The embodiments of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1A and 1B, a first aspect of the present invention provides a control device of an air conditioner.
The control device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a module device provided in an air conditioner. As shown in fig. 1A, the present invention is explained by taking a floor air conditioner as an example, and a control device 100 for the air conditioner includes: a first detecting part 110, a second detecting part 120, and a control part 130; as shown in fig. 1B, the second detecting component 120 is disposed below the first detecting component 110, the first detecting component 110 is capable of acquiring a first distance value between the first detecting component 110 and an obstacle, the second detecting component 120 is capable of acquiring a second distance value between the second detecting component 120 and the obstacle, the controlling component 130 is respectively connected to the first detecting component 110 and the second detecting component 120, the controlling component 130 controls the first detecting component 110 and the second detecting component 120 to scan synchronously along a horizontal direction, and the controlling component 130 is capable of adjusting an operation mode of the air conditioner according to the first distance value and a preset first background distance value in the same direction, and the second distance value and a preset second background distance value. The barrier can be a wall, a baffle, a relatively fixed object (such as a table and the like) or a human body. Alternatively, when no human body is close to the obstacle, the obstacle may be a wall, a baffle, a relatively fixed object (such as a table, etc.); and when a human body approaches, the obstacle can be the human body.
It should be noted that the operation modes include, but are not limited to, a heating mode, a cooling mode, a first air supply mode, a second air supply mode, and the like, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.
In an embodiment, the first detecting component 110 and the second detecting component 120 may be a scanning distance sensor or a distance scanning detecting module, and the embodiment is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the first detecting member 110 and the second detecting member 120 are respectively installed at different heights of the air conditioner, and the second detecting member 120 is disposed below the first detecting member 110, for example, the first detecting member 110 is installed at a height of 1.2 meters of the front panel of the air conditioner, and the second detecting member 120 is installed at a height of 0.7 meters of the front panel of the air conditioner, and the heights at which the first detecting member 110 and the second detecting member 120 are specifically installed are different for different models of air conditioners, and the embodiment does not specifically limit the same. In addition, the first and second detecting parts 110 and 120 scan synchronously in the horizontal direction during operation, and the scanning range is similar to a fan, so that a wide range in front of the air conditioner can be detected. Therefore, when an adult approaches the air conditioner, the first distance value acquired by the first detecting part 110 is a distance value between the first detecting part 110 and the human body, and at the same time, the second distance value acquired by the second detecting part 120 is a distance value between the second detecting part 120 and the human body; when a child approaches the air conditioner, the first distance value obtained by the first detecting element 110 is equal to the first background distance value (because the height of the child is not enough), and meanwhile, the second distance value obtained by the second detecting element 120 is the distance value between the second detecting element 120 and the human body. It should be noted that the preset first background distance value and the preset second background distance value may be obtained by the first detection component 110 and the second detection component 120 respectively in the initialization scanning, so that the first background distance value is a distance between the first detection component 110 and an external object or a wall, and the second background distance value is a distance between the second detection component 120 and an external object or a wall.
In an embodiment, the control unit 130 may be a single chip or a Field Programmable Gate Array (PFGA) chip, and the embodiment is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the control unit 130 synchronously scans the first detecting unit 110 and the second detecting unit 120 along the horizontal direction, and the control unit 130 can determine whether a human body approaches the air conditioner according to the first distance value and the preset first background distance value in the same direction, and the second distance value and the preset second background distance value, and can detect the direction and distance when the human body approaches the air conditioner, so as to correspondingly adjust the operation mode of the air conditioner, so as to control the air conditioner to enter the first air supply mode or the second air supply mode and other modes according to the specific position detection result of the human body, so that an adult feels comfortable or prevents cold air from directly blowing to children.
