As shown in FIG. 13 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S1301. The air conditioner determines the target air outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1302. The air conditioner determines the target position of the volute according to the target air outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1303. According to the target position of the volute, the air conditioner controls the switch position of the volute and the sealing baffle, so that the air is blown out from the first air port or the second air port.

S1304, the air conditioner controls the movement of the filter screen according to the target position of the volute.

The air conditioner can determine the current air outlet direction according to the current operating state. It is also possible to analyze the wind direction command sent by the user last time, so as to determine the current wind direction. The user can send wind direction instructions to the air conditioner through the remote control or mobile device. The mobile device may include, for example, a mobile phone, a smart home device, a wearable device, a smart mobile device, a virtual reality device, etc., or any combination thereof, wherein the wearable device includes, for example, a smart watch, a smart bracelet, a pedometer, and the like.

After receiving the instruction sent by the user, the air conditioner analyzes the instruction to determine the target air outlet direction of the air conditioner. Compare the target air outlet direction with the current air outlet direction, so as to determine the target position of the volute. If the target air outlet direction is consistent with the current air outlet direction, the target position of the volute is the current position, that is, the position of the control volute remains unchanged. At this time, control the state of the filter at the first tuyere and the second tuyere to remain unchanged. If the target air outlet direction is inconsistent with the current air outlet direction, the target position of the volute is further determined. Then, according to the target position of the volute, the volute and the sealing baffle are controlled to rotate. The volute is reciprocable between a first position and a second position. The target position of the volute is the first position or the second position. After the volute rotates to the target position, the outlet air of the air conditioner is blown out from the first air port or the second air port. Based on the target position of the volute, the adaptive rotation of the sealing baffle is controlled to reduce air leakage while the air conditioner is blowing out air. According to the target position of the volute, the filter screen is controlled to move to different positions to filter the dust and other impurities in the air.

The movement of the filter screen can be carried out after the position of the volute and the sealing baffle are switched, or it can be carried out synchronously.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the casing is provided with a first air outlet and a second air outlet with different air outlet directions. A volute capable of reciprocating rotation between a first position and a second position is arranged in the casing. Based on the target wind outlet direction and the current wind outlet direction, the target position of the volute is determined. Thereby controlling the volute to rotate to the target position, to realize that the air conditioner is blown out from the first air outlet or the second air outlet. The rotation of the volute can realize the change of the wind outlet direction. The air outlet of the volute can pass through the corresponding air port smoothly without changing the flow path. Moreover, based on the target position of the volute, the adaptive rotation of the sealing baffle is controlled to reduce the phenomenon of air leakage. In this way, the stability and uniformity of the air outlet airflow are improved, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the air supply effect. At the same time, the position of the filter screen is controlled based on the target position of the volute, so that the air can be effectively filtered while changing the wind direction.

Optionally, with reference to what is shown in FIG. 14 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S1301. The air conditioner determines the target air outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1312. The air conditioner determines the switching situation of the wind direction according to the target wind outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1322. The air conditioner determines the target position of the volute according to the switching situation of the wind direction.

S1303. According to the target position of the volute, the air conditioner controls the switch position of the volute and the sealing baffle, so that the air is blown out from the first air port or the second air port.

S1304, the air conditioner controls the movement of the filter screen according to the target position of the volute.

After determining the target wind outlet direction and the current wind outlet direction, compare the target wind outlet direction with the current wind outlet direction. If the target air outlet direction is consistent with the current air outlet direction, it is determined not to switch the wind direction, and the current position of the volute remains unchanged. If the target wind outlet direction is inconsistent with the current wind outlet direction, it is determined to switch the wind direction. Since the air conditioner has a first air outlet and a second air outlet, the switching of the wind direction is specifically switching between the air outlet direction of the first air outlet and the air outlet direction of the second air outlet. According to the specific switching direction, the target position of the volute is determined. In this way, the air outlet of the volute at the target position can meet the demand for switching the wind direction, that is, meet the target air outlet direction, so as to meet the user's demand for the wind direction. It should be noted that the specific implementation process of steps S1301, S1303, and S1304 can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

Optionally, in S1312, the air conditioner determines the switching of the wind direction according to the target wind outlet direction and the current wind outlet direction, including:

When the target air outlet direction is consistent with the current air outlet direction, the air conditioner determines that the air outlet direction does not switch.

In the case that the target air outlet direction is downward air outlet and the current air outlet direction of the air conditioner is side air outlet, it is determined that the air outlet direction is switched from side air outlet to down air outlet.

In the case that the target air outlet direction is side air outlet and the current air outlet direction of the air conditioner is downward air outlet, it is determined that the air outlet direction is switched from bottom air outlet to side outlet air.

