用于空调器的控制方法及空调器 技术领域
本发明属于空调器技术领域，具体提供一种用于空调器的控制方法及空调器。
背景技术
空调器是能够为室内制冷/制热的设备。随着人们生活水平的不断提高，人们对空调器的要求越来越高，不再仅仅满足于能够制冷制热即可。
为了满足客户的需求，有的空调器增加了杀菌功能，具体而言，在室内机的壳体内安装杀菌灯，在空调器运行的过程中，可以启动杀菌灯对进入壳体的气流进行杀菌，使室内机排出的气流更加洁净安全。
然而，在空调器使用一段时间后，因为各种不同的原因，杀菌灯可能会发生故障，无法再进行杀菌作业，导致空调器的杀菌功能名存实亡，严重影响用户的使用体验。
因此，本领域需要一种新的技术方案来解决上述问题。
发明内容
为了解决现有技术中的上述问题，即为了解决现有空调器的杀菌功能可能会出现名存实亡的问题，本发明提供了一种用于空调器的控制方法，所述空调器包括室内机，所述室内机包括壳体，所述空调器还包括设置在所述壳体内的杀菌灯、第一光传感器和第二光传感器，所述第一光传感器和所述第二光传感器均设置在所述杀菌灯能够照射到的位置，所述控制方法包括：在所述杀菌灯运行的情形下，开启所述第一光传感器；获取所述第一光传感器采集的光线强度，记为第一光线强度；将所述第一光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较；如果所述第一光线强度小于所述第一标准光线强度，则开启所述第二光传感器；获取所述第二光传感器采集的光线强度，记为第二光线强度；将所述第二光线强 度与所述第一标准光线强度进行比较；如果所述第二光线强度小于所述第一标准光线强度，则使所述空调器发出所述杀菌灯故障的提示信息。
在上述控制方法的优选技术方案中，在执行步骤“开启所述第二光传感器”之前，所述控制方法还包括：将所述杀菌灯关闭后重新启动；重新获取一次所述第一光线强度并与所述第一标准光线强度进行比较；如果所述第一光线强度仍小于所述第一标准光线强度，则执行步骤“开启所述第二光传感器”；如果所述第一光线强度不小于所述第一标准光线强度，则不执行步骤“开启所述第二光传感器”。
在上述控制方法的优选技术方案中，所述控制方法还包括：获取所述壳体外的光线强度，记为第三光线强度；获取所述室内机的导风板的开启角度；根据所述第三光线强度和所述开启角度，获取相应的预设光线强度并以所述预设光线强度作为所述第一标准光线强度。
在上述控制方法的优选技术方案中，所述控制方法还包括：如果所述第二光线强度不小于所述第一标准光线强度，则使所述空调器发出所述第一光传感器故障的提示信息。
在上述控制方法的优选技术方案中，所述控制方法还包括：如果所述第一光线强度或所述第二光线强度大于所述第一标准光线强度，则使所述第一光线强度或所述第二光线强度与第二标准光线强度进行比较；如果所述第一光线强度或所述第二光线强度小于所述第二标准光线强度，则使所述空调器发出所述杀菌灯杀菌效果较差的提示信息；其中，所述第二标准光线强度大于所述第一标准光线强度。
在上述控制方法的优选技术方案中，“使所述空调器发出所述杀菌灯故障的提示信息”的步骤具体包括：使所述室内机上的指示灯变为红色。

在上述控制方法的优选技术方案中，所述空调器还包括第三光传感器，所述第三光传感器设置在所述壳体上，“获取所述壳体外的光线强度”的步骤具体包括：获取所述第三光传感器采集的光线强度。
在上述控制方法的优选技术方案中，所述杀菌灯为紫外线灯。
在另一方面，本发明还提供了一种空调器，包括控制器，所述控制器配置成能够执行上述的控制方法。
本领域技术人员能够理解的是，在本发明的优选技术方案中，通过在室内机的壳体内且杀菌灯能够照射到的位置设置两个光传感器，即第一光传感器和第二光传感器，在第一光传感器采集的到光线强度小于第一标注光线强度的情形下，继续通过第二光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度，在第二光线强度也小于第一标准光线强度的情形下，才使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息。通过这样的设置，当杀菌灯出现故障时，能够及时地向用户发出提醒，以便对杀菌灯进行维修或者更换，保证空调器的杀菌功能正常使用，此外，通过两个光传感器来共同作用，能够极大地提高判断的准确性，避免出现误判杀菌灯故障的情况。
进一步地，在启动第二光传感器之前，先将杀菌灯关闭重启，通过第一光传感器重新检测判断一次，通过这样的设置，能够排除通电异常的影响，进一步提高判断的准确性。
进一步地，根据壳体外的光线强度和导风板的开启角度来确定相对应的第一标准光线强度。通过这样的设置，能够进一步提高判断的准确性。
进一步地，当第二光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，使空调器发出第一光传感器故障的提示信息。通过这样的设置，能够提示用户及时地对第一光传感器进行维修或者更换，保证检测判断的准确性。
进一步地，本发明的控制方法还包括：如果第一光线强度或第二光线强度大于第一标准光线强度，则使第一光线强度或第二光线强度与第二标准光线强度进行比较；如果第一光线强度或第二光线强度小于第二标准光线强度，则使空调器发出杀菌灯杀菌效果较差的提示信息。通过这样的设置，当杀菌灯的杀菌效果较差时，也能够向用户发出提示信息，以使用户可以采取相应的措施，提升用户的使用体验。
此外，本发明在上述技术方案的基础上进一步提供的空调器由于采用了上述控制方法，进而具备了上述控制方法所具备的技术效果，相比于改进前的空调器，本发明的空调器能够自动检测判断杀菌灯是否出现故障，并且在杀菌灯出现故障时，能够及时地向用户发出提示信息，以使用户进行维修或者更换，此外，判断准确性高。

