The air conditioner is a common electric appliance in daily life, can adjust indoor temperature, namely can heat up or cool down, enables the indoor temperature to be matched with the preset temperature of a user, and further can cover indoor environment. In the embodiment of the invention, one, two or more environment information acquisition modules are arranged in the air-conditioning action area, so that the current operation mode of the air outlet of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the environment information acquired by any one environment information acquisition module and the corresponding module position distance information, therefore, the control quality in the action area can be comprehensively detected through at least one environment information acquisition module, the corresponding air-conditioning control can be carried out, the control optimization and energy conservation of the air conditioner are realized, and the comfort and experience of users can be further improved.

In this embodiment, the air conditioning system includes: the system comprises at least one air conditioner and at least one environmental information acquisition module arranged in an air conditioning action area. The air conditioner can be a vertical air conditioner, a hanging air conditioner or an embedded air conditioner. The environment information acquisition module can be one, two or more of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a fine particle detection device, a formaldehyde detection device and the like. Generally, these environmental information collection modules can communicate with an air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can control the refrigerating capacity, the air output and the like according to the environmental information collected by the environmental information collection modules.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning system control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioning system control process includes:

step 101: and monitoring the environmental information sent by each first environmental information acquisition module which is matched with the local air conditioner in a networking way.

In an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioning system includes: the system comprises at least one air conditioner and at least one environmental information acquisition module arranged in an air conditioning action area. For example: the air conditioning system includes: a hanging air conditioner and two temperature sensors installed in the room. Alternatively, the air conditioning system includes: an embedded air conditioner, a temperature sensor installed in a room, and a humidity sensor installed in the room. Alternatively, the air conditioning system includes: two embedded air conditioners, four temperature sensors installed in the room. Alternatively, the air conditioning system includes: the system comprises three embedded air conditioners, three temperature sensors, two temperature sensors and a formaldehyde detection device, wherein the three embedded air conditioners are arranged in a room.

Because the area of regulation promptly the air conditioner is acted on the area, for example the room, may have one, two or more air conditioners, also may have one, two or more environmental information collection module to, general environmental information collection module all can communicate with the air conditioner, but because every air conditioner all is by the functional coverage area of a preferred, consequently, not necessarily every environmental information collection module all can match with all air conditioners, constitutes the system of monitoring regional environmental information of action, but to every air conditioner all has the environmental information collection module that the corresponding network deployment matches. Therefore, each air conditioner can determine each first environment information acquisition module capable of being matched in a networking mode in advance according to the module position distance information between each air conditioner and each environment information acquisition module, and the module position distance information of each first environment information acquisition module is stored.

After determining each first environment information acquisition module matched with the networking, the home-end air conditioner can monitor the environment information sent by each first environment information acquisition module matched with the networking. The air conditioner can communicate with the first environmental information acquisition modules, and a monitoring mechanism can be acquired, namely, the acquired data can be reported to the local air conditioner by acquiring corresponding data by any one first environmental information acquisition module.

Step 102: and adjusting the current operation mode of at least one device in the local air conditioner according to the temperature deviation between the monitored temperature value in each piece of first environment information and the set temperature value.

The air conditioner at the home terminal monitors the collected data reported by each environmental information collecting module, when any one environmental information collecting module is monitored to report the collected data, the monitored first environmental information collecting module is the first current environmental information collecting module, therefore, the reported collected data comprises the first current environmental information, and therefore, the current operation mode of at least one device in the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the temperature deviation between the temperature value in the first current environmental information and the set temperature value. Can include the following steps: when the temperature deviation is larger than a first preset temperature value, the opening of a throttle valve of the air conditioner is increased, and the air output of a fan of the air conditioner is increased; and when the temperature deviation is smaller than a second preset temperature value, reducing the opening of the throttle valve of the air conditioner.

