Method and device for controlling air conditioner
View Patent ↗Provided are a method and device for controlling an air conditioner. The method comprises: acquiring a current indoor temperature in an air conditioner control region and an initial user-set temperature of the air conditioner; and adjusting the initial user-set temperature when an indoor temperature is detected to meet a preset condition, energy consumption corresponding to the adjusted set temperature being lower than energy consumption corresponding to the initial user-set temperature. The method reduces power consumption of the air conditioner while ensuring that the temperature of the air conditioner is basically in line with expectations.
1. A method for controlling an air conditioner, the method comprising:
acquiring an indoor temperature in an air conditioner control region and an initial user-set temperature of the air conditioner; and
adjusting the initial user-set temperature when the indoor temperature meets a preset condition, wherein energy consumption corresponding to the adjusted set temperature being lower than energy consumption corresponding to the initial user-set temperature,
wherein when the air conditioner is operated in a heating mode, the preset condition comprises the indoor temperature is greater than or equal to a first temperature value and the adjusted set temperature is lower than the initial user-set temperature, and
wherein the adjusting the initial user-set temperature comprises,
adjusting, when the initial user-set temperature is greater than a second temperature value, the initial user-set temperature to the second temperature value, and
reducing the initial user-set temperature when the initial user-set temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature value, wherein the adjusted set temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature value.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the air conditioner is operated in a refrigeration mode, the preset condition comprises: the indoor temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature value; and the adjusted set temperature is higher than the initial user-set temperature.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the adjusting the initial user-set temperature comprises:
adjusting the initial user-set temperature to the second temperature value when the initial user-set temperature is less than the second temperature value; and
increasing the initial user-set temperature when the initial user-set temperature is greater than or equal to the second temperature value, wherein the adjusted set temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature value.
4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
recording a starting time of the air conditioner; and
continuously acquiring the indoor temperature and the initial user-set temperature from a current time when an interval between the current time and the starting time is a preset time.
5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
generating an adjusting command according to the initial user-set temperature, wherein the adjusting instruction comprises the adjusted set temperature; and
sending the adjusting instruction to the air conditioner.
6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
detecting whether there is a user intervention instruction after sending the adjusting instruction to the air conditioner, wherein the user intervention instruction is an instruction to change the adjusted set temperature by the user; and
updating a user intervention parameter when the user intervention instruction is detected, wherein the user intervention parameter is used for indicating a number of times of detecting the user intervention instruction.
7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:
stopping adjusting the initial user-set temperature when the user intervention parameter is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value.
8. A device for controlling an air conditioner, comprising:
an acquiring module, configured to acquire an indoor temperature in an air conditioner control region, and an initial user-set temperature of the air conditioner; and
an adjusting module, configured to adjust the initial user-set temperature acquired by the acquiring module when the indoor temperature acquired by the acquiring module meets a preset condition, wherein energy consumption corresponding to the adjusted set temperature being lower than energy consumption corresponding to the initial user-set temperature,
wherein when the air conditioner is operated in a heating mode, the preset condition comprises the indoor temperature is greater than or equal to a first temperature value and the adjusted set temperature is lower than the initial user-set temperature, and
the adjusting module is further configured to adjust, when the initial user-set temperature is greater than a second temperature value, the initial user-set temperature to the second temperature value; and to reduce the initial user-set temperature when the initial user-set temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature value, wherein the adjusted set temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature value.
