[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0039] The air conditioning control method provided by this invention has a separate control logic for sterilization and virus removal. By installing portable air conditioning equipment at various outdoor nucleic acid testing sites, sterilization and disinfection functions can be achieved, and users can enjoy a comfortable experience of hot and cold air supply.

[0040] It should be noted that the air conditioning control method provided by this invention can be applied to outdoor nucleic acid testing scenarios, as well as other scenarios where testing needs to be conducted outdoors. For ease of explanation, this invention will use the outdoor nucleic acid testing application scenario as an example.

[0041] The air conditioning control method provided by this invention can be applied to a target air conditioning device, wherein the target air conditioning device may further include an exhaust fan and an exhaust duct. To further illustrate the air conditioning control method provided by this invention, the following will be combined with… Figure 1 Please provide an explanation.

[0042] Figure 1 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 1 As can be seen, the air conditioning control method may include steps 110 and 120, which will be described in detail below.

[0044] In step 110, with the person to be tested currently at the testing location, a first gas is introduced into the target air conditioning device through an exhaust duct based on the suction fan, wherein the first gas is air containing the exhaled gas of the person to be tested.

[0045] In step 120, the first gas is sterilized based on the sterilization module of the target air conditioning equipment, and the first gas after sterilization is used for cooling or heating.

[0046] In one embodiment, to accommodate the queues for outdoor nucleic acid testing, a support frame can be erected at the testing location, and the target air conditioning equipment can be suspended on the support frame.

[0047] To prevent mutual interference between hot and cold spaces, the outdoor unit can be placed away from the target air conditioning unit. In application, multiple indoor units (corresponding to air conditioning units) can be connected in series to the same outdoor unit, or one indoor unit can be paired with one outdoor unit. In the scenario where multiple indoor units are connected in series to the same outdoor unit, the multiple indoor units can include the target air conditioning unit and linked air conditioning units connected in series with the target air conditioning unit. The target air conditioning unit can be any one of all indoor units connected to the same outdoor unit, and the linked air conditioning units can be other indoor units besides the target air conditioning unit.

[0048] In one embodiment, one end of the exhaust duct can be connected to the air inlet of the target air conditioning unit, and the other end of the exhaust duct can be positioned above the detection position. It is understood that the first gas can be sequentially introduced into the target air conditioning unit through the exhaust duct end positioned above the detection position and the air inlet. For ease of explanation, the exhaust duct end positioned above the detection position can be considered as the air intake.

[0049] In one embodiment, the first gas is introduced into the target air conditioning equipment through the exhaust pipe by the suction fan, which can ensure that the exhaled gas of the person being tested can enter the target air conditioning equipment for sterilization to the maximum extent. This lays the foundation for meeting the sterilization and disinfection requirements of outdoor nucleic acid testing scenarios and providing users with a comfortable experience of hot and cold air supply.

[0050] Furthermore, the first gas is sterilized using the sterilization module of the target air conditioning equipment, and then cooled or heated based on the sterilized first gas. This embodiment enables sterilization of the area where the person being tested is located while simultaneously cooling or heating, thus meeting the needs of outdoor nucleic acid testing scenarios.

[0051] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the air conditioning control method provided by this invention. To further introduce the air conditioning control method provided by this invention, the following will be combined with... Figure 2 Please provide an explanation.

[0052] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 2 It can be seen that after the person to be tested 10 enters the testing position 40, the air exhaled by the person to be tested 10 can be drawn through the air intake 301 to the air inlet 304 via the air intake 303 corresponding to the air intake 301, and then enters the target air conditioning equipment 30 via the air inlet 304. During the application, the suction fan 302 can increase the suction force to introduce the exhaled air of the person to be tested 10 into the target air conditioning equipment 30 to the maximum extent for sterilization, laying the foundation for meeting the sterilization and disinfection requirements of outdoor nucleic acid testing scenarios and providing users with a comfortable experience of hot and cold air supply.

[0053] During application, the sterilized first gas can be blown out from the air outlet of the target air conditioning unit 30 to achieve the function of cooling or heating.

[0054] In another embodiment, the target air conditioning unit 30 may also be equipped with a camera acquisition device, a radar positioning device, or an infrared capture device. During application, the location information of the person currently being tested 10 and the person waiting to be tested 20 can be determined based on the camera acquisition device, radar positioning device, or infrared capture device. This allows the airflow direction of the target air conditioning unit 30 to be determined, ensuring that the airflow in the correct direction separates the person currently being tested 10 and the person waiting to be tested 20, thereby further reducing the chance of cross-infection.

