在一些可选的实施例中，信息采集装置可与至少一个外部摄像头或AI智能识别系统预先建立数据连接，而无需为空调器10单独配置图像采集器或AI智能识别系统，这有利于降低制造成本。
图3是根据本发明一个实施例的空调器10的控制方法的示意图。该空调器10的控制方法一般性地可以包括：
步骤S302，采集空调器10的室内机所在工作环境中喂养动物的生长习性信息。
例如，用户可通过语音指令控制空调器10进入宠物照料模式，在宠物照料模式下，空调器10自动采集喂养动物的生长习性，并根据生长习性自动调节运行状态。
采集空调器10的室内机所在工作环境中喂养动物的生长习性信息的步骤包括：获取喂养动物的图像，根据图像确定喂养动物的生长习性信息。
根据图像确定喂养动物的生长习性信息的步骤包括：对喂养动物的图像进行识别，得到用于标示喂养动物所属物种的物种信息，向云端数据库发送查询请求，以获取与物种信息相对应的喂养动物的生长习性信息。云端数据库保存有物种信息与生长习性信息的对应关系。
控制装置400可以驱动AI智能识别系统对喂养动物的图像进行处理，从而确定喂养动物的物种信息。
可以用物种名称来描述喂养动物所属物种，物种名称可以为种名称、亚种名称、变种名称或品种名称等，也可以为目名称、亚目名称等。例如，狗的亚种名称为“家犬”，猫的亚种名称为“家猫”，金鱼的亚种名称为“金鱼”，两栖龟的亚目名称为“两栖龟”。
每一动物物种具有独特的生长习性。生长习性，可以指喂养动物对工作环境的环境参数的偏好，例如，喂养动物的生长习性可以包括：喂养动物对工作环境的温度偏好、湿度偏好、污染物含量偏好、含菌量偏好等。
以温度偏好和湿度偏好为例。温度偏好是指喂养动物对环境温度的偏好，温度偏好可以包括：喜温和喜凉。湿度偏好是指喂养动物对环境湿度的要求，湿度偏好可以包括：喜湿和喜燥。其中，“温”和“凉”、“湿”和“燥”分别是相对而言的。
步骤S304，根据生长习性信息配置空调器10的运行参数，例如，目标温度、压缩机运行频率、风机转速、摆叶旋转角度等参数的一个或多个。其中，目标温度是指工作环境将被调节到的温度。
本实施例中，可以直接根据喂养动物的生长习性信息配置空调器10的运行参数。
以配置空调器10的运行参数中的目标温度为例。本领域技术人员在了解本实施例的基础上应当完全有能力针对其他运行参数的配置过程进行拓 展，在此不做赘述。
根据喂养动物的生长习性信息配置空调器10的运行参数的步骤包括：根据生长习性信息确定工作环境的目标环境参数，根据目标环境参数配置空调器10的运行参数。目标环境参数包括：目标环境温度。目标环境温度的数值可以与目标温度的数值相同。
根据生长习性信息确定工作环境的目标环境参数，即，根据生长习性信息所标示的喂养动物的生长习性确定工作环境的目标环境参数，例如，根据温度偏好配置目标环境温度。
以温度偏好为例。每一种温度偏好可以预先设置有对应的目标环境温度。根据温度偏好可以确定目标环境温度，将目标环境温度作为空调器10的目标温度。例如，若温度偏好为喜温，则对应的目标环境温度可以为26℃。若温度偏好为喜凉，则对应的目标环境温度可以为15℃。
以家犬和蚯蚓为例，通过对二者的生长习性信息进行分析，可以确定家犬的温度偏好为喜温，蚯蚓的温度偏好为喜凉。若工作环境中的喂养动物为家犬，则工作环境的目标环境温度为26℃，相应地，空调器10的目标温度为26℃。若工作环境中的喂养动物为蚯蚓，则工作环境的目标环境温度为15，空调器10的目标温度为15℃。
在另一些可选的实施例中，根据喂养动物的图像确定喂养动物的生长习性信息的步骤还可以包括：根据喂养动物的图像确定喂养动物的物种信息，连接网络，向网络发送查询请求，以用于获取与物种信息相对应的喂养动物的生长习性信息。例如，可以利用网络信息爬取技术从各个发布平台的相关网页中抓取喂养动物的生长习性信息。
使用上述方法，当用户的喂养动物的类型发生变化时，可利用空调器10采集工作环境中喂养动物的图像，并根据图像确定喂养动物的生长习性信息，还能根据生长习性信息重新配置空调器10的运行参数，从而可节省用户对空调器10进行设置的时间，简化操作过程，提高工作效率。
在另一些可选的实施例中，在根据生长习性信息配置空调器10的运行参数的步骤之后，还可以增加对运行参数进行调整的过程。
