invention, the compensation mode of the air conditioner can be the adjustment of the set working mode of the air conditioner when the air conditioner leaves the factory, or the reduction of the set working mode of the air conditioner when the air conditioner leaves the factory, or the customized adjustment of the inherent set parameters of the air conditioner when the air conditioner leaves the factory, so that the performance of the air conditioner is closer to the use requirement of a user.
Referring to fig. 2 to 5, the operation of the air conditioner configuration method in the activated state will be described in detail.
In general, a reference service time is set in a control chip of an indoor unit of an air conditioner before the air conditioner is shipped from a factory. The reference service time has the effect that after the air conditioner runs for the corresponding time, the air conditioner can automatically prompt a user to clean partial components, particularly a filter screen and the like, and the performance of the filter screen is kept good. Typically, this reference age is written before the factory and cannot be modified. However, if the air quality of the air conditioner using environment is good, the filter screen does not reach the state needing to be cleaned every time the air conditioner is reminded, and a user considers that the program intelligence of the air conditioner is poor and abandons the use of the function. Similarly, if the air quality of the air conditioner using environment is poor, the relative cleanliness of the filter screen is very poor when reminding each time, and a user needs to spend more energy for cleaning and cannot achieve an ideal cleaning effect.
To solve this problem, as shown in step S202 in fig. 2, in the activated state, the setting button is operated according to the air quality parameter of the current usage environment. For example, the parameter for determining the level of the air quality parameter of the current use environment may be a PM2.5 parameter, and may also be a PM10 or the like. PM2.5 concentration can be obtained through PM2.5 concentration sensor detection that sets up on the air conditioner indoor set, also can obtain through remote communication through the PM2.5 concentration sensor of setting on air purifier of server or indoor linkage.

