The embodiments of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.
An embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including an air duct, an air conditioning module, and a controller, wherein:
a plurality of cavities for air circulation are arranged in the air duct; a travel switch for detecting whether the air conditioning module is installed in place is arranged in each cavity;

the controller is respectively connected with the travel switches of the chambers, and the controller determines the functions of the air conditioning modules currently arranged in the chambers according to the trigger states of the travel switches of the chambers.
According to the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention, whether the air conditioning module is installed in place or not is detected by arranging the travel switch in each chamber, after the air conditioning module is installed in the chamber, the trigger component on the air conditioning module triggers the travel switch in the chamber, and the controller further determines the function of the air conditioning module currently arranged in the chamber according to the trigger state of the travel switch of each chamber after the air conditioning module is installed in place, so that the condition that the air conditioning function started by the air conditioner is inconsistent with the function of the air conditioning module is avoided.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, one embodiment of an air conditioner:
the air conditioner 100 includes an air duct 110, an air conditioning module 120, and a controller; wherein the controller is not shown, but does not affect the understanding of the present embodiment; be provided with three cavity 111 that supplies circulation of air in the wind channel 110, three cavity 111's shape and size are the same, and every cavity 111 all is provided with a recess respectively, and from last three recess down marks first recess A respectively, second recess B and third recess C respectively, and first recess A, second recess B and third recess C's position staggers respectively in vertical direction, not on same vertical line.
The three air conditioning modules 120 have the same shape and size, but the three air conditioning modules 120 have different functions, for example, the uppermost air conditioning module 120 is a formaldehyde removal module, the middle air conditioning module 120 is a HEPA filter module, and the lower air conditioning module 120 is a humidification module. Correspondingly, the three air conditioning modules 120 are respectively provided with a first projection D, a second projection E and a third projection F, wherein the shape and position of the first projection D are all matched with the first groove a, the shape and position of the second projection E are all matched with the second groove B, and the shape and position of the third projection F are all matched with the third groove C. Thus, the groove structure in the cavity 111 and the bump structure on the air conditioning module 120 constitute a fool-proof structure between the cavity 111 and the air conditioning module 120.
The grooves in the three chambers 111 in this embodiment are the same in shape, and are all square grooves, and the three chambers 111 are distinguished by the position of the grooves. It will be appreciated that the three chambers 111 may be differentiated from each other by providing different shapes of grooves, for example, a first groove is a triangular groove, a second groove is a quadrangular groove, and a third groove is a circular groove, and in this case, the positions of the three grooves in each chamber 111 may be the same or different.
In addition, a travel switch for detecting whether the air conditioning module 120 is installed in place is further disposed in each chamber 111, and a triggering part for triggering the travel switch is disposed on the air conditioning module 120. Specifically, the travel switches in the three chambers 111 are respectively disposed in the first groove a, the second groove B, and the third groove C, and the trigger components on the three air conditioning modules 120 are respectively disposed on the first projection D, the second projection E, and the third projection F. Therefore, when the air-conditioning module 120 provided with the first protrusion D is installed in the uppermost chamber 111, since the shape and position of the first protrusion D and the first groove a are matched, the air-conditioning module 120 can be successfully installed in place, and the trigger part on the first protrusion D can successfully trigger the travel switch in the first groove a; similarly, when the air conditioning module 120 provided with the second projection E is installed in the cavity 111 of the middle layer, the trigger component on the second projection E can successfully trigger the travel switch in the second groove B; when the air conditioning module 120 provided with the third projection F is mounted in the lower chamber 111, the trigger member on the third projection F can successfully trigger the travel switch in the third recess C. The controller in the air conditioner 100 is connected to the travel switches of the respective cavities 111, and determines the functions of the respective air conditioning modules 120 currently disposed in the cavities 111 according to the trigger states of the travel switches in the cavities 111, for example, the trigger state when the travel switch in the first groove a is not successfully triggered is recorded as 0, the trigger state after the travel switch in the first groove a is successfully triggered is recorded as 1, and after the controller obtains that the trigger state of the travel switch in the first groove a is changed to 1, it can determine that the function of the air conditioning module 120 currently disposed in the uppermost cavity 111 is a formaldehyde removal module; similarly, after the controller acquires that the trigger state of the travel switch in the second groove B is changed to 1, it can determine that the air conditioning module 120 currently placed in the cavity 111 of the middle layer functions as a HEPA filter module; the controller, upon acquiring that the activation state of the travel switch in the third recess C becomes 1, can determine that the air conditioning module 120 currently disposed in the lower chamber 111 functions as a humidification module.
Among them, the types of the stroke switch are classified into a contact type stroke switch and a non-contact type stroke switch. The touch travel switch is exemplified by a tact switch, and the trigger component is a mechanical component which can be used for touching and pressing the tact switch. There are many types of non-contact switches, and for example, the non-contact switches may be infrared travel switches or reed switches. When the infrared travel switch is used, an infrared transmitting device and an infrared receiving device may be disposed in a groove of the cavity 111, and a reflective sheet may be disposed in a protrusion of the air conditioning module 120, and when the air conditioning module 120 is installed in the matching cavity 111, the reflective sheet may reflect an infrared signal emitted from the infrared transmitting device to the infrared receiving device; when the reed switch sensor is adopted, the trigger part is a permanent magnet which can drive the reed switch to be attracted at the moment.
