Example 1

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for controlling an air conditioner.

1 is a flow chart of a method of controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes the following steps:

In step S102, the current ambient temperature is detected.

In the technical solution provided in the above step S102 of the present application, the current ambient temperature is detected.

During the control of the air conditioner, detecting the current ambient temperature, that is, detecting the current temperature of the environment in which the air conditioner is located, can detect the current temperature in the non-uniform thermal environment, for example, for the household air conditioner, detecting the time in the room Ambient temperature. The current ambient temperature can be detected by a sensor installed on the air conditioner to determine a preset temperature range in which the air conditioner is located. For example, the preset temperature range in which the air conditioner is located is a partial temperature range in a biased environment, or The preset temperature range is the colder temperature range in a colder environment.

The degree of response of different parts to cold and thermal stimuli is different at the current ambient temperature of the human body at different preset temperature ranges. Due to the presence of temperature sensors in the human skin layer, temperature changes in the external environment can be felt through the temperature sensor, giving the human body an overall temperature experience. According to the dynamic stimulating response characteristics of the temperature sensor to cold stimulation and thermal stimulation, the temperature sensor can be divided into two types: cold sensor and thermal sensor. Among them, the cold receptors are also extremely cold, and the thermal receptors are also hot spots. The distribution density of cold receptors and thermal receptors in human skin is different. Table 1 is a table of cold spot and hot spot distribution density (pieces/cm ² ) of various parts of a human body according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Table 1 Table of cold spot and hot spot distribution density (number / cm ² ) of various parts of the human body

It can be seen from Table 1 that the distribution density of the cold receptor and the thermal receptor in the human skin are different. Specifically, the number of cold receptors distributed in human skin is greater than the number of thermal receptors in human skin. The positional distribution and density distribution of the thermal receptors also determine that the body's response to cold sensations is more sensitive than to thermal sensations. Because different parts of the human body respond differently to cold and heat stimuli, under the hot and cold stimulation, the most sensitive parts in the hot environment are the head, back and chest, that is, in the hot environment, the human head The local thermal sensation of the part, back, and chest has a greater weight on the overall thermal sensation; while the most sensitive part in the cold environment is the head, thigh, calf, and hand, that is, in a cold environment. The local thermal sensation of the human head, thighs, calves and hands has a greater weighting effect on the overall thermal sensation.

The embodiment can detect the current ambient temperature, combine different degrees of response of different parts of the human body to cold and heat stimulation, and improve the thermal comfort brought by the air conditioner to the human body through local thermal stimulation.

Step S104, determining control parameters for controlling at least two air outlets of the air conditioner according to the current ambient temperature.

In the technical solution provided in the above step S104 of the present application, the control parameters for controlling at least two air outlets of the air conditioner are determined according to the current ambient temperature.

After detecting the current ambient temperature, the control parameters for controlling the at least two air outlets of the air conditioner are determined according to the current ambient temperature. The control parameters may include parameters such as the air temperature, the turbulence coefficient, the air flow rate, the air outlet angle, and the air outlet state, which are not limited herein. The control parameter of this embodiment can be used to reflect the buoyancy/drop force of the air, and is used to control the airflow organization corresponding to the output of the air conditioner. For example, the control airflow organization form is bent from top to bottom, curved from bottom to top, and the like. .

The air conditioner is provided with at least two air outlets, and the control parameters of the at least two air outlets are affected by the positions of the at least two air outlets on the air conditioner. According to the distribution of the local sensitive position of the human body, the at least two air outlets of the air conditioner adopt a layered air outlet layout, that is, the at least two air outlets are located at different heights of the air conditioner.

