The process of operating the mosquito repellent function of the air conditioner will be described with reference to fig. 1 and 2.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The air conditioner 1 includes a mosquito repellent module 10. The mosquito repelling module 10 is arranged at the air outlet of the air conditioner 1. Therefore, the air conditioner can be used for repelling mosquitoes by means of air outlet of the air conditioner, and the mosquito repelling effect can be optimized.

Optionally, the air conditioner 1 further comprises a display module 11. Therefore, the user can visually see the current mosquito repelling situation through the display module.

In the practical application process, after the circuit control device 103 receives the opening signal sent by the processor, the sliding cover 102 is controlled to open, and the mosquito repellent essence in the mosquito repellent essence storage box 101 is released to the air, so that the mosquito repellent function is realized.

Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a method for controlling an air conditioner to repel mosquitoes, including:

and S301, the processor responds to a starting instruction of the mosquito repelling function to obtain the space volume and the mosquito density of the space where the air conditioner is located.

And S302, determining the target release speed of the mosquito repellent essence according to the space volume and the mosquito density by the processor.

And S303, the processor controls the mosquito repelling module to be started, and releases the mosquito repelling essence at a target release speed.

By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner to repel mosquitoes, the target release speed of the mosquito repelling essence is determined according to the mosquito density and the space volume in the space where the air conditioner is located under the condition that the air conditioner needs to repel mosquitoes. Therefore, the mosquito repelling process is directly related to the actual condition of the space where the air conditioner is located, and the release speed of the mosquito repelling essence is changed along with the change of the actual condition, so that the accurate control of the mosquito repelling process of the air conditioner is realized, the mosquito repelling effect is optimized, and the actual requirements of users are met.

Alternatively, the start instruction of the mosquito repellent function may be an instruction directly given by the user. Specifically, the user can issue a starting instruction of the mosquito repelling function through a remote controller, application software and the like. Therefore, the mosquito repelling function can be started at any time when the user needs to repel mosquitoes, and the practical requirements of the user can be met.

Alternatively, the start instruction of the mosquito repellent function may be a start instruction automatically generated according to the current situation. For example, in the case where it is detected that the density of mosquitoes in a room reaches a preset value, or the current time is a preset mosquito repelling time, the start instruction is automatically generated. Therefore, the mosquito can be repelled without manual operation of a user, the user operation is simplified, and the user experience is optimized.

Optionally, the processor obtaining the volume of the space in which the air conditioner is located includes: the processor determines the space volume of the space in which the air conditioner is located through the sensor. Specifically, length information of each direction of the space where the air conditioner is located is obtained through the sensor, and the processor calculates the space volume of the space where the air conditioner is located according to the length information. More specifically, the length, width, and height of the space in which the air conditioner is located may be detected by a distance sensor, an image sensor, or the like, and after the length, width, and height are obtained by the processor, the volume is calculated. If the space where the air conditioner is located has a large partition, such as a bookcase, the sum of the volumes of the spaces where the air circulates needs to be calculated as the volume of the space where the air conditioner is located. Therefore, the accurate space volume can be automatically obtained, and the follow-up mosquito repelling process of the air conditioner can be accurately set.

Optionally, the processor obtaining the volume of the space in which the air conditioner is located includes: the processor obtains the space volume of the space where the air conditioner is located, which is input by the user. Specifically, the volume of the space may be directly input by the user, or the length of the room may be input by the user. The information of width, height, etc. is then calculated by the processor. Therefore, the accurate space volume can be obtained without an external sensor, and the accuracy of the release speed of the mosquito repellent essence is ensured.

Optionally, the processor obtains the mosquito density of the space where the air conditioner is located, including: the processor captures the frequency of reflected waves and sound waves of indoor objects through a microwave radar arranged indoors, and determines the density of mosquitoes in the space according to the frequency of the reflected waves and the sound waves. Therefore, the mosquito density in the space where the air conditioner is located can be accurately obtained, and the mosquito repelling function can be operated more accurately.

Optionally, the processor controlling the mosquito repelling module to be opened comprises: the processor sends an opening signal to the circuit control device of the mosquito repelling module, and the circuit control device controls the sliding cover of the mosquito repelling module to open to release mosquito repelling essence.

