Abstract
To address the issues of large temperature fluctuations, poor spatial perception, and low control robustness in traditional residential air conditioners, this paper proposes an adaptive temperature control algorithm based on millimeter-wave radar and a Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM). Given that the bed is the primary obstacle and heat source in a bedroom, we develop a bed localization method using point cloud clustering. This method accurately identifies the bed position through time - window filtering, outlier removal, and density clustering. An LGBM weak teacher model, trained on massive cloud data, takes the bed position, indoor temperature, and compressor parameters as inputs to optimize air direction and fan speed, thereby effectively suppressing steady-state fluctuations in the return air temperature. Experiments on 719 real - world devices demonstrate that the bed positioning accuracy reaches 83.6% under an error tolerance of 0.5 m, the average absolute temperature fluctuation is reduced to 0.21◦C, and the control accuracy of the air guide mechanism exceeds 0.98. The proposed method requires no hardware modification, offers strong generalizability and low deployment cost, significantly improves temperature stability and thermal comfort in bedroom environments, and provides a feasible technical solution for intelligent residential air conditioning control.
