Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, the embodiments described with reference to the drawings being illustrative, and the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
An embedded air conditioner and a remote control device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 5.
An embedded air conditioner (not shown in the drawings) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a panel 110, a plurality of light receiving elements (not shown), and a controller (not shown).
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the surface of the panel 110 has a plurality of air outlets 111. The in-line air conditioner is generally installed on the top of a house or a ceiling, and thus is also called a ceiling type air conditioner, the panel 110 may be circular or square, the plurality of air outlets 111 are generally arranged to be positioned in different directions to supply air to various directions in the room, and the panel 110 further has a return air inlet 112, and the return air inlet 112 may be arranged at the middle of the panel 110, thus forming a ventilation mode of middle return air and peripheral outlet air.
The light receiving elements are used for receiving light signals, the light receiving elements are installed on the panel 110, and the plurality of light receiving elements and the plurality of air outlets 111 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner. That is, the light receiving element may be an element capable of directly receiving a light signal, or may be an element capable of sensing direct irradiation/radiation of light. Each of the light receiving elements is correspondingly disposed around each of the air outlets 111, where the one-to-one correspondence means that the disposed position of each of the light receiving elements can be intuitively determined by a user to correspond to the air outlet 111, for example, the light receiving element is closer to the air outlet 111 corresponding to itself than other light receiving elements.
The controller is connected with the panel 110, each light receiving element is electrically connected with the controller to send a signal to the controller after the light receiving element receives a light signal, and the controller controls the air outlet 111 corresponding to the light receiving element to be selected or deselected after receiving the signal.
According to the embedded air conditioner of the embodiment of the invention, the light receiving elements corresponding to the air outlets 111 are arranged, so that after the corresponding light receiving elements receive effective light signals, the corresponding instructions that the air outlets 111 are selected are sent to the controller, and the wind direction changing device and the wind speed control device corresponding to the selected air outlets are controlled to work independently, so that the air outlets 111 are controlled independently, and the special requirements of users on the air output quantity, the air output speed, the air output direction and the like of the specified air outlets 111 are met.
Compared with the structure that a plurality of keys opposite to the air outlet 111 are arranged on the remote control device 200, the remote control device only needs to arrange one key on the remote control device 200 to control the optical signal emitting element to emit the optical signal, the light can be intuitively irradiated to the vicinity of the air outlet 111 to be selected, when the light falls into the signal receiving area where the optical receiving element corresponding to the air outlet 111 can receive the effective signal, the air outlet 111 is selected, the operation is more direct and convenient, the customer experience is better, the problem that the existing air outlet 111 is not controlled clearly can be solved, and the use convenience of a user is improved.
The controller may be installed on the panel 110, for example, on the inner side of the panel 110 to be hidden between the panel 110 and the roof to avoid exposure to the outside, and the light receiving element may be directly integrated on the controller through a solder fillet, or may be electrically connected to the controller through a wire to make the position of the light receiving element more selectable.
In some embodiments, each of the light receiving elements is configured to: the signal receiving area corresponding to the air outlet 111 is used for receiving the optical signal, the air outlet 111 corresponding to each optical receiving element at least partially falls into the signal receiving area of the optical receiving element, and the signal receiving areas are not intersected with each other. It can also be understood that the panel 110 has signal receiving areas which are not overlapped with each other in space, and when the light emitted from the light emitting element 203 falls into a certain signal receiving area, the light receiving element in the receiving area receives the light signal, so that it is sufficient to select or cancel which air outlet 111 emits the light signal toward which air outlet 111 corresponds to more.
The air outlet 111 is selected by aligning the light signal emitted from the signal receiving area corresponding to the air outlet 111 for the first time, and if the air outlet 111 is already in the selected state, the light signal emitted from the signal receiving area corresponding to the air outlet is aligned again to cancel the selection if the user wants to cancel the selection. That is, after the device is turned on, when the light emitting button of the remote control device is pressed against the light receiving element near one of the outlets, the outlet 111 is selected, and when the button is pressed against the outlet again, the selection of the outlet is cancelled.
In this way, since the wind speed, wind direction, etc. of each outlet of the air conditioner are usually adjusted by the remote control device 200, in order to meet the more detailed requirements of customers, each outlet 111 is designed to be independently adjusted, and when the function key on the remote control device is pressed when the air outlet is not selected, the wind speed, wind direction, etc. of all the outlets 111 are uniformly adjusted. When the individual air outlet 111 needs to be controlled individually, the optical signal emitting device on the remote control device is controlled to emit light towards the signal receiving area of the air outlet 111 to be controlled, the optical receiving element corresponding to the air outlet receives the effective optical signal and then sends an instruction for selecting the air outlet to the controller, and at this time, other function keys of the remote control device 200, such as an air speed and air direction adjusting button, are pressed to independently adjust the selected air outlet 111. Therefore, only one air outlet 111 can be selected for carrying out function control on the air outlet, the air outlets 111 can be subjected to function control one by one, and the two air outlets 111 can be selected successively and then the two air outlets 111 can be subjected to unified control.
