Further, the first air conditioner determines the average value of the outlet water temperature of the shower device and the user's body surface temperature as the first target temperature, including: calculating T ₁ =(T _w +T _m )÷2 to obtain the first air conditioner's The first target temperature, where T ₁ is the first target temperature, T _w is the outlet water temperature of the shower device, and T _m is the user's body surface temperature. After the user enters the shower space, the first air conditioner first obtains the status of the shower device. When the shower device is turned on, the outlet water temperature T _w of the shower device is obtained, the user's body surface temperature T _m is obtained through the infrared sensor, and the first target temperature T ₁ is obtained through calculation.

In some examples, the water outlet temperature T _w of the shower device is 42°C, and the user's body surface temperature T _m is 37°C. The first target temperature T ₁ =39.5°C is calculated by T ₁ =(T _w +T _m )÷2.

Find the second target temperature corresponding to the entered gender and age in the preset data table. Wherein, at least one second target temperature corresponding to gender and age is stored in the data table.

In some instances, women's core body temperature is on average 0.2-0.3 degrees Celsius higher than men's. Core body temperature refers to the temperature of the environment around the heart, liver, brain and other important organs in the trunk that are necessary to maintain life. Because women's body fat tends to be concentrated under the skin, the fat layer significantly increases the difference between the dermal layer and the core temperature. This also causes the average body surface temperature of women to be lower than that of men. This means that in the same environment, women usually Feel the cold earlier than men. Therefore, when taking a shower, women have different temperature requirements for the shower space and men have different temperature requirements for the shower space. When determining the second target temperature, the user can enter gender and age in the control panel of the air conditioner. Table 1 is a preset data table of the second target temperature corresponding to each age group of women. As shown in Table 1, A represents the age of the user. When the age A entered by the user is ≤ 12, the second target temperature is 41°C. When the age entered by the user is 12<A≤24, the second target temperature is 43°C. When 24<A≤36, the second target temperature is 44℃. When 36<A≤48, the second target temperature is 44℃. When A>48, the second target temperature is 47℃.
