In this embodiment, the thermoelectric power generation device that the air conditioner set up can utilize the temperature difference potential energy to produce electric energy, and its principle is that using thomson to be less than producing electric energy, and the physics explanation of thomson effect is: when the temperature in the metal is not uniform, the kinetic energy of free electrons at a high temperature is greater than that of free electrons at a low temperature. Like a gas, thermal diffusion occurs when the temperature is not uniform, so that free electrons diffuse from the high temperature end to the low temperature end, and accumulate at the low temperature end, thereby forming an electric field in the conductor, and inducing a potential difference across the metal rod. This diffusion of free electrons proceeds until the action of the electric field forces on the electrons balances the thermal diffusion of the electrons. Therefore, the temperature difference power generation device of the invention utilizes the temperature difference between the hot joint and the cold joint to generate electric energy.

Specifically, a first hot joint of the thermoelectric generation device can be used for being in heat conduction contact with an external heat source, and a first cold joint can be used for being in heat conduction contact with an external cold source and generating electric energy by utilizing temperature difference conversion between the external heat source and the external cold source.

That is, in the present embodiment, the thermoelectric power generation device generates power by using the temperature difference between the external cooling source and the heat storage device (heat source).

In this embodiment, when the operation mode of the semiconductor regulator of the air conditioner is the cooling mode, the second end is the hot end, and the heat storage device can absorb and store the heat transferred by the second end. Therefore, the semiconductor regulator may be in an on state or an off state when power generation is performed using a temperature difference between an external heat sink and a heat storage device (heat source).

In yet another alternative embodiment, the second cold junction of the thermoelectric generation device may be adapted to be in thermally conductive contact with the first end of the semiconductor temperature regulator for generating electrical energy using temperature differential conversion between the first end of the semiconductor temperature regulator and the external heat source; thus, the control method of the present application further includes: and when the second cold joint of the thermoelectric power generation device is in butt joint with the first end of the semiconductor temperature regulator and the first hot joint of the thermoelectric power generation device is in butt joint with an external heat source, controlling to start the thermoelectric power generation device. That is, in the present embodiment, the thermoelectric power generation device generates power by utilizing the temperature difference between the first end of the semiconductor temperature regulator and the external heat source.

The control method of the present application further includes: when the fact that the residual electric quantity of the power supply device cannot meet the preset electric quantity requirement is detected, the air conditioner is controlled to move to a charging position where a first hot joint of the temperature difference power generation device can be in butt joint with an external heat source and a first cold joint of the temperature difference power generation device can be in butt joint with an external cold source.

Thus, the above detection results in the remaining capacity being identified in the form of a percentage, such as 70% remaining capacity, or 43% remaining capacity, and so on.

In this embodiment, the preset power requirement is a predetermined critical power that can ensure that the basic functions of the mobile air conditioner are maintained in operation, and when the remaining power of the power supply device cannot meet the preset power requirement, that is, the remaining power is lower than the critical power, the power of the power supply device itself is not enough to maintain the operation of all the functions currently activated by the air conditioner, and if the operation of all the functions currently activated is still maintained, the air conditioner may be suddenly powered off and shut down.

optionally, the process of identifying the type of the refrigerated goods stored in the refrigerating chamber in step S1801 includes: the image information of the refrigerated goods in the refrigerating chamber is collected, and the type of the refrigerated goods is identified according to the image information of the refrigerated goods.

Here, the air conditioner of the present application is further provided with an image acquisition device, such as a camera, in the refrigeration chamber, which can be used to take an internal image of the refrigeration chamber; therefore, step S1801 may acquire image information of the refrigerated item within the refrigeration chamber using the image acquisition device.

For example, the refrigerated items in which images are pre-stored in the database include: apple, cabbage, cola, beefsteak and the like, and the corresponding related varieties are fruits, vegetables, beverages and meat respectively. In this way, by performing image analysis on the refrigerated item, the respective category of one or more refrigerated items stored refrigerated within the refrigeration cavity can be determined based on the analyzed image results and pre-stored data within the database.

Or besides the above image comparison, the type of one or more refrigerated goods can be determined according to the text information of letters, characters, numbers and other text information carried on the image information acquired by the scanning image acquisition equipment.

For example, for an article with an outer package, the outer package is generally marked with information related to the article, so that the information of the refrigerated article collected by the image collecting device can record the information marked on the outer package of the article on the image information, and text information which can be recognized on the outer package of the article can be extracted in a scanning mode; based on the scanned text information, the categories of one or more refrigerated goods can be determined through keyword extraction and the like and matching with a preset text library for representing the categories of the refrigerated goods.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the refrigeration parameters include the refrigeration temperature, the cool wind speed, and the cool wind volume.

In an alternative embodiment, the refrigeration method of the present application further comprises: when multiple categories are identified based on the multiple refrigerated items, the refrigeration parameters of the refrigeration chamber are adjusted based on the category with the highest priority according to a preset priority relationship.

For example, categories of refrigerated items include: fruits, vegetables, beverages, and meats. Here, the four categories are fruits, vegetables, meats, and beverages in order of priority from high to low. The refrigeration temperature in the refrigeration parameters corresponding to the four categories is 10 ℃, 12 ℃, 15 ℃ and 19 ℃ in sequence.