即，在根据生长习性信息配置空调器10的运行参数的步骤之后，且在按照运行参数启动空调器10开始调节工作环境的步骤之前，还包括：采集用于标示喂养动物当前所处生理阶段的生理阶段信息，根据生理阶段信息对 运行参数进行调整。
采集喂养动物的生理阶段信息的步骤可以包括：驱动信息采集装置采集喂养动物的图像或动态视频，根据喂养动物的图像或动态视频确定喂养动物的生理阶段信息。
根据喂养动物的图像或动态视频，可向云端数据库发送查询请求，以确定喂养动物的生理阶段信息。云端数据库还预先保存有喂养动物的图像或动态视频与生理阶段信息的对应关系。
在一些可选的实施例中，控制装置400可以驱动AI智能识别系统对喂养动物的图像或动态视频进行处理，喂养动物的图像或动态视频中可能包含喂养动物的体型、毛发状态、特定部位的生长状态等信息，从而可以确定出喂养动物的生理阶段信息。
根据生理阶段信息对运行参数进行调整的步骤包括：判断生理阶段信息所标示的喂养动物当前所处生理阶段是否为预设的特定生理阶段，若是，确定特定生理阶段的敏感因子，每一特定生理阶段对应有至少一个敏感因子，根据敏感因子调整运行参数。若生理阶段不是特定生理阶段，则不调整运行参数。
喂养动物当前所处的生理阶段是指在生命历程中所处的阶段，包括：正常生理阶段和特定生理阶段。正常生理阶段，即，非特定生理阶段。仅根据物种信息确定出的运行参数的初始值适合处于正常生理阶段的喂养动物，当空调器10按照运行参数的初始值运行时，能为处于正常生理阶段的喂养动物提供舒适的活动环境。相对于正常生理阶段而言，处于特定生理阶段的喂养动物的生理状态发生变化，对环境参数的要求也发生变化，当空调器10按照运行参数的初始值运行时，可能无法为喂养动物提供舒适的活动环境，可能会导致喂养动物产生不适，导致疾病。
每一种喂养动物可以预设有多个不同的特定生理阶段。例如，家犬等带毛发哺乳类爬行动物的特定生理阶段可以包括：幼年阶段、孕育阶段、哺乳阶段、和换毛阶段等阶段中的一个或多个。特定生理阶段的敏感因子可以包括：温度、湿度、风速、气味大小、污染物含量、含菌量等的任意组合。例如，当特定生理阶段的敏感因子包括温度时，表示与处于正常生理阶段相比，处于该特定生理阶段的喂养动物对温度比较敏感，需要调整空调器10的运行参数中的目标温度。
例如，在判断生理阶段信息所标示的喂养动物当前所处生理阶段是否为预设的特定生理阶段的步骤中，特定生理阶段包括孕育阶段和/或哺乳阶段。
此时，根据敏感因子调整运行参数的步骤包括：判断敏感因子是否包括温度，若是，则调整运行参数，以提高工作环境的目标温度。空调器10可将目标温度提高1～3℃范围内的任意值。例如，1℃、1.5℃、2℃或者3℃。本实施例可以通过调节压缩机运行频率等参数来调整目标温度的大小。
在另一些可选的实施例中，在判断生理阶段信息所标示的喂养动物当前所处生理阶段是否为预设的特定生理阶段的步骤中，特定生理阶段包括换毛阶段。
此时，根据敏感因子调整运行参数的步骤包括：判断敏感因子是否包括风速，若是，则调整运行参数，以降低室内机的送风口501的出风速度。每一目标温度对应设置有预设的风机转速。可以通过调节送风风机的风机转速来调节送风口501的出风速度。本实施例中，空调器10可将风机转速调低至预设的最低风速等级。将调低之后的风速大小作为空调器10实际运行时的风机转速。
在一些进一步的实施例中，根据敏感因子调整运行参数的步骤还可以包括：判断敏感因子是否包括风向，若是，调整运行参数，以调节室内机的送风口501的出风方向。每一目标温度对应设置有预设的摆叶旋转角度。可以通过调节摆叶旋转角度来调节送风口501的出风方向。空调器10可将摆叶旋转角度调整为预设的上摆角度，使室内机朝前上方送风。将调整后的摆叶旋转角度作为空调器10实际运行时送风口501的出风方向。
在根据生长习性信息配置空调器10的运行参数的步骤之后，且在按照运行参数启动空调器10开始调节工作环境的步骤之前，还包括：向与空调器10数据连接的终端设备发送确认消息，以供终端设备向空调器10的用户输出，获取终端设备响应于确认消息的确认指令。即，在空调器10自动确定出运行参数之后，向与空调器10数据连接的终端设备推送确认消息，以供用户确认。确认消息中可以包含各项运行参数的信息。
终端设备可以为移动终端，例如，手机、平板电脑等。终端设备也可以为与用户进行交互的其他交互模块，例如，空调器10的触控屏，或者安装于工作环境中其他家电上的触控屏、语音交互装置等。
