Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used for explaining the present application and are not used for limiting the present application.
Before the embodiments of the present application are described in detail, a brief description of the air conditioner will be given.
The air conditioner is internally provided with an infrared sensor, particularly, the air conditioner cabinet can be internally provided with the infrared sensor, and the infrared sensor is used for detecting the environment where the air conditioner is located, such as whether people, animals or other obstacles exist in front of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can determine the operation mode of the air conditioner according to the environment. For example, if there is an obstacle in front of the air conditioner, the air conditioner starts an operation mode corresponding to an environment with the obstacle. Taking a dual-perfusion cabinet air conditioner as an example, as shown in fig. 1a, the left and right sides of the air conditioner are respectively provided with an air outlet, and a group of infrared sensors are respectively arranged below the two air outlets. The internal structure schematic diagram of the infrared sensor is as shown in fig. 1b, an infrared element is arranged in the infrared sensor, such as an infrared transmitting tube and an infrared receiving probe, and transmits an infrared signal through the infrared transmitting tube, the infrared signal reflects infrared light when encountering a person or other obstacles, and the infrared receiving probe receives the reflected infrared light and judges that the person or other obstacles are in front of the air conditioner.
However, in some scenarios, as shown in fig. 2a, when the air conditioner is placed in a corner, the air outlet of the air conditioner faces the corner, and since the infrared sensor is located below the air outlet, the position of the infrared sensor is schematically shown when the air conditioner is placed in the corner, as shown in fig. 2b, when the door of the air conditioner is opened, the infrared signal emitted by the infrared emitting tube of the infrared sensor will be incident on the wall surface and reflected on the wall surface, and the reflected signal will be received by the infrared receiving probe of the infrared sensor. In this scenario, the infrared receiving probe of the infrared sensor receives the reflected signal reflected by the wall surface instead of the signal required for controlling the air conditioner, so that the detection performance of the infrared sensor is disabled, and the detection performance of the infrared sensor is affected.
The application provides a method, a device and a storage medium for controlling the working state of an infrared sensor, aiming at all infrared sensor groups included in an air conditioner, the air conditioner is in a running state, namely, a switch door of the air conditioner is opened, after an infrared transmitting tube of the infrared sensor group transmits a signal, a reflection signal of the signal received by an infrared receiving probe of the infrared sensor group is greater than a preset first continuous time domain, if the reflection signal is greater than half an hour, a barrier formed by a fixed object is considered to be arranged in front of the infrared sensor, namely, a barrier formed by a part or all of the air outlet directions of an air outlet of the air conditioner face the fixed object; wherein, the barrier formed by the fixed object can be a wall surface, an article stored for a long time, and the like; in the scene, the detection result of the infrared sensor group comprises additional signals except signals required by the control of the air conditioner, so that the detection function of the infrared sensor is influenced, and the detection function of the infrared sensor is invalid; therefore, the working state of the infrared sensor is controlled to be closed, namely the infrared sensor does not detect signals; controlling the working state of another infrared sensor in the air conditioner to be on, and determining whether the detection function of the infrared sensor is effective or not by using the same method as that for the previous infrared sensor; if the detection function of the infrared sensor is effective, the working state of the infrared sensor is started, and the infrared sensor is utilized to detect signals.
As shown in fig. 4, an optional flowchart of the method for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensor according to the embodiment of the present application may at least include the following steps:
step S101, a first group of infrared sensors in at least two infrared sensors in the air conditioner are controlled to emit first signals.
In some alternative embodiments, the control air conditioner may include at least two sets of infrared sensors, each set of infrared sensors being formed of an infrared sensor array including at least one infrared sensor; taking an air conditioner including a first group of infrared sensors and a second group of infrared sensors as an example, as shown in fig. 4, the device for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensors controls the first group of infrared sensors in the air conditioner to emit a first signal, that is, the device for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensors controls the operating state of the first group of infrared sensors to be on.
And step S102, determining the use environment of the air conditioner based on whether the reflected signal of the first signal is received.
In some optional embodiments, the device for controlling the working state of the infrared sensor determines the use environment of the air conditioner based on whether the reflected signal of the first signal is received or not under the condition that the air conditioner is in the running state; when the air conditioner is in an operating state, an opening and closing door in the air conditioner is opened, and a first signal emitted by the first group of infrared sensors can not form a reflection signal on the opening and closing door.
In some optional embodiments, when the air conditioner is in an operating state, if the duration of receiving the reflected signal of the first signal is greater than or equal to the first continuous duration threshold, it is determined that an obstacle exists at a position in the use environment of the air conditioner corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors, and if the first group of infrared sensors is located below a first air outlet of the air conditioner, part or all of the air outlet direction of the first air outlet faces the obstacle; if the reflected signal of the first signal is not received or the duration of receiving the reflected signal of the first signal is less than the first continuous duration threshold, it is determined that no obstacle exists at the position corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors in the use environment of the air conditioner, that is, all air outlet directions of the first air outlet do not face the obstacle. Wherein the absence of the obstacle may be an obstacle placed momentarily within a first continuous length of time, i.e. the time of placement of the obstacle is less than the first continuous length of time; the presence of the obstacle may be an obstacle placed for a long period of time at a first continuous length threshold, i.e. the obstacle has been placed for a time greater than or equal to the first continuous length.
