As shown in fig. 1, an air conditioner internal unit control device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the air conditioner comprises an air conditioner main controller 1, a sub-controller 2, an infrared sensor 3 and a distance detection device 4; infrared sensor 3 and distance detection device 4 set up and gather user's infrared sensing signal and distance signal respectively on the air conditioner to signal transmission to sub-controller 2 that will gather, sub-controller 2 receives the signal that infrared sensor 3 and distance detection device 4 gathered, sends to air conditioner main control unit 1 after handling, and air conditioner main control unit 1 is according to the air-out wind speed and the mode of the signal control air conditioner of sub-controller 2 transmission.
The air conditioner main controller 1 is mainly used for controlling the air outlet speed and the working mode of the air conditioner, the sub-controller 2 is mainly used for controlling the opening of the receiving infrared sensor 3 and the distance detection device 4, and transmitting signals sent and received by the receiving infrared sensor 3 and the distance detection device 4 to the air conditioner main controller 1 after processing, so that the air outlet speed and the working mode of the whole air conditioner are controlled.
When the user moves to an area near the air outlet of the air conditioner, infrared rays radiated by an infrared imaging induction target (namely, the user) of the infrared sensor 3 are used for detecting whether a person is in a set detection area or not in real time. The infrared sensor 3 transmits and receives signals and feeds the signals back to the sub-controller 2 for discrimination. When the signal fed back by the infrared sensor 3 shows that a user appears in the detection area, the sub-controller 2 issues a control instruction to control the distance detection device 4 to detect the distance between the user and the air outlet of the air conditioner. The distance detection device 4 is a sensor that can measure a distance, and for example, can calculate a distance to an object (i.e., a user) by emitting an energy beam and reflecting the energy beam by the object (i.e., the user) to be measured, and calculating a time when the energy beam is emitted to be reflected by the object (i.e., the user).
Preferably, the infrared sensor 3 and the distance detection device 4 are located below the air outlet of the air conditioner. An infrared sensor 3 and a distance detection device 4 are additionally arranged below the air-conditioning air outlet, and signals are continuously sent and received by the two detection devices, so that whether a user, particularly an infant or a child, moves near the air-conditioning air outlet is judged, and the specific distance between the user and the air outlet and the movement time are calculated. Can effectively distinguish the activity personnel near the air outlet, effectually avoid the activity personnel near the air outlet of air conditioner, blow the lower cold wind of temperature for a long time and influence healthy.
According to the distance degree from the air outlet of the air conditioner, the detection area is divided into different areas, according to the distance signal from the user to the air outlet of the air conditioner, fed back by the distance detection device 4, the air conditioner main controller 1 determines the area where the user is located, and correspondingly controls the air outlet speed of the air conditioner.
Specifically, at least three regions S1, S2 and S3 may be divided according to the distance from the air outlet, where Smin < S1< S2< S3< Smax, where Smin is a preset minimum detection region and Smax is a preset maximum detection region. Of course, the three area divisions are only examples, and more areas can be specifically divided, so that more detailed wind speed control can be realized.
According to the distance between the user and the air outlet, the sub-controller 2 feeds back different signals to the air conditioner main controller 1, so that the air conditioner main controller 1 controls the air conditioner air outlet speeds to be delta n1, delta n2 and delta n3 for different areas S1, S2 and S3, Nmin < delta n1< delta n2< delta n3< Nmax, wherein Nmin is a preset lowest air outlet speed, and Nmax is a preset highest air outlet speed.
Meanwhile, the main controller of the air conditioner can control the corresponding working mode according to the stay time of the user in the area. Specifically, when the time T that the user stays in the area is longer than the preset time Ti, the air-conditioning main controller 1 controls the operation mode to be the air blowing mode, and when the user leaves the area (whether the user leaves the area can be confirmed by a signal fed back from the distance detection device 4), the air-conditioning main controller 1 controls the operation mode to be the cooling mode or the heating mode.
Through the air outlet speed and the working mode of the intelligent control air conditioner indoor unit, the situation that when a user, particularly an infant or a child, moves near an air outlet of the air conditioner, the user blows wind with low temperature or wind with high temperature for a long time can be effectively avoided, and finally the effect of protecting the health of the user is achieved.

And S34, setting the area closest to the air outlet of the air conditioner as the optimal detection area S by the sub-controller 2.
At S35, the sub-controller 2 determines whether or not the optimum detection region S is the S1 region, and proceeds to S4 when the optimum detection region S is the S1 region.
S36, when the optimum detection area S is not the S1 area, the sub-controller 2 judges whether or not the optimum detection area S is the S2 area, and when the optimum detection area S is the S2 area, it proceeds to S4.
S37, when the optimum detection area S is not the S2 area, the sub-controller 2 judges whether or not the optimum detection area S is the S3 area, when the optimum detection area S is the S3 area, it proceeds to S4, when the optimum detection area S is not the S3 area, it returns to S2, and the infrared sensor 3 resumes operation.
And S4, the air conditioner main controller 1 correspondingly controls the air outlet speed of the air conditioner according to the area where the user is located.
According to the division of the detection areas, the air-conditioning main controller 1 controls the air-conditioning outlet wind speeds to be Δ n1, Δ n2 and Δ n3 for different areas S1, S2 and S3, and Nmin < Δ n1< Δ n2< Δ n3< Nmax, wherein Nmin is a preset lowest outlet wind speed, and Nmax is a preset highest outlet wind speed.