[0055] In another embodiment, the detection device can be based on a camera acquisition device, a radar positioning device, or an infrared capture device to detect that the person to be tested 10 has left the detection position 40. At this time, the target air conditioning equipment 30 can perform air sweeping and sterilization treatment on the detection position 40, so that the sterilization treatment of the detection position 40 can be completed before the person to be tested 20 enters the detection position 40, thereby avoiding the chance of cross-infection again.

[0056] The air conditioning control method provided by this invention, when detecting that the person to be tested is located at the testing location, sterilizes a first gas containing the exhaled gas of the person to be tested, and then cools or heats based on the sterilized first gas. This allows for more targeted sterilization of the area where the person to be tested is located, avoiding cross-infection and meeting the needs of outdoor nucleic acid testing scenarios.

[0057] Figure 3 This is the second flowchart of the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention.

[0058] The following will combine Figure 3 The process of another air conditioning control method provided by the present invention will be described.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 3 As can be seen, the air conditioning control method may include steps 310 to 340, wherein steps 310 to 320 are the same as or similar to steps 110 to 120. For the specific implementation and beneficial effects, please refer to the previous description. In this embodiment, they will not be repeated. Steps 330 and 340 will be introduced below.

[0060] In step 330, the air outlet direction of the target air conditioning equipment is determined based on the current location information of the person to be tested and the location information of the person waiting to be tested.

[0061] In step 340, air is supplied according to the air outlet direction so that the air supplied by the target air conditioning equipment separates the current person to be tested from the person waiting to be tested, wherein the person waiting to be tested is another person to be tested besides the current person to be tested.

[0062] In one embodiment, the person currently being tested and the person waiting to be tested can constitute a nucleic acid testing queue for those who wish to undergo nucleic acid testing.

[0063] In one example, the target air conditioning unit may also be equipped with a camera acquisition device, a radar positioning device, or an infrared capture device. During application, the location information of the person currently being tested and the person waiting to be tested can be determined based on the camera acquisition device, radar positioning device, or infrared capture device. Furthermore, the air outlet direction of the target air conditioning unit 30 is determined based on the location information of the person currently being tested and the person waiting to be tested, and air is supplied according to the air outlet direction so that the air supplied by the target air conditioning unit can separate the person currently being tested and the person waiting to be tested, thereby further avoiding the chance of cross-infection.

[0064] It should be noted that the location information of the person currently to be tested and the person waiting to be tested can also be determined by other means. In this embodiment, it is not limited to being determined by a camera acquisition device, a radar positioning device or an infrared capture device.

[0065] In another embodiment, the direction of the airflow from the target air conditioning unit can be further defined. In one example, for summer cooling mode, the airflow can be automatically controlled to blow upwards, thereby allowing the cool air to travel further and cover a wider area. In another example, for winter heating mode, the airflow can be automatically controlled to blow downwards, thereby allowing hot air to rise from the feet of the person being tested.

[0066] Figure 4 This is the third flowchart of the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention.

[0067] The following will combine Figure 4 The process of another air conditioning control method provided by the present invention will be described.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 4 As can be seen, the air conditioning control method may include steps 410 to 450, wherein steps 410 to 440 are the same as or similar to steps 310 to 340. For the specific implementation and beneficial effects, please refer to the previous description. In this embodiment, they will not be repeated. Step 450 will be introduced below.

[0069] In step 450, in response to detecting that the person to be tested has left the testing location, the testing location is purged.

[0070] In one embodiment, the target air conditioning unit may also be equipped with a camera acquisition device, a radar positioning device, or an infrared capture device. During application, based on the camera acquisition device, radar positioning device, or infrared capture device, if the person to be tested is detected leaving the detection location, the target air conditioning unit can perform air sweeping and sterilization treatment on the detection location. This allows the sterilization of the detection location to be completed before the person to be tested enters the detection location, thereby further avoiding the chance of cross-infection.

[0071] In another embodiment, since the target air conditioning equipment is equipped with a camera acquisition device, radar positioning device, or infrared capture device, the location information of the person to be inspected can be obtained. During application, the inspection speed can be determined based on changes in the location information of the person to be inspected. Furthermore, based on the inspection speed and the number of people waiting to be inspected, the inspection time or queuing time can be determined. During application, by establishing a communication connection between the target air conditioning equipment and a mobile terminal, the inspection time or queuing time can be sent to the mobile terminal in real time, allowing the user to rationally schedule time and select a suitable inspection site based on the inspection time or queuing time.