With reference to fig. 4, another method for controlling an air conditioner to repel mosquitoes is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and includes:

s401, the processor responds to a starting instruction of the mosquito repelling function, and obtains the space volume and the mosquito density of the space where the air conditioner is located.

S402, the processor determines an initial release speed according to the mosquito density.

S403, the processor determines a correction coefficient according to the space volume.

S404, the processor calculates the target release speed of the mosquito repellent essence as the product of the initial release speed and the correction coefficient.

S405, the processor controls the mosquito repelling module to be started, and releases the mosquito repelling essence at the target release speed.

Optionally, the processor determining the initial release rate as a function of the mosquito density comprises: the processor determines that the initial release rate is positively correlated with mosquito density.

Optionally, the processor determining that the initial release rate is positively correlated with mosquito density comprises: the processor determines that the initial release speed is a first initial release speed when the mosquito density is less than or equal to a first preset density. In a case where the mosquito density is greater than the first mosquito density and less than the second mosquito density, the processor determines the initial release rate to be a second initial release rate. In a case where the mosquito density is greater than or equal to the second mosquito density, the processor determines the initial release rate to be a third initial release rate. Wherein the first mosquito density is less than the second mosquito density, the first initial release speed is less than the second initial release speed, and the second initial release speed is less than the third initial release speed.

Alternatively, the mosquito density may numerically represent the number of mosquitoes in the space where the air conditioner is located. In this way, the calculation process is simplified while the actual situation can be reflected.

The determination of the initial release rate is described herein by way of example. In the case where the number of mosquitoes is less than or equal to 3, the processor determines that the initial release rate is 0.005ml/min. In the case where the number of mosquitoes is greater than 3 and less than 6, the processor determines the initial release rate to be 0.01ml/min. In the case where the number of mosquitoes is greater than 6, the processor determines the initial release rate to be 0.015ml/min.

Optionally, the processor determining the correction factor according to the spatial volume comprises: the processor determines that the correction factor is positively correlated with the spatial volume.

Optionally, the processor determining that the correction factor is positively correlated with the spatial volume comprises: in the case where the spatial volume is within the preset volume range, the processor determines the correction coefficient to be 1. In the case where the spatial volume is less than the preset volume range, the processor determines that the correction factor is less than 1. In the case where the spatial volume is greater than the preset volume range, the processor determines that the correction factor is greater than 1. It will be appreciated that the initial release rate is calculated under the precondition of a standard spatial volume. The standard spatial volume belongs to the preset volume range. When the space of the air conditioner is large in volume, the target release speed is properly increased, so that the mosquito repelling effect is guaranteed. And when the volume of the space where the air conditioner is located is small, the target release speed is appropriately reduced. When guaranteeing the mosquito repellent effect, avoid releasing too much mosquito repellent quintessence to avoid causing harmful effects to indoor personnel, also can avoid unnecessary extravagant simultaneously.

For example, the predetermined volume range is greater than 20m ² And less than 40m ² . Volume in space is less than or equal to 20m ² In the case of (2), the processor determines the correction coefficient to be 0.8. Has a spatial volume of more than 20m ² And less than 40m ² In case (2), the processor determines the correction coefficient to be 1. Volume in space is greater than or equal to 40m ² In the case of (2), the processor determines the correction coefficient to be 1.2.

With reference to fig. 5, another method for controlling an air conditioner to repel mosquitoes is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and includes:

s501, the processor responds to a starting instruction of the mosquito repelling function, and obtains the temperature, the space volume and the mosquito density of the space where the air conditioner is located.

S502, the processor determines the target release speed of the mosquito repelling essence according to the space volume and the mosquito density, and determines the operation time of the mosquito repelling module according to the temperature.

And S503, the processor controls the mosquito repelling module to be started, and releases the mosquito repelling essence at a target release speed.

And S504, after the running time is long, the processor controls the mosquito repelling module to be automatically closed.