The human body's response to the thermal environment embodies the physiological characteristics of the human body's thermal adaptation and thermal regulation. This embodiment combines the special thermal response characteristics of the human body under temperature-changing environment to design the air-conditioning airflow organization design and control strategy. Under the action of cold and heat stimulation, when the current ambient temperature is within the range of the hot ambient temperature, the most sensitive part of the human body is roughly the head, the back, and the chest, which are in the upper part of the human body; and the current ambient temperature is in the cold ambient temperature range. At the time, the most sensitive parts of the human body are the head, thighs, calves and hands, which are at the upper and lower parts of the human body. The at least two air outlets of this embodiment may include an upper air outlet and a lower air outlet.

When the current ambient temperature is within the range of the hot ambient temperature, the air conditioner cools down dynamically, and the air is blown from the upper air outlet, so that the air can be cooled locally on the upper part of the human body, for example, at least the head, the back, the chest, and the like of the human body. Sending cold air to cool down, so that the overall cold feeling of the human body can be quickly improved by local cold stimulation, so that the human body feels cool and feels comfortable quickly; when the current ambient temperature is in the cold ambient temperature range, the air conditioner heats up dynamically, and the upper air outlet And the lower air outlet to supply air, so that the upper and lower parts of the human body can be warmed up, for example, at least the body's head and lower limbs are heated by local heating, thereby rapidly improving the overall cold feeling of the human body through local thermal stimulation. The human body feels warmer faster and achieves comfort.

The height of the at least two air outlets of the embodiment from the preset plane may be determined according to the parameters of the human body, the air lift force, the average wind speed of the tuyere, and the like. For example, to obtain the average height of the target population; under the action of cold and heat stimulation, the most sensitive part of the human body in the hot environment is roughly the head, the back, and the chest; and in the cold environment, the most sensitive part of the human body is the head. , thighs, calves and hands; determine the average wind speed of the air conditioning outlets of household air conditioners; in addition, due to changes in density caused by changes in air temperature, it is necessary to consider the effects of air lift or drop force. Optionally, during the heating process of the air conditioner, at least the lower warm air within the preset distance range of the air conditioner can cover the human calf and the thigh portion, and if it is a child, the body can be covered substantially; The heat transfer calculation, the height of the tuyere center of the lower air outlet of the air conditioner from the ground should be within a first preset distance range, for example, within a first preset distance range of less than 50 cm, preferably at a first preset distance The range is between 30 and 50 cm; The height of the center of the tuyere of the upper air outlet from the ground should be within a second preset distance. For example, the second preset distance ranges from 150 to 170 cm.

Step S106, controlling the airflow organization form corresponding to the air conditioner output according to the control parameter.

In the technical solution provided in the above step S106 of the present application, the airflow organization corresponding to the air conditioner output is controlled according to the control parameter.

After determining the control parameters for controlling the at least two air outlets of the air conditioner according to the current ambient temperature, the airflow organization corresponding to the air conditioner output is controlled according to the control parameter. In the cooling mode, the air conditioner is affected by the gravity and the lifting force of the cold air. Since the gravity of the cold air is greater than the floating force, the airflow organization form of the cold air sent by the upper air outlet of the at least two air outlets provided on the air conditioner is From the curve of bending from top to bottom, the degree of bending can be determined by parameters such as the air flow rate of the cold air, the outlet air temperature, the turbulence coefficient, the size of the tuyere, and the angle of the wind. The wind blown by at least two air outlets provided on the air conditioner can locally cool the air in the upper part of the human body, rapidly improve the overall thermal feeling of the human body through local cold stimulation, and effectively bring comfort to the human body, thereby improving the control efficiency of the air conditioner.

In the heating mode, the air conditioner is affected by the gravity and the lifting force of the heated air. Since the gravity of the hot air is less than the floating force, the upper air outlet of the at least two air outlets provided on the air conditioner and the hot air flow sent by the lower air outlet are provided. The organization form is a curve curved from bottom to top, and the degree of bending can be determined by parameters such as the flow rate of the hot air, the temperature of the wind, the turbulence coefficient, the size of the tuyere, and the angle of the wind. The wind blown by at least two air outlets provided on the air conditioner can locally heat the human head and the lower limbs, and the local cold heat can quickly improve the overall cold feeling of the human body, effectively bring comfort to the human body, and improve air conditioning. Control efficiency of the device.

