As shown in fig. 3, the sterilization control method of the present invention includes the steps of:
before sterilizing a room, acquiring a humidity value of the room;
selectively causing the air conditioner to perform a sterilization mode to sterilize the room according to the humidity value.
The humidity sensor can be arranged on a room or an air conditioner, the humidity sensor is enabled to be communicated with a controller of the air conditioner, before the room is sterilized, the humidity value of the room detected by the humidity sensor is obtained, the air conditioner is selectively enabled to execute a sterilization mode according to the humidity value to sterilize the room, if the humidity value of the room is too large, the bactericide can be attached to water mist in the room, the bactericide is slowly diffused, and the sterilization effect on the room is influenced.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the step of "selectively causing the air conditioner to perform the sterilization mode to sterilize the room according to the humidity value" specifically includes: comparing the humidity value with a preset humidity value; and selectively causing the air conditioner to perform a sterilization mode to sterilize the room according to the comparison result.
Through comparing the humidity value with the preset humidity value, whether the humidity value of the room can influence the sterilization effect on the room can be judged, wherein, the technical personnel in the field can set the specific numerical value of the preset humidity value according to the test or experience, as long as the critical point determined by the preset humidity value can judge that the humidity of the room can not influence the sterilization effect on the room.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 4, the step of "selectively causing the air conditioner to perform the sterilization mode to sterilize the room according to the comparison result" specifically includes: if the humidity value is greater than the preset humidity value, the air conditioner is not enabled to execute the sterilization mode; and if the humidity value is not greater than the preset humidity value, causing the air conditioner to perform a sterilization mode to sterilize the room.
When the humidity value of the room is larger than the preset humidity value, the humidity in the room is larger, and under the condition, the sterilization effect on the room is influenced, and the air conditioner is not suitable to execute a sterilization mode; on the contrary, when the humidity value of the room is not greater than the preset humidity value, it indicates that the humidity of the room is relatively low, in this case, the sterilization effect on the room is not affected, and the air conditioner is enabled to execute the sterilization mode to sterilize the room.
Preferably, the sterilization control method of the present invention further comprises: and in case that the humidity value is greater than the preset humidity value, the air conditioner is caused to execute a dehumidification mode. That is, when the humidity of the room is relatively high, the air conditioner is first made to execute the dehumidification mode to reduce the humidity of the room as soon as possible, and when the humidity of the room meets the requirement, the air conditioner is then made to execute the sterilization mode to ensure the sterilization effect.
Preferably, the sterilization 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 preset time; if the running time is less than the preset time, allowing the door to be opened; if the operation time is greater than or equal to the preset time, the door is not allowed to open.
When the operation time of the sterilizing device is less than the 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 sterilization device is greater than or equal to the preset time, the operation time of the sterilization device is longer, and more bactericides are sprayed into the room.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, a person skilled in the art may flexibly set the specific value of the preset time according to experiments or experiences, as long as the critical point determined by the 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 value of the 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 sterilization 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.
Specifically, 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.
Preferably, the sterilization control method of the present invention further comprises: in the course of the air conditioner performing the sterilization mode, if a person is detected in the room, the air conditioner is stopped from performing the sterilization mode. The camera can be installed in the room and is communicated with the controller of the air conditioner, and when the camera detects that a person is in the room, the controller controls the sterilizing device to stop running immediately.