PM2.5<35ppm

|

|

|
4 months old
|
125ppm<PM2.5<175ppm
|
2 months old
|
PM2.5>75ppm

And the remote controller control chip or the air conditioner indoor unit control chip calls the ideal service time corresponding to the current air quality parameter grade according to the air quality parameter grade in the current service environment, and calculates the difference action between the ideal service time corresponding to the air quality parameter grade of the current service environment and the reference service time. For example, if the reference time of use is 4 months and the current PM2.5 is less than 35ppm, the difference between the ideal time of use and the reference time of use is 4 months, and thus, 4 key actions are set.
In step S203, the remote control chip outputs a cleaning setting signal to the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the accumulated times of the setting key actions. As an example of step S202, the remote controller control chip outputs a coded signal representing +4 to the air conditioner indoor unit control chip. Note that, in general, the cleaning setting signal includes a sign bit. The sign bit can be embodied by the corresponding key position of the set key.
In step S204, the indoor unit control chip receives the cleaning setting signal and generates a cleaning compensation mode according to the setting signal. And under the cleaning compensation control mode, the indoor unit control chip generates a cleaning compensation control mode according to the cleaning setting signal and the cleaning setting signal. And in the cleaning compensation control mode, the indoor unit control chip calls the set running time and the reference service time corresponding to the cleaning setting signal according to the cleaning setting signal. And meanwhile, controlling the running time timer to start working, and generating a cleaning reminding signal when the timing signal of the running time timer is more than or equal to the sum of the set running time corresponding to the cleaning setting signal and the reference service time. As in the previous example, the reference time of use code is also +4 at the air conditioner indoor unit control chip side. After receiving the cleaning setting signal, one end of the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner generates a cleaning compensation control mode, the running time timer starts to work, and a cleaning reminding signal is generated after the running time reaches (+ 4) + (+ 4). When coding, a more preferable mode is to make a uniform coding rule, which is a unit of time length, such as month and day coding, to improve the control precision.
For most air conditioners, before the air conditioner leaves a factory, a plurality of function keys, such as a cooling mode, a heating mode, a dehumidification mode, a mute mode, a sleep mode, an energy-saving mode and the like, are set on a remote controller, so that the air conditioner is convenient for users to use. In fact, the use habit of some users is that only the cooling mode is used in summer, only the heating mode is used in winter, and many intelligent modes are in an idle state. For some families with only old people or children, the whole operation mode is more hopeful to be simple. If misoperation of the functional mode occurs, children or old people may not be able to reset quickly, causing unnecessary loss.
In order to solve this problem, in the present invention, as shown in step S302 of fig. 3, in the activated state, the setting key is operated according to the difference between the current operation mode setting code and the target operation mode setting code. For example, if the air conditioner is turned on, the default current operating mode is the cooling mode, the default setting code of the cooling mode is 0, the target operating mode required by the user is the heating mode, and the default setting code of the heating mode is 5, the setting button acts for 5 times according to the difference between the default operating mode and the heating mode.
In step S303, the remote controller control chip outputs a working mode setting signal to the air conditioner indoor unit control chip according to the accumulated times of the set key actions. In step S302, for example, the remote controller control chip outputs a code representing that the target operation mode is the heating mode to the air conditioner indoor unit control chip.
In step S304, at one end of the indoor unit control chip, the indoor unit control chip receives the working mode setting signal and generates the function compensation mode according to the working mode setting signal. In the function compensation control mode, the air conditioner operation mode other than the target operation mode is disabled. As an example of the above steps, the indoor unit control chip receives the operation mode setting signal representing the heating mode and disables the operation mode of the air conditioner other than the heating mode, and controls the air conditioner not to respond to the other mode control signal.
A conventional air conditioner is factory-set with a set temperature adjustment range, typically 16 to 32 ℃. This is a wide range, and taking the cooling mode as an example, the user can adjust the set temperature to 26 ℃ which is good for human comfort and energy saving performance, and also can adjust the set temperature to 17 ℃. It will be appreciated that in a domestic environment, 17 ℃ is not a comfortable setting temperature for a person. The air conditioner manufacturer cannot adjust the interval according to the actual use experience of each family before leaving the factory.
To solve this problem, as shown in step S402 in fig. 4, in the activated state, the setting button is operated according to the difference between the current set upper temperature threshold and the target set upper temperature threshold, and/or the difference between the current set lower temperature threshold and the target set lower temperature threshold. For example, if the default upper threshold of the set temperature is 32 ℃, and the target upper threshold of the set temperature is 28 ℃, the set button is activated four times according to the difference +4 between the two. Or, the default set temperature lower limit threshold value, namely the current set temperature lower limit threshold value is 16 ℃, the target set temperature lower limit threshold value is 24 ℃, the set key is operated eight times according to the difference value between the two-8.
In step S403, the remote control chip outputs a temperature adjustment setting signal to the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the accumulated number of times of the setting key operations. Note that, in general, the temperature adjustment setting signal includes a sign bit. The sign bit can be embodied by the corresponding key position of the set key.
In step S404, the indoor unit control chip receives the temperature adjustment setting signal and generates a temperature adjustment compensation control mode according to the temperature adjustment setting signal. And in the temperature regulation compensation control mode, the set temperature upper limit threshold of the air conditioner is controlled to be the target set temperature upper limit threshold and/or the set temperature lower limit threshold of the air conditioner is controlled to be the target set temperature lower limit threshold. In the temperature adjustment compensation control mode, a user cannot set the set temperature to be higher than the target set temperature upper limit threshold or lower than the target set temperature lower limit threshold so as to meet the use requirement of accurate control.
The control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner stores a temperature compensation. This temperature compensation is set in consideration of the influence of the setting position of the ambient temperature sensor mounted on the air conditioner on the temperature detection accuracy. However, as with the parameter in the above embodiment, this parameter is also not purposefully set differently, thereby limiting the control accuracy of the air conditioner. Meanwhile, in the cooling and heating modes, this temperature compensation value should be different.
In order to solve this problem, as shown in step S502 of fig. 5, in the activated state, the set button is operated according to a difference between the current cooling/heating ambient temperature compensation and the target cooling/heating ambient temperature compensation. For example, if the current refrigeration environment temperature compensation is 0 ℃ and the target refrigeration temperature compensation is 2 ℃, the setting button operates twice according to the difference value between the current refrigeration environment temperature compensation and the target refrigeration temperature compensation, namely-2 ℃. Or, the current heating environment temperature compensation is 0 ℃, the target heating temperature compensation is-5 ℃, and the setting key operates five times according to the difference value between the current heating environment temperature compensation and the target heating temperature compensation, namely 5 ℃.
In step S503, the remote controller control chip outputs a temperature compensation setting signal to the air conditioner indoor unit control chip according to the accumulated times of the setting key actions. It should be noted that the temperature compensation setting signal includes a sign bit. The sign bit can be embodied by the corresponding key position of the set key.
In step S504, the indoor unit control chip receives the temperature compensation setting signal and generates a cooling/heating environment temperature compensation mode according to the temperature compensation setting signal. The cooling/heating environment temperature compensation mode comprises that the control environment temperature is the sum of the temperature detection signal collected by the input port of the control chip of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the target cooling/heating environment temperature compensation.
Because the overlarge temperature compensation can cause the deviation of the refrigeration effect, the difference value between the refrigeration environment temperature compensation and the target refrigeration environment temperature compensation belongs to a first interval, and the first interval is [ -2 ℃, 2 ℃; the difference between the heating environment temperature compensation and the target heating environment temperature compensation belongs to a second interval, and the second interval is [ -5 ℃, 5 ℃ ].
And after the air conditioner enters any one of the compensation control modes, the remote controller exits the activation state. Any one of the above-described arrangement methods may be integrated in the air conditioner, or all the above-described arrangement methods may be integrated. For the latter, a different activation key needs to be provided to prevent collision. The activation key is preferably provided as a multiplex key which cannot be operated by a single hand of a plurality of users, and is activated by simultaneous key-pressing of the plurality of multiplex keys.
And a reactivation key is also arranged on the remote controller. When the remote controller exits the activated state. The reactivation key action may cause the remote control to enter the active state again. Preferably, the reactivation key is preferably provided as a multiplex key which is not fully operable by a single user. The number of reactivation keys is preferably greater than the number of activation keys to avoid malfunction.
The configuration method of the air conditioner can adjust the set working mode of the air conditioner when leaving the factory, or reduce the set working mode of the air conditioner when leaving the factory, or adjust the inherent set parameters of the air conditioner when leaving the factory in a customized manner, so that the performance of the air conditioner is closer to the use requirements of users.

The air conditioner adopting the air conditioner configuration method disclosed by any one of the above embodiments has the same technical effects.
