Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration process of an air supply area of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for configuring the air supply area of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner may generally include:
in step S302, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is controlled to enter a configuration mode, for example, in the configuration mode, the air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 may be configured. The blowing area may refer to a blowing area of the blowing airflow of the indoor unit 10 in the swing mode. After the configuration of the air supply area of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is completed, the user can control the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner to swing air according to the air supply area in the swing mode, and can also control the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner to send the air supply airflow to the designated position in the air supply area in the directional air supply mode.
In step S304, the human detection device 150 of the indoor unit 10 is activated to detect the spatial position of the target interactive person in the working environment of the indoor unit 10. The target interaction person may refer to an installation and maintenance person of the air conditioner 10, or may refer to a user of the air conditioner 10. A rectangular spatial coordinate system may be established in the working environment of the indoor unit 10, the indoor unit 10 may be an origin (i.e., an O point) of the coordinate system, as shown in fig. 4, an x-axis direction and a y-axis direction of the coordinate system may be a transverse extending direction and a front-back extending direction of the indoor unit 10, respectively, and a z-axis direction (as shown in fig. 5) of the coordinate system may be a vertical extending direction (perpendicular to a plane where the x-axis and the y-axis are located) of the indoor unit 10. The terms "transverse," "front-back" and "vertical" are relative to the actual usage status of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. The spatial position of the target interactor may refer to the spatial coordinates of the target interactor in a spatial rectangular coordinate system.
In step S306, the air supply boundary of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is determined according to the detection result of the human detection device 150. The air supply boundary may refer to a boundary of an air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, i.e., a boundary line between the air supply area and a non-air supply area.
In step S308, the air supply area of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is configured according to the air supply boundary. That is, the air supply area of the indoor unit 10 is defined according to the air supply boundary.
With the above method, after the air conditioner 10 of the present embodiment enters the configuration mode, the spatial position of the target interaction person in the working environment is detected by starting the human detection device 150 of the air conditioner 10, and the air supply boundary of the air conditioner 10 is determined according to the detection result of the human detection device 150, so that the air supply area of the air conditioner 10 can be configured according to the air supply boundary. The present embodiment improves the configuration method of the air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and can determine the air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 only by using the detection result of the human detection device 150, which improves the intelligence degree of the configuration process.
The air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is configured by using the detection result of the human detection device 150, so that the configuration process of the embodiment does not need to consider the house structure of the working environment, the installation position of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 relative to the working environment and other factors, and does not need to add other complicated mechanical structures, thereby not only having simple overall structure, but also simplifying the configuration method of the air supply area and improving the configuration efficiency of the air supply area.
The step S302 may include: receiving an instruction sent by the target interaction person to instruct the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to enter the configuration mode, and controlling the air conditioner indoor unit 10 to send an instruction signal for prompting the target interaction person to move in the working environment. For example, after the air conditioner 10 is installed, the target interactive person may send an instruction for instructing the air conditioner 10 to enter the configuration mode to the air conditioner 10 through a voice instruction or by operating a key of a remote controller pre-bound to the air conditioner 10. After receiving the instruction sent by the target interaction person, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 may send an instruction signal to the target interaction person through a voice signal or through a display panel of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, so as to prompt the target interaction person to start moving in the working environment.
The step S306 may include: the activity area of the target interactive person is determined based on the detection result of the human detection device 150, and the air supply boundary of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is determined based on the activity area of the target interactive person.
When the target interaction person moves, the spatial position of the target interaction person changes. The human detection apparatus 150 may detect and record spatial positions during the movement of the target human interactor, and a set of spatial positions during the movement may form an activity area of the target human interactor. The target interaction personnel can move in the working environment according to the daily activity habits of the user, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 10 can know the daily activity area of the user, and the air supply area can be configured according to the daily activity area, which is beneficial to improving the air supply effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, so that the air supply airflow can meet the use requirements of the user, and the air is supplied to the user in a targeted manner.
The step of determining the air supply boundary of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner according to the activity area of the target interactive person may include: a boundary determination point is selected from the activity area, and a connection line between the boundary determination point and the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is used as an air supply boundary of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. The air supply boundaries may include left and right air supply boundaries in the horizontal direction, and/or upper and lower air supply boundaries in the vertical direction.
The air deflectors of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner may include lateral air deflectors and/or vertical air deflectors. In a pendulum wind mode. The air deflector of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner can swing left and right around a rotation axis in the vertical direction (for example, a vertical air deflector) and can also swing in pitch around a rotation axis in the horizontal direction (for example, a horizontal air deflector).
The boundary determination points may include left and right boundary determination points located in a horizontal direction and/or upper and lower boundary determination points located in a vertical direction. The horizontal direction may be parallel to the ground (i.e., horizontal plane) of the working environment, and may be parallel to the transverse extension direction of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, which may be substantially the x-axis direction in fig. 4. The vertical direction may be perpendicular to the ground of the working environment, and may be approximately the y-axis direction in fig. 4.
The left and right boundary determination points may be used to determine a maximum swing angle of the vertical air deflection. The upper and lower boundary determination points may be used to determine a maximum swing angle of the transverse air deflection panel.
