The short rotating shaft is embedded in the connecting rod 162 and can rotate along with the rotation of the connecting rod 162. A plurality of protrusions 163 are randomly set on the swinging vane body 161, the protrusions 163 are preferably 2-4mm high and elliptical, the minor axis length is 2-4mm, and the major axis length is 4-6mm, and the main function is to disperse the outlet air in different directions. The plurality of traverse vanes 160 may be pivoted in synchronization to adjust the up-down direction of the outlet air. The plurality of vertical swing blades 150 are vertically extended and arranged to adjust air outlet in the left-right direction. The plurality of vertical swing blades 150 may be pivoted in synchronization to adjust the left and right direction of the outlet air. In some embodiments, each of the traverse blades 160 is sequentially formed with a plurality of bending structures in the left-right direction; each of the vertical swing blades 150 is sequentially formed with a plurality of bending structures in the up-down direction. For example, each of the yaw blades 160 is waved in the left-right direction, and each of the yaw blades 150 is waved in the up-down direction to disperse wind. In the control method of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, in the natural wind mode, the swing angles of the plurality of yaw blades 160 are intermittently adjusted, and the swing angles of the plurality of vertical swing blades 150 are intermittently adjusted. The air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention improves the structures of the horizontal swing blades 160 and the vertical swing blades 150, the horizontal swing blades 160 are arranged to be wave-shaped as a whole and have a plurality of protrusions 163, the vertical swing blades 150 are arranged to be wave-shaped as a whole, and the air blowing mode can be closer to natural wind by performing the intermittent adjustment on the horizontal swing blades 160 and the vertical swing blades 150, respectively, so as to improve the air blowing feeling of the user.

The first predetermined time is, for example, 1s, 2s, 3s, and generally does not exceed 5 s. The second predetermined time is, for example, 1s, 2s, 3s, and generally does not exceed 5 s. The first preset time and the second preset time can be the same or different. In some embodiments, the first preset time is equal to the second preset time. That is, the yaw blade 160 and the vertical swing blade 150 start swinging at the same time and stop swinging at the same time. The maximum swing angle of the plurality of traverse blades 160 in the up-down direction ranges from 20 ° to 160 °. The maximum swing angle of the plurality of vertical swing vanes 150 in the left-right direction ranges from 0 ° to 180 °. The swinging angle of the horizontal swinging blade 160 for one adjustment is usually 10-30 degrees, and the swinging angle of the vertical swinging blade 150 for one adjustment is usually 10-30 degrees. The swing angle of the horizontal swing blade 160 adjusted once may be the same as or different from the swing angle of the vertical swing blade 150 adjusted once. For example, the swing angle of the yaw blade 160 is 20 ° at a time, and the swing angle of the vertical swing blade 150 is 20 ° at a time. For another example, the swing angle of the yaw blade 160 is adjusted once to be 10 °, and the swing angle of the vertical swing blade 150 is adjusted once to be 30 °.

The indoor unit further includes a receiving device 190 for receiving a natural wind control command. For example, a natural wind button for triggering a natural wind control command is provided on a remote controller corresponding to the air conditioner 100, a user triggers the natural wind control command by pressing or clicking the natural wind button, when the natural wind control command triggered by the natural wind button is detected, a control terminal such as the remote controller sends the natural wind control command to the receiving device 190, and after the receiving device 190 receives the natural wind control command, the control device 200 controls the air conditioner 100 to supply air in a natural wind mode.
In step S502, when it is detected that a user is present in the ambient environment in which the indoor unit of the air conditioner 100 is located, the air conditioner 100 is controlled to supply air in the natural wind mode. The indoor unit further comprises detection means 180 configured to detect whether a user is present in the environment in which the indoor unit is located. The detection device 180 may be a smart body/face sensing device.
In some embodiments, in step S502, the step of detecting whether the user exists in the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located includes:
acquiring an image of the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located;
judging whether a human body image exists in the image or not;
and if so, determining that the user exists in the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located.
The detection steps have the advantages of simple steps and easy operation.
In other embodiments, in step S502, the step of detecting whether the user exists in the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located includes:
acquiring an image of the surrounding environment in a preset area in front of an indoor unit once every preset time interval to obtain a plurality of images;
judging whether the plurality of images have face images or not;
and if so, determining that the user exists in the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located.