For example: the first preset temperature value is 2.5, and if the temperature deviation is greater than 2.5, the opening of the throttle valve of the air conditioner can be increased, so that the refrigerant flow of the air conditioner is increased, and the temperature is rapidly reduced. Of course, the air output of the fan of the air conditioner can be increased, and the temperature of an action area can be further quickly adjusted. The second preset temperature value may be-1.5, so that if the temperature deviation is less than-1.5, the throttle opening of the air conditioner may be reduced, thereby reducing the refrigerant flow rate of the air conditioner and gradually increasing the temperature of the action area.

Of course, the first predetermined temperature value may also be 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 3.5, etc., and the second predetermined temperature value may also be-1, -1.8, -2, -3, etc., to name a few.

Because the air conditioner action area is internally provided with one, two or more first environment information acquisition modules, the current operation mode of at least one device in the air conditioner can be adjusted no matter one first environment information acquisition module or the temperature deviation between the temperature value and the set temperature value in the data acquired by the two or more first environment information acquisition modules does not meet the set requirement, and therefore, the temperature of the action area is adjusted.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, there is one, two or more environmental information collection modules in the air conditioner effect area, so that the current operation mode of at least one device in the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the environmental information collected by any one environmental information collection module, thereby, the control quality in the effect area can be detected more comprehensively through at least one environmental information collection module, and corresponding air conditioner control can be performed, so that the control optimization and energy saving of the air conditioner are realized, and the comfort and experience of users can be further improved.

According to the temperature deviation, the operation mode of the throttle opening, the fan and the like can be controlled, but the invention is not limited thereto, and other devices can be controlled, such as: compressor, air outlet, etc.

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

step 201: and monitoring the environmental information sent by each first environmental information acquisition module which is matched with the local air conditioner in a networking way.

Similarly, the local air conditioner and the first environmental information acquisition modules are matched in a networking mode, and the local air conditioner can store the module information and the module position distance information of each first environmental information acquisition module.

Step 202: and adjusting the current operation mode of the air outlet of the local air conditioner according to the monitored temperature deviation between the temperature value in each first environment information and the set temperature value and the stored module position distance information corresponding to the first environment information acquisition module.

The air conditioner may have one, two or more outlets, and for one outlet, the outlet may be directly controlled. For two or more air outlets, a first air outlet corresponding to the first environmental information collection module needs to be determined, and then the determined air outlet is controlled, which may include: when the temperature deviation is larger than a third preset temperature value, determining a first air outlet corresponding to the first environment information acquisition module in the local air conditioner according to angle information in the module position distance information, and controlling the air outlet direction of the first air outlet to be matched with the angle information; and when the temperature deviation is less than or equal to a third preset temperature value, controlling the air outlet of the local air conditioner to swing for operation.

The third preset temperature value may be preset according to the performance of the local air conditioner, for example: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, etc., the third preset temperature value may also be equal to the first preset temperature value, for example: the local air conditioner is an embedded air conditioner and is provided with four air outlets, the third preset temperature value is 2, and therefore the temperature deviation between the temperature value acquired by the first environmental information acquisition module and the set temperature value is larger than 2, the first air outlet corresponding to the first environmental information acquisition module in the local air conditioner can be determined, and the air outlet direction of the first air outlet is controlled to be matched with the angle information. And when the temperature deviation is less than or equal to 2, the air outlet of the local air conditioner can be controlled to swing to operate, and only the first air outlet is controlled.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the current operation mode of the air outlet in the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the environmental information acquired by any one environmental information acquisition module and the corresponding module position distance information, so that the control optimization and energy conservation of the air conditioner are realized, and the comfort and the experience of a user can be further improved.

Of course, in another embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the throttle valve, the air output of the fan, and the air output direction of the air outlet may also be controlled according to the monitored temperature deviation between the temperature value in each of the first environmental information and the set temperature value. Thus, the environment of the action area can be improved quickly, and the comfort and the experience of the user can be further improved.

Since the action area such as indoor may have one, two or more air conditioners, and may also have one, two or more environmental information collection modules, the air conditioners and the environmental information collection modules need to be networked between each other, and thus each air conditioner has one, two or more environmental information collection modules that are networked and matched, forming an air conditioning system for monitoring the environmental information of the action area.