The first continuous duration threshold may refer to a preset time period, such as half an hour, and the value of the first continuous duration threshold may be flexibly set according to an actual application scenario. In the embodiment of the application, by limiting and judging whether the time period of receiving the reflected signal of the first signal is the first continuous time threshold, the detection function failure of the first group of infrared sensors caused by the obstacle existing in the short time in front of the air conditioner can be eliminated, and the detection function failure of the first group of infrared sensors caused by the obstacle existing in the long time such as the wall surface in front of the air conditioner is determined; the temporary obstacle may be a human being, an animal, an electric appliance, or the like.
For example, if the first continuous time threshold is half an hour, when the air conditioner is in the operating state, and the time period for receiving the reflected signal of the first signal is less than or equal to half an hour, it cannot be determined that the position corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors in the use environment of the air conditioner has a long-term obstacle, possibly a temporarily placed object; the reflected signal of the first signal may be a reflected signal of the first signal formed on a surface of the object placed transiently. If the duration of receiving the reflected signal of the first signal is greater than the first continuous duration threshold, it can be determined that a long-term obstacle such as a wall surface exists at a position corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors in the use environment of the air conditioner, and the reflected signal of the first signal may be a reflected signal formed by the first signal on the surface of the long-term obstacle.
In some alternative embodiments, the device for controlling the working state of the infrared sensor can be positioned in the air conditioner, namely, the device for controlling the working state of the infrared sensor belongs to a part of the air conditioner; the device for controlling the working state of the infrared sensor can also be positioned outside the air conditioner, and the device for controlling the working state of the infrared sensor is in communication connection with the air conditioner through communication modes such as network communication or near field communication and the like so as to determine whether the reflected signal of the received first signal is greater than the first continuous time threshold value.
And step S103, controlling the working state of the first group of infrared sensors based on the use environment of the air conditioner.
In some optional embodiments, if there is no obstacle in the position corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors in the usage environment of the air conditioner, that is, all the air outlet directions of the first air outlet do not face the obstacle, the device for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensors keeps the operating state of the first group of infrared sensors turned on; in this scenario, the operating state of the second group of sensors in the air conditioner may not be turned on, or may be turned on.
In other optional embodiments, if a barrier exists at a position corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors in the usage environment of the air conditioner, that is, a part or all of the air outlet direction of the first air outlet faces the barrier, the device for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensors controls the operating state of the first group of infrared sensors to be off. In this scenario, since the air conditioner is in an operating state and the opening and closing door of the air conditioner is opened, it can be determined that the reflected signal received by the infrared receiving probe of the first group of infrared sensors is not formed by the reflection of the first signal on the opening and closing door, but formed by the reflection of the first signal on other obstacles; at the moment, the detection function of the first group of infrared sensors is invalid, and the first group of infrared sensors are closed, so that the error control of the air conditioner caused by the invalid detection function of the first group of infrared sensors is avoided.
The method for controlling the working state of the infrared sensor provided by the embodiment of the application can further comprise the following steps:
and step S104, controlling the infrared sensor groups except the first group of infrared sensors in the air conditioner to emit second signals.
In some optional embodiments, when the air conditioner is in an operating state, if the reflected signal of the second signal is received or the duration of receiving the reflected signal of the second signal is less than the first continuous duration threshold, the device for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensor determines that no obstacle exists at a position in the use environment of the air conditioner corresponding to the infrared sensor group that transmits the second signal, and if the sensor group that transmits the second signal is below the second air outlet of the air conditioner, all air outlet directions of the second air outlet do not face the obstacle, and the operating state of the infrared sensor group that transmits the second signal is kept on.
In other optional embodiments, when the air conditioner is in the operating state, if the duration of receiving the reflected signal of the second signal is greater than or equal to the first continuous duration threshold, the device for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensor determines that an obstacle exists at a position, in the use environment of the air conditioner, corresponding to the infrared sensor group that transmits the second signal, that is, a part or all of the air outlet direction of the second air outlet faces the obstacle, and controls the operating state of the infrared sensor group that transmits the second signal to be off.
The method for controlling the working state of the infrared sensor provided by the embodiment of the application can further comprise the following steps:
step S105, if the time length of receiving the reflected signals of the signals transmitted by all the infrared sensor groups in the air conditioner is greater than the first continuous time length threshold value, determining that the installation position of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted.