That is, the control method of the air conditioner 100 of the present invention considers that there is a user in the surrounding environment of the indoor unit only when the face image is continuously present in the surrounding environment in the predetermined area in front of the indoor unit within a time period, so as to improve the accuracy of the determination and eliminate the situation where the user is accidentally present in front of the indoor unit. For example, the user controls the air conditioner 100 to enter a heating state by touching a control button on the indoor unit, and sits down on the sofa with the outlet 113 of the indoor unit facing thereto after completing the operation. Correspondingly, the detection device 180 first obtains an image of the surrounding environment in a predetermined area in front of the indoor unit once, obtains an image when the user touches a control button on the indoor unit, and further determines that a face image exists in the first image. At an interval of 40s, the detection device 180 acquires the image of the surrounding environment in the preset area in front of the indoor unit again, obtains the image of the sofa over which the user sits right opposite to the indoor unit, and further determines that the second image contains the face image. Thus, it is determined that the user is present in the environment around the indoor unit, and the air conditioner 100 blows air in the natural wind mode. For another example, the user controls the air conditioner 100 to enter a heating state by touching a control button on the indoor unit, and quickly leaves the environment where the indoor unit is located after the operation is completed, for example, enters another room. Correspondingly, the detection device 180 first obtains an image of the surrounding environment in a predetermined area in front of the indoor unit once, obtains an image when the user touches a control button on the indoor unit, and further determines that a face image exists in the first image. At an interval of 40s, the detection device 180 acquires the image of the surrounding environment in the preset area in front of the indoor unit again to obtain a second image, and further determines that the second image does not have the face image. This makes it impossible to determine that the user is present in the environment around the indoor unit, and the air conditioner 100 keeps blowing in the current operation mode. The predetermined region is, for example, a region within an angle range of 160 ° with respect to the entire plane, and is, for example, a region greatly influenced by the air blowing mode of the indoor unit. The preset time may be, for example, 1s, 20s, 40s, etc., and usually does not exceed 1 min. It can be understood that, in this determination method, the users in the front and rear images may be the same user or different users, and it is only necessary to satisfy that, within a period of time, the surrounding environment in the front predetermined area of the indoor unit continuously has the face image, that is, the user is considered to exist in the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located. Thus, the control method of the air conditioner 100 of the present invention is not too complicated while improving the accuracy, so that the accuracy requirement of the detection device 180 can be reduced, and the cost can be saved.
In some embodiments, before the step of detecting whether the user is present in the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located, the method further includes:
judging whether the air conditioner 100 enters a heating state for the first time;
if yes, acquiring a plurality of exhaust temperatures of the compressor 170;
judging whether the difference value of the two adjacent exhaust temperatures is less than or equal to a preset temperature difference threshold value or not;
and after the difference value is determined to be less than or equal to the preset temperature difference threshold value, judging whether a user exists in the surrounding environment where the indoor unit is located.
The first time the air conditioner 100 enters the heating state may include two situations, one is that the air conditioner 100 is initially powered on and enters the heating state, and the other is that the air conditioner 100 is not initially powered on but enters the heating state for the first time or is switched from the cooling state or the air supply state to the heating state for the first time. The control method of the air conditioner 100 of the present invention detects whether the user is present in the ambient environment of the indoor unit after the detected exhaust temperature enters the stable state, and the preset temperature difference threshold may be, for example, 1 ℃, 2 ℃, 3 ℃.
In some embodiments, the step of adjusting the frequency of the compressor 170 of the air conditioner 100 and the rotation speed of the fan 120 of the indoor unit based on the coil temperature of the indoor unit and the preset temperature threshold in step S504 includes:
acquiring the coil temperature of a heat exchanger 220 of an indoor unit in real time;
judging the temperature of the coil and a preset temperature threshold value;
when the temperature of the coil is less than the preset temperature threshold, controlling the compressor 170 to operate at a first preset frequency, and controlling the fan 120 to operate at a first preset rotating speed;
when the temperature of the coil pipe is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold, the compressor 170 is controlled to operate at a second preset frequency, and the fan 120 operates at a second preset rotation speed, wherein the second preset frequency is less than the first preset frequency, and the second preset rotation speed is less than the first preset rotation speed.
According to the control method of the air conditioner 100, the frequency of the compressor 170 is reduced, the speed of the fan 120 is reduced, and the phenomenon that the coil temperature is too high and frequent protection occurs can be avoided by enabling the coil temperature of the heat exchanger 220 of the indoor unit to be larger than or equal to the preset temperature threshold value. The predetermined temperature threshold may be 60 ℃. + -. 5 ℃, for example 55 ℃, 60 ℃, 65 ℃. The first preset frequency may be an optimum frequency set when the air conditioner 100 is shipped from a factory, for example, 75 Hz. The first preset rotation speed may be an optimum rotation speed set when the air conditioner 100 is shipped from a factory, for example, 960 r/min. The second predetermined frequency is lower than the first predetermined frequency and may be, for example, 70Hz, 65Hz, 60 Hz. The second preset rotation speed is smaller than the first preset rotation speed and can be 900r/min, 860r/min and 820r/min, for example. Taking the preset temperature threshold value as 60 ℃, the first preset frequency as 75Hz, the first preset rotation speed as 960r/min, the second preset frequency as 65Hz, and the second preset rotation speed as 860r/min as examples, when the detected coil temperature of the heat exchanger 220 of the indoor unit is 58 ℃, controlling the compressor 170 to operate at 75Hz, and the fan 120 to operate at 960 r/min; when the detected temperature of the coil of the heat exchanger 220 of the indoor unit is 62 ℃, the compressor 170 is controlled to operate at 65Hz, and the fan 120 is controlled to operate at 860 r/min. The coil temperature of the heat exchanger 220 of the indoor unit is detected in real time, and the control of the compressor 170 and the fan 120 according to the coil temperature is also performed in real time.
Referring now to fig. 6, a control method of the air conditioner 100 of the present invention will be described in detail. The control method of the air conditioner 100 of the present invention includes the steps of:
