Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an air supply method of a fresh air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the air conditioner at least comprises a shell, and a processor, a fan blade and a motor which are arranged in the shell, wherein the fan blade is in transmission connection with the motor, the fan blade can rotate under the driving action of the motor, and the processor is in communication connection with the motor. In an embodiment, the method of the present embodiment may be applied to a processor on an indoor unit of an air conditioner, and for convenience of description, the method is hereinafter referred to as an air conditioner.
As shown in fig. 1, the method may include the steps of:
step S101: and acquiring the state parameters of the air conditioner.
Step S102: and if the air conditioner is in a standby state, and the standby time reaches a first time, controlling the fan blades to rotate to supply air, wherein the standby time is the time when the air conditioner is in the standby state.
In one embodiment, the state parameter of the air conditioner may indicate that the air conditioner is in a standby state or in an operating mode.
The standby state refers to a state in which the power supply of the air conditioner is turned on but does not perform substantial work (the substantial work includes heating, cooling, fresh air, dehumidification, humidification and the like). The operation mode refers to that the air conditioner performs substantial operation, and may include a cooling mode, a heating mode, a fresh air mode, a dehumidification mode, a humidification mode, and the like. Generally, a user can control the air conditioner to enter a standby state or exit the standby state to enter an operating mode through a power button on a remote controller of the air conditioner.
In one embodiment, the air conditioner may monitor its own status parameters, and if it is detected that the air conditioner enters the standby state from the operation mode, a timer is started from entering the standby state, so as to determine the standby time length for entering the standby state. For example, when the air conditioner enters the standby state, a timer for recording the standby time length may be started, and the standby time length for the air conditioner to enter the standby state may be determined according to the time length of the timer.
In one embodiment, the air conditioner may determine whether the standby period of time reaches a first period of time. The first duration may be determined in various ways, for example, may be specified by a user, or may be determined according to relevant parameters such as a floor area, a number of houses, and the like. Optionally, the first time period is not fixed and may be adjusted according to actual conditions. For example, the first duration may be in the range of 10-60 minutes, such as 20 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.
For example, the air conditioner may set a timer with a first duration when entering the standby state, and in response to the timeout of the timer, it may be determined that the standby duration reaches the first duration, so as to control the fan blade of the air conditioner to rotate to supply air.
Generally, the carbon dioxide in the air is denser and generally sinks to the bottom of the house, so the carbon dioxide concentration is higher in the human activity area at the bottom of the house and lower at the top of the house. According to the method in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner can automatically control the fan blades to rotate to supply air when the standby time reaches the first time, so that the air flow in the house is accelerated, the carbon dioxide concentration in the house is uniformly adjusted, namely, the difference between the carbon dioxide concentrations at the bottom and the top of the house is small, and the carbon dioxide concentration at the bottom of the house is reduced.
The method in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 utilizes the characteristic that carbon dioxide is easy to deposit, and reduces the concentration of carbon dioxide in the active area of the human body by a common air-conditioning air supply mode. Compared with a fresh air system, the method has the advantages that the air quality is improved by a low-cost and high-efficiency method, and the user experience is improved.
In the related art, an air conditioner generally further includes an air deflector, and the air deflector is turned on in a conventional cooling, heating or blowing mode, so as to achieve a better effect.
In one embodiment, unlike the related art in which the air conditioner opens the air deflector when the fan blades rotate in the air supply mode, in the present embodiment, the air conditioner keeps the air deflector of the air conditioner closed during the process of controlling the fan blades to rotate to supply air, so that the wind generated by the rotation of the fan blades can be emitted from the gaps around the air deflector.
Therefore, according to the method of the embodiment, the air conditioner can supply air without the user feeling, and on the basis of reducing the indoor carbon dioxide concentration, the misunderstanding of the user is avoided, and the influence on the user feeling due to the overlarge wind power is also avoided.
In one embodiment, the air conditioner can control the fan blades to rotate continuously for a second time period, and after the second time period, the air conditioner can control the fan blades to stop rotating and enter the standby state again. For example, the second period of time may be in the range of 2-10 minutes, such as 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and so forth. In one embodiment, the air conditioner may start timing at the beginning of the rotation of the control blades, thereby determining the time length for the rotation of the control blades. For example, the air conditioner may start the timer for the rotation duration of the fan blade when the fan blade is controlled to rotate. Or the air conditioner can start a timer with the second time length when the fan blades are controlled to rotate, and when the timer is overtime, the air conditioner controls the fan blades to stop rotating and enter the standby state again.
In an embodiment, the air conditioner enters the standby state again after controlling the fan blades to stop rotating, that is, stopping air supply, so that the air conditioner can determine the standby time of the air conditioner entering the standby state based on the method of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and continue to control the fan blades to rotate when the condition is met, which is not described herein again.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner does not control the fan blade to rotate to supply air under the instruction of the user, but automatically executes the air conditioner in the standby state, and therefore, according to the method in this embodiment, the air conditioner can automatically control the fan blade to stop rotating after controlling the fan blade to rotate for the second time period, which not only can save energy consumption, but also can avoid influencing the user experience.