If the action area only has one air conditioner and one environmental information acquisition module, the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module can be directly matched in a networking mode. And for other distribution conditions of the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module, networking matching can be manually set.

Preferably, the networking matching of the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module can be performed according to the equipment information of the air conditioner, the air conditioner position distance information between the air conditioners and the module position distance information between the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module.

FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating a first environmental information collection module determining a networking match in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 3, the process of determining the first environmental information collection module, that is, the process of networking matching between the air conditioner and the environmental information collection module, includes:

step 301: and acquiring module information of each environment information acquisition module and acquiring module position distance information between the local air conditioner and each environment information acquisition module.

Each environmental information collection module has its own identification information, such as device ID, and also has function information, such as collected temperature information, humidity information at the time of collection, and so on, and therefore, each environmental information collection module has corresponding module information, including the device ID, function information, and so on described above. Because the air conditioner can communicate with the environmental information acquisition module, for example, wireless communication, the local air conditioner can obtain the module information of the corresponding environmental information acquisition module through the pairing interaction signaling between the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module.

Here, module position distance information is also acquired, including: distance information between the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module, and angle information. There are many ways to obtain module location range information, such as infrared ranging or other ranging sensors. Preferably, the module position distance information can be obtained through the radio frequency antenna.

Specifically, each air conditioner may be equipped with a radio frequency antenna, and each environment information collection module is equipped with a radio frequency transceiver module, for example, a communication module of each environment information collection module is equipped with a radio frequency transceiver module, and then the air conditioner may obtain module position distance information of each environment information collection module based on Angle-of-Arrival (AOV) radio frequency positioning.

Step 302: and determining each first environment information acquisition module matched with the network according to the module position distance information.

For an air conditioning system comprising an air conditioner and at least one environmental information acquisition module, the distance in the module position distance information of each environmental information acquisition module can be compared with a set distance, and then the environmental information acquisition module with the distance smaller than the set distance is determined as each first environmental information acquisition module matched with the network. The set distance may be set according to the device information of the air conditioner, for example: the power of the air conditioner is relatively large, and the set distance is also relatively large.

For an air conditioning system comprising two or more air conditioners and at least one environmental information acquisition module, each first environmental information acquisition module matched with a networking is determined according to equipment information of each air conditioner in the system, air conditioner position distance information among the air conditioners and module position distance information. Here, networking matching between the air conditioners may be performed first, that is, adjacent air conditioners matched with the local air conditioner networking are determined first, and then each first environment information acquisition module matched with the networking is determined according to the air conditioner position distance information and the module position distance information of the adjacent air conditioners.

The method specifically comprises the following steps: determining first air conditioner position distance information matched with current angle information in current module position distance information of a current environment information acquisition module and a corresponding first air conditioner from stored air conditioner position distance information of adjacent air conditioners matched with a local air conditioner network; receiving first current module position distance information of a current environment information acquisition module, which is acquired by a first air conditioner; and when the difference value between the current distance in the current module position distance information and the first current distance in the first current module position distance information meets a set value, determining that the current environment information acquisition module is a first environment information acquisition module matched with the local air conditioner networking.

For example: the current angle is p in the current module position distance information, seeks in the air conditioner position distance information that the network deployment that the air conditioner was saved matches near the air conditioner, if the air conditioner angle of air conditioner position distance information and the angular difference between current angle p satisfy the settlement condition, for example: equal to 0 or between plus or minus 1, the air conditioner position distance information can be determined as the first air conditioner position distance information matched with the current angle information, and therefore, the corresponding first air conditioner can also be determined. Namely, in the p direction, a first air conditioner matched with the local air conditioner networking is arranged.

Each air conditioner can acquire the module information of each environmental information acquisition module and the corresponding module position distance information. Therefore, after the local air conditioner can perform information interaction with the first air conditioner, the local air conditioner can receive the first current module position distance information which is acquired by the first air conditioner and is connected with the current environment information acquisition module. Then, the difference between the current distance la in the current module position distance information and the first current distance lb in the first current module position distance information can be compared with a set value, and if the difference is smaller than the set value, the current environment information acquisition module can be determined to be the first environment information acquisition module matched with the local air conditioner networking. Also, the set value may be determined according to air conditioning information of the home air conditioner and the first air conditioner. For example: if the power of the local air conditioner is high and the power of the first air conditioner is low, the set value is small and may be a negative value.

