Control method of air deflectors of air conditioner, and air conditioner

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a control method of air deflectors of an air conditioner, and the air conditioner. In the control method of the air deflectors of the air conditioner, after a startup command is received, before the air deflectors of the air conditioner move from an air outlet of the air conditioner to preset positions, the air deflectors start to rotate for unfolding, wherein the preset positions are final positions where the air deflectors move outward and downward relative to the air outlet, and the process when the air deflectors move outward and downward is partially overlapped with the process when the air deflectors rotate for unfolding in time. In the present disclosure, since the rotation unfolding of the air deflectors in a startup phase does not need to be performed after the air deflectors move to the preset positions, but start before the air deflectors move to the preset positions, the rotation unfolding of the air deflectors does not need to take a separate time. Therefore, the startup time would be considerably shortened, which facilitates improving the user experience.

1 . A control method of air deflectors of an air conditioner, wherein after a startup command is received, before air deflectors ( 1 ) of the air conditioner move from an air outlet ( 2 ) of the air conditioner to preset positions, the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for unfolding, wherein the preset positions are final positions where the air deflectors ( 1 ) move outward and downward relative to the air outlet, and the process when the air deflectors ( 1 ) move outward and downward is partially overlapped with the process when the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for unfolding in time. 
     
     
         2 . The control method according to  claim 1 , wherein after the startup command is received, while the air deflectors ( 1 ) start to move from the air outlet ( 2 ) to the preset positions, the air deflectors ( 1 ) start to rotate for unfolding. 
     
     
         3 . The control method according to  claim 1 , wherein after the startup command is received, when the air deflectors ( 1 ) move from the air outlet ( 2 ) to anti-interference positions located above the preset positions, the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for unfolding, wherein the anti-interference positions are positions configured to prevent upper parts of the air deflectors ( 1 ) from interfering with the air outlet ( 2 ) in the process when the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for unfolding. 
     
     
         4 . The control method according to  claim 1 , wherein after a shutdown command is received, the air deflectors ( 1 ) move in anyone of the following manners:
 while the air deflectors ( 1 ) start to move from the preset positions to the air outlet ( 2 ), the air deflectors ( 1 ) start to rotate for folding;   after the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for folding, the air deflectors ( 1 ) move from the preset positions to the air outlet ( 2 ); and   after the air deflectors ( 1 ) move from the preset positions to the air outlet ( 2 ), the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for folding.   
     
     
         5 . An air conditioner, comprising an air outlet ( 2 ), a plurality of air deflectors ( 1 ), a first power means and a second power means, wherein the first power means is configured to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to move between the air outlet ( 2 ) and preset positions below an outer side of the air outlet ( 2 ), the second power means is configured to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to rotate for unfolding or folding, wherein after a startup command is received, the second power means is configured to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to rotate for unfolding before the first power means starts to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to move from the air outlet ( 2 ) to the preset positions, and the process when the air deflectors ( 1 ) move outward and downward is partially overlapped with the process when the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for unfolding in time. 
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner according to  claim 5 , wherein after the startup command is received, the second power means is configured to start to rotate the air deflectors ( 1 ) to unfold, while the first power means starts to move the air deflectors ( 1 ) from the air outlet ( 2 ) to the preset positions. 
     
     
         7 . The air conditioner according to  claim 5 , wherein after the startup command is received, the second power means is configured to start to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to rotate for unfolding, when the first power means controls the air deflectors ( 1 ) to move from the air outlet ( 2 ) to anti-interference positions located above the preset positions, wherein the anti-interference positions are positions configured to prevent the upper parts of the air deflectors ( 1 ) from interfering with the air outlet ( 2 ) in the process when the air deflectors ( 1 ) rotate for unfolding. 
     
     
         8 . The air conditioner according to  claim 7 , wherein the first power means comprises a first stepping motor, the second power means comprises a second stepping motor, after the startup command is received, the second power means is configured to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to rotate for unfolding after the first power means acts for X steps, X=1, 2, 3 . . . , wherein when the first power means acts for the X steps, the air deflectors ( 1 ) is configured to move from the air outlet ( 2 ) to the anti-interference positions. 
     
     
         9 . The air conditioner according to  claim 5 , wherein after a shutdown command is received, the first power means and the second power means is configured to start acting at the same time, in order to start to rotate the air deflectors ( 1 ) to fold while starting to move the air deflectors ( 1 ) from the preset positions to the air outlet ( 2 ). 
     
     
         10 . The air conditioner according to  claim 5 , wherein after a shutdown command is received, the first power means is configured to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to move from the preset positions to the air outlet ( 2 ), after the second power means controls the air deflectors ( 1 ) to rotate for folding; or, after a shutdown command is received, the second power means is configured to control the air deflectors ( 1 ) to rotate for folding, after the first power means controls the air deflectors ( 1 ) to move from the preset positions to the air outlet ( 2 ).