Wherein the boundary determination point in each direction may be two. Taking the determination method of the left and right boundary determination points as an example, two left and right boundary determination points in the horizontal direction may be determined from the projection of the active region in the horizontal plane, for example. In fig. 4, the broken line boxes show the projection of the active region in the horizontal plane, two points A, B show two left and right boundary determination points located in the horizontal direction, respectively, and two points OA and OB show two left and right air blowing boundaries located in the horizontal direction, respectively.
Fig. 5 is another schematic diagram illustrating a process of configuring the blowing area of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. The diagram shows upper and lower boundary determination points and upper and lower air supply boundaries. In fig. 5, a dotted line shows a projection plane of the movement region of the target interacting person in the vertical direction, two points C, D respectively show two upper and lower boundary determination points located in the vertical direction, and OC and OD respectively show two upper and lower air supply boundaries located in the vertical direction.
Each spatial position in which the target interactor has appeared in the activity area forms a point in the activity area. The boundary determination point is a point in the active area.
The determination process of the left and right boundary determination points is taken as an example. In the horizontal direction, the two left and right boundary determination points may be located on the left and right sides of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, respectively. The step of selecting a left and right boundary determination point from the active area may comprise: selecting left and right boundary measurement points from the activity area, wherein the horizontal distance between the left and right boundary measurement points and the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is the largest compared with other points in the activity area, judging whether the left and right boundary measurement points are multiple, if not, directly using the left and right boundary measurement points as left and right boundary determination points, if yes, respectively calculating the front-back distance between each left and right boundary measurement point and the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and selecting the left and right boundary measurement points with the smallest front-back distance with the air conditioner indoor unit 10 as the left and right boundary determination points. Here, the horizontal distance refers to a projection of an actual distance between a certain point in the activity area and the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner in the x-axis direction. The front-rear distance refers to the projection of the actual distance between a point in the activity area and the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner in the y-axis direction.
After understanding the above-mentioned method for determining the left and right boundary determination points, those skilled in the art should be fully capable of expanding the method for determining the upper and lower boundary determination points, and therefore, will not be described in detail herein.
After the air supply boundary of the indoor unit 10 is determined, in the above step S308, for example, the air supply area of the indoor unit 10 in the horizontal direction may be the area indicated by the sector AOB in fig. 4.
In some embodiments, after the step of configuring the air supply area of the indoor unit 10 according to the air supply boundary, the configuration method may further include: and determining the swing angle range of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 according to the air supply area, and configuring the swing speed and the wind speed gear of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 aiming at the swing mode of the air supply area according to the swing angle range.
The step of configuring the swing speed and the wind speed gear of the swing mode of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner according to the swing angle range may include: and determining the swing wind amplitude of the swing wind mode according to the swing wind angle range, and configuring the swing speed and the wind speed gear of the swing wind mode according to the swing wind amplitude.
The swing angle range of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner refers to the swing angle range of the air deflector. For example, the swing angle range of the vertical air deflector may be determined according to the air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 in the horizontal direction, and the swing angle range of the horizontal air deflector may be determined according to the air supply area of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 in the vertical direction.
The swing amplitude can guide the size of the swing angle range of the wind plate. Taking the vertical air guiding plate as an example, when the air supply area is the area shown by the sector AOB in fig. 4, the swing angle of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is-60 to 60 ° in the horizontal direction, and correspondingly, the swing amplitude is 120 °. If the swing angle of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is-60 to 30 °, the swing amplitude is 90 °.
In the step of configuring the swing speed and the wind speed gear of the swing mode according to the swing amplitude, the swing speed of the air deflector and the wind speed gear of the air supply fan can be respectively determined according to the swing amplitude.
In this embodiment, a plurality of numerical ranges of the swing wind amplitudes may be preset, and each numerical range of the swing wind amplitudes may correspond to a swing speed of one air deflector and a wind speed gear of the air supply fan. The plurality of swing ranges may include a first range, a second range and a third range, for example, the first range may be (100, 180) °, the second range may be (80, 100] °, and the third range may be (0, 80] °, the swing speed of the air deflector may be preset with a plurality of gears, for example, a high speed swing gear, a medium speed swing gear and a low speed swing gear, the wind speed gear of the air supply fan may be preset with a plurality of gears, for example, a high wind speed gear, a medium wind speed gear and a low wind speed gear, the swing speed of the air deflector corresponding to the first range may be a high speed swing gear, the wind speed gear of the air supply fan corresponding to the first range may be a high wind speed gear, the swing speed of the air deflector corresponding to the second range may be a medium speed swing gear, the wind speed gear of the air supply fan corresponding to the second numerical range can be a medium wind speed gear; the swing speed of the air deflector corresponding to the third numerical range may be a low-speed swing gear, and the wind speed gear of the air supply fan corresponding to the third numerical range may be a low-wind speed gear.
For example, if the swing angle range of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 is-30 to 90 °, the swing amplitude of the swing mode is 120 °, the swing amplitude of the swing mode is a first numerical range, accordingly, the swing speed of the air deflector is a high-speed swing gear, and the wind speed gear of the air supply fan is a high-speed gear.
