Based on the hardware structure of the above system architecture platform 100, various embodiments of the air supply method of the air conditioner of the present application are proposed.

As shown in Figure 2, Figure 2 is a flow chart of an air supply method for an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application includes, but is not limited to, a radar and an air guide assembly, and the air supply method includes, but is not limited to, step S100 and step S200.

Step S100: Obtain the air supply mode and target object position, where the target object position is detected by radar.

In one embodiment, the air supply mode of the embodiment of the present application may be the air blowing object mode, that is, the mode in which the air conditioner supplies air toward the target object position, such as the wind blowing mode or the wind blowing object mode; or, the embodiment of the present application may The air supply mode can also be a wind avoidance object mode, that is, the air conditioner avoids the target object position and supplies air, such as the wind avoidance mode or the wind avoidance object mode; in addition to the above-mentioned wind object mode and wind avoidance object mode, this application The air supply mode of the embodiment may also be other modes, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the air supply mode.

In one embodiment, the air supply mode in the embodiment of the present application can be obtained by user input. For example, the user can input the air supply mode through the control panel on the air conditioner, or through the buttons on the remote control. To input the air supply mode, you can also input the air supply mode through an application on the mobile phone, you can also input the air supply mode through voice, or you can input the air supply mode through gestures. The embodiment of this application is The method of obtaining the air supply mode is not specifically limited.

In one embodiment, the target object of the embodiment of the present application may be a person or other object that can be detected by the radar. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the target object.

In one embodiment, the target object in the embodiment of the present application can be detected by radar, where the radar can use radio methods to discover the target object and measure the spatial position of the target object. Specifically, radar is an electronic device that uses electromagnetic waves to detect target objects. Its detection principle is as follows: radar emits electromagnetic waves to illuminate the target object and receives its echo, thereby obtaining the distance, distance change rate, and orientation from the target object to the electromagnetic wave emission point. , height and other information.

Step S200: Determine the target area in multiple preset areas according to the air supply mode and the position of the target object, and control the wind guide assembly to move toward the target area; where the preset area is based on the radar detection based on the swing direction range of the wind guide assembly. The area divided by the range.

In one embodiment, in order for the radar to detect the entire air supply area of the air conditioner, the detection range of the radar in the embodiment of the present application needs to cover the swing direction range of the air guide assembly; in addition, the detection range of the radar in the embodiment of the present application is and the swing direction range determine multiple preset areas. Specifically, the boundaries of the multiple preset areas in the horizontal direction may correspond to the range boundaries of the swing direction range of the wind guide assembly in the horizontal direction. The multiple preset areas are in the vertical direction. The area boundary of the direction may correspond to the range boundary of the swing direction range of the wind guide assembly in the vertical direction.

In one embodiment, the embodiment of the present application may also set several dividing lines in the horizontal direction to distinguish different positions of different preset areas in the horizontal direction.

In an embodiment, similarly, the embodiment of the present application can also set several dividing lines in the vertical direction to distinguish different positions of different preset areas in the vertical direction.

In one embodiment, when the air supply mode is a mode in which the air conditioner supplies air toward the target object position, then the target area corresponds to a preset area corresponding to the target object position; when the air supply mode is a mode in which the air conditioner avoids the target object The target area is inconsistent with the preset area corresponding to the target object position.

In one embodiment, the air guide assembly of the embodiment of the present application may include a first air guide member or a second air guide member, wherein the first air guide member can swing up and down, and the second air guide member can swing left and right. Therefore, specifically, embodiments of the present application can control the first air guide member and/or the second air guide member to move toward the target area.

Based on the above steps S100 to S300, firstly, the embodiment of the present application divides the detection range of the radar according to the swing direction range to obtain multiple preset areas. Then, during the operation of the air conditioner, the detection range is divided according to the target object position and the sending direction. The wind mode determines the target area, where the target area is one of multiple preset areas, and controls the swing of the wind guide assembly to make it move toward the target area, which is different from the situation where the air is roughly directed toward a certain location, so , the embodiment of the present application can more accurately control the air supply direction of the air conditioner.

In addition, it should be noted that when the air supply mode is a mode of blowing air toward the target object position, then the step S200 above determines the target area in multiple preset areas according to the air supply mode and the target object position, which may include But it is not limited to the two implementation situations in Figure 3 or Figure 4.

Step S420: Determine a target distance value from multiple distance values, and use the preset area where the target object position corresponding to the target distance value is located as the target area.

Specifically, when the air supply mode is a mode of blowing air toward the target object position, if the number of target object positions detected by the radar is multiple, it means that there are currently multiple target objects. Since it is difficult to send air to multiple target objects at the same time, The target object position supplies air. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application determines the target distance value based on the distance value between each target object position and the air conditioner, and then uses the preset area where the target object position corresponding to the target distance value is located as the target area. .

In one embodiment, the target distance value mentioned above may be the distance value with the smallest value, the distance value with the next smallest value, or other distance values. The embodiment of the present application does not specify the selection of the target distance value. limited.
