Description

Air conditioner and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly relates to an air conditioner and a control method thereof.
Background
Along with the continuous improvement of living standard of people, people also put forward higher and higher requirements on living environment. In order to maintain a comfortable ambient temperature, an air conditioner has become an indispensable equipment in human life. In recent years, although air conditioner technology has been developed to a very mature level, there are still some areas where improvements are needed in the existing air conditioners. For example, the set temperature of the existing air conditioner is directly input by a user, and the air conditioner always exchanges heat with the set temperature as a target temperature in the operation process; however, it is obvious that the specific situation of the same air conditioner in the application scenario of different time periods is likely to change, and the existing air conditioner does not change the set temperature according to the change. Particularly for commercial air conditioners, the variation range of the specific situation in the application scene is large in one day; therefore, if the air conditioner runs at the same set temperature all the time, the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner can not meet the heat exchange requirement of a user well or the air conditioner causes energy waste, and further the user experience is reduced sharply.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new air conditioner and a method for controlling the same to solve the above-mentioned problems.
