Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the sleep mode of the prior art must be set in advance before being able to enter. The temperature and wind direction in the sleep mode are also fixedly set according to the preset program, and only the changes in temperature and wind direction are considered, without consideration of indoor light, wind direction, etc. Effects of factors such as sound and human activity on the sleep environment in sleep mode
Therefore, the existing sleep mode cannot distinguish between the different requirements of people in the state of not sleeping and the state of deep sleep on the ambient temperature, nor can it be set according to the user's personal sleep habits, and the control method is not flexible enough to meet the individual needs of the user.

Embodiment 1

[0021] In this embodiment, taking an indoor air conditioner as an example, an indoor ambient temperature sensor, an infrared human body induction sensor and a light intensity sensor are used. Wherein, the indoor temperature sensor is turned on when the air conditioner is turned on, and is used to detect the temperature of the current indoor environment in real time. The infrared human body induction sensor is used to detect the amount of human activity and the location of the human body. The amount of human activity is divided into five levels, namely: high activity, medium activity, low activity, quiet, and absence. The light intensity sensor is used to collect indoor sunlight intensity (also known as light intensity or illuminance), and the illuminance is divided into three levels: high illuminance, medium illuminance, and low illuminance (dark). The light intensity sensor detects natural light, fluorescent lights, and darker light sources at night. The infrared human body ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method for the automatic sleep mode of an air conditioner. A temperature sensor, a human body sensing sensor and a light intensity sensor are adopted. When an air conditioner begins to operate, the method comprises the following control steps in sequence: judging whether the air conditioner operates in a comfortable mode or not; if yes, starting the human body sensing sensor and the light intensity sensor to detect human body activity level and illumination intensity; judging whether the current indoor temperature value is stable and invariant or not; if yes, judging whether the human body activity level and the illumination intensity satisfy the preset condition or not; if yes, entering an automatic sleep mode, and implementing temperature compensation and wind direction control; when a button on a remote controller or an air conditioner is operated, exiting the automatic sleep mode. The control method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of regulating the temperature compensation amount and changing wind direction according to the detection result so as to improve sleeping comfort, is flexible in design and conforms to user custom and requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioners, in particular to a sleep mode control method of an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] Because factors such as light intensity, temperature, humidity, and sound in the indoor environment have a great influence on people's sleep quality, therefore, most of the existing air conditioners are provided with a sleep mode. Generally in sleep mode, as disclosed in Chinese patent CN101004283A, the air conditioner will reduce the sound it sends out according to the set program, adjust the indoor temperature to an appropriate level, and adjust the wind direction, so that people can enjoy a comfortable environment. deep sleep. [0003] However, the sleep mode of the prior art must be set in advance before being able to enter. The temperature and wind direction in the sleep mode are also fixedly set according to the preset program, and only the changes in temperature and wind direction are consider...