In one embodiment, the air conditioner can control the fan blades to rotate within a preset low-noise rotating speed range, so that the volume generated by the rotation of the fan blades is lower than a preset threshold value.
The low-noise rotation speed range may also be referred to as a mute rotation speed range, that is, a rotation speed range of the air conditioner in the mute mode, for example, the range may be 400RPM (revolutions per minute) to 600RPM, which may be determined according to the model of the air conditioner, and this embodiment is not limited.
In one example, in the process of controlling the rotation of the fan blades, the air conditioner can dynamically adjust the rotation speed of the fan blades within a preset low-noise rotation speed range, for example, the rotation speed is dynamically adjusted within a range of 400RPM to 600RPM, so that air supply can be more flexibly performed according to actual conditions. In another example, the air conditioner may select a fixed rotation speed within the low noise rotation speed range, and control the rotation of the fan blades according to the rotation speed, for example, 400RPM, 500RPM, 600RPM, or the like may be selected, and the rotation of the fan blades may be controlled according to the fixed rotation speed, thereby simplifying the control flow and performing stable air supply.
It should be noted that, the wind speed (or wind power) of the wind supplied by the fan blades rotating based on the low-noise rotating speed is usually smaller, and the overall energy consumption of the air conditioner is also lower. Therefore, according to the embodiment, the air conditioner can supply air without perception of a user, so that the influence on the user experience caused by overlarge wind power or overlarge noise is avoided on the basis of reducing the indoor carbon dioxide concentration and improving the air quality, and the energy consumption can be saved.
In one embodiment, the air conditioner may determine the first time period and the second time period according to a number of preset parameter determinations. Wherein the preset parameter may include at least one of: the area of the house where the air conditioner is located, the number of people in the house where the air conditioner is located, and the floor of the house where the air conditioner is located.
Optionally, the value of the preset parameter may be specified by a user, for example, the user sets the area of a house where the air conditioner is located and the floor of the house where the air conditioner is located during initialization. Meanwhile, in order to simplify the process, the user can set the number of the people living normally in the house, and the subsequent air conditioner can directly regard the number of the people living normally as the number of the people in the house, namely, the number of the people living normally in the house is taken as a preset parameter.
Optionally, the air conditioner may also determine the value of the preset parameter by itself. Taking the number of people in the house where the air conditioner is located as an example, the intelligent camera in the house can count the number of people entering and exiting the house, and the air conditioner can obtain the statistical data of the intelligent camera, so that the number of people in the house can be determined.
In one embodiment, after determining the preset parameter, the air conditioner may determine the first time period and the second time period according to the preset parameter. In one embodiment, the determination may be made as follows:
for example, if the preset parameter includes an area of a house where the air conditioner is located, the carbon dioxide concentration is less likely to increase as the house area is larger, so the first time period is positively correlated with the area, and the second time period is negatively correlated with the area.
For example, if the preset parameter includes the number of people in a house where an air conditioner is located, the concentration of carbon dioxide is likely to increase as the number of people increases, so that the first time length is negatively related to the number of people, and the second time length is positively related to the number of people.
For example, if the preset parameter includes a floor of a house where the air conditioner is located, the higher the floor is, the higher the overall air quality is, so that the first time period is positively correlated with the area, and the second time period is negatively correlated with the area.
For example, if the preset parameters include the area of a house where the air conditioner is located, the number of people in the house where the air conditioner is located, and the floor of the house where the air conditioner is located, the first time period and the second time period may be calculated by the following formulas:
wherein S is the area of the house where the air conditioner is located, N is the number of people in the house where the air conditioner is located, and F is the floor of the house where the air conditioner is located. k. k' is a proportionality coefficient, which can be set according to actual conditions, and can be a constant different from 0, such as 1, 2, 3, etc.; b. b' is a constant term; the constant may be set according to actual conditions, and may be any constant, for example, -1, 0, 1, or the like.
In one embodiment, the room area is 12 square meters, the floor is 3 floors, and people live 1 person, the first time period may be 15 minutes, and the second time period may be 5 minutes, for example, an air conditioner may blow 5 minutes every 15 minutes. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating another method for supplying air by a fresh air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, if the air conditioner is in a standby state, the method may further include the steps of:
step S201: acquiring the concentration of carbon dioxide at a specified position in a house where an air conditioner is located; the designated position is matched with the height of the human body.
In one embodiment, the house in which the air conditioner is located is installed with a detection device for detecting the concentration of carbon dioxide, and the detection device can detect the concentration of carbon dioxide at a specified location.
The designated position can be matched with the height of a human body, and if the person in the house mainly stands, the designated position can be matched with the height of the human body, for example, the designated position can be in the height range of 1.5-1.8 m; if the person in the house is mainly sitting or lying, the designated position may be adapted to the height of sitting or lying, for example, the designated position may be in the height range of 0.5-1.1 meters, etc.
It should be noted that the above indicated position is only an exemplary one, and the present embodiment is not limited to the specific one as long as the carbon dioxide concentration in the range of motion of the person in the house can be measured more accurately.
In one embodiment, the air conditioner may obtain the carbon dioxide concentration detected by the detection device.
