It is detected whether the air conditioner is running, and when the air conditioner has been running, the air conditioner is controlled to maintain the current running state.

In the preferred technical solution of the above air conditioner control method, after the step of "selectively controlling the air conditioner to be turned on after a set time T1 of standby based on the judgment result", the method further includes:

It is detected whether the air conditioner is running, and if the air conditioner does not start running, the distance L between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner is re-updated, and the set time T1 is re-determined based on the updated distance L.

The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising a control unit, the control unit is configured to be able to execute the control method of the air conditioner according to any one of the above technical solutions.

Those skilled in the art can understand that, in the technical solution of the present invention, the air conditioner first updates the distance between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner, and then compares the distance L with the set distance L1. When L≤L1, obtain For indoor environment parameters, it is judged whether the indoor environment parameters reach the set parameters, and based on the judgment result, the air conditioner is selectively controlled to be turned on after standby for a set time T1.

Through the above method, the air conditioner of the present invention can judge whether to turn on the air conditioner according to the distance between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner and the indoor environmental parameters. When the distance between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner is less than the set value L, and the environmental parameters are not When the set parameters are reached, the air conditioner will be turned on after the set time T1.

First of all, the air conditioner can confirm whether to turn on the air conditioner according to the distance L between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner, indoor environment parameters and setting parameters. This method solves the problem that the existing air conditioner cannot independently judge the starting time. .

In addition, when the air conditioner determines that L≤L1 and the indoor environmental parameters do not reach the set parameters, it will not turn on directly, but reserves the buffer time of the set time T1, so that the air conditioner has more The time to judge and select a better start-up time, for example, in one embodiment, the air conditioner can judge the size of L and L1 again after the ΔT time. At this time, if it is detected that the air conditioner has not started to run, and It is found that L>L1, that is, the user may have other things, so he is far away from the air conditioner, then he can cancel the startup after T1 time, and if there is no buffer time of T1, the air conditioner will be turned on directly, and the user does not come to the air conditioner Near the air conditioner, the air conditioner will start in vain, resulting in a waste of electric energy. Therefore, increasing the buffer time of T1 can control the start time of the air conditioner more accurately.

For another example, in another embodiment, the air conditioner can judge the size of L and L1 again after the ΔT time. At this time, if the air conditioner is detected not to run, and the result is still L≤L1, but here , due to the uncertainty of the moving speed of the mobile terminal, if the user carries the mobile terminal on foot, the travel will be slow; if the user carries the mobile terminal by car, he will return home at an extremely fast speed, and the T1 time is relatively lagging, so it is impossible to accurately judge what At this time, it is necessary to recalculate the new T1 according to the new L until the air conditioner has started to run, that is, when the relationship between L and L1 is judged again after a certain interval, it is found that the air conditioner has been started, then keep it. The state of the air conditioner is enough, and T1 is not recalculated. In this way, the optimal turn-on time can be determined more accurately, and the air conditioner can be turned on prematurely due to the different traveling speeds of users, which will waste electricity.

It can be seen from the above that the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention effectively solves the problem that the existing air conditioner cannot independently determine the start-up time, and when L≤L1, because the buffer time of T1 is set, various way to further control the on time of the air conditioner. As mentioned above, it can be to turn on the air conditioner after canceling the T1 time, or to re-correct T1 every ΔT time, or other control methods to make the air conditioner turn on time. It is more accurate, so that the user has just arrived home, and the indoor environment parameters have just reached the set parameters, thereby making the energy waste smaller, as long as the control method can control the ON time of the air conditioner more accurately. These advantages all come from the setting of T1 There are many ways to optimize the boot time within the T1 time, and it is not limited to the above two examples of the present invention. As long as it does not deviate from the principle of the present invention, it will fall within the protection scope of the present invention. within.

Detailed ways

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can adjust it as needed to adapt to specific applications. For example, although the description is based on the correspondence between the distance L and the environmental parameters and the set time T1, that is, the set time T1 is confirmed based on a comparison table of the relationship between the distance, the environmental parameter and T1, but , the present invention can obviously adopt other forms, such as determining T1 only based on the comparison table between the distance L and the set time T1, or firstly based on the environmental parameters, calculating when the air conditioner is working in the rated working state, the time to reach the set parameters is calculated. Based on the distance L, the time required for the mobile terminal to reach the air conditioner is calculated, and the time difference between the two is used as the set time T1 before the air conditioner is activated. There are various methods for confirming the set time T1 before turning on the air conditioner, and this embodiment cannot be exhaustive, as long as the method can confirm the set time T1.