S700：使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息。
在杀菌灯运行的情形下，控制器控制第一光传感器开启，通过第一光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度，记为第一光线强度，并将该数据传输给控制器，控制器将第一光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较，当第一光线强度小于第一标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯可能出现了故障，在这种情形下，控制器控制第二光传感器开启，通过第二光传感器再来采集壳体内的光线强度，记为第二光线强度，并将该数据传输给控制器，控制器将第二光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较，当第二光线强度也小于第一标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯出现了故障，无法继续执行杀菌操作，需要进行维修或者更换，因此使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息，以便提示用户对杀菌灯进行维修或者更换。
通过这样的设置，能够极大地提高判断的准确性，避免出现误判杀菌灯出现故障的情况。
其中，本领域技术人员在实际应用中可以通过试验针对不同类型的杀菌灯灵活地设定第一标准光线强度的具体数值，只要通过第一标准光线强度确定的临界点能够判断出杀菌灯是否出现故障即可。
需要说明的是，如果第二光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障，就不需要使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息；同时还说明，第一光传感器出现了故障，在这种情形下，优选使空调器发出第一光传感器故障的提示信息，以便提示用户对第一光传感进行维修或者更换。
还需要说明的是，如果第一光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障，在这种情形下，不需要使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息。

S100：在杀菌灯运行的情形下，开启第一光传感器。
S200：获取第一光传感器采集的光线强度，记为第一光线强度。

S400：将杀菌灯关闭后重新启动。
执行完步骤S400后，重新执行步骤S200和S300，即重新通过第一光传感器获取一次第一光线强度，并与第一标准光线强度进行比 较，如果这一次的第一光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，说明之前可能存在通电异常等情况，在这种情形下，也不需要使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息，并使计数器清零，此外，可以继续执行步骤S200，或者，也可以间隔预设时间之后再执行步骤S200，当然，优选设置为间隔预设时间之后再执行步骤S200。
反之，如果第一光线强度仍小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯可能出现了故障，并且可以排除通电异常等因素的影响，在这种情形下，使控制器内的计数器再计数一次，计数器内的数值达到2，表示第二次第一光线强度小于第一标准光线强度，在这种情形下，接着执行步骤S500。
S500：开启第二光传感器。
S600：获取第二光传感器采集的光线强度，记为第二光线强度。
S700：判断第二光线强度是否小于第一标准光线强度。
即将第二光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较，如果第二光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障，而是第一光传感器可能出现了故障，在这种情形下，可以继续执行步骤S600，或者，也可以间隔预设时间后再执行步骤S600，当然，优选设置为间隔预设时间后再执行步骤S600；反之，如果第二光线强度也小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯出现了故障，则接着执行步骤S800。

