According to the control method of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the indication device is further configured for the configured ion generator, the indication device comprises the light-emitting component and the soft light component which can carry out soft light treatment on the light rays emitted by the light-emitting component, when a user wants to acquire the information corresponding to the ion generator, the light rays with set quality are emitted by the light-emitting component, the light rays are transmitted to the indoor through the soft light component, the light intensity is reduced, the information corresponding to the ion generator is indicated to the user in a soft light mode, and therefore the information can be clearly and conveniently used by the user, the reliability of the user on products can be greatly enhanced, and the user experience is improved.
The information corresponding to the ionizer may be whether the ionizer is configured, and/or the position of the configured ionizer, and/or the operating state of the ionizer, etc.
The ion generator may be configured with the indicating means in such a way that the indicating means is provided at the ion generator, or the indicating means is provided adjacent to the ion generator, etc. The indication means may furthermore be electrically or communicatively connected to the ionizer, such that the indication action of the indication means can be associated with the operation of the ionizer.
It will be appreciated that the light emitting member of the present invention is used to provide the soft light member with the necessary quality light, and the relevant control of the light emitting member allows the user to obtain the information corresponding to the ionizer. However, the light emitted by the light emitting member must be subjected to a softening process via the softening member, and therefore, at least the set position of the softening member should be associated with the set position of the ionizer, so that the set position of the ionizer in the air conditioning indoor unit can be indicated by means of the indicating means; at least the lighting pattern of the lighting means should be associated with the operating state of the ionizer, etc., so that the operating state of the ionizer is indicated by means of the indicating means.
The light emitting member may be arranged in various ways. For example, the light emitting member may be provided at the soft light member, or at the ionizer, or at the housing of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, or the like. The light emitting member may be powered by various means, such as battery power, wire power, etc.
There are many ways in which the soft light member may be arranged. For example, the soft light member may be provided at the ionizer, or may be provided at a housing of the air conditioning indoor unit or the like. There are also various implementations of the structure of the soft light member. The soft light member may include a main body portion for receiving and emitting light emitted from the light emitting member, and a connection portion for connecting the main body portion to a housing of the ionizer or the air conditioning indoor unit. Taking the main body portion as an example, the structure of the main body portion may be a plate-like structure, an umbrella-like structure, a housing-like structure, or the like. In addition, the soft light member may have a soft light effect partially or completely, for example, the soft light member may be made of a light-emitting material, a semi-transparent material, a transparent material, or a combination of the above materials.
The invention provides the soft light component to reduce the light intensity, so that the light entering human eyes is softer, and the strong light is prevented from irritating the human eyes, therefore, when the light emitting component and the soft light component are constructed in a way that part of the light emitted by the light emitting component does not pass through the soft light component and directly enters the human eyes, the indicating device is provided with a structure capable of preventing the light from directly emitting, for example, a light blocking structure is arranged in the direction of direct light.
For the control method of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, in some possible embodiments, the information corresponding to the ionizer can represent an installation position of the ionizer in the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
The installation position of the ion generator in the air conditioner indoor unit is indicated to the user by means of the indication device, so that the user can clearly know that the corresponding air conditioner indoor unit is provided with the ion generator, and can easily know the position of the ion generator, further, the user can use the indoor unit product more safely, the reliability of the user on the product is improved, and the user experience is improved.
It will be appreciated that the action of the indicating means may not be associated with the action of the ionizer when presenting the user with information about the installation position of the ionizer in the air conditioning indoor unit. Specifically, whether or not the ionizer is in an operating state, the indicating device can be independently turned on as needed to indicate the installation position of the ionizer to the user, and this case is suitable for the scenes of sales, maintenance, etc. of the air conditioner. Further, the action of the indication means may be associated with the action of the ionizer, i.e. the indication means is turned on with the ionizer turned on and turned off with the ionizer turned off.
In some possible embodiments, the method for controlling the indoor unit of an air conditioner, the "making the light emitting member emit the light with the set quality" includes: and under the condition that the ionizer is in an operating state, the light emitting component is enabled to emit light rays with set quality.
In this way, an embodiment is provided in which the indication means are associated with the action of the ionizer. When the ion generator is in a working state, the indicating device is operated, and the light emitting component emits light with set quality, so that the light emitting component is closer to the daily requirement of a user, the installation position of the ion generator is indicated to the user, the energy consumption can be saved, and the range of indication information is widened.