Step 303: and saving the determined first module information and the first module position distance information of the first environment information acquisition module.

After the first environmental information acquisition module is determined, the home air conditioner can store the first module information and the first module position distance information, so that the home air conditioner and the first environmental information acquisition module are successfully networked.

For a system comprising two or more air conditioners, networking matching between the air conditioners is required to be carried out firstly, and the environment information acquisition module matched with the networking of each air conditioner can be determined.

Fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method of determining a networking match for an adjacent air conditioner according to an example embodiment. As shown in fig. 4, the process of determining the proximity air conditioner, i.e., the process of controlling the network matching between the air conditioners, includes:

step 401: and acquiring air conditioner information of each air conditioner and acquiring air conditioner position distance information between the local air conditioner and each air conditioner.

Each air conditioner has its own identification information, such as a device ID, and performance information, such as power information, wind information, and thus, each air conditioner has corresponding air conditioner information, including the device ID, function information, and the like, as described above. Moreover, the air conditioners can be in communication, such as wireless communication, so that the local air conditioner can obtain the air conditioner information of the corresponding air conditioner through pairing interaction signaling between the air conditioners.

Still need acquire air conditioner position distance information, include: air-conditioning distance information between air conditioners and air-conditioning angle information. There are many ways to obtain the distance information of the air conditioner, for example, infrared distance measurement or other distance measurement sensors. Preferably, the module position distance information can be obtained through the radio frequency antenna. Specifically, the air conditioner can be provided with a radio frequency antenna and a radio frequency transceiver module, so that the air conditioner position distance information between each air conditioner can be acquired based on AOV radio frequency positioning.

Step 402: and determining each adjacent air conditioner matched with the local air conditioner networking according to the air conditioner position distance information.

Here, the air conditioners in the air conditioning system may be first grouped according to the air conditioner angle information in the air conditioner location distance information.

For example: the local air conditioner can take the local as the center, and other air conditioners in the air conditioning system are divided into four groups according to the air conditioner angle information in the air conditioner position distance information, wherein the four groups are respectively a front group, a rear group, a left group and a right group. Of course, this is also not envisaged, for example: angles are grouped within 0-30, 30-60, 60-90, and so on, and finally, 330-.

And then, determining the air conditioner corresponding to the air conditioner distance meeting the set distance in the air conditioner position distance information in each group of air conditioners as a nearby air conditioner matched with the local air conditioner network.

According to the air conditioning information of the local air conditioner, for example: the method comprises the steps that power information, air volume information and the like are preset to be a set distance, and if the distance of a current air conditioner in a group of air conditioners is smaller than the set distance, the current air conditioner corresponding to the group of air conditioners can be determined to be an adjacent air conditioner matched with a local air conditioner network.

Step 403: and storing the determined air conditioner information of the adjacent air conditioner and the corresponding air conditioner position distance information.

After the adjacent air conditioner is determined, the air conditioner information and the corresponding air conditioner position distance information can be stored, and therefore the home air conditioner and the adjacent air conditioner are successfully networked.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module are arranged, the environmental information acquisition module can be randomly placed at any position in an air conditioner action area, and networking matching between the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module can be realized through a wireless network and mutual position distance information, so that the working parameters of at least one device of the air conditioner can be adjusted according to the data acquired by the environmental information acquisition module, and the temperature, the humidity and the like of the area where the environmental information acquisition module is located can be accurately adjusted.

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

In the first embodiment, in the air conditioning system, the air conditioners are matched in a networking manner, and each air conditioner also determines a corresponding first environment information acquisition module matched in the networking manner. Here, a description is given by taking monitoring of one temperature acquisition module as an example, that is, the first environmental information acquisition module is a current temperature acquisition module, and the first environmental information is current temperature information. And the current first preset temperature value is 2, and the second preset temperature value is-2.
