As the name implies, a vertical air conditioner with a double wind column has two wind columns arranged in parallel, the air outlets of the two wind columns are arranged opposite to each other, and an air duct is formed between the two wind columns. When the two wind columns discharge air, according to the Bernoulli principle, the air behind the air conditioner can be pressed into the air duct, and then an air flow is formed, thereby increasing the air volume.

However, because the two air outlets of the double-wind column vertical air conditioner are arranged relatively, the air outlet of the air conditioner can only be directed to the front of the air conditioner, resulting in a problem of a small air supply angle.

In particular, the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner, the air conditioner comprising a first wind column and a second wind column, the first wind column and the second wind column are arranged in parallel, and the air outlets of the first wind column and the second wind column are at least partially arranged opposite to each other, the control method comprising:

If the second wind direction is biased toward one side of the second wind column relative to the first wind direction, the wind speed of the first wind column is increased and/or the wind speed of the second wind column is decreased.

Optionally, the step of determining that the required air outlet direction is biased towards the first wind column includes:

Determine the angle between the required wind direction and the symmetry line between the first wind column and the second wind column;

The step of controlling the wind speed of the second wind column to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column comprises:

The wind speeds of the first wind column and the second wind column are called according to the included angle.

The step of determining the required air outlet direction of the air conditioner according to the operating mode comprises:

Obtaining a user position of a user relative to the air conditioner;

The direction pointing to the user position is the required air outlet direction.

Acquire the operating mode of the air conditioner as wind away from people;

determining that the user is located at one side of the air conditioner;

The direction toward the other side is the desired air outlet direction.

In another aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising a first wind column and a second wind column, The first wind column and the second wind column are arranged in parallel, and the air outlets of the first wind column and the second wind column are at least partially arranged opposite to each other; a controller, which includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a machine executable program, and when the machine executable program is executed by the processor, the control method of the air conditioner according to any one of the above items is implemented.

The control method of the air conditioner of the present invention controls the first wind column and the second wind column to have different wind speeds by determining the required air outlet direction of the air conditioner, so that the air outlet of the first wind column and the second wind column can be biased to one side so as to point to the required air outlet direction. That is to say, when the overall air outlet direction of the air conditioner needs to point to the side of the first wind column, the wind speed of the second wind column is controlled to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column, so that the overall air outlet of the air conditioner is directed to the side of the first wind column. When the overall air outlet direction of the air conditioner needs to point to the side of the second wind column, the wind speed of the first wind column is controlled to be greater than the wind speed of the second wind column, so that the overall air outlet of the air conditioner is directed to the side of the second wind column. Therefore, the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention realizes the deviation of the overall wind direction of the air conditioner by controlling the first wind column and the second wind column to have different wind speeds, and expands the air supply angle of the air conditioner while ensuring that the first wind column and the second wind column are simultaneously discharged. That is to say, on the basis of ensuring the air outlet volume of the double wind columns, the air conditioner is also enabled to have more air supply angles, which is conducive to improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

Furthermore, the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention records the wind direction of the air conditioner as the first wind direction; obtains the re-determined second wind direction of the air conditioner; and adjusts the wind speeds of the first wind column and the second wind column according to the offset of the second wind direction relative to the first wind direction. In other words, the air conditioner can adjust the wind speeds of the first wind column and the second wind column according to the requirements of the changed wind direction, thereby making the use of the air conditioner more flexible.

Furthermore, the air conditioner of the present invention has a larger air supply angle, so that the air conditioner can execute the wind follows people mode and the wind avoids people mode. The control method of the air conditioner solves the problem that the existing two-column air conditioner cannot blow to users on both sides by setting the wind following people mode and the wind avoids people mode, that is, when the user is on both sides of the air conditioner, the wind speed of the second wind column and the first wind column can be adjusted so that the wind blows to the user. In addition, when the user is on both sides of the air conditioner, the wind speed of the second wind column and the first wind column can be adjusted so that the wind blows to the other side where the user is, so that the wind direction is farther from the user, satisfying the user experience of some users. It helps to improve the user experience.