1 and 2, the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention will be described. 1 is a flowchart of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a logic diagram of the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in order to solve the problem that the existing air conditioner cannot independently judge the startup time, the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention includes:

S100. Update the distance L between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner.

For example, by sending the location to the air conditioner through the mobile terminal, the air conditioner can know the distance L between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner, so as to obtain one of the key conditions for confirming whether to turn on the air conditioner, wherein the mobile terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer Or a device such as a smart watch, as long as it can remotely connect to the air conditioner and transmit data. Of course, the update method of the distance L can also be calculated by the mobile terminal based on its own positioning and the position of the air conditioner.

S200. Compare the size of the distance L and the set distance L1.

For example, an appropriate distance L1 is set in the air conditioner or in the mobile terminal, L1 is compared with L, and different operation controls are selectively performed according to the result.

S300, when L≤L1, obtain indoor environment parameters.

For example, when L is less than or equal to L1, it means that the mobile terminal is relatively close to the air conditioner. At this time, it starts to control the air conditioner to obtain indoor environmental parameters, where the environmental parameters can be one or more of indoor temperature and indoor humidity. It can also be other environmental parameters, etc., as long as the environmental parameters can be controlled by the air conditioner and can make the indoor environment more suitable.

S400. Determine whether the indoor environment parameter reaches the set parameter.

For example, different operation steps can be selectively performed by judging whether the indoor environmental parameters reach the set parameters, wherein the set parameters can be one or more of indoor temperature and indoor humidity, and can also be other settings parameters, etc., as long as the environmental parameters can be controlled by the air conditioner and can make the indoor environment more suitable. The set parameter may be a numerical value, a plurality of discrete numerical values, or a set range value, etc., as long as the environmental parameters can be achieved and the indoor environment can be more comfortable.

S500. Based on the judgment result, selectively control the air conditioner to be turned on after a set time T1 of standby.

For example, the air conditioner is controlled based on the judgment result, and when the indoor environment parameter does not reach the set parameter, the air conditioner can be controlled to be turned on after the standby set time T1.

The advantage of the above setting method is that: first, the air conditioner confirms whether to turn on the air conditioner according to L, L1, indoor environment parameters and setting parameters, so that the air conditioner can independently judge the startup time. In addition, setting the command to turn on after the set time T1 can make the air conditioner itself more accurately determine the turn-on time within this time period, so that the air conditioner can ensure that the environmental parameters have reached the set parameters when the user arrives indoors. More energy saving.

1 and 2, the control method of the air conditioner of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in a possible implementation manner, the step of “selectively controlling the air conditioner to be turned on after standby for a set time T1 based on the judgment result” in S500 further includes:

When the indoor environmental parameters do not reach the set parameters, the set time T1 is first determined based on one or more combinations of distance L, indoor environmental parameters or outdoor environmental parameters. In this way, the length of the set time T1 is related to the distance. L. The indoor environmental parameters are linked to the outdoor environmental parameters. According to the different environmental parameters and distances, different time T1 is set, so that the air conditioner can more accurately turn on the air conditioner, and the indoor environmental parameters just reach the home when the user arrives at home. set parameters.

In addition, there are various methods for determining the set time T1 by using the distance L, indoor environmental parameters or outdoor environmental parameters, which may be based on the distance between one or more of the distance L, indoor environmental parameters and outdoor environmental parameters and the set time T1 Corresponding relationship, determine the set time T1, that is, based on a comparison table obtained from an actual test, according to the actual value of the distance L, indoor environmental parameters and outdoor environmental parameters, you can compare the table, and then query the set time T1, Forms can be obtained through practical experiments or experience accumulation.