For example, if the air conditioner includes a first group of infrared sensors and a second group of infrared sensors, and the lengths of time for receiving the reflected signals of the signals transmitted by the first group of infrared sensors and the second group of infrared sensors are both greater than the first continuous length threshold, it is indicated that there are obstacles placed for a long time in the positions corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors and the second group of infrared sensors in the use environment of the air conditioner, that is, part or all of the air outlet directions of the first air outlet of the air conditioner face the obstacles, and part or all of the air outlet directions of the second air outlet face the obstacles, and it is determined that the installation position of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted
In the above embodiment, the air conditioner includes two sets of infrared sensors as an example, and in practical application, the air conditioner may further include three or more sets of infrared sensors; aiming at the condition that three or more groups of infrared sensors are included in the air conditioner, the method for controlling the working state of the infrared sensors is the same as the method for controlling two groups of infrared sensors included in the air conditioner, namely, each group of infrared sensors is controlled to transmit signals, whether the reflected signals of the transmitted signals are received or not and the time length for receiving the reflected signals are judged, if the reflected signals of the transmitted signals are not received or the time length for receiving the reflected signals is less than a first continuous time length threshold value, the fact that no barrier exists in the position, corresponding to the infrared sensor group, in the using environment of the air conditioner is determined, the detection function of the infrared sensor group is effective, and the working state of the infrared sensor group is controlled to be on; if the duration of receiving the emission signal of the emission signal is greater than or equal to the first continuous duration threshold, determining that an obstacle exists at a position corresponding to the infrared sensor group in the using environment of the air conditioner, and if the detection function of the infrared sensor group is invalid, controlling the working state of the infrared sensor group to be closed; if the reflected signals of the transmitted signals of all the infrared sensor groups are received, it is determined that obstacles exist at the positions corresponding to all the infrared sensor groups in the using environment of the air conditioner, and the installation position of the air conditioner needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the working state of the infrared sensor group corresponding to the position where the obstacle exists in the using environment of the air conditioner is closed, the error control of the air conditioner caused by the fact that the infrared sensor group detects invalid reflection signals is avoided, and the accurate control of the air conditioner is guaranteed.
As shown in fig. 5, a detailed optional flowchart of the method for controlling the operating state of the infrared sensor according to the embodiment of the present application may at least include the following steps:
step S301, the air conditioner is started.
And step S302, opening the air conditioner switch door.
Step S303, judging whether the opening and closing of the air conditioner door is finished; if yes, go to step S304; if not, go to step S302.
In the embodiment of the application, if the opening and closing door of the air conditioner is opened, and after the infrared transmitting tube of the infrared sensor transmits a signal, the infrared receiving probe of the infrared sensor can receive a reflected signal of the signal, an obstacle formed by a fixed object is considered to be in front of the infrared sensor; under this scene, the detection result of infrared sensor includes the extra signal beyond the signal that control air conditioner needs, and then influences infrared sensor's detection function, leads to infrared sensor's detection function inefficacy. Therefore, the embodiment of the application requires the opening and closing door to be opened.
Step S304, a mechanism for detecting the function of the infrared sensor is turned on.
In step S305, the transmitting tubes of the first group of infrared sensors transmit signals.
Step S306, judging whether the receiving probes of the first group of infrared sensors receive the reflected signals of the transmitted signals; if yes, go to step S307; if not, go to step S305'.
In some alternative embodiments, step S305' may also be performed if it is determined that the receiving probe of the first group of infrared sensors receives the reflected signal of the signal.
Step S307, judging whether the time length of the receiving probes of the first group of infrared sensors for receiving the reflected signals is greater than a first continuous time length threshold value; if yes, go to step S308; if not, go to step S305.
The first continuous time threshold can be flexibly set according to practical application, such as half an hour.
And step S308, closing the working state of the first group of infrared sensors.
Step S305', the emission tubes of the second group of infrared sensors emit signals.
Step S306', judging whether the receiving probes of the second group of infrared sensors receive the reflected signals of the transmitted signals; if yes, go to step S307'; if not, go to step S305'.
Step S307', judging whether the time length of the receiving probes of the second group of infrared sensors for receiving the reflected signals is greater than a first continuous time length threshold value or not; if yes, go to step S308'; if not, go to step S305.
And step 308', the working state of the second group of infrared sensors is closed.
In some optional embodiments, if the operating states of the first group of infrared sensors and the second group of infrared sensors are both off, it is indicated that there is a long-term obstacle in the use environment of the air conditioner at the positions corresponding to the first group of infrared sensors and the second group of infrared sensors, that is, part or all of the air outlet directions of the first air outlet of the air conditioner face the obstacle, and part or all of the air outlet directions of the second air outlet face the obstacle, and the obstacle will affect the detection performance of the group of infrared sensors, so that it is determined that the use environment of the air conditioner needs to be changed, such as adjusting the placement position of the air conditioner.
It should be understood that, in the various embodiments of the present application, the sequence numbers of the above-mentioned processes do not mean the execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
