It should be noted that compared with the method that the room is sterilized first and then the sweeping robot cleans the room, the method of the invention firstly cleans the room and then sterilizes the room, which can kill the virus (originally attached to the ground) floating in the air with the flying dust later, and can filter the flying dust produced by the sweeping robot through the air purification component, thereby making the air in the room cleaner.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, a person skilled in the art may set specific values of the first preset time, the second preset time, and the third preset time according to experiments or experiences, as long as the critical point determined by the first preset time enables the amount of the bactericide sprayed by the sterilizing device to meet the sterilizing requirement, the critical point determined by the second preset time enables the sterilizing time for the room to meet the requirement, and the critical point determined by the third preset time enables the air in the room to be purified.
If the preset condition is set that the concentration of the bactericide in the room reaches the preset concentration, a bactericide concentration detection sensor can be arranged in the room and is communicated with a controller of the air conditioner, so that the detected concentration value of the bactericide in the room is timely transmitted to the controller, when the concentration value of the bactericide in the room reaches the preset concentration, the bactericide sprayed by the sterilizing device meets the sterilizing requirement, at the moment, the fan and the sterilizing device can be stopped to continuously sterilize the room by using the bactericide, when the stopping time reaches a second preset time (for example, 20 minutes), the sterilizing time of the room is enough, at the moment, the air purifying component covers the air inlet again, and the fan stops operating after the air purifying component operates for a third preset time (for example, 15 minutes).
It should be noted that, in practical applications, a person skilled in the art may set the specific value of the preset concentration according to experiments or experience, as long as the critical point determined by the preset concentration enables the amount of the bactericide in the room to meet the sterilization requirement.
Preferably, the control method of the present invention further comprises: during the operation of the sterilizing apparatus, if it is detected that the electronic lock of the door of the room is unlocked, the sterilizing apparatus is stopped and the door is selectively allowed to open according to the concentration of the sterilizing agent in the room.
In the process of sterilizing a room, a large amount of bactericide needs to be sprayed into the room, and therefore, a user is not suitable for staying in the room during the process of sterilizing the room, however, the user may suddenly return to home during the process of sterilizing the room, and if the user is allowed to enter the room by accident, the user may cause certain damage to the body of the user.
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 concentration of the sterilizing agent in the room.
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 concentration of the bactericide in the room" specifically comprises: 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 air cleaning member covers the air intake and the fan is operated to reduce the concentration of the sterilant in the room without allowing the door to open. In the case where the door is not allowed to be opened, which means that the concentration of the bactericide in the room is relatively high, if the user enters the room, the user's body may be injured, in this case, the air cleaning member is made to cover the air inlet and the blower is made to operate, and the bactericide in the room air is filtered out by the air cleaning member to reduce the concentration of the bactericide in the room, so that the user may be allowed to enter the room as soon as possible.
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 operation of the sterilization apparatus, 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 progress of the sterilization.
Specifically, the step of "selectively allowing the door to be opened 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 control method of the present invention further comprises: and in the process of operating the sterilizing device, if the condition that people exist in the room is detected, stopping the sterilizing device from operating. 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. Through such setting, can further improve the security, avoid or reduce the injury to the user.
