The color recognition sensor 100 may be a TCS230 capable of distinguishing a subtle color tone regardless of gloss, and is connected to the controller 200. And after the outdoor unit is installed, a color recognition program is automatically started, and the sensor outputs RGB color values.
According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling a variable color air conditioner, as shown in fig. 3.
The controller 200 receives and records the RGB color values output from the color recognition sensor 100 and converts them into analog signals. The analog signal serves as a standard color value for adjusting the color of the electrochromic display section 300. When the controller 200 receives the analog signal, the light transmittance of the electrochromic layer is adjusted by adjusting the voltage of the electrochromic display part 300, and the brightness of the corresponding color pixel point is adjusted by the light transmittance, so that the color and the brightness of the color-changing module in the electrochromic display part 300 are adjusted. The controller 200 adjusts the driving by itself according to the built-in program, until the program detects that the color of the display component is the same as the original RGB color value, the controller 200 stops adjusting, the color of the display component is kept unchanged, and at the moment, the visual appearance piece presents the color which is the same as or similar to the color of the outer wall of the building. The air conditioner external unit and the building outer wall are integrated into a whole.
Therefore, the invention adopts the color identification sensor technology, not only has accurate color identification, but also has the advantages of rapid identification, automatic transmission of identification data, low cost and the like. Meanwhile, the electrochromic technology is applied to realize the color change of the air conditioner appearance piece, the display flexibility and reliability can be improved, and the diversity of color change is realized.
The invention has simple structure, good display effect and high automation degree, can be arranged on building outer walls with various colors, meets the visual requirements of diversified and fashionable building colors and conforms to the appearance style of buildings to the greatest extent. Meanwhile, the air conditioner external unit can be selectively arranged at the position with the best ventilation and heat exchange effect, so that the performance of the air conditioner is not influenced, and the self aesthetic property of a building is not damaged.
The problem of the inflexible change of air conditioner outward appearance colour is solved, the effect of nimble change air conditioner outward appearance colour according to building wall body colour has been reached, makes the air conditioner more adapt to the building environment, is favorable to improving the market competition of air conditioner product.
In addition, due to the stability of the color representation of the electrochromic display device 300, power is not consumed as long as the display color is not changed, and the purpose of energy saving can be achieved. Compared with the prior thermosensitive color change, the color change is very stable and diversified under the action of an external electric field, and the color area is not limited.