杀菌灯重启后，重新获取一次第一光线强度，并与第一标准光线强度进行比较，如果第一光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度了，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障，在这种情形下，继续通过第一光传感器来获取壳体内的光线强度，不使第二光传感器启动。
反之，如果第一光线强度仍小于第一标准光线强度，则可以排除通电异常的因素，在这种情形下，控制器再控制第二光传感器开启，通过第二光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度，记为第二光线强度，并将该数据传输给控制器，控制器将第二光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较，当第二光线强度也小于第一标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯出现了故障，无法继续执行杀菌操作，需要进行维修或者更换，因此使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息，以便提示用户对杀菌灯进行维修或者更换。
通过这样的设置，能够极大地提高判断的准确性，避免出现误判杀菌灯出现故障的情况。
其中，本领域技术人员在实际应用中可以通过试验针对不同类型的杀菌灯灵活地设定第一标准光线强度的具体数值，只要通过第一标准光线强度确定的临界点能够判断出杀菌灯是否出现故障即可。
需要说明的是，如果第二光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障同时，还说明了第一光传感器出现了故障，在这种情形下，优选使空调器发出第一光传感器故障的提示信息，以便提示用户对第一光传感进行维修或者更换。
还需要说明的是，在实际应用中，可以在室内机上安装声音装置，当杀菌灯出现故障时，使声音装置(例如蜂鸣器、语音播报器等)发出声音来提示用户杀菌灯出现故障，或者，还可以在室内机上安装指示灯，当杀菌灯出现故障时，使指示灯显示故障颜色来提示用户杀菌灯出现故障，再或者，通过指示灯和声音装置的组合共同提示用户杀菌灯出现故障，等等，本领域技术人员可以在实际应用中灵活地设置具体提示方式，这种对提示方式的调整和改变并不偏离本发明的原理和范围，均应限定在本发明的保护范围之内。

实施例三
下面结合图4对本发明的实施例三的技术方案进行详细地介绍。
如图4所示，本实施例的控制方法包括以下步骤：
S100：在杀菌灯运行的情形下，开启第一光传感器。
S200：获取第一光传感器采集的光线强度，记为第一光线强度。
S300：获取壳体外的光线强度，记为第三光线强度。
在该实施例中，如图1所示，本发明的空调器还包括第三光传感器3，第三光传感器3设置在壳体5上，示例性地，第三光传感器3设置在壳体5的上表面，第三光传感器3与控制器通讯连接，控制器可以控制第三光传感器3启动或者停止，并且，控制器还能够接收第三光传感器3采集的数据，其中，“获取壳体外的光线强度”的步骤具体包括：获取第三光传感器采集的光线强度。
S400：获取室内机的导风板的开启角度。
S500：根据第三光线强度和开启角度，获取相应的预设光线强度，并以预设光线强度作为第一标准光线强度。
示例性地，针对第三光线强度可以设置三个光线区间，按照光线的强度从弱到强依次是第一光线区间、第二光线区间和第三光线区间，导风板的开启角度包括30度、45度和60度，根据上述的三个光线区间和开启角度制作一个标准光线强度对照表，如图5所示，从对照表中可以看出预设光线强度共有五个值，从小到大依次是B1、B2、B3、B4、B5。在获取到第三光线强度和导风板的开启角度后，可以通过该对照表来获取对应的预设光线强度，并以该预设光线强度作为第一标准光线强度。
需要说明的是，本领域技术人员在实际应用中，可以通过试验针对不同类型的杀菌灯，对上述标准光线强度对照表中的预设光线强度的具体数值进行设定，只要通过各个预设光线强度确定的临界点能够判断出杀菌灯是否出现故障即可。
S600：判断第一光线强度是否小于第一标准光线强度。
即将第一光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较，如果第一光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，可以继续执行步骤S200，或者，也可以间隔预设时间之后再执行步骤S200，当然，优选设置为间隔预设时间之后再执行步骤S200；反之，如果第一光线强度小于第一标准光线强度， 则接着执行步骤S700。