The embodiment determines the current ambient temperature; determines control parameters for controlling at least two air outlets of the air conditioner according to the current ambient temperature; controls the airflow organization corresponding to the air conditioner output according to the control parameter, thereby passing at least two air outlets The airflow organization of the control parameter output improves the thermal comfort of the human body, and satisfies the process of dynamically adjusting the temperature in a non-uniform thermal environment, so that the human body can obtain comfort comfortably in the process of using the air conditioner, and the control efficiency of the air conditioner is low. The problem, in turn, achieves the effect of improving the control efficiency of the air conditioner.

As an optional implementation manner, in step S104, determining, according to the current ambient temperature, a control parameter for controlling at least two air outlets of the air conditioner includes: determining a preset temperature range to which the current ambient temperature belongs; and determining the preset temperature The range controls the air outlet state of the at least two air outlets of the air conditioner, wherein at least two air outlets are located at different heights of the air conditioner, and the control parameters include an air outlet state.

The thermal environment can be distinguished according to the temperature range, and the air outlet states of at least two air outlets of the air conditioner are different under different thermal environments. After detecting the current ambient temperature, determining a preset temperature range to which the current ambient temperature belongs when determining a control parameter for controlling at least two air outlets of the air conditioner according to the current ambient temperature, the preset temperature range may include at least a partial heat environment The temperature range and the cold ambient temperature range, wherein the partial temperature range of the partial heat corresponds to a partial heat environment, and the temperature range of the cold environment corresponds to a cold environment.

At least two air outlets of the air conditioner of this embodiment are located at different heights of the air conditioner, and are arranged in layers on the air conditioner, and may be an upper air outlet and a lower air outlet of the air conditioner, wherein the upper air outlet is located in the air conditioner.

Optionally, an air outlet is also arranged in the middle of the air conditioner for adjusting the wind direction, setting the height of the air outlet on the air conditioner, the wind speed of the air blow, the size of the air outlet, the angle of the wind, and the like, so as to enable the dynamic adjustment process. In order to bring comfort to users efficiently. Preferably, in the case that the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet can achieve the purpose of providing comfort to the user efficiently, the air outlet provided in the middle of the air conditioner makes the convection effect not very good and cannot be well accepted by the user. In this case, the air outlet may not be provided in the middle of the air conditioner.

When the air conditioner is running, the operating mode is determined according to the current ambient temperature to adjust the temperature. The operating mode of the air conditioner includes a cooling mode and a heating mode. Among them, in the cooling mode, the cold air can be cooled locally to the upper part of the human body, and the overall thermal sensation of the human body can be quickly improved by local cold stimulation; in the heating mode, the local warm air can be locally applied to the human head and the lower limbs, through local Thermal stimulation quickly improves the overall cold feeling of the human body. Optionally, an operating mode suitable for the current ambient temperature is determined according to a preset temperature range in which the current ambient temperature is located. Determining an operation mode corresponding to the preset temperature range before controlling an air outlet state of the at least two air outlets of the air conditioner according to the determined preset temperature range, for example, determining the operation mode of the air conditioner in the partial temperature range In the cooling mode, in the colder temperature range, it is determined that the operating mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode. After determining the operating mode corresponding to the preset temperature range, the control air conditioner operates in accordance with the determined operating mode.

After determining the first temperature range to which the current ambient temperature belongs, it may be determined that the current environment is a hot environment, and the local thermal sensation of the head, back, chest, etc. of the human body has a greater weight on the overall thermal sensation, while the thigh, the lower leg, and the The local thermal sensation of the hand has a smaller weighting effect on the overall thermal sensation. When the human body is in a warm environment for a long time, the human body feels stuffy and uncomfortable, and it is necessary to accelerate the body heat dissipation under such a hot state.