Based on the embodiments provided by the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the logic and/or steps represented in the flowchart or described in other ways herein, for example, can be considered as a sequenced list of executable instructions for implementing logical functions, and can be specifically implemented in any computer-readable medium for use by an instruction execution system, device or equipment (such as a computer-based system, a system including a processor, or other system that can fetch instructions from an instruction execution system, device or equipment and execute instructions), or used in combination with these instruction execution systems, devices or equipment.

As shown in Fig. 1, in one embodiment, the air conditioner 10 includes a first wind column 100 and a second wind column 200. The first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 are arranged side by side, and the air outlets of the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 are at least partially arranged opposite to each other.

Specifically, there is a gap between the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200. The first air outlet 110 is disposed on the side of the first air column 100 facing the second air column 200. The second air outlet 210 of the second air column 200 is disposed on the side of the second air column 200 facing the first air column 100. The first air column 100 and the second air column 200 are symmetrical about the symmetry line 20.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the air conditioner 10 further includes a controller 300 , which includes a memory 310 and a processor 320 . The memory 310 stores an executable program, and the processor 320 can execute the program in the memory 310 , thereby executing the control method in any of the following embodiments.

As shown in FIG3 , in one embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner generally includes:

Step S302, determining the required air outlet direction of the air conditioner.

Step S304, controlling the first wind column and the second wind column to have different wind speeds, so that the wind output of the first wind column and the second wind column can be biased to one side and point to the desired wind output direction.

Specifically, the step of determining the required air outlet direction of the air conditioner includes: determining that the required air outlet direction is biased toward the first wind column, that is, the required air outlet direction is toward the side where the first wind column 100 of the symmetry line 20 is located, that is, the left side of the symmetry line 20, referring to FIG. 1 .

The step of controlling the first wind column and the second wind column to have different wind speeds includes: controlling the wind speed of the second wind column to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column. As shown in FIG4 , by controlling the wind speed of the second wind column 200 to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column 100, the wind of the second wind column 200 can suppress the wind of the first wind column 100, so that the overall air outlet of the air conditioner 10 is biased toward the side where the first wind column 100 is located, that is, toward the desired air outlet direction.

Similarly, it is determined that the desired air outlet direction is biased toward the second wind column. That is, the desired air outlet direction is the side where the second wind column 200 pointing to the symmetry line 20 is located, referring to FIG1 , that is, the right side of the symmetry line 20. The wind speed of the first wind column is controlled to be greater than the wind speed of the second wind column. As shown in FIG5 , by controlling the wind speed of the first wind column 100 to be greater than the wind speed of the second wind column 200, the wind of the first wind column 100 can suppress the wind of the second wind column 200, so that the overall air outlet of the air conditioner 10 is biased toward the side where the second wind column 200 is located, that is, toward the desired air outlet direction.

In the solution of the present embodiment, by determining the desired air outlet direction of the air conditioner 10, the wind speeds of the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 are adjusted so that the air outlet of the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 can be deflected to one side so as to point to the desired air outlet direction. That is to say, when the overall air outlet direction of the air conditioner 10 needs to point to the side of the first wind column 100, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is controlled to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column 100, so that the overall air outlet of the air conditioner 10 is directed to the side of the first wind column 100. When the overall air outlet direction of the air conditioner 10 needs to point to the side of the second wind column 200, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is controlled to be greater than the wind speed of the second wind column 200, so that the overall air outlet of the air conditioner 10 is directed to the second wind column 200 side.

Therefore, the solution of this embodiment realizes the deviation of the overall wind direction of the air conditioner 10 by controlling the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 to have different wind speeds, and expands the air supply angle of the air conditioner 10 while ensuring that the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 blow out air at the same time. In other words, on the basis of ensuring the air output of the double wind columns, the air conditioner 10 also has more air supply angles, which is conducive to improving the user experience of the air conditioner 10.

It should be noted that the first wind column and the second wind column do not limit the relative positions of the wind columns, that is, the first wind column can be on the left and the second wind column can be on the right, or the second wind column can be on the left and the first wind column can be on the right.

In addition, it should be noted that the step of determining that the desired wind direction is biased toward the first wind column includes: determining the angle between the desired wind direction and the symmetry line of the first wind column and the second wind column. That is, the angle between the wind direction and the symmetry line 20 can be, for example, any angle between 0 and 90 degrees, such as 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, etc.