When the volute rotates to the first position, the air outlet of the volute corresponds to the first air outlet, that is, corresponds to the side air outlet. At this time, the air outlet of the air conditioner is the side air outlet. When the volute rotates to the second position, the air outlet of the volute corresponds to the second air outlet, that is, corresponds to the lower air outlet. At this time, the air outlet of the air conditioner is the lower air outlet. If the target wind outlet direction is consistent with the current wind outlet direction, it is determined not to switch the wind direction. If the target wind outlet direction is inconsistent with the current wind outlet direction, the specific direction of the target wind outlet direction and the current wind outlet direction is further determined. If the target air outlet direction is the downward air outlet, and the current air outlet direction is the side air outlet, then it is determined that the switching status of the wind direction is from the side air outlet to the down air outlet. If the target air outlet direction is the side air outlet, and the current air outlet direction is the down air outlet, then it is determined that the switching of the wind direction is from the down air outlet to the side outlet air. In this way, based on the comparison between the target air outlet direction and the current air outlet direction, it is determined whether the wind direction needs to be switched, and when it is necessary to switch, the specific switching direction is determined. In order to precisely control the rotation of the volute.

Optionally, in S1322, the air conditioner determines the target position of the volute according to the switching of the wind direction, including:

In the case of switching from the side air outlet to the bottom air outlet, the air conditioner determines that the target position of the volute is the second position.

In the case of switching from bottom air outlet to side air outlet, the air conditioner determines that the target position of the volute is the first position.

As mentioned above, when the volute is at the first position, it corresponds to the side air outlet of the air conditioner. When the volute is at the second position, it corresponds to the lower air outlet of the air conditioner. Since the air outlets of the air conditioner are respectively the side air outlet and the down air outlet, the wind direction is also switched between the side air outlet and the down air outlet. If the side air outlet is switched to the down air outlet, the target position of the volute is determined to be the second position. If the air outlet from the bottom is switched to the air outlet from the side, the target position of the volute is determined to be the first position. In this way, the target position of the volute corresponds to the target air outlet direction, so as to realize the normal air supply of the air conditioner.

Optionally, with reference to what is shown in FIG. 15 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S1301. The air conditioner determines the target air outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1312. The air conditioner determines the switching situation of the wind direction according to the target wind outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1322. The air conditioner determines the target position of the volute according to the switching situation of the wind direction.

S1313, when the target position of the volute is different from the current position of the air conditioner, the air conditioner controls the sealing baffle to rotate in a direction to fit the volute.

S1323, the air conditioner controls the volute to rotate to the target position of the volute.

S1333, the air conditioner controls the sealing baffle to rotate to the target position of the sealing baffle.

S1304, the air conditioner controls the movement of the filter screen according to the target position of the volute.

As mentioned above, the target position of the volute is the first position or the second position. And the first position and the second position correspond to the side air outlet and the down air outlet. If the target air outlet direction is inconsistent with the current air outlet direction, correspondingly, the target position of the volute is also inconsistent with the current position. The sealing baffle can rotate relative to the volute. When the sealing baffle rotates to the side away from the volute, the sealing baffle is in an open state. When the sealing baffle rotates to a position close to the outer wall of the volute, the sealing baffle is in a retracted state. When the volute is fixed at its target position to supply air, the sealing baffle is in an open state to seal the second air port and reduce air leakage. When the volute rotates, the sealing baffle needs to be withdrawn to avoid hindering the rotation of the volute. Therefore, when controlling the rotation of the volute and the sealing baffle, first control the retraction of the sealing baffle, and then control the rotation of the volute. After the volute rotates to the target position, the sealing baffle is controlled to open to the target position of the sealing baffle. In this way, not only the switching of the air outlet direction is realized by controlling the rotation of the volute, but also the obstruction of the rotation of the volute caused by the sealing baffle can be avoided by controlling the rotation timing of the sealing baffle and the volute. Thus, the effective switching of the air outlet direction is ensured. It should be noted that, the specific implementation process of steps S1301, S1312, S1322, and S1304 can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

Optionally, there are two target positions of the sealing baffle. In the case of determining the switching of the wind direction, when the target position of the volute is the first position, the target position of the sealing baffle is the third position. When the sealing baffle is at the third position, the bottom of the sealing baffle abuts against the first edge of the second air port. At this time, the sealing baffle separates the first air outlet from the second air outlet, and also separates the air outlet of the volute from the second air outlet, so as to prevent the air outlet of the volute from leaking out from the second air outlet. In order to ensure the air supply effect of the air conditioner.