By adopting the method for controlling the air conditioner to repel mosquitoes, the temperature, the space volume and the mosquito density of the space where the air conditioner is located are obtained under the condition that the air conditioner needs to repel mosquitoes, the mosquito repelling essence is controlled to be released at the target release speed according to the space volume and the mosquito density, and the release time of the mosquito repelling essence is limited according to the temperature. Therefore, the release speed and the release duration of the mosquito repelling essence are directly related to the current scene, and change along with the change of each parameter in the scene, so that the accuracy of the mosquito repelling process is improved, and the mosquito repelling effect is optimized. In addition, after the running time is long, the mosquito repelling module is automatically closed, manual control by a user is not needed, and the operation of the user is simplified.

Optionally, the processor determining the operation duration of the mosquito repelling module according to the temperature includes: the processor determines that the operation time length of the mosquito repelling module is positively correlated with the temperature. In a certain temperature range, the higher the temperature is, the higher the activity of mosquitoes is, and mosquitoes are difficult to kill. Therefore, when the temperature is higher, the running time of the mosquito repelling module is properly prolonged, and the mosquito repelling effect is optimized.

Optionally, the determining, by the processor, that the operating time duration of the mosquito repelling module is directly correlated with the temperature includes: and under the condition that the temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature threshold value, the processor determines the operation time of the mosquito repelling module as the first operation time. And under the condition that the temperature is greater than the first temperature threshold and less than the second temperature threshold, the processor determines that the operation time of the mosquito repelling module is the second operation time. And under the condition that the temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the processor determines that the running time of the mosquito repelling module is a third running time. The first temperature threshold is smaller than the second temperature threshold, the first operation time length is smaller than the second operation time length, and the second operation time length is smaller than the third operation time length.

Here, an exemplary description is made of the above-described process of determining the operation time period of the mosquito repellent module according to the temperature. The first run length is 0.5 hours at a temperature of 15 ℃ or less. The second run was for 1 hour at a temperature greater than 15 ℃ and less than 25 ℃. The third run length was 1.5 hours at a temperature greater than or equal to 25 ℃.

Optionally, after the processor determines the operation duration of the mosquito repelling module according to the temperature, the method further comprises: the processor makes a correction to the run length based on the mosquito density and/or the volume of space. For example, the higher the mosquito density, the longer the run length. The larger the volume of space, the longer the run length.

Optionally, after the processor determines the operation duration of the mosquito repelling module according to the temperature, the method further includes: and the processor corrects the running time according to the layout of the space where the air conditioner is located.

Optionally, the processor modifying the operation duration according to the layout of the space where the air conditioner is located includes: the processor determines that the operation time period is extended in case that the aspect ratio of the space where the air conditioner is located exceeds a preset ratio. The same volume of space, if the aspect ratio is too large, it will take longer to spread the repellent essence throughout the space. Therefore, the appropriate extension of the running time is beneficial to the diffusion and the propagation of the mosquito repellent essence, and further beneficial to the optimization of the mosquito repellent effect.

Optionally, the processor modifying the operation duration according to the layout of the space where the air conditioner is located includes: in the case where the air conditioner has a large obstacle inside the space, the processor determines that the operation time period is extended. The arrangement of the large-sized barrier in the space where the air conditioner is located can block the diffusion of mosquito repellent essence to a certain extent, and is not beneficial to repelling mosquitoes. Therefore, the mosquito repelling effect can be optimized by properly prolonging the operation time.

The determination of the large obstacle may be performed according to the volume and/or area of the obstacle. That is, after the volume threshold or the area threshold is set, if the volume is larger than the volume threshold or the area is larger than the area threshold, it is determined that the obstacle is large, and the operation time length is adjusted.

Further, the adjustment range of the operation time length can be determined according to the size of the large obstacle volume or area. The larger the volume or area, the longer the run length. Like this, can make the adjustment to the length of operation of mosquito repellent function according to actual conditions to optimize the mosquito repellent effect, and then promote user experience.

Optionally, after the running time period, the method further includes: the processor obtains the current mosquito density in the space where the air conditioner is located. And under the condition that the mosquito density is greater than or equal to the preset density threshold value, the processor controls the mosquito repelling module to keep an opening state. Wherein the preset density threshold may be 0. Therefore, the mosquito repelling effect of the air conditioner can be further ensured.