In some embodiments, the signal receiving area is a sector area divided by a line connecting the center of the panel 110 and the two ends of each outlet 111.
Taking four outlets 111 as an example, the four outlets 111 are respectively a first outlet 111a, a second outlet 111b, a third outlet 111c, and a fourth outlet 111d, a first light receiving element corresponding to the first outlet 111a is disposed around the first outlet 111a, a second light receiving element corresponding to the second outlet 111b is disposed around the second outlet 111b, a third light receiving element corresponding to the third outlet 111c is disposed around the third outlet 111c, and a fourth light receiving element corresponding to the fourth outlet 111d is disposed around the fourth outlet 111 d.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, each light receiving element can receive a control command sent by the remote control device, and in order to prevent inaccurate control of a certain air outlet 111, the signal receiving range of the light receiving element can be regionalized and divided into four approximately fan-shaped signal receiving areas, i.e., areas a/B/C/D, according to the positions of the four air outlets 111. When the light emitted from the remote control device is irradiated to the area a, the light signal received by the first light receiving element corresponding to the first air outlet 111a is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to the controller, which indicates that the air outlet 111 has been selected.
When the signal receiving area is not limited to the sector area, the signal receiving area may also be a circular radiation area with each light receiving element as a center, and in some embodiments, the signal receiving area is a circular area with each light receiving element as a center and intersecting with the air outlet 111 corresponding to the light receiving element. When the light emitting device irradiates one light receiving element, the light signal received by the light receiving device is strongest, and the selection operation of the air outlet 111 is more accurate, and when the light emitting device does not directly irradiate the light receiving element, but the irradiation position is any position in the circular radiation area, the signal can be received.
Since the light emitted from the light emitting element has a certain radiation range and light in daily life can be radiated onto the panel 110, the light receiving element can sense light signals, but the signals do not belong to effective light signals. In order to avoid the malfunction, validity determination may be performed, that is, whether or not the optical signal received by the light receiving element satisfies a preset condition may be determined. In some embodiments, the controller is configured to, after receiving the signal of the light receiving element, perform validity judgment on the light signal received by the light receiving element, and control the air outlet 111 corresponding to the light receiving element to be selected after judging that the light signal is valid.
The validity judgment comprises the following steps: the plurality of light receiving elements convert the received light signals into electric signals, the strength values of the signals are I1, I2, … and In respectively, the average value of the plurality of signals is used as a reference value, and the reference value Ip is (I1+ I2+ … + In)/n; calculating the difference value between each point and the average value, namely delta I1, delta I2, … and delta In; and comparing the values with a preset value delta Is, and enabling the optical signal received by the optical receiving element with the corresponding calculation result larger than the delta Is to be effective. Therefore, misoperation caused by the fact that other light sources in a room irradiate the light receiving element can be avoided.
Taking four air outlets 111 as an example, the four light receiving elements convert received light signals into electrical signals, the strength values of the signals are I1, I2, I3 and I4, the average value of the four signals is used as a reference value, and Ip is (I1+ I2+ I3+ I4)/4; calculating the difference value between each point and the average value, namely delta I1, delta I2, delta I3 and delta I4; a set value delta Is specified in the main control software or E side, when delta I Is larger than delta Is, the panel 110 corresponding to the signal Is selected, and the wind speed and wind direction operation keys are pressed to operate the air outlet 111.
In some embodiments, the light receiving element is a light sensitive sensor. Therefore, the light receiving element adopts a photosensitive sensor, and the structure is simple and the cost is low.
In some embodiments, the air outlets 111 are distributed along each edge of the panel 110, and the light receiving element is located on a side of the corresponding air outlet 111 away from the edge of the panel 110. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the air return openings 112 are located inside the air outlet openings 111, and the light receiving elements are located between the air outlet openings 111 and the corresponding air return openings 112. Therefore, the light receiving elements are arranged at the positions, the arrangement is more reasonable, and the corresponding of each air outlet 111 and the light receiving elements is more visual and more convenient for selecting the air outlets.