When the target position of the volute is the second position, the target position of the sealing baffle is the fourth position. When the sealing baffle is at the fourth position, the side of the sealing baffle abuts against the second edge. At this time, the left side of the air outlet of the volute abuts against the first edge. After cooperating with the sealing baffle, it is possible to send out as much air from the volute as possible from the second air port, reducing the amount of air flowing back into the casing. So as to ensure the air supply effect of the air conditioner.

Optionally, in S1304, the air conditioner controls the movement of the filter according to the target position of the volute, including:

When the target position of the volute is the first position, the air conditioner control filter moves to a position where the first air port is exposed and the second air port is blocked.

When the target position of the volute is the second position, the air conditioner control filter screen moves to a position that blocks the first air port and exposes the second air port.

It can be seen from the above that the filter screen has a certain degree of flexibility. Therefore, the filter screen can be rolled up. In this way, the movement of the filter screen between the first tuyere and the second tuyere can be controlled. If the target position of the volute is the first position, the first air outlet is used as an air outlet, and the second air outlet is used as an air inlet. Then the rotating shaft of the filter assembly is controlled to rotate clockwise, so that the rotating shaft drives the filter screen to move downward. The filter screen exposes the first air outlet while covering the second air outlet. If the target position of the volute is the second position, the second air outlet is used as an air outlet, and the first air outlet is used as an air inlet. Then the rotating shaft of the filter assembly is controlled to rotate counterclockwise, so that the rotating shaft drives the filter screen to move upward. Make the filter cover the first air outlet while exposing the second air outlet. Optionally, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a driving device. In this way, the filter screen is controlled to block the air inlet, which can reduce the dust entering the indoor unit. Controlling the exposure of the filter screen to the air outlet can prevent the dust on the filter screen from being blown into the room, and at the same time can ensure the air volume of the air outlet.

Optionally, S1323, the air conditioner controls the volute to rotate to the target position of the volute, including:

The air conditioner determines the target rotation direction of the volute.

The air conditioner controls the volute to rotate by a second angle toward the target rotation direction of the volute.

According to the target position of the volute, the target rotation direction of the volute is determined. When the target position of the volute is the first position, it is determined that the target rotation direction of the volute is upward rotation, that is, clockwise rotation. When the target position of the volute is the second position, it is determined that the target rotation direction of the volute is downward rotation, that is, counterclockwise rotation. After the target rotation direction of the volute is determined, the volute is controlled to rotate to the determined target rotation direction by a second angle β. Since the first position and the second position remain unchanged, no matter whether the volute rotates from the first position to the second position or from the second position to the first position, the rotation angle of the volute is the first angle. In this way, first determine the target rotation direction of the volute, and minimize the distance (or angle) that the volute rotates as much as possible, so that the volute can quickly rotate to a suitable air outlet position. Then control the second angle of rotation of the volute, so as to precisely control the rotation stop position of the volute, and reduce the problem of under-rotation or over-rotation of the volute.

Optionally, S1333, the air conditioner controls the sealing baffle to rotate to the target position of the sealing baffle, including:

The air conditioner determines the target direction of rotation of the seal flap.

When the target position of the sealing damper is the third position, the air conditioner controls the sealing damper to rotate by a first angle toward the target rotation direction of the sealing damper.

When the target position of the sealing baffle is the fourth position, the air conditioner controls the sealing baffle to rotate a third angle to the target rotation direction of the sealing baffle; wherein, the second angle is greater than the first angle, and the first angle is greater than the third angle .

The target position of the volute corresponds to the target position of the sealing baffle. Therefore, the target rotational position of the sealing baffle can be determined according to the target position of the volute. The sealing flap needs to be opened to rotate to the target position.

If the target position of the volute is the first position, the target position of the sealing baffle is the third position. Its target rotation direction is left rotation, that is, clockwise rotation. Then the sealing baffle is controlled to rotate clockwise by the first angle α. If the target position of the volute is the second position, the target position of the sealing baffle is the fourth position. Then its target rotation direction is downward rotation, that is, clockwise rotation. Then the sealing baffle is controlled to rotate clockwise by a third angle γ. In this way, first determine the target rotation direction of the sealing baffle, so that the sealing baffle is in an open state, and the sealing baffle is rotated along the rotation direction, so that the sealing baffle can seal the second tuyere. Then control the proper rotation angle of the volute, so as to accurately control the rotation stop position of the sealing baffle, avoid the problem of air leakage caused by the improper rotation of the sealing baffle, and ensure the stability of the air supply.

