Referring to fig. 2, in an embodiment of the energy consumption estimation method of the present invention, the energy consumption estimation method includes the following steps:

step S10, acquiring the indoor environment temperature in the air conditioner acting space and the set temperature of the air conditioner;

step S20, determining the estimated operation power of the air conditioner according to the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature;

step S30, acquiring the estimated operation time of the air conditioner use process, wherein the estimated operation time is the time from the current time point to the shutdown time point of the air conditioner use process;

and step S40, determining an estimated energy consumption value corresponding to the air conditioner using process according to the estimated operating power and the estimated operating time.

When the air conditioner receives a starting instruction or a temperature adjusting instruction, the energy consumption estimation method can be executed, so that the air conditioner can estimate the energy consumption of the air conditioner in the using process. The temperature adjusting instruction refers to a temperature adjusting setting instruction sent by a user through a control terminal of the air conditioner, and the user can adjust the temperature setting of the air conditioner through the temperature adjusting setting instruction, so that the air conditioner can refrigerate or heat at different set temperatures.

It should be noted that, when the air conditioner is provided with the energy consumption estimation function, the energy consumption estimation can be performed automatically when the air conditioner is started or receives a temperature adjustment instruction for adjusting the set temperature. Or, the user can also send an energy consumption estimation instruction through the control terminal, so that the air conditioner starts to execute the energy consumption estimation function when receiving the energy consumption estimation instruction.

In this embodiment, after the air conditioner starts the energy consumption estimation function, the indoor ambient temperature in the operating space of the air conditioner and the set temperature of the air conditioner may be obtained.

Specifically, the air conditioner may obtain a setting parameter, and then determine a set temperature of the air conditioner in a current operation state according to the setting parameter. The set temperature is the temperature set by the air conditioner control terminal such as a remote control, a mobile terminal or a control panel. In one embodiment, the air conditioner may further include a temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor may be provided integrally with an indoor unit of the air conditioner or may be provided separately from the indoor unit. The temperature sensor is configured to detect an indoor ambient temperature within the active space. So that the air conditioner can acquire the indoor ambient temperature through the temperature sensor. As another embodiment, the air conditioner may be provided with a communication device, so that the air conditioner may be in communication connection with other terminals with temperature detection functions in the operation space based on the communication device to acquire the indoor ambient temperature through the other terminals with temperature detection functions. Example 1, the air conditioner may be communicatively connected to an intelligent wearable device (e.g., an intelligent bracelet) of a user in an action space through a communication device, so as to detect an indoor ambient temperature through the intelligent wearable device. Example 2 the air conditioner can with in the effect space, possess the air purifier of temperature detection function and carry out communication connection for the air conditioner can acquire indoor ambient temperature through air purifier.

It should be noted that the communication device of the air conditioner may include a wireless communication module such as a bluetooth communication module, a WiFi communication module and/or a ZigBee communication module, so that the air conditioner may be compatibly connected with more temperature measuring devices.

Further, after acquiring the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, the air conditioner may calculate a difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature. And then determining the estimated operation power of the air conditioner according to the difference value. In the actual operation process of the air conditioner, the air conditioner can be generally divided into two operation stages, wherein the first operation stage is a temperature regulation stage, namely when the indoor environment temperature does not reach the set temperature, the air conditioner regulates the indoor environment temperature. The second operation stage is a temperature maintaining stage, namely the indoor environment temperature in the space where the air conditioner acts reaches the set temperature, and the air conditioner maintains the indoor environment temperature at the set temperature. And when the air conditioner operates in the first stage, the corresponding power is different from the power corresponding to the air conditioner operating in the second stage. Therefore, the estimated operating power may include a first estimated operating power corresponding to the first operating phase and a second estimated operating power corresponding to the second operating phase.