It is understood that the light with the set quality may be a light with a fixed quality, such as a light with a constant intensity; or may be a light of varying quality, such as intensity, color temperature, etc., that varies with the operating parameters of the ionizer; or may be an organic combination of the two, etc.
In some possible embodiments, the method for controlling the indoor unit of an air conditioner, the "making the light emitting member emit the light with the set quality" includes: and under the condition that the ionizer is in a working state, the light emitting component emits light with set quality, and the quality and the running parameter of the ionizer have a preset mapping relation.
In this way, an embodiment is provided in which the indicating means is further associated with the action of the ionizer. Through the arrangement, the installation position of the ionizer is indicated to the user, and meanwhile, the running state of the ionizer is shown to the user, so that the information range which can be obtained by the user is increased, the user can comprehensively know the corresponding information of the ionizer, and the reliability of the user to products is improved.
It will be appreciated that there may be various situations where the quality of the light beam has a predetermined mapping relationship with the operating parameters of the ionizer. For example, the air quality is characterized by the operating power of the ionizer, which is relatively poor when the operating power of the ionizer is high, and relatively good when the operating power of the ionizer is low. Thus, the preset mapping relationship may be: when the running power of the ion generator is high, the emitted light is weak light with fixed quality, so that the air quality is poor, and the visual sense that the user is full of the fog is provided; when the running power of the ion generator is smaller, the emitted light is strong light with fixed quality, so that the air quality is higher, and a visual sense with clear visual field is provided for a user; when the running power of the ionizer is smaller, the emitted light is light with continuously alternating brightness, so that the air quality is higher, and a user can feel a feeling of breathing smoothly.
In some possible embodiments, the light emitting member is disposed on the soft light member.
Thus, an arrangement of the light emitting member and the soft light member is provided. By providing the light emitting member to the soft light member, the integration level of the pointing device can be improved.
For example, the soft light member includes a main body portion capable of receiving light emitted from the light emitting member and a connection portion for connecting the main body portion to a housing or an ionizer of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the light emitting member being disposed at the connection portion. The specific arrangement may be that a receiving chamber is provided at the connection portion, and the light emitting member is provided in the receiving chamber. Further, at least a portion of the connection portion at a position corresponding to the accommodation chamber has a light transmitting property so that: a part of light emitted outward from the light emitting member can reach the main body portion. It will be appreciated that the body portion may also include a plurality of sub-portions and the connecting portion may also include a plurality of sub-portions.
In some possible embodiments, the light emitting member and the soft light member are separately disposed.
Thus, an arrangement of the light emitting member and the soft light member is provided.
By arranging the light emitting member and the soft light member separately, the flexibility of the structural design of the soft light member can be increased, so that the soft light effect can be better exerted.
It will be appreciated that when the light emitting member is provided separately from the soft light member, there is a possibility that the light transmission path may leak light, and therefore the light shielding member may be further provided for the light emitting member so as to: at least a portion of the light emitted outward by the light emitting member is shielded to prevent the portion of the light from being emitted to the indoor space. Specifically, the light shielding member may be provided at the ionizer or at a position such as a housing of the air conditioning indoor unit. For example, an installation position may be provided on the air conditioning indoor unit, or an installation position may be provided on the light shielding member, etc., to which the light emitting member is provided.
In some possible embodiments, the soft light member includes a main body portion and a connection portion, and at least the main body portion is capable of receiving light emitted from the light emitting member.
In this way, a way of constructing the soft light member is provided. Thus, by arranging the connecting part, the structure, the arrangement mode and the like of the main body part can be more flexible, and the main body part can better exert the soft light effect.
The structure of the connection portion may be various, and for example, the connection portion for connecting the main body portion and the ionizer may be made into a columnar structure, a rod-like structure, a plate-like structure, a combination of the above structures, or the like. In addition, the connection part can be connected with the structures such as the ionizer or the shell of the indoor unit of the air conditioner in a plugging, clamping and bonding mode.
In some possible embodiments of the control method for an air conditioning indoor unit, an installation area is reserved for the air conditioning indoor unit, and the main body portion is disposed at a position of the air conditioning indoor unit corresponding to the installation area in a manner of increasing a light transmission surface.
By arranging the main body portion of the soft light member at a position of the air conditioning indoor unit corresponding to the installation area in such a manner as to increase the light transmission surface, it is possible to make the user more intuitively and easily acquire information corresponding to the ionizer.
