The air conditioner energy saving control method, apparatus, device and storage medium of the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1-2.
Specifically, the present embodiment provides an energy saving control method for an air conditioner, which is shown in fig. 1 and includes the following steps:
step S100, obtaining an energy-saving mode starting signal;
specifically, an energy-saving mode setting button is arranged on an air conditioner remote controller or an operation panel, a user can send an energy-saving mode starting signal to a receiving module of the air conditioner after pressing the button, and the receiving module enters an energy-saving mode after obtaining the energy-saving mode starting signal.
S200, acquiring an air outlet temperature value of an air conditioner indoor unit;
after entering the energy-saving mode, firstly obtaining the air outlet temperature value of the air conditioner indoor unit.
Specifically, the air conditioner is provided with a temperature sensor at an air outlet of an air conditioner indoor unit, and the air outlet temperature value of the air conditioner is detected in real time.
Step S200 described in this embodiment refers to acquiring an outlet air temperature value at the moment of entering the energy saving mode when entering the energy saving mode. Or, step S200 may also enter the energy saving mode before step S100, that is, within a period of time after obtaining an air outlet temperature value of an air conditioner internal unit. Preferably, the time of the period is within 1 minute, the energy-saving mode is entered within 1 minute, and the air outlet temperature value is not changed greatly.
Step S300, when obtaining the rotating speed increasing signal of the inner fan, limiting the set rotating speed of the inner fan to increase; and/or when the rotating speed reduction signal of the inner fan is obtained and the set temperature value of the air conditioner inner unit is obtained, limiting the set temperature of the air conditioner inner unit to be smaller than the air outlet temperature value; and/or when the rotating speed value of the internal fan is unchanged and the set temperature value of the air conditioner internal unit is obtained, limiting the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit to be less than or equal to the air outlet temperature value;
it should be noted that, the limitation described in this embodiment, for example, limiting the set rotation speed of the internal fan to increase, means that the set rotation speed of the air conditioner can only be unchanged or reduced after entering the energy saving mode. And limiting the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit to be less than the air outlet temperature value, which means that the air conditioner can only control the set temperature to be more than or equal to the air outlet temperature value. And limiting the set temperature of the inner machine of the air conditioner to be less than or equal to the air outlet temperature value, namely the air conditioner can only control the set temperature to be greater than the air outlet temperature value.
Specifically, after the air conditioner enters the energy-saving mode, a user can set a set temperature value of an inner machine of the air conditioner and a rotating speed value of an inner fan through a remote controller. The rotating speed value of the inner fan is limited to be unchanged or reduced but not increased; when the rotating speed of the inner fan is reduced, the set temperature value adjusted by a user is limited to meet the condition that the set temperature value is larger than or equal to the current air outlet temperature value; when the rotating speed of the inner fan is not changed, the set temperature value adjusted by a user is limited to meet the condition that the set temperature value is larger than the current air outlet temperature value.
It should be noted that, in the limitation described in this embodiment, for example, limiting the rotation speed value of the internal fan to be only unchanged or reduced refers to that the air conditioner can only control the rotation speed of the internal fan to be unchanged or reduced in the energy saving mode, and does not increase the rotation speed value of the internal fan when receiving the rotation speed increasing signal. And limiting the condition that the set temperature value adjusted by the user must be greater than or equal to the current air outlet temperature value, namely the set temperature value set by the user must be greater than or equal to the current air outlet temperature value, and when the set temperature value set by the user is smaller than the air outlet temperature value, the air conditioner does not adjust the current set temperature. And limiting the set temperature value adjusted by the user to meet the condition that the set temperature value is larger than the current air outlet temperature value, namely the set temperature value set by the user is larger than the air outlet temperature value, and when the set temperature value set by the user is smaller than or equal to the air outlet temperature value, the air conditioner does not adjust the current set temperature.
After the air conditioner enters the energy-saving mode, the air conditioner can only accept the adjustment of the rotating speed of the inner fan by a user when the rotating speed of the inner fan is reduced or the rotating speed of the inner fan is controlled to be unchanged, and whether the set temperature value adjusted by the user is larger than the air outlet temperature value or larger than or equal to the air outlet temperature value is limited according to whether the rotating speed is reduced or not.
For example, the air conditioner is divided into five air outlet gears, namely a strong wind gear, a high wind gear, a medium wind gear, a low wind gear and a mute gear, wherein the rotating speed of the air conditioner is gradually reduced, and the air conditioner enters an energy-saving mode when the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode at the high wind gear. At the moment, the user adjusts the rotating speed of the inner fan through the remote controller, the air conditioner can be adjusted to operate at a high wind gear, a medium wind gear, a low wind gear or a mute gear, and the air conditioner can not be adjusted to operate at a strong wind gear in an energy-saving mode, so that the power consumption of the air conditioner is prevented from being further increased.