若空调器10接收到终端设备反馈的确认指令，则保存运行参数，以供 调用。若空调器10接收到终端设备反馈的拒绝指令，则向终端设备推送运行参数的定义界面，以供用户自定义运行参数。
使用上述方法，本实施例的空调器10，在根据生长习性信息确定工作环境的运行参数的步骤之后，先向终端设备发送确认消息，以供终端设备向空调器10的用户输出，并在获取到终端设备响应于确认消息的确认指令之后，再驱动空调器10按照运行参数运行。将空调器10自动确定出的运行参数发送给用户进行确认，可提高空调器10运行的可靠性。
步骤S306，按照运行参数启动空调器10开始调节工作环境。在一些进一步的实施例中，步骤S306可以包括：获取工作环境的特定的环境参数，在特定的环境参数超出对应的环境参数阈值的情况下，驱动空调器10按照运行参数运行，以调节工作环境。特定的环境参数可由用户进行预先设置，可将影响喂养动物正常活动的关键性的环境参数设置为特定的环境参数，例如，环境温度，环境湿度，环境污染物含量，环境含菌量等参数中的一个或多个。
例如，影响家犬正常活动的关键性环境参数可以为环境温度。本实施例以温度调节过程进行示意，本领域技术人员在了解以下调节过程的基础上，应当完全有能力进行拓展，此处不再一一示出。
环境参数阈值根据特定的环境参数进行预先设置。与环境温度对应的环境参数阈值可以为环境温度阈值。且环境温度阈值可以与目标环境温度相同，或者可以与目标环境温度之间相差设定阈值。例如，目标环境温度为26℃，则环境温度阈值可以为26℃，目标温度可以配置为26℃。空调器10按照目标温度运行时可使工作环境的温度达到或维持在目标温度。若喂养动物处于孕育阶段且敏感因子包括温度，则将目标温度调低1℃。即，调整后的目标温度为27℃。
当环境温度为15℃时，环境温度与环境温度阈值不相等，已超出环境温度阈值，此时，可驱动空调器10按照目标温度运行，以提高工作环境的环境温度。
当环境温度为26℃，环境温度未超出环境温度阈值，此时，可控制空调器10保持当前的运行状态不变。若当前运行状态为停机状态，则表示无需驱动空调器10运行即可为喂养动物提供舒适的活动环境。若当前运行状态为开机状态，则不调节空调器10的运行状态。
使用上述方法，本实施例的空调器10，可以先根据生长习性信息确定运行参数的初始值，然后根据喂养动物的生理阶段信息对运行参数进行修正。当喂养动物处于预设的特定生理阶段时，根据特定生理阶段的敏感因子调整运行参数，从而可利用空调器10为处于特定生理阶段的喂养动物提供舒适环境，使得空调器10的运行参数更加符合喂养动物的实际需求。
本实施例的空调器10可与工作环境中的自动喂养装置预先建立数据连接。在按照运行参数启动空调器10开始调节工作环境的步骤之后，还包括：获取工作环境中自动喂养装置的运行状态，根据自动喂养装置的运行状态进一步调整空调器10的运行参数。自动喂养装置可以包括：自动喂食器、自动铲屎器、自动喂水器等。
例如，根据自动喂养装置的运行状态进一步调整空调器10的运行参数的过程可包括：在自动铲屎器开机后，控制空调器10按照预设的换新风模式的运行参数和除菌模式的运行参数运行。一般情况下，自动铲屎器在检测到喂养动物的排泄物的情况下开机启动，以对排泄物进行处理。
由于排泄物会散发刺激性气味，或者会向工作环境散布细菌，导致工作环境遭受污染。在自动铲屎器开机启动后，立即启动空调器10的换新风模式和除菌模式，可及时排出刺激性气味，消杀细菌，从而使得工作环境得到及时的净化，有利于维持工作环境的良好状态，避免工作环境的卫生状态恶化，从而提高用户体验。
根据自动喂养装置的运行状态进一步调整空调器10的运行参数的步骤还可以包括：在检测到自动喂水器处于漏水状态的情况下，控制空调器10按照预设的除湿模式的运行参数或风干模式的运行参数运行。风干模式是指空调器10向漏水部位吹送热风，以快速风干漏出的水分。
通过将空调器10与自动喂养装置建立数据连接，仅利用空调器10采集自动喂养装置的运行状态，即可控制空调器10调整运行参数，以执行相应功能，有利于优化资源配置，无需设置气味传感器或污染物含量传感器，可在一定程度上简化空调器10的结构，节约制造成本。