Referring to fig. 3, another embodiment of the air conditioner is shown, the air conditioner of this embodiment is different from the air conditioner shown in fig. 1 and 2 only in the position of the stroke switch 200 in the chamber 111 and the position of the trigger member 300 on the air conditioning module 120, the air conditioner 100 of this embodiment does not arrange the stroke switch 200 in the groove of the chamber 111, but arranges other parts of the chamber 111, such as two side edges of the chamber 111, and accordingly, the trigger member 300 on the air conditioning module 120 is not arranged on the bump, but arranged on two side edges of the air conditioning module 120.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 shows yet another embodiment of an air conditioner:
the air conditioner 100 includes an air duct 110, an air conditioning module 120, and a controller; wherein the controller is not shown, but does not affect the understanding of the present embodiment; three cavities 111 for air circulation are arranged in the air duct 110, the three cavities 111 are the same in shape and size, each cavity 111 is provided with three grooves, and each groove is provided with a travel switch, that is, each cavity 111 is provided with three travel switches. The controller is respectively connected with the travel switches of the 111 chambers.
The air conditioning module 120 is provided with triggering components for triggering the travel switch, and the specific number of the triggering components can be one, two or three, and the air conditioning modules 120 with different functions can be distinguished according to the number and the positions of the triggering components on the air conditioning module 120. The state in which the travel switch is triggered is marked as 1, and the state in which the travel switch is not triggered is marked as 0, so that the triggering states of the three travel switches in each chamber 111 are combined as follows: (0, 0,1), (0,1,0), (1,0,0), (0,1,1), (1,0,1), (1,1,0), (1,1,1), the controller may determine the function of each air conditioning module 120 currently disposed in each chamber 111 according to the trigger state of the travel switch of each chamber 111. It is understood that the number of the travel switches disposed in the chamber 111 is not limited to three, and may be other numbers, and the other numbers of the travel switches may be analogized according to the above example, and are not described again here.
Referring to fig. 5, a control method of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention is further provided, and the control method is applied to the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, and includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S100 to S300.
Step S100: the function of each chamber 111 is preset.
For the air conditioners shown in fig. 1 and 2 and the air conditioner shown in fig. 3, since only one travel switch is arranged in each chamber 111, only one air conditioning module can be identified according to the trigger state of the travel switch, and therefore, each chamber 111 can only preset one function, for example, the function of the uppermost chamber 111 is preset to be a formaldehyde removal function, the function of the middle chamber 111 is preset to be an HEPA filtration function, and the function of the lower chamber 111 is preset to be a humidification function.
For the air conditioner illustrated in fig. 4, each chamber 111 is provided with three travel switches, and the triggering states of the travel switches are seven types: (0, 0,1), (0,1,0), (1,0,0), (0,1,1), (1,0,1), (1,1,0), (1,1,1), and thus, seven functions, for example, a purification function, a formaldehyde removal function, a HEPA filtration function, a humidification function, an odor removal function, a fresh air function, and a plasma function, can be preset for each chamber 111 at most, and several functions can be also specified and preset for different chambers 111, for example, the function of the uppermost chamber 111 is preset to three of a purification function, a formaldehyde removal function, and a HEPA filtration function, the function of the intermediate chamber 111 is preset to two of a humidification function and an odor removal function, and the function of the lower chamber 111 is preset to two of a fresh air function and a plasma function.
Step S200: the controller determines the function of each air conditioning module 120 currently disposed in each chamber 111 according to the trigger state of the travel switch of each chamber 111.
Since the corresponding functions have been preset according to the triggering states of the chambers 111 that may exist in step S100, the controller can acquire the trigger states of the stroke switches of the respective chambers 111 after the air conditioning modules 120 are successfully installed in the chambers 111, thereby determining the functions of the respective air conditioning modules 120. For example, for the air conditioners shown in fig. 1 and 2 and the air conditioner shown in fig. 3, if the trigger state of the stroke switch of the uppermost chamber 111 is 1, it may be determined that the air conditioning module 120 mounted to the uppermost chamber 111 functions as a formaldehyde removal function; if the trigger state of the travel switch of the chamber 111 of the middle stage is 1, it may be determined that the function of the air conditioning module 120 mounted to the chamber 111 of the middle stage is the HEPA filtering function; if the trigger state of the stroke switch of the lower chamber 111 is 1, it is determined that the function of the air conditioning module 120 mounted to the lower chamber 111 is the humidifying function.
For the air conditioner illustrated in fig. 4, the function of the air conditioning module 120 can be determined to be any one of the preset seven functions according to seven triggering states of the three travel switches of each chamber 111.
Step S300: when the function of the air conditioning module 120 in the chamber 111 matches the preset function of the chamber 111, the corresponding function of the air conditioning module 120 is activated.
When the function of the air conditioning module 120 in the cavity 111 is matched with the preset function of the cavity 111, the corresponding function of the air conditioning module 120 is activated, otherwise, the function is not activated, and the inconsistency between the air conditioning function of the air conditioner and the function of the air conditioning module 120 is avoided, so that the air conditioning effect which cannot be considered after the air conditioner is started is avoided.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a front panel and an in-place detection device for detecting whether the front panel is installed in place, neither the front panel nor the in-place detection device is shown in the drawings, but understanding of the present solution is not affected, the in-place detection device is connected to the controller, and the control method further includes:
when the controller does not receive the in-place signal transmitted by the in-place detection device, the travel switch stops working.
In the embodiment, the travel switches start to work after the front panel is detected to be installed in place, and for some travel switches which need to consume electric energy, such as infrared travel switches, the electric energy consumption of the air conditioner in a state that the front panel is not installed in place can be reduced, so that the overall power consumption of the air conditioner is reduced.
Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the control method further comprises:

Referring to fig. 6, in some embodiments of the invention, the control method further comprises the steps of:
step S400: when the function of the air conditioning module in the cavity is not matched with the preset function of the cavity, a warning signal is sent out.
In this embodiment, after the air conditioning module is installed in the cavity, if the function of the air conditioning module is not matched with the preset function of the cavity, the warning signal is sent to remind the user to timely pull out and replace the air conditioning module with the matched function, so that the air conditioner can be normally started.