Step S400, acquiring an energy-saving mode confirmation signal;
after the user sets the rotating speed of the internal fan and the set temperature of the internal machine, the setting is confirmed by selecting the remote controller, and an energy-saving mode confirmation signal is sent to the air conditioner.
And S500, adjusting the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit according to the obtained set temperature value, and adjusting the rotating speed of the fan in the air conditioner according to the obtained rotating speed value of the internal fan.
After the air conditioner obtains the energy-saving mode confirmation signal, the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit is adjusted according to the set temperature value set by the user, and the rotating speed of the internal fan of the air conditioner is adjusted according to the rotating speed value of the internal fan set by the user.
According to the invention, through setting the energy-saving mode, the user is limited to only reduce the rotating speed of the inner fan in the energy-saving mode, the set temperature value set by the user is limited according to whether the rotating speed of the inner fan is reduced, and the set temperature value set by the user is limited according to the air outlet temperature of the inner machine of the air conditioner, so that when the user sets the operating parameters of the energy-saving mode, the energy-saving and consumption-reducing effects are met, meanwhile, the user can be assisted to set the energy-saving operating parameters by himself, and the refrigeration requirement of the user is met. The invention saves energy through the air outlet temperature, can reduce the running power of the air conditioner under the condition of meeting the basic requirements of users, and saves energy and electricity; compared with the existing fixed temperature and the fixed air outlet rotating speed, the energy-saving air conditioner can save energy under the condition that the refrigeration requirements can be met in different environment temperature intervals, and the application range of the energy-saving mode is widened.
Further, on the basis of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further provides a specific embodiment that limits the increase of the set rotation speed of the inner fan, and the step S300 includes the following steps:
when the rotating speed increasing signal of the inner fan is obtained, the rotating speed of the inner fan is controlled to be unchanged; and/or when the rotating speed reduction signal of the inner fan is obtained and the set temperature value of the air conditioner inner unit is obtained, limiting the set temperature of the air conditioner inner unit to be smaller than the air outlet temperature value; and/or when the rotating speed value of the internal fan is unchanged and the set temperature value of the air conditioner internal unit is obtained, limiting the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit to be less than or equal to the air outlet temperature value.
When the user sets the rotating speed of the inner fan of the air conditioner to increase through the remote controller, the air conditioner processor receives the rotating speed increasing signal, but the rotating speed value is not adjusted according to the rotating speed increasing signal, but the rotating speed of the inner fan is controlled to be unchanged. When the user sets the rotating speed reduction of the fan in the air conditioner through the remote controller, the air conditioner processor receives the rotating speed reduction signal and controls the rotating speed reduction of the fan in the air conditioner according to the rotating speed reduction signal.
The method and the device limit that a user can send the rotating speed increasing signal through the remote controller, only set a corresponding program in the processor, and do not execute a command corresponding to the rotating speed increasing signal in the energy-saving mode. The remote controller and the receiving module of the air conditioner are not required to be changed, and the rotating speed of the inner fan is not interfered to be increased by a user through the remote controller in a non-energy-saving mode.
Specifically, in step S310, after the step of controlling the inner fan to keep the rotation speed unchanged, the following steps are further performed: and generating a rotating speed reminding instruction.
Specifically, a reminding instruction is made on a remote controller or a display panel to remind a user that the air outlet rotating speed cannot be increased in the energy-saving mode.
Specifically, the voice prompt can also be sent out through the sound module.
Further, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, this embodiment further provides a step of limiting a set temperature of an air conditioner internal unit to be less than the outlet air temperature value, including:
and when the obtained set temperature value is determined to be smaller than the air outlet temperature value, controlling the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit to be unchanged.
When the air conditioner obtains the inner fan rotating speed reduction signal and obtains the set temperature value of the inner machine of the air conditioner, the set temperature value is determined to be smaller than the current air outlet temperature value under the condition, the set temperature of the inner fan of the air conditioner is controlled to be unchanged, and the increase of energy consumption caused by the fact that a user greatly reduces the set temperature is prevented.
Preferably, after the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit is controlled to be unchanged, a temperature reminding instruction is generated, the air conditioner remote controller or the display panel is controlled to display reminding words, and a user is informed that the set temperature value needs to be larger than or equal to the air outlet temperature value under the current condition. Or the sound module is controlled to send out voice prompt to inform a user that the set temperature value needs to be larger than or equal to the air outlet temperature value under the current condition.
Further, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, this embodiment further provides a step of limiting a set temperature of an air conditioner internal unit to be less than or equal to the outlet air temperature value, including:
and when the obtained set temperature value is determined to be less than or equal to the air outlet temperature value, controlling the set temperature of the air conditioner internal unit to be unchanged.