In one embodiment, the control part 130 may determine whether an adult approaches the air conditioner according to a first distance value and a preset first background distance value in the same direction, and a second distance value and a preset second background distance value, for example, when the first distance value is less than the first background distance value and the second distance value is less than the second background distance value, and the first distance value and the second distance value are substantially equal, the control part 130 determines that an adult approaches the air conditioner and determines a direction and a distance in which an adult approaches, thereby controlling the air conditioner to perform the first air blowing mode. The first air supply mode is adjusted according to the direction and/or the distance, for example, the first air supply air conditioner can automatically adjust the wind direction and the wind speed according to the direction and/or the distance of an adult to make a human body feel comfortable, so that the intelligent control of the air conditioner according to the specific position of the detected human body is realized.
In one embodiment, the control part 130 may determine whether a child approaches the air conditioner according to a first distance value and a preset first background distance value in the same direction, and a second distance value and a preset second background distance value, for example, when the first distance value is equal to the first background distance value and the second distance value is less than the second background distance value, the control part 130 determines that a child approaches the air conditioner and determines a direction and a distance in which the child approaches, thereby controlling the air conditioner to perform the second air blowing mode. The second air supply mode is adjusted according to the direction and/or the distance, for example, the air conditioner can automatically adjust the wind direction and the wind speed according to the direction and/or the distance of a child to avoid cold wind from directly blowing the child, and simultaneously adjust the wind speed according to the direction and/or the distance of the child to keep the position of the child cool, so that the intelligent control of the air conditioner according to the specific position of the detected human body is realized. It should be noted that the second air supply mode refers to preventing cold wind from directly blowing to the child, so as to prevent the child from catching a cold, for example, when the air conditioner is provided with the lower wind wheel or the lower wind guide strip, the control component 130 controls the lower wind wheel of the air conditioner to stop or the lower wind guide strip to close, so that the cold wind is supplied in a direction away from the child, and the wind speed is adjusted according to the distance to keep the child cool, so as to realize the second air supply mode.
In addition, a second aspect of the present invention provides a control method of an air conditioner, the air conditioner being provided with a control device, the control device including a control part, a first detection part and a second detection part disposed below the first detection part, the control part being connected to the first detection part and the second detection part, respectively, the control part controlling the first detection part and the second detection part to scan synchronously in a horizontal direction.

step S220, adjusting an operation mode of the air conditioner according to the first distance value and the preset first background distance value in the same direction, and the second distance value and the preset second background distance value.
It should be noted that the operation modes include, but are not limited to, a heating mode, a cooling mode, a first air supply mode, a second air supply mode, and the like, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited thereto.
In one embodiment, first, the control unit obtains a first distance value output by the first detection unit and a second distance value output by the second detection unit, and then, the control unit can determine whether a human body approaches the air conditioner according to the first distance value in the same direction, a preset first background distance value, the second distance value and a preset second background distance value, and can detect the direction and the distance when the human body approaches the air conditioner, so that the operation mode of the air conditioner can be correspondingly adjusted, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter the first air supply mode or the second air supply mode and the like according to the specific position detection result of the human body, so that an adult feels comfortable or cold wind direct blowing children are avoided.
It should be noted that the scanning ranges of the first and second detecting parts are similar to a fan shape during the scanning in the horizontal direction, so that a wide range in front of the air conditioner can be detected. Therefore, when an adult approaches the air conditioner, the first distance value acquired by the first detecting part 110 is a distance value between the first detecting part 110 and the human body, and at the same time, the second distance value acquired by the second detecting part 120 is a distance value between the second detecting part 120 and the human body; when a child approaches the air conditioner, the first distance value obtained by the first detecting element 110 is equal to the first background distance value (because the height of the child is not enough), and meanwhile, the second distance value obtained by the second detecting element 120 is the distance value between the second detecting element 120 and the human body. It should be noted that the preset first background distance value and the preset second background distance value are obtained by the first detection component and the second detection component respectively in the initialization scanning, so that the first background distance value is a distance between the first detection component and an external object or a wall, and the second background distance value is a distance between the second detection component and an external object or a wall.
In addition, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, wherein the controlling component controls the first detecting component and the second detecting component to synchronously scan along the horizontal direction, specifically:
the control section controls the first detecting section and the second detecting section to perform scanning at a preset angle interval from the initial angle in synchronization.