There are various ways to increase the light-transmitting surface, for example, the light-transmitting surface can be made into a non-planar structure. For example, the body portion may be formed as a curved structure, such as a curved structure having an arcuate surface or a corrugated surface, or may be formed as a serpentine structure, or the like.
In a second aspect, the present invention also provides an indoor air conditioner, the indoor air conditioner comprising a memory and a processor, the memory being adapted to store a plurality of program codes, the program codes being adapted to be loaded and run by the processor to perform the control method of the indoor air conditioner according to any one of the preceding claims.

Detailed Description
First, it should be noted that the following embodiments are only for explaining the technical principles of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Next, in the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a better illustration of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without some of these specific details.
In the description of the present invention, terms such as "inner", "outer", "top", "bottom", and the like, indicating directions or positional relationships are based on directions or positional relationships in actual use, and are merely for convenience of description, not to indicate or imply that the apparatus to be protected must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as limiting the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the construction of the ionizer and the sterilization principle will be explained first. The ion generator is a positive and negative ion generator, and the positive and negative ion generator is provided with a positive ion generating electrode and a negative ion generating electrode, so that positive ions and negative ions can be generated simultaneously. The positive ion generating electrode is connected with direct current positive high voltage, the negative ion generating electrode is connected with direct current negative high voltage, and the electrode usually adopts a tungsten needle or a graphite brush. When the two electrodes are electrified, corona is generated between the two electrodes, partial gas molecules in the air are separated from the outer electron of some atoms into free electrons under the action of the corona, and the atoms losing the electrons are positive; the free electrons are negative in polarity, and as the separated free electrons cannot exist in the space independently for a long time, the free electrons can be combined with other nonpolar molecules in the air, so that the part of gas molecules for obtaining electrons are negative in polarity (for example, negative oxygen ions are generated), and the process is called ionization of the air. When negative ions in the air are combined with microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the air, molecular protein structures of the microorganisms such as the bacteria and the viruses are destroyed, so that structural changes or energy transfer are generated, and the microorganisms such as the bacteria and the viruses die, thereby achieving the sterilization effect. Therefore, when the ionizer for sterilization is arranged in the air conditioner, the sterilization effect is better than that of the ultraviolet sterilization module, and positive ions and negative ions generated by the ionizer can be diffused along with any area of the air conditioner in the air outlet direction chamber, so that the indoor omnibearing sterilization is realized.
However, the ionizer configured by the conventional indoor unit of the air conditioner is generally arranged at the air outlet of the indoor unit, and is influenced by the structure at the air outlet, so that a user cannot conveniently or intuitively observe the position of the ionizer, and the running state of the ionizer cannot be known in the running process of the ionizer, and for some users, whether the sterilizing function of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is normally running or not is likely to be doubtful, which is not beneficial to the user to use the product with ease, and further influences the user experience.
Based on the above, the invention provides the air conditioner indoor unit capable of simultaneously indicating the working position and the working state of the ionizer in real time, which is beneficial to users to use the air conditioner products with ease.
An indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

The emission end of the ion generator 20 is provided with ion generating electrodes 211, and the ion generating electrodes 211 include positive ion generating electrodes and negative ion generating electrodes, wherein the number of the positive ion generating electrodes and the number of the negative ion generating electrodes can be the same or different, and when the number of the positive ion generating electrodes and the number of the negative ion generating electrodes are different, the number of the negative ion generating electrodes is preferably larger than the number of the positive ion generating electrodes. As shown in fig. 2, the ion generating electrode 211 in the present embodiment includes two negative ion generating electrodes and one positive ion generating electrode, the positive ion generating electrode and the negative ion generating electrode are adjacent to each other, and the three ion generating electrodes are distributed in a triangle shape. It is understood that the number and arrangement of the positive and negative ion generating electrodes may be other configurations.