Since the first air port and the second air port are located on different sides of the casing, when the air outlet direction is switched, the second angle β of the volute rotation is also relatively large. When the volute rotates to the first position, the distance between the rotation point of the sealing baffle and the second air port is far. Therefore, in order to seal the second tuyere, the sealing baffle needs to be rotated by a relatively large first angle α, but will not exceed the second angle β. When the volute rotates to the second position, the distance between the rotation point of the sealing baffle and the second air port is relatively short. Therefore, the sealing baffle only needs to rotate the third angle γ with a small rotation angle to seal the second tuyere. Therefore, β>α>γ. Optionally, α ∈ [40°, 60°], β ∈ [69°, 89°], γ ∈ [5°, 25°]. The specific values of α, β and γ can be selected according to actual needs.

Optionally, with reference to what is shown in FIG. 16 , an embodiment of the present disclosure provides another method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

S1301. The air conditioner determines the target air outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1302. The air conditioner determines the target position of the volute according to the target air outlet direction and the current air outlet direction.

S1303. According to the target position of the volute, the air conditioner controls the switch position of the volute and the sealing baffle, so that the air is blown out from the first air port or the second air port.

S1304, the air conditioner controls the movement of the filter screen according to the target position of the volute.

S1305. The air conditioner determines a target air outlet according to the target air outlet direction.

S1306. The air conditioner controls the angles of each horizontal air deflector according to the target air outlet.

Based on the determined target wind outlet direction, the target air outlet is determined. The target air outlet is the air outlet, and the non-target air outlet is the air inlet. If the target air outlet direction is side air outlet, the target air outlet is the first air outlet (side air outlet). If the target air outlet direction is downward air outlet, the target air outlet is the second air outlet (downwind outlet). When the air conditioner is running, the first transverse wind deflector and the second transverse wind deflector are all opened to the maximum angle to ensure maximum air intake and maximum air discharge. Optionally, according to the user's air supply requirements, the angle change of the transverse air deflector at the target air outlet can be controlled to achieve swing air supply or air supply in a specific direction. But in principle, control the horizontal wind deflector at the non-target air outlet, and always keep the maximum angle to ensure the maximum air intake. Optionally, the maximum angles of the first transverse wind deflector and the second transverse wind deflector are the angles formed by the transverse wind deflector when the transverse wind deflector is parallel to the wind inlet direction. It should be noted that, the specific implementation process of steps S1301, S1312, S1322, and S1304 can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

The process of controlling the volute, sealing baffle and filter screen will be introduced in detail below:

Situation 1: As shown in Figure 1, the current air outlet direction is side air outlet, and the target air outlet direction is downward air outlet. At this time, the volute is at the first position; the sealing baffle is at the third position; the filter screen exposes the first air port and blocks the second air port. The target position of the volute is the second position; the target position of the sealing baffle is the fourth position.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , first control the sealing baffle to rotate counterclockwise by a first angle α, so that the sealing baffle is attached to the outer wall of the volute. Then, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the volute is controlled to rotate counterclockwise by a second angle β, so that the volute rotates to the second position. At this time, the air outlet of the volute corresponds to the lower air outlet, and the left side of the air outlet of the volute abuts against the first edge of the lower air outlet. Then, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the sealing baffle is controlled to rotate clockwise by a third angle γ, so that the side of the sealing baffle abuts against the second edge of the downwind port. And control the filter screen to block the first air outlet while exposing the second air outlet.

Situation 2: As shown in Figure 4, the current air outlet direction is downward air outlet, and the target air outlet direction is side air outlet. At this time, the volute is at the second position; the sealing baffle is at the fourth position; the filter screen blocks the first air port and exposes the second air port. The target position of the volute is the first position; the target position of the sealing baffle is the third position.

As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 3 , the sealing baffle is firstly controlled to rotate counterclockwise by a third angle γ, so that the sealing baffle is attached to the outer wall of the volute. Then, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 2 , the control volute rotates clockwise by a second angle β, so that the volute rotates to the first position. At this moment, the air outlet of the volute corresponds to the side air outlet. Then, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 1 , the sealing baffle is controlled to rotate clockwise by a first angle α, so that the bottom of the sealing baffle abuts against the first edge of the lower air outlet. And control the filter screen to expose the first air outlet and block the second air outlet at the same time.

The rotation of the volute can realize the change of the wind outlet direction. The air outlet of the volute can pass through the corresponding air port smoothly without changing the flow path. Moreover, based on the target position of the volute, the adaptive rotation of the sealing baffle is controlled to reduce the phenomenon of air leakage. In this way, the stability and uniformity of the air outlet airflow are improved, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the air supply effect. At the same time, the position of the filter screen is controlled based on the target position of the volute, so that the air can be effectively filtered while changing the wind direction.