When the control device is operated, the control component controls the first detection component and the second detection component to synchronously scan at preset angle intervals from the initial angle, for example, the control component may control the first detection component and the second detection component to synchronously scan the range of 120 degrees in front of the air conditioner at intervals of 5 degrees from the initial angle, but the preset angle and the scanning range are not limited in this embodiment. It should be noted that, when the control device starts to work, the first detection component and the second detection component are controlled to first scan and record the distance of the background obstacle in each direction, so as to obtain a first background distance value between the obstacle in front of the current angle and the first detection component, and a second background distance value between the obstacle in front of the current angle and the second detection component, where the obstacle may be an object or a wall. When the control device stops working, the control part can control the first detection part and the second detection part to automatically reset to the initial angle.
In addition, referring to fig. 2B, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method of an air conditioner, the present embodiment is another embodiment of the detailed flow of step S220 in the foregoing embodiment, and the step S220 further includes but is not limited to:
in step S2211, when the first distance value is smaller than the first background distance value, the second distance value is smaller than the second background distance value, and the difference between the first distance value and the second distance value is smaller than the deviation threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the first air blowing mode.
In one embodiment, in the same direction, when the first distance value is smaller than the first background distance value, the second distance value is smaller than the second background distance value, and the first distance value and the second distance value are approximately equal, the control component determines that an adult approaches the air conditioner and determines the direction and the distance of approach of the adult, so that the air conditioner is controlled to execute the first air supply mode, and intelligent control over the air conditioner according to the specific position of the detected human body is achieved. It should be noted that the first blowing mode refers to automatically adjusting the wind speed and direction according to the direction and distance of the human body relative to the air conditioner to make people feel comfortable.
It should be noted that, since the size of the adult has a certain curve, there is a certain deviation between the first distance value and the second distance value in the same direction, but the deviation is less than the deviation threshold, for example, the deviation threshold is within ± 5 cm, it can be determined that the adult is close to the air conditioner, and the deviation threshold is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
In addition, referring to fig. 2C, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a control method of an air conditioner, and this embodiment is another embodiment of a detailed flow of step S220 in the above embodiment, and the step S220 includes but is not limited to:
in step S2212, when the first distance value is equal to the first background distance value and the second distance value is smaller than the second background distance value, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the second air supply mode.
In one embodiment, in the same direction, when the first distance value is equal to the first background distance value and the second distance value is smaller than the second background distance value, the control component determines that a child approaches the air conditioner and determines the direction and the distance of the child approaching, so that the air conditioner is controlled to execute the second air supply mode, and the air conditioner is intelligently controlled according to the specific position of the detected human body. It should be noted that the second air supply mode refers to preventing cold wind from blowing directly to the child, so as to avoid the child catching a cold, for example, when the air conditioner is provided with the lower wind wheel or the lower wind guide strip, the control component controls the lower wind wheel of the air conditioner to stop or the lower wind guide strip to close, so that the cold wind is supplied in the direction away from the child, and the wind speed is adjusted according to the distance to keep the child cool, so as to realize the second air supply mode.
In addition, referring to fig. 2D, fig. 2D is a flowchart of a control method of an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention, after the control device starts working, an initialization operation is first performed, a structure of an initial background distance is completed by obtaining current upper and lower two sets of distance values of the air conditioner, specifically, the control component controls an upper sensor (i.e., a first detection component) and a lower sensor (i.e., a second detection component) to start from an initial angle synchronously, detects a distance in the current direction every 50 milliseconds, and after obtaining a distance value in the current direction, turns to the next angle at preset angle intervals to continue scanning until one time of scanning is completed. After the construction of the initial background distance is completed, the control part continues to control the upper sensor and the lower sensor to synchronously scan according to the preset angle interval so as to detect the difference between the current distance and the background distance. Specifically, if the upper and lower distances in the same direction are both smaller than the background distance and approximately equal, it is determined that the adult is close; if only the distance value detected by the lower sensor is smaller than the background distance value in the same direction, and the distance value detected by the upper sensor is the background distance value, determining that the child approaches; the control component can correspondingly control the air supply of the air conditioner according to the detection result. When the control device stops detecting, the first detection part and the second detection part automatically reset to the initial angle.