在按照运行参数启动空调器10开始调节工作环境的步骤之后，还包括：获取设定时间段内喂养动物在设定区域内的停留时长，设定区域位于工作环境内，根据停留时长进一步调整空调器10的运行参数。
设定区域是指距离空调器10比较近的区域。设定区域可以为位于室内 机前面板在工作环境所在地面的投影的正前方且与前面板投影之间的距离小于设定距离的矩形区域。当喂养动物位于设定区域内时，温感、风感较强。若工作环境温度较高，空调器10刚开始进入宠物照料模式时，开启制冷模式，按照目标温度运行。设定区域内比较凉爽，喂养动物可能会在设定区域内停留。随着空调器10运行时间的延长，工作环境的环境温度逐渐降低，喂养动物可能会由于温感过强导致寒冷而离开设定区域。因此，根据喂养动物在设定区域内的停留时长可以确定喂养动物对当前运行参数是否满意。
设定时间段可以为空调器10按照运行参数运行设定时长后的某一时间段，例如，可以为空调器10按照运行参数运行半小时后的第一个十分钟内。
若停留时长小于预设的时长阈值，且当前空调器10为制冷状态，则将目标温度提高1～3℃。若停留时长小于预设的时长阈值，且当前空调器10为制热状态，则将目标温度降低1～3℃。若停留时长大于或等于预设的时长阈值，则保持当前运行参数不变。
使用上述方法，在空调器10按照运行参数运行之后，通过检测喂养动物在设定区域内的停留情况，可获知喂养动物对空调器10调节过程的反馈信息，空调器10可以针对反馈信息相应调整运行参数，可使工作环境的环境参数按照喂养动物的实际需求进行相应调整，既有利于使得喂养动物始终处于适宜的工作环境中，也有利于节约能耗。
在一些可选的实施例中，喂养动物的类型可能不止一种，生长习性信息也会略有不同。若工作环境内同时存在家犬和家猫，用户可手动设置家犬和家猫的优先等级，按照优先等级较高的喂养动物的生长习性信息对运行参数进行配置。
在另一些可选的实施例中，考虑到喂养动物的嗅觉相对于人类而言比较灵敏，在按照运行参数启动空调器10开始调节工作环境之前，可先控制空调器10进行自清洁，以减少或避免将空调器10刺激性气味散至工作环境内。
图4是根据本发明一个实施例的空调器10的控制流程图。
步骤S402，获取喂养动物的图像。
步骤S404，根据图像确定喂养动物的生长习性信息。根据图像确定喂养动物的生长习性信息的步骤包括：对喂养动物的图像进行识别，得到用于标示喂养动物所属物种的物种信息，向云端数据库发送查询请求，以用于获取与物种信息相对应的喂养动物的生长习性信息，云端数据库保存有物种信 息与生长习性信息的对应关系。
步骤S406，根据生长习性信息配置空调器10的运行参数。根据生长习性信息确定工作环境的目标环境参数，根据目标环境参数配置空调器10的运行参数。
步骤S408，采集用于标示喂养动物当前所处生理阶段的生理阶段信息。
步骤S410，根据生理阶段信息对运行参数进行调整。
步骤S412，向与空调器10数据连接的终端设备发送确认消息，以供终端设备向空调器10的用户输出。
步骤S414，获取终端设备响应于确认消息的确认指令。
步骤S416，按照运行参数启动空调器10开始调节工作环境。
步骤S418，获取工作环境中自动喂养装置的运行状态。
步骤S420，根据自动喂养装置的运行状态进一步调整空调器10的运行参数。
使用上述方法，本实施例的空调器10，能自动采集空调器10的室内机工作环境中喂养动物的生长习性信息，并根据生长习性信息自动配置空调器10的运行参数，以控制空调器10按照运行参数运行，使得本发明的空调器10能自动调节喂养动物所处环境的环境参数，而无需人为设定各项运行参数，提高了智能化程度，简化了用户的操作过程，提高了用户体验。本实施例的空调器10及其控制方法，还能够适用于动物看护中心或者动物医院等场所，可以大大减少调节空调器10的操作时间。
至此，本领域技术人员应认识到，虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的多个示例性实施例，但是，在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下，仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此，本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