In addition, when the air conditioner operates in the first operation stage, the operation power of the air conditioner and the difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature have a mapping relation, namely, after the difference between the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature is determined, the operation power of the same air conditioner is also determined. Therefore, in an experimental environment, different difference values and running powers corresponding to the difference values can be obtained to form a difference value data set and a running power data set, a neural network model is trained according to the difference value data and the power data set, and the trained neural network model is stored in the air conditioner, so that after the air conditioner obtains the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, the power corresponding to the first running stage of the air conditioner in running can be determined based on the difference values.

It should be noted that, when the neural network model is trained, data such as the fan rotation speed and/or the compressor frequency corresponding to the air conditioner in different situations corresponding to the difference in the experimental environment may also be used as training data, and then, when the power corresponding to the first stage is determined according to the neural network model and the difference, the pre-stored result is more accurate.

It is understood that in the use scenario of the air conditioner, the cooling mode is generally used only when the ambient temperature is high, and the heating mode is used when the ambient temperature is low. Therefore, when the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the indoor ambient temperature is generally higher than the set temperature, and when the air conditioner operates in the heating mode, the indoor ambient temperature is generally lower than the set temperature. Therefore, in order to simplify the calculation and avoid the situation where the difference is negative, the difference may be defined as the set temperature minus the indoor ambient temperature in the heating mode and the difference may be defined as the indoor ambient temperature minus the set temperature in the cooling mode.

After the first estimated operation power corresponding to the first operation stage is obtained, the air conditioner can estimate a second estimated operation power corresponding to a second operation stage of the air conditioner according to the set temperature and the neural network model.

It can be understood that, when the neural network model is trained, the air conditioner may obtain a historical operating power set of the air conditioner in a historical operating process under a test environment and a historical indoor environment temperature set and a historical set temperature set corresponding to the historical operating power set, wherein the historical operating power set includes a first historical operating power subset under the first operating stage and a second historical operating power subset under the second operating stage, train the neural network model according to the first historical operating power subset, the second historical operating power subset, the historical indoor environment temperature set and the historical set temperature set, and store the neural network model into the air conditioner.

Further, after the air conditioner determines the first estimated operating power and the second estimated operating power, the estimated operating time of the air conditioner use project of this time can be obtained, wherein the estimated operating time is the time from the current time point to the shutdown time point of the air conditioner use process of this time.

Specifically, the air conditioner may be provided with a clock, so that the air conditioner may acquire the current time point according to the clock of the air conditioner. And/or the air conditioner may be provided with a network interface so that the air conditioner may be connected with the server or other air conditioners through the network interface to acquire the current time point through the server or other terminals. After the current time point is obtained, the air conditioner needs to estimate the shutdown time point of the air conditioner in the using process.

As an implementation manner, the air conditioner may be provided with a timed shutdown function, and when a user sets a timed shutdown of the use process of the air conditioner, the shutdown time point of the use process of the air conditioner is determined according to the set information of the timed shutdown, and then the estimated operation time length of the use process of the air conditioner may be determined according to the shutdown time point and the current time point.

It is understood that the estimated operation time period includes a first operation time period during which the air conditioner is operated in the first operation stage and a second operation time period during which the air conditioner is operated in the second operation stage. And the larger the absolute value of the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is, the longer the first operation time period of the first operation stage of the air conditioner is. Therefore, the air conditioner can save the actual operation data of the air conditioner in real time in the past time. Wherein the actual operation data includes a temperature adjustment speed at which the air conditioner operates according to the current operation parameter. And the temperature adjusting speed is the change rate of the difference value when the air conditioner runs by using the current running parameters. And when the temperature difference is determined to be yes, the operation parameters of the air conditioner are also determined, so that the first operation time period of the air conditioner in the first operation stage can be estimated according to the difference. And the second operation time length is the difference value of the estimated operation time length and the preset first operation time length. Thus, after the first operating time period is determined, the second operating time period may also be determined.

It is understood that when the energy consumption pre-storing function is activated, the indoor ambient temperature has reached the set temperature, and the first operation time period for the air conditioner to operate in the first operation stage is 0.

