the sum of the first preset time and the second preset time is the standard operation time of the sterilization device, and the first preset time is greater than the second preset time.
The sweeping robot is associated with the air conditioner, the sweeping robot is communicated with the controller of the air conditioner exemplarily, the fan and the sterilizing device are operated after the time reaches a sterilizing time point set by a user or a sterilizing instruction sent by the user is received, the sterilizing device sprays the mist-shaped sterilizing agent into a room to sterilize the room, the fan and the sterilizing device are stopped when the operating time of the sterilizing device reaches a first preset time, the sterilizing agent in the room continues to kill germs floating in the air, and as time goes on, part of the sterilizing agent falls onto the ground of the room, so that the sweeping robot cleans the room and can clean the sterilizing agent falling onto the ground.
At the in-process that the robot of sweeping the floor cleaned the ground in room, originally attached to subaerial germ, partly is absorbed by the robot of sweeping the floor, some virus can float to the air along with the raise dust in addition, at this moment, make fan and sterilizing equipment rerun, continue to spray vaporific germicide in the room, will also kill along with the raise dust floats to the germ (originally attached to subaerial) in the air, so, to the room disinfect more thoroughly, bactericidal effect is better, the efficiency of disinfecting is also high.
Illustratively, the standard operation time of the sterilization device is 15 minutes, the first preset time is 12 minutes, the second preset time is 3 minutes, the sterilization device is operated for 12 minutes and then is suspended, the floor sweeping robot is used for sweeping the room during the suspension period, and after the sweeping is completed, the sterilization device is operated again for 3 minutes and then is stopped.
It should be noted that, a person skilled in the art can flexibly allocate specific values of the first preset time and the second preset time according to specific situations.
Preferably, the ratio of the first preset time to the second preset time is 3:1 to 4: 1. That is, the first preset time is preferably 3/4 to 4/5 of the standard operation time, the second preset time is preferably 1/5 to 1/4 of the standard operation time, illustratively, the standard operation time is 15 minutes, the first preset time is 11.25 minutes to 12 minutes, the second preset time is 3 minutes to 3.75 minutes, and the sum of the first preset time and the second preset time is 15 minutes.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 5, the control method of the present invention further includes: and during the operation of the sterilizing device, the air purifying component is moved out of the position of the air inlet.
When the sterilizing device is operated, if the air purifying component covers the position of the air inlet, the air purifying component is driven to move out of the position of the air inlet through the driving device, and if the air evolution component does not cover the air inlet, the air purifying component is fixed. By such arrangement, the air purifying component can be prevented from filtering the bactericide in the air to influence the sterilizing effect on the room.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 5, after "stopping the sterilizing devices from operating" is performed, the control method further includes: covering the air inlet with an air purifying member; when the time for the fan to operate again reaches a third preset time, stopping the fan from operating; and the third preset time is greater than the second preset time.
After the air purification component is moved out of the position of the air inlet, the fan and the sterilization device are operated, the atomized bactericide is sprayed into the room, when the operation time of the sterilization device reaches a first preset time (for example, 12 minutes), the fan and the sterilization device are stopped, the bactericide is continuously sterilized for the room, meanwhile, the sweeping robot is used for cleaning the room, after the cleaning is finished, the fan and the sterilization device are operated again, the atomized bactericide is continuously sprayed into the room, when the operation time of the sterilization device reaches a second preset time (for example, 3 minutes), the sterilization device is stopped, the fan is continuously operated, the air purification component covers the air inlet again, when the fan is operated again for a third preset time (for example, 15 minutes), the operation is stopped, so that the bactericide in the air of the room and the virus wrapped by the bactericide are filtered through the air purification component, not only eliminates the peculiar smell of the bactericide, but also prevents the bactericide from falling on the floor of a room.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, a person skilled in the art may set a specific value of the third preset time according to experiments or experience, as long as the critical point determined by the third preset time can complete the purification of the air in the room.
Preferably, the control method of the present invention further comprises: in the process of sterilizing a room, if it is detected that an electronic lock of a door of the room is unlocked, the sterilizing apparatus is stopped and the door is selectively allowed to be opened according to a progress of sterilization.
In the process of sterilizing a room, a large amount of bactericide needs to be sprayed into the room, so that a user is not suitable for being in the room during the process of sterilizing the room, and generally chooses to sterilize the room during an outgoing period (such as a working period).
Therefore, the electronic lock of the door is communicated with the controller of the air conditioner, and in the process of sterilizing the room, if the electronic lock of the door is unlocked, which indicates that the user returns, the electronic lock sends a signal to the controller, the controller firstly controls the sterilizing device to stop running, does not spray the sterilizing agent any more, and selectively allows the door to be opened according to the sterilizing process.
It should be noted that two unlocking instructions can be set for the electronic lock of the door, the user can unlock the first unlocking instruction through a fingerprint or a password, the second unlocking instruction is controlled by the controller of the air conditioner, under a general condition, the electronic lock only starts one unlocking instruction, namely the first unlocking instruction, and under the condition, the electronic lock can be unlocked and the door can be opened as long as the user inputs a correct fingerprint or password; however, in the process of sterilizing the room, the electronic lock starts two unlocking instructions, in this case, the user inputs a correct fingerprint or password to unlock only the first unlocking instruction, and cannot unlock the electronic lock completely, and the controller of the air conditioner is required to send the second unlocking instruction to unlock the electronic lock completely, so as to open the door.