Step S202: and if the concentration of the carbon dioxide is higher than a first threshold value, controlling the fan blade to rotate.
In one embodiment, the air conditioner may determine whether the carbon dioxide concentration is above a first threshold. The first threshold is preset, for example, the first threshold can be set to 1000PPM, and when the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is higher than 1000PPM, the human body feels uncomfortable. It should be noted that, this is only an exemplary description, and the specific setting may be set according to actual situations, and this embodiment is not limited.
In one embodiment, if it is determined that the carbon dioxide concentration is higher than the first threshold, the fan is directly controlled to rotate, that is, the air conditioner controls the fan to rotate in advance before the standby time period reaches the first time period.
It should be noted that, the air conditioner starts timing when entering the standby state, and if the fan blade is controlled to rotate before reaching the first time length due to the fact that the carbon dioxide concentration is determined to be higher than the first threshold value, the timing is stopped, and the timing is started again when entering the standby state next time.
According to the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the air conditioner can control the fan blades to rotate in advance to supply air according to the real-time carbon dioxide concentration, so that the air quality is improved, and the discomfort of a human body caused by the overhigh carbon dioxide concentration in a house is avoided.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating another method for supplying air by a fresh air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, if the duration of the continuous rotation of the fan blade reaches the second duration, before the fan blade is controlled to stop rotating and enter the standby state again, the method further includes the following steps:
step S301: acquiring the concentration of carbon dioxide at a specified position in a house where an air conditioner is located; the designated position is matched with the height of the human body.
In one embodiment, if the air conditioner fan blade continues to rotate for a second period of time, the air conditioner can obtain the carbon dioxide concentration in the house. For example, the air conditioner may acquire the carbon dioxide concentration at a specified location by a carbon dioxide detection device in a house. Here, the manner of designating the location and acquiring the carbon dioxide concentration by the air conditioner is similar to that in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and is not described again here.
Step S302: and if the concentration of the carbon dioxide is lower than a second threshold value, controlling the fan blade to stop rotating and enter the standby state again.
In one embodiment, if the air conditioner determines that the carbon dioxide concentration at the designated position is lower than the second threshold value, the fan blade can be controlled to stop rotating and enter the standby state again.
The second threshold is preset, and may be the same as the first threshold, for example, 1000PPM, or may be lower than the first threshold, for example, 800 PPM.
In one embodiment, the second threshold may be determined by the lowest concentration of carbon dioxide that can be reached at a given location in the premises. Wherein the minimum concentration of carbon dioxide can be determined by the following method: after the air conditioner controls the fan blades to rotate, the carbon dioxide concentration is continuously detected, and if the change of the carbon dioxide concentration tends to be smooth, for example, the concentration change per minute is lower than a preset threshold (for example, 50PPM), the carbon dioxide concentration obtained by the last detection is regarded as the minimum carbon dioxide concentration.
In one embodiment, the second threshold may be determined based on a minimum concentration of carbon dioxide. For example, the minimum carbon dioxide concentration may be used as the second threshold, or k times (e.g., 1.1 times, 1.2 times, etc.) the minimum carbon dioxide concentration may be used as the second threshold, or a variation (e.g., 50PPM, 100PPM, etc.) may be added to the minimum carbon dioxide concentration to be used as the second threshold, etc.
In one embodiment, if the concentration of the carbon dioxide is not lower than a second threshold value, the fan blade is controlled to continue rotating. That is, if the carbon dioxide concentration is not lower than the second threshold, the air conditioner may extend the period of time during which the fan blades rotate, instead of fixedly stopping the rotation of the fan blades when the second period of time is reached.
For example, the air conditioner may control the fan blade to continue to rotate for a second time period, and after the second time period, detect the carbon dioxide concentration again according to the method described in the above embodiment, and determine whether to control the fan blade to stop rotating; or the air conditioner can control the fan blades to continuously rotate to supply air, continuously detect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air supply process, and if the concentration of the carbon dioxide is lower than a second threshold value, the air conditioner controls the fan blades to stop rotating and enter a standby state.
According to the embodiment shown in fig. 3, if the fan blade rotation time reaches the second time, the air conditioner determines the carbon dioxide concentration at the designated position before controlling the fan blade to stop rotating. If the concentration of the carbon dioxide is lower than the second threshold value, the air conditioner controls the fan blades to stop rotating; and if the concentration of the carbon dioxide is not lower than the second threshold value, delaying the rotation time of the fan blades by the air conditioner. From this, the air conditioner can be according to the thick nimble control fan blade rotation of carbon dioxide long, avoids long not enough and lead to carbon dioxide concentration too high because of the air supply, further improves the air quality when blowing through the extension.
It should be noted that the fresh air conditioner air supply method according to any of the above embodiments is applicable to the basis of no indication of the user. That is, the priority indicated by the user is higher than any judgment in the above embodiments, and if the user indicates that the air conditioner enters the cooling or heating operation mode, the method in the above embodiments may be suspended, and after the user turns off the air conditioner, that is, the air conditioner enters the standby state, the air is blown again by the method in the above embodiments.