Further, after the first operation duration, the first estimated operation power, the second operation duration and the second estimated operation power are determined, a first estimated energy consumption value corresponding to the air conditioner in the first operation stage can be calculated according to the first operation duration and the first estimated operation power, a second estimated energy consumption value corresponding to the air conditioner in the second operation stage can be calculated according to the second operation duration and the second estimated operation power, and then the estimated energy consumption value corresponding to the air conditioner use process at this time can be determined according to the first estimated energy consumption value and the second estimated energy consumption value.

Optionally, after the air conditioner determines the estimated energy consumption value, prompt information may be output according to the estimated energy consumption value. The mode of outputting the prompt information can be that the estimated energy consumption value is sent to the control terminal so that the control terminal can display the estimated energy consumption value in a display interface, or the control terminal plays the prompt information corresponding to the estimated energy consumption value through a voice playing device. So as to prompt the user to estimate the energy consumption value in the using process of the air conditioner. Or a display panel and/or a voice playing device are/is arranged on the indoor unit of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can directly display the estimated energy consumption value on the display panel and/or directly play the prompt information corresponding to the estimated energy consumption value through the voice playing device.

In the technical scheme disclosed in this embodiment, an indoor environment temperature in an air conditioner action space and a set temperature of the air conditioner are firstly obtained, then an estimated operation power of the air conditioner is determined according to the indoor environment temperature and the set temperature, an estimated operation time of the use process of the air conditioner is further obtained, the estimated operation time is a time from a current time point to a shutdown time point of the use process of the air conditioner, and finally an estimated energy consumption value corresponding to the use process of the air conditioner is determined according to the estimated operation power and the estimated operation time. Therefore, the effect that the energy consumption value required by the air conditioner in the using process can be estimated when the air conditioner is started in the using process is achieved.

Referring to fig. 3, based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment the step S30 includes:

step S31, obtaining a historical shutdown time point data set;

step S32, determining the shutdown time point of the current air conditioner use process according to the historical shutdown time point data set, and acquiring the current time point;

step S33, determining the estimated running time length according to the shutdown time point and the current time point of the current air conditioner using process

The air conditioner stores a historical shutdown time point data set, wherein the historical shutdown time point data and the time point corresponding to the historical shutdown operation executed by the air conditioner are stored.

When the air conditioner receives a shutdown instruction, the corresponding time point when the shutdown control instruction is received can be obtained, and the corresponding time point when the shutdown control instruction is received is saved to a historical shutdown time zone data set so as to update the historical shutdown time point data set saved in the air conditioner. Or, when the air conditioner executes a shutdown action, acquiring time corresponding to the execution of the shutdown action, and updating the historical shutdown time point data set according to the time corresponding to the execution of the shutdown action.

In this embodiment, when the user does not set the timer shutdown, the air conditioner may read the historical shutdown time point data set, and then determine the common shutdown time point of the user according to the historical shutdown time point data set. For example, the historical shutdown time point data may be concentrated, and an average value of a preset number (for example, 10) of shutdown time points closest to the current time may be used as the shutdown time point in the current air conditioner using process.

And after the shutdown time point is determined, the current time point can be obtained, so that the estimated running time length can be determined according to the shutdown time point and the current time point of the air conditioner in the using process.

In the technical scheme disclosed in this embodiment, a historical shutdown time point data set is obtained, then a shutdown time point of the current air conditioner use process is determined according to the historical shutdown time point data set, a current time point is obtained, and the estimated operation time length is determined according to the shutdown time point of the current air conditioner use process and the current time point, so that an effect of estimating the shutdown time point according to user use habits is achieved.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, where the air conditioner includes a memory, a processor, and an energy consumption estimation program stored in the memory and operable on the processor, and the energy consumption estimation program, when executed by the processor, implements the steps of the energy consumption estimation method according to the above embodiments.