In order to avoid the influence of the light source in the horizontal direction, the position for installing the photosensitive sensor may be designed as a counter bore, in some embodiments, the panel 110 has a light receiving opening 113, the light receiving opening 113 is an installation counter bore for installing a light receiving element, and the light receiving element is embedded in the installation counter bore. For the specific example shown in the drawings, the four light-receiving ports 113 are a first light-receiving port 113a, a second light-receiving port 113b, a third light-receiving port 113c, and a fourth light-receiving port 113d, respectively, and the four light-receiving ports are used for correspondingly mounting four light-receiving elements, respectively.
In the specific embodiment shown in fig. 1, the embedded air conditioner further includes a plurality of indicator lights 120, the indicator lights 120 are connected to the panel 110, the indicator lights 120 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the air outlets 111, and the controller is electrically connected to the indicator lights 120, so that after the light receiving element receives the light signal, the controller controls the indicator lights to be turned on, and when the controller receives the light turning-off signal, the indicator lights are turned off. Therefore, the corresponding indicator lamp 120 is arranged corresponding to each air outlet 111, so that when the corresponding air outlet 111 is selected, the corresponding indicator lamp 120 is controlled to be lightened, and an operator is intuitively informed that the air outlet 111 has been selected.
For example, when the light emitting key 201 of the remote control device 200 is pressed toward the light receiving area a and the corresponding air outlet 111a is selected, the controller synchronously controls the indicator light 120a corresponding to the air outlet 111a to turn on. The indicator lamp 120 may be configured to turn off automatically after being turned on for a preset time (e.g., 3s-5s), or may be configured to control the indicator lamp 120 to turn off when light is not emitted toward the light receiving area and a key on the remote control device 200 is pressed again.
The light emission button 202 on the remote control device 200 is configured to control not only the emitted light but also the on and off of the indicator light 120. When the light is emitted toward the light receiving area where the certain air outlet 111 is located, the corresponding indicator light 120 also receives the light-on signal.
The indicator 120 may be a strip-shaped light bar or a point-shaped led bulb. In some embodiments, the indicator 120 is a light strip, and the air outlet 111 and the indicator 120 are both elongated and correspond to each other. Therefore, when the remote control device emits a light signal, the light is bright, so that a user can more clearly know which air opening is selected, the design perceptibility is enhanced, and meanwhile, the remote control device is more attractive.
In some embodiments, each indicator light 120 is located between the air outlet 111 and the light receiving element. In the specific embodiment shown in the drawings, the number of the indicator lights is 4, and the four indicator lights are the first indicator light 120a, the second indicator light 120b, the third indicator light 120c and the fourth indicator light 120d, respectively. Therefore, the position where the indicator light 120 is disposed can also illuminate the corresponding air outlet 111 after the indicator light 120 is turned on, and can also play a role in enhancing the intensity of light received by the corresponding light receiving area.
In some embodiments, the indicator light 120 is formed on the light receiving element. For example, a photosensitive sensor having the indicator light 120 may be directly selected, thereby having a simpler structure, lower cost, and more convenient installation.
The remote control device 200 of an air conditioner according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes: remote control body 201, light emission button 202.
The remote control body 201 is internally provided with a control circuit board and a light emitting piece 203, and the remote control body 201 is also provided with an air port function adjusting key 204. The light emitting key 202 is electrically connected to a control circuit board configured to control the light emitting member 203 to emit a light signal when the light emitting key 202 is pressed. The remote control device 200 may be used to remotely control the embedded air conditioner of the first aspect embodiment described above.
According to the remote control device 200 of the air conditioner of the embodiment of the invention, the light emitting piece 203 is arranged to emit a light signal when the light emitting key 202 is pressed, when a user wants to control a certain air outlet 111, the light emitting key 202 is pressed, the remote control device emits light rays, light spots are aligned to the area where the air outlet 111 to be controlled is located, the air outlet 111 is selected, and then the remote control device is operated by pressing the air outlet function adjusting key 204 (such as a wind speed button and a wind direction button); when the other air outlet 111 is controlled, the light spot is only required to be aligned to the other air outlet 111 to repeat the operation; after all the air ports are set, the light emission button 202 is pressed down to turn off the light source.
In some embodiments, the light emitting button is configured to drive the control circuit board to send a light-on signal and a light-off signal when pressed. Thereby, the corresponding indicator lamp 120 on the air conditioner panel 110 may be controlled to be turned off.
In some embodiments, the light emitting element 203 is a light-emitting element disposed within a housing of the remote control body 201, the housing having a light passing hole through which light passes. Thus, the light emitting member 203 is hidden in the remote control body 201 and emits light through the light hole.
In some embodiments, the light emitting member 203 is selected from any one of: LED light emitting component, the light emitting component of infrared light that sends, the light emitting component of blue light that sends.