Furthermore, the step of controlling the wind speed of the second wind column to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column includes: calling the wind speeds of the first wind column and the second wind column according to the angle. Specifically, the program of the air conditioner pre-stores the wind speed relationship of the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 corresponding to different angles between the air outlet direction and the symmetry line 20. When the angle between the air outlet direction and the symmetry line 20 is determined, the corresponding wind speed relationship can be directly called, so that the air outlet direction meets the requirements.

By determining the angle between the required wind direction and the symmetry line of the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200, and then calling the wind speed of the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 according to the angle, the common wind direction of the first wind column 100 and the second wind column 200 can be more accurate.

As shown in FIG6 , in one embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner generally includes:

Step S602, determining that the required air outlet direction is biased towards the first wind column.

Step S604, controlling the wind speed of the second wind column to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column.

Step S606, recording the wind direction of the air conditioner as the first wind direction.

Step S608, obtaining the re-determined second wind direction of the air conditioner.

Step S610, adjusting the wind speed of the first wind column and the second wind column according to the deviation of the second wind direction relative to the first wind direction. Specifically, if the second wind direction is biased toward one side of the first wind column 100 relative to the first wind direction, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is increased and/or the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is reduced. If the second wind direction is biased toward one side of the second wind column 200 relative to the first wind direction, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is increased and/or the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is reduced.

In one example, taking the first wind column 100 side as an example, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner 10 on the first wind column 100 side has five levels 1-5, and the greater the level, the more the wind direction is biased toward the first wind column 100 side. At the beginning, the user sets it to level 3. The air conditioner 10 controls the wind speed of the second wind column 200 to be greater than the wind speed of the first wind column 100, so that the wind outlet direction meets the level 3 setting. Then, the first wind direction is the wind direction corresponding to level 3.

If the user sets the wind direction to level 4, that is, the re-determined second wind direction is more biased toward the first wind column 100, then the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is increased to make the wind outflow more biased toward the first wind column 100. Alternatively, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is reduced to make the wind outflow more biased toward the first wind column 100. Alternatively, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is increased while the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is reduced to make the wind outflow more biased toward the first wind column 100.

If the user sets the wind direction to level 2, that is, the re-determined second wind direction is more biased toward the second wind column 200, then the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is increased to make the wind outflow more biased toward the second wind column 200. Alternatively, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is reduced to make the wind outflow more biased toward the second wind column 200. Alternatively, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is increased while the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is reduced to make the wind outflow more biased toward the second wind column 200.

It should be noted that changing the wind speeds of the first wind column and the second wind column at the same time is conducive to maintaining the air volume, thereby ensuring the temperature adjustment effect of the air conditioner.

In another example, taking the first wind column 100 side as an example, the air conditioner 10 sweeps the wind on the first wind column 100 side. In the process of the wind direction changing from close to the symmetry line 20 to away from the symmetry line 20, the current wind direction is the first wind direction, and the wind direction to be changed is the second wind direction. The second wind direction is more biased toward the first wind column 100 side than the first wind direction. Therefore, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is gradually increased so that the wind is continuously biased toward the first wind column 100 side. Alternatively, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is gradually reduced, so that the wind is continuously biased toward the first wind column 100 side. Alternatively, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is gradually increased while the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is reduced, so that the wind is continuously biased toward the first wind column 100 side. Alternatively, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is gradually increased while the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is reduced, so that the wind is continuously biased toward the first wind column 100 side.

In the process of the wind direction changing from away from the symmetry line 20 to close to the symmetry line 20, the current wind direction is the first wind direction, and the wind direction to be changed is the second wind direction. The second wind direction is more biased toward the second wind column 200 side than the first wind direction. Therefore, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is gradually increased, so that the wind is continuously biased toward the second wind column 200 side. Alternatively, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is gradually reduced, and the wind is continuously biased toward the second wind column 200 side. Alternatively, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is gradually increased while the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is reduced, and the wind is continuously biased toward the second wind column 200 side.

As shown in FIG. 7 , in one embodiment, the control method of the air conditioner generally includes:

Step S702, obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner.

Step S704, determining the required air outlet direction of the air conditioner according to the operation mode.