Of course, the method for obtaining the set time T1 can also be based on one or more of the distance L, the indoor environment parameter and the outdoor environment parameter, and calculate the operation time to reach the set parameter when the air conditioner works in the rated working state; Then, based on the operation time and the distance L, the set time T1 is calculated. That is to say, it is also possible to obtain the time required for the indoor environmental parameters to reach the set parameters when the air conditioner works in the rated state through the indoor and outdoor environmental parameters, and then calculate the time required for the user to reach the room through the distance L, and then The difference between the two can obtain the set time T1, that is, T1 can be obtained by calculation. Of course, the calculation method is not limited to the above setting method. There are various calculation methods, and the accuracy that can be achieved is not the same. , which cannot be completely enumerated here, but these are all calculations based on the reserved setting time T1 proposed by the present invention, and therefore should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The advantage of the above setting method is that: by accurately calculating the set time T1, or comparing it according to the actual experience table or test table, T1 can be linked with L1 and indoor and outdoor environmental parameters, so that the set time T1 can be more reasonable.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in another possible implementation manner, after the step of S500, the control method of the air conditioner further includes:

Detect whether the air conditioner is running. When the air conditioner is already running, control the air conditioner to maintain the current running state; if the air conditioner does not start running, re-update the distance L between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner, and reset T1.

That is to say, the step of determining whether the air conditioner is running after every ΔT time is added, where ΔT is a fixed value, such as 1 minute or 5 minutes, etc. The set time T1 depends on the indoor and outdoor environment and the difference of L and different. After the ΔT time has elapsed, if the air conditioner is not running, it will return to S100 for re-judgment, because this can prevent the user from simply entering the L1 range and then staying away from the air conditioner for some reason, thus not in the L1 range. In the case of L>L1, the air conditioner is prevented from starting in vain. In addition, due to the uncertainty of the user's moving speed, driving and walking may also be staggered. At this time, the time of T1 will be greatly different. Set the △T time to perform the step of re-determining T1 once, and you can also correct T1 so that the time of T1 time is more accurate. After the △T time, the air conditioner is already in operation, indicating that the time T1 is very short, so there will be no large error in the starting time of the air conditioner. The error is less than △T, and it is also controllable. At this time, the air conditioner has already started to run, so it is not necessary to recalculate the T1 time, just keep the air conditioner running.

The advantage of the above setting method is that a determination step is added after S500. The error of T1 can be more accurately controlled within ΔT, so that the start-up time of the air conditioner is more accurate, and the power is saved more.

In particular, when T1 is set by calculation, it is determined by the rated working state of the air conditioner, but the rated working state of the air conditioner is not necessarily the best energy-saving state of the air conditioner. In the calculation process here, It is also possible to first adjust the working procedure of the air conditioner according to the indoor and outdoor environmental parameters, so that the air conditioner can be more energy-saving, and then judge the time required for the air conditioner to adjust the indoor environmental parameters to the set parameters based on this working procedure, and then carry out T1. calculation, which can save more energy.

To sum up, the present invention can selectively control the air conditioner to be turned on after the standby set time T1 based on the distance L, the environmental parameters and the setting parameters, which solves the problem that the existing air conditioner cannot independently judge the startup time, It is also possible to make the air conditioner save more power according to the set time T1, so that the air conditioner can better serve the user, and at the same time, it can save more power consumption, which also saves more electricity bills for the user.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure without departing from the principle of the present invention, so as to The present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

For example, in an alternative embodiment, when the indoor environment parameter in step S400 has reached the set parameter, the control method further includes: based on the judgment result, controlling the air conditioner to maintain the current operating state, that is, if the current air conditioner does not run, still not running.

For example, in another alternative embodiment, when the comparison result between L and L1 in step S200 is L>L1, the control method further includes: controlling the air conditioner to maintain the current operating state, and returning to S100 to re-update The distance L between the mobile terminal and the air conditioner does not deviate from the principle of the present invention, and therefore falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

In addition, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, the air conditioner includes a control unit, and the control unit is configured to be able to execute the control method of the air conditioner described in any one of the above embodiments.

Wherein, the control unit may physically be a control chip provided in the air conditioner, may be a controller specially used to execute the method of the present invention, or may be a functional module or functional unit of a general controller.

Finally, it should be noted that although the present invention is described by taking an air conditioner as an example, the control method for an air conditioner of the present invention can obviously also be applied to other devices. For example, fresh air fans, indoor air purifiers, etc. can be used, as long as the equipment needs to be automatically activated according to parameters such as distance L.