Preferably, the step of "selectively allowing the door to open according to the sterilization progress" specifically includes: comparing the operating time of the sterilization device with a fourth preset time; if the running time is less than the fourth preset time, allowing the door to be opened; if the operation time is greater than or equal to the fourth preset time, the door is not allowed to open.
When the operation time of the sterilizing device is less than the fourth preset time, the operation time of the sterilizing device is short, and the sterilizing agent sprayed to the room is not much, in this case, the door can be allowed to be opened, so that the user can enter the room; on the contrary, when the operation time of the sterilizing device is greater than or equal to the fourth preset time, the operation time of the sterilizing device is longer, and more sterilizing agents are sprayed into the room.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, a person skilled in the art may flexibly set a specific value of the fourth preset time according to experiments or experiences, as long as the critical point determined by the fourth preset time can determine that the bactericide sprayed by the sterilizing apparatus will not cause damage to the user. Further, in the case where the air conditioner is provided with a plurality of sterilization modes, a specific numerical value of the fourth preset time corresponding to each sterilization mode may be set according to the injection speed of the sterilization apparatus in each sterilization mode.
Preferably, the control method of the present invention further comprises: under the condition that the door is not allowed to be opened, the intelligent window of the room is opened, the room is ventilated, and meanwhile the user is informed of the time when the user can enter the room.
The room is provided with an intelligent window, the intelligent window is associated with the air conditioner, the intelligent window is exemplarily communicated with a controller of the air conditioner, the concentration of the bactericide in the room is higher under the condition that the room is not allowed to be opened, in this condition, the intelligent window of the room can be opened, the room is ventilated, the concentration of the bactericide in the room is reduced, a user can be allowed to enter the room as soon as possible, and meanwhile, the time for which ventilation is probably needed to reduce the concentration of the bactericide in the room to a safe concentration can be judged according to the running time of the sterilizing device, and the time is informed to the user.
It should be noted that the required ventilation time can be obtained through tests, for example, the standard operation time of the sterilization device is 15 minutes, after the sterilization device operates for 3 minutes, the door is not allowed to be opened, in order to obtain the corresponding ventilation time, the sterilization device operates for 3 minutes and then stops operating, then the intelligent window of the room is opened for ventilation, and simultaneously the concentration of the bactericide in the room is detected, after the concentration of the bactericide in the room is reduced to the safe concentration, the ventilation time is recorded, if the ventilation time is between 3 minutes and 4 minutes, the ventilation time corresponding to the operation of the sterilization device for 3 minutes is set to 4 minutes, a certain safety margin is reserved, and similarly, after the sterilization device operates for 4 minutes and stops operating, then the intelligent window of the room is opened for ventilation, the ventilation time when the bactericide in the room is reduced to the safe concentration is recorded, after the ventilation time corresponding to the operation of the sterilization device for 3 minutes to 15 minutes is tested and recorded, and the time information is prestored in the controller of the air conditioner, so that the air conditioner can acquire the ventilation time according to the running time of the sterilizing device so as to inform a user of the time when the user can enter the room.
Preferably, the control method of the present invention further comprises: in a case where the door is not allowed to be opened, when the number of times the electronic lock is unlocked reaches a preset number of times, the door is allowed to be opened. Illustratively, the preset number of times is 3, in the case that the door is not allowed to be opened, if the user unlocks the electronic lock 3 times by means of the fingerprint or the password, it indicates that the user may have to enter the room in an emergency, and in this case, the controller sends a second unlocking instruction to the electronic lock, allowing the door to be opened.
It should be noted that after the user is allowed to enter the room, the air conditioner may send a voice prompt to inform the user that the room is being sterilized and ask the user to leave the room as soon as possible.
It should also be noted that, during the sterilization of a room, if it is detected that the electronic lock of the door of the room is unlocked, the door may be selectively allowed to open according to the concentration of the sterilant in the room.
Illustratively, the step of "selectively allowing the door to open according to the concentration of the bactericide in the room" specifically includes: acquiring a concentration value of the bactericide in the room; comparing the concentration value with a preset value; if the concentration value is smaller than the preset value, allowing the door to be opened; if the concentration value is greater than or equal to the preset value, the door is not allowed to open.
A bactericide concentration detection sensor can be arranged in a room and is communicated with a controller of the air conditioner, after the controller receives a signal sent by an electronic lock, the concentration value of the bactericide in the room is compared with a preset value, and when the concentration value is smaller than the preset value, the concentration of the bactericide in the room is lower, under the condition, a door can be allowed to be opened, and a user can enter the room; conversely, when the concentration value is greater than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the concentration of the bactericide in the room is high, in which case the door is not allowed to open, and the user is prohibited from entering the room.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, a person skilled in the art may flexibly set a specific numerical value of the preset value according to experiments or experiences, as long as a critical point determined by the preset value can determine that the bactericide in the room will not cause damage to the user.