在杀菌灯运行的情形下，控制器控制第一光传感器和第三光传感器开启，通过第一光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度，记为第一光线强度，通过第三光传感器来采集壳体外的光线强度，记为第三光线强度，并将第一光线强度和第三光线强度的数据传输给控制器，控制器根据第三光线强度和导风板的开启角度，获取对应的预设光线强度，并以该预设光线强度作为第一标准光线强度。
控制器然后将第一光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较，当第一光线强度小于第一标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯可能出现了故障，在这种情形下，控制器控制第二光传感器开启，通过第二光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度，记为第二光线强度，并将该数据传输给控制器，控制器将第二光线强度与第一标准光线强度进行比较，当第二光线强度也小于第一标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯出现了故障，无法继续执行杀菌操作，需要进行维修或者更换，因此使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息，以便提示用户对杀菌灯进行维修或者更换。
通过这样的设置，能够避免壳体外的光线强度和导风板的位置的影响，进一步提高判断的准确性，避免出现误判杀菌灯出现故障的情况。
需要说明的是，如果第二光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障，就不需要使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息；同时还说明，第一光传感器出现了故障，在这种情形下，优选使空调器发出第一光传感器故障的提示信息，以便提示用户对第一光传感进行维修或者更换。
此外，还需要说明的是，当第二光线强度不小于第一标准光 线强度时，需要进行新一轮的检测判断，在这种情形下，已经判断出第一光传感器可能出现了故障，优选不再通过第一光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度了，而是直接通过第二光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度，与实施例一和实施例二类似地，优选间隔预设时间之后再通过第二光传感器来采集壳体内的光线强度，当然，在重新采集第二光线强度之前、同时或之后，也要重新获取导风板的开口角度并通过第三光传感器来采集第三光线强度，以重新确定第一标准光线强度。
此外，还需要说明的是，如果第一光线强度不小于第一标准光线强度，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障，在这种情形下，不需要使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息。
此外，还需要说明的是，本领域技术人员在实际应用中，可以灵活地调整上述各步骤的执行顺序，例如，可以同时执行步骤S300和步骤S400，或者，也可以先执行步骤S400，再执行步骤S300；再或者，也可以先执行步骤S300、S400和S500，然后再执行步骤S100和步骤S200，等等，这种灵活地调整和改变并不偏离本发明的原理和范围，均应限定在本发明的保护范围之内。
此外，还需要说明的是，在实际应用中，可以在室内机上安装声音装置，当杀菌灯出现故障时，使声音装置(例如蜂鸣器、语音播报器等)发出声音来提示用户杀菌灯出现故障，或者，还可以在室内机上安装指示灯，当杀菌灯出现故障时，使指示灯显示故障颜色来提示用户杀菌灯出现故障，再或者，通过指示灯和声音装置的组合共同提示用户杀菌灯出现故障，等等，本领域技术人员可以在实际应用中灵活地设置具体提示方式，这种对提示方式的调整和改变并不偏离本发明的原理和范围，均应限定在本发明的保护范围之内。
优选地，“使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息”的步骤包括：将室内机上的指示灯变为红色。需要说明的是，在不需要使空调器发出杀菌灯故障的提示信息的情形下，可以使指示灯显示绿色或者不亮。
实施例四
在实施例二的基础上，加入以下步骤：获取壳体外的光线强度，记为第三光线强度；获取室内机的导风板的开启角度；根据第 三光线强度和开启角度，获取相应的预设光线强度并以预设光线强度作为第一标准光线强度。各步骤的顺序可以参见实施三，在此就不再一一赘述了。
实施例五
在上述实施例一、实施例二、实施例三或实施例四的基础上，本实施例的控制方法还包括以下步骤：
如果第一光线强度或第二光线强度大于第一标准光线强度，则使第一光线强度或第二光线强度与第二标准光线强度进行比较；如果第一光线强度或第二光线强度小于第二标准光线强度，则使空调器发出杀菌灯杀菌效果较差的提示信息，示例性地，使室内机上的指示灯变为黄色；其中，第二标准光线强度大于第一标准光线强度。
当第一光线强度大于第一标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯没有出现故障，还能够继续进行杀菌作业，在这种情形下，可以继续使第一光线强度与第二标准光线强度进行比较，当第一光线强度小于第二标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯虽然还能够继续进行杀菌作业，但是，杀菌灯的杀菌效果较差，因此使空调器发出杀菌灯杀菌效果较差的提示信息，以告知用户尽快对杀菌灯进行更换。
同样地，在第一光传感器出现故障的情形下，当第二光线强度大于第一标准光线强度时，继续使第二光线强度与第二标准光线强度进行比较，当第二光线强度小于第二标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯虽然还能够继续进行杀菌作业，但是，杀菌灯的杀菌效果较差，因此使空调器发出杀菌灯杀菌效果较差的提示信息，以告知用户尽快对杀菌灯进行更换。
也就是说，当第一光线强度或第二光线强度小于第一标准光线强度时，说明杀菌灯出现故障，已经无法进行杀菌作业，需要立即进行维修或者更换；当第一光线强度或第二光线强度大于第一标准光线强度且小于第二光线强度时，说明杀菌灯虽然还可以继续执行杀菌作业，但是杀菌效果较差，需要尽快进行更换。
其中，本领域技术人员在实际应用中可以通过试验针对不同类型的杀菌灯灵活地设定第一标准光线强度和第二标准光线强度的具体数值，只要通过第一标准光线强度确定的临界点能够判断出杀菌 灯是否出现故障以及通过第二标准光线强度确定的临界点能够判断出杀菌灯的杀菌效果是否较差即可。
至此，已经结合附图所示的优选实施方式描述了本发明的技术方案，但是，本领域技术人员容易理解的是，本发明的保护范围显然不局限于这些具体实施方式。在不偏离本发明的原理的前提下，本领域技术人员可以对相关技术特征作出等同的更改或替换，这些更改或替换之后的技术方案都将落入本发明的保护范围之内。