When separating fromWhen the ion generator works, the positive ion generating electrode is connected with the positive high-voltage power, the negative ion generating electrode is connected with the negative high-voltage power, and the corona is generated between the tips of the positive electrode and the negative electrode by the high-voltage power, so that the air is ionized, a large number of electrons (e-) are discharged by the negative ion generating electrode at high speed, and the electrons cannot exist in the air for a long time and are immediately separated by oxygen molecules (O) 2 ) Capturing and thereby generating negative oxygen ions of the air, so-called negative ions. Positive ion generating electrode ionizes H in air 2 O, H is generated + Ions, so-called positive ions. The ion generating electrode 211 in this embodiment adopts a tungsten needle that is resistant to electric corrosion, and the tungsten needle is used as the ion generating electrode 211 to ensure that the capability of releasing ions is hardly attenuated. The wiring and electrical components that provide positive and negative high voltage power to the electrodes are integrated on a circuit board that is secured within the housing 210.
The ionizer 20 configured in the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner provided in this embodiment is electrically connected to the indication device 30, and the indication device 30 operates with the operation of the ionizer 20, so that the indication device 30 can indicate the installation position and the operation state of the ionizer 20 at the same time. It will be appreciated that the two may be connected in other ways than electrically, for example by a WIFI module connection or the like.
The indicating device 30 in this embodiment is provided to the ionizer 20. Specifically, the indication device 30 includes a light emitting member (not shown) and a soft light member, the soft light member being connected to the ionizer 20, the light emitting member being disposed within the soft light member. As shown in fig. 2, the soft light member includes a main body portion 310 and a connection portion 320, and the main body portion 310 is connected to the ionizer 20 through the connection portion 320. The main body portion 310 is provided with a Y-shaped plate structure, the connecting portion 320 is provided with a columnar structure, the main body portion 310 of the plate structure is provided with a plurality of plate-shaped cantilevers extending outwards from the middle along the radial direction of the connecting portion 320, the number of the cantilevers is the same as that of the electrodes in the embodiment, the cantilevers are opposite to the tips of the positive and negative ion generating electrodes, and a hollowed-out structure 3101 is arranged at a position corresponding to the tips, and positive/negative ions generated by the tungsten needle electrodes can smoothly enter the air flow due to the hollowed-out structure 3101. The hollow structure 3101 in this embodiment is implemented as vias formed at the free ends of the cantilevers, respectively. The design mode of combining the cantilever and the through hole can ensure that the soft light component realizes the soft light effect and simultaneously avoid single and clumsy visual feeling to a user.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the connection portion 320 of the soft light member is of a columnar structure, the ionizer 20 is provided with a mounting position 212 in advance at one end where the tungsten needle is disposed, and the connection portion 320 of the columnar structure can be mounted at the mounting position 212, thereby realizing connection of the soft light member and the ionizer 20. The connection portion 320 of the columnar structure is provided with a receiving chamber (not shown) at a side near the ionizer 20, and a light emitting member (not shown) is provided in the receiving chamber. The light emitting member includes a lamp bead and a power source, which is a battery, for example, a button cell. The light emitting member is capable of emitting light toward various orientations of the receiving chamber, which may extend to the inside of the ionizer 20 or may be located entirely outside of the ionizer 20.
The material of the connection portion 320 may be the same as that of the main portion 310, for example, a light emitting material is used for all the connection portions, or only the main portion 310 is made of a light emitting material. In this embodiment, the main body portion 310 and the connecting portion 320 are integrally formed and made of the same light-emitting material, so that a receiving cavity can be conveniently formed, and the light-emitting member can be conveniently mounted, and the receiving cavity is formed on one side of the connecting portion 320 close to the ionizer 20.
Alternatively, the receiving cavity may be disposed on a side of the connection portion 320 near the main portion 310, and the connection portion 320 is disposed in an open structure at a position facing the main portion 310, so that when the connection portion 320 is disposed separately from the main portion 310 and made of different materials, for example, when the connection portion 320 is made of a light-impermeable material, a portion of light emitted from the light emitting member can smoothly reach the main portion 310 through the open structure, thereby achieving a soft light effect.

In this embodiment, a relatively poor air quality is indicated when the operating power of the ionizer is high, and a relatively good air quality is indicated when the operating power of the ionizer is low. Therefore, when the running power of the ionizer is high, the light emitted by the light emitting component is weak light with fixed quality, so that the air quality is poor, and the visual sense that the user is full of the fog is provided; when the running power of the ionizer is smaller, the light emitted by the light emitting component is light with continuously alternating brightness, so that the air quality is higher at the moment, and a feeling of smooth breathing is provided for a user.
S203, controlling the action of the light emitting component based on the determined light emitting quality.
After determining how the light emitting member is to be operated with the ionizer, it is sufficient to operate.