Step S706, controlling the first wind column and the second wind column to have different wind speeds, so that the wind output of the first wind column and the second wind column can be biased to one side and point to the desired wind output direction.

As shown in FIG8 , the step of obtaining the operating mode of the air conditioner includes: step S802, obtaining that the operating mode of the air conditioner is wind follows the person. The step of determining the required air outlet direction of the air conditioner according to the operating mode includes: step S804, obtaining the user position relative to the air conditioner; step S806, the direction pointing to the user position is the required air outlet direction. For example, the air conditioner can detect the user position using a radar, or the air conditioner can obtain the user position by communicating with a wearable device (such as a smart watch).

In one example, it is detected that the user is at the side of the first wind column 100. The direction pointing to the user's position is the desired wind direction, that is, the desired wind direction is determined to be biased toward the first wind column 100. The angle between the wind direction and the symmetry line 20 is determined according to the user's position. The wind speed of the second wind column 200 is made greater than the wind speed of the first wind column 100, and the wind speeds of the two correspond to the angle between the desired wind direction and the symmetry line 20.

When the user position changes, the user position is re-determined, and a new wind direction is determined according to the user position. If the re-determined wind direction is more biased toward the first wind column 100, then the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is increased to make the wind more biased toward the first wind column 100. Alternatively, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is reduced to make the wind more biased toward the first wind column 100. Alternatively, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is increased while the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is reduced to make the wind more biased toward the first wind column 100.

If the re-determined wind direction is more inclined toward the second wind column 200 side, then the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is increased to make the wind outflow more inclined toward the second wind column 200 side. Alternatively, the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is reduced to make the wind outflow more inclined toward the second wind column 200 side. Alternatively, the wind speed of the first wind column 100 is increased while the wind speed of the second wind column 200 is reduced to make the wind outflow more inclined toward the second wind column 200 side.

9, the step of obtaining the operation mode of the air conditioner includes: step S902, obtaining that the operation mode of the air conditioner is wind away from people. The step of determining the required air outlet direction of the air conditioner according to the operation mode includes: step S904, determining that the user is located on one side of the air conditioner; and step S906, determining that the direction toward the other side is the required air outlet direction.

In one example, it is detected that the user is at the side of the first wind column 100, and the direction toward the side of the second wind column 200 is the desired wind direction, that is, it is determined that the desired wind direction is toward the second wind column 200. The wind speed of the first wind column 100 is greater than the wind speed of the second wind column 200. During this period, the air conditioner can maintain one air outlet direction, or sweep air on the side of the second wind column 200 .

It is detected that the user is at the side of the second wind column 200, and the direction biased toward the side of the first wind column 100 is the desired wind direction, that is, it is determined that the desired wind direction is biased toward the first wind column 100. The wind speed of the second wind column 200 is made greater than the wind speed of the first wind column 100. While the user is at the side of the second wind column 200, the air conditioner can maintain one wind direction or sweep the wind at the side of the second wind column 200.

In the solution of this embodiment, the air conditioner has a larger air supply angle, so that the air conditioner can perform the wind follows the person and wind avoids the person mode. That is to say, when the user is on both sides of the air conditioner, the wind speed of the second wind column and the first wind column can be adjusted so that the air is blown toward the user, solving the problem that the existing two-column air conditioner cannot blow toward the users on both sides. In addition, when the user is on both sides of the air conditioner, the wind speed of the second wind column and the first wind column can be adjusted so that the air is blown toward the other side where the user is, so that the air outlet direction is farther from the user, satisfying the use experience of some users.

Exemplarily, the air conditioner 10 has a first side outlet mode and a second side outlet mode. When the user turns on the first side outlet mode, it is determined that the required outlet direction is biased toward the first wind column 100. The wind speed of the second wind column 200 is greater than the wind speed of the first wind column 100, and the specific wind speed can be set in advance and stored in the program. When the user turns on the second side outlet mode, it is determined that the required outlet direction is biased toward the second wind column 200. The wind speed of the first wind column 100 is greater than the wind speed of the second wind column 200, and the specific wind speed can be set in advance and stored in the program.

At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived based on the content disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and identified as covering all such other variations or modifications.
