It should be noted that, the air conditioner may send query information to a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone) of the user, query the time when the user goes home, and determine the time when the user goes home according to the information replied by the user; or, the air conditioner may record the life law of the user, and the time of the user returning home is obtained according to the life law of the user, for example, a camera may be installed in a room, and the camera may communicate with a controller of the air conditioner, and the life law of the user may be recorded by the camera, and the approximate time of the user returning home every monday to sunday is recorded, and the time of the user returning home may be obtained according to the life law of the user in the case that the user does not select the sterilization mode; etc., it is, of course, preferable to acquire the time when the user goes home by means of a query to the user.
It should be further noted that, when the air conditioner is installed, the installation worker can directly prestore the area of the room in the controller of the air conditioner, and under the condition that the user does not select the sterilization mode, the area of the room can be directly called; alternatively, a camera may be attached to the air conditioner, an image of the room may be acquired by the camera, and the area of the room may be roughly calculated from the image of the room.
Preferably, the step of "determining the sterilization mode according to the time when the user goes home, the area of the room, and the spray speed of each sterilization mode" specifically includes: calculating the required sterilization time according to the area of the room and the injection speed of the sterilization mode; judging whether the sterilization time is longer than the time for the user to go home or not; and sequentially executing the steps according to the sequence of slow-to-fast spraying speed, and enabling the air conditioner to execute the sterilization mode when the sterilization time required by the sterilization mode is not more than the time for the user to go home.
After the time for the user to go home and the area of the room are obtained, the required sterilization time can be calculated according to the area of the room and the injection speed of the slow sterilization mode, specifically, how much bactericide needs to be injected approximately can be known according to the area of the room to meet the sterilization requirement, that is, the total amount of the bactericide to be injected can be obtained according to the area of the room, and the required sterilization time can be calculated according to the total amount of the bactericide and the injection speed.
If the sterilization time required by the slow sterilization mode is not more than the time for the user to go home, the air conditioner is directly enabled to execute the slow sterilization mode, if the sterilization time required by the slow sterilization mode is more than the time for the user to go home, the slow sterilization mode cannot be executed, the sterilization time required by the standard sterilization mode is continuously calculated, if the sterilization time required by the standard sterilization mode is not more than the time for the user to go home, the air conditioner is directly enabled to execute the standard sterilization mode, if the sterilization time required by the standard sterilization mode is more than the time for the user to go home, the standard sterilization mode cannot be executed, the sterilization time required by the fast sterilization mode is continuously calculated, if the sterilization time required by the fast sterilization mode is not more than the time for the user to go home, the air conditioner is directly enabled to execute the fast sterilization mode, if the sterilization time required by the fast sterilization mode is more than the time for the user to go, the sterilization task is cancelled.
That is, when the sterilization time in the plurality of sterilization modes is satisfactory, it is preferable to execute the sterilization mode requiring a long sterilization time, and the sterilization effect on the room is more excellent.
Preferably, the sterilization control method of the present invention further comprises: during the operation of the sterilization apparatus, if it is detected that the electronic lock of the door of the room is unlocked, the sterilization apparatus is stopped and the door is selectively allowed to be opened according to the 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 operation of the germicidal device, if it is detected that the electronic lock of the door of the room is unlocked, the door may also be selectively allowed to open depending on the concentration of the germicidal agent 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: 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.