[0072] In another embodiment, the identity information of the person to be inspected can be verified using the camera acquisition device in the target air conditioning unit to prevent false identities. In yet another example, by connecting the target air conditioning unit to the network, the real-time images of the person to be inspected can also be interconnected with relevant websites to assist in identifying individuals with sensitive identities.

[0073] It should be noted that the detection of the person being detected leaving the detection location can also be achieved in other ways. In this embodiment, it is not limited to being determined by a camera acquisition device, a radar positioning device, or an infrared capture device.

[0074] To enhance the sterilization and disinfection capabilities of the target air conditioning equipment and meet the requirements of outdoor nucleic acid testing scenarios, in one embodiment, the target air conditioning equipment may further include an additional sterilization module and a virus detection sensor located at the air outlet of the target air conditioning equipment. The following will combine... Figure 5 The process of controlling a target air conditioning device, including an additional sterilization module and a virus detection sensor, is described.

[0075] Figure 5 This is the fourth flowchart of the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention.

[0076] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioning control method may include steps 510 to 540, wherein steps 510 to 520 are the same as or similar to steps 110 to 120. For specific implementation methods and beneficial effects, please refer to the foregoing description. Steps 530 and 540 will be described below.

[0077] In step 530, the virus concentration of the first gas after sterilization is detected based on the virus detection sensor.

[0078] In step 540, in response to the virus concentration exceeding the concentration threshold, an additional sterilization module is invoked to sterilize the first gas again after sterilization.

[0079] In one embodiment, a virus sensor can be used to detect the type and concentration of the virus in the sterilized first gas. In one example, for any virus, if its concentration exceeds a concentration threshold, an additional sterilization module can be invoked to perform a secondary sterilization treatment on the sterilized first gas. This method can improve the sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0080] In another embodiment, when the virus concentration exceeds the concentration threshold, in addition to calling the additional sterilization module to perform a second sterilization treatment on the first gas after sterilization, the air guide plate can also be used to perform sweeping sterilization on the detection position until the virus concentration in the first gas is detected to be lower than the concentration threshold again.

[0081] In another embodiment, the target air conditioning device can also communicate with a preset linked device, such as a mobile terminal. When the detected virus type or the corresponding virus concentration exceeds a preset range, an alarm can be triggered to the preset linked device, or the virus detection result can be sent to the preset linked device.

[0082] In another embodiment, the target air conditioning device may also include a carbon dioxide concentration detection sensor.

[0083] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the process provided by the present invention, which uses a suction fan to introduce a first gas into the target air conditioning equipment through an exhaust pipe. The following will be combined with... Figure 6 The process of introducing the first gas into the target air conditioning equipment through the exhaust pipe based on the suction fan is explained.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 6 As can be seen, the process of introducing the first gas into the target air conditioning equipment through the exhaust pipe based on the suction fan may include steps 610 to 630, and each step will be described below.

[0085] In step 610, the carbon dioxide concentration in the first gas is detected based on the carbon dioxide concentration detection sensor.

[0086] In step 620, the target suction level of the suction fan is controlled based on the carbon dioxide concentration.

[0087] In step 630, the suction level of the suction fan is adjusted to the target suction level, and the first gas is introduced into the target air conditioning equipment through the duct based on the suction level adjusted by the suction fan.

[0088] In one embodiment, the detection of carbon dioxide concentration in the first gas can also be used to detect the carbon dioxide concentration in the exhaled gas of the person being tested.

[0089] In one example, if the carbon dioxide concentration in the first gas exceeds a first threshold, the target suction level of the suction fan can be adjusted to a high level.

[0090] In another example, if the carbon dioxide concentration in the first gas exceeds the second threshold but is less than the first threshold, the target suction level of the suction fan can be adjusted to the medium level.

[0091] In another example, if the carbon dioxide concentration in the first gas is lower than a second threshold, the target suction level of the ventilator can be adjusted to a low level. Through this embodiment, by controlling the target suction level of the ventilator based on the carbon dioxide concentration, the power consumption of the ventilator can be reduced while ensuring that the first gas is introduced into the target air conditioning equipment to the maximum extent.

[0092] Figure 7 This is the fifth flowchart of the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention.

[0093] The following will combine Figure 7 The process of air conditioning control method is explained.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, for an application scenario where multiple indoor units are connected in series with the same outdoor unit, i.e., the target air conditioning unit is an air conditioning unit that shares the same outdoor unit with other linked air conditioning units. Combined with... Figure 7 It can be seen that the air conditioning control method in this scenario may include steps 710 to 750, wherein steps 710 to 720 are the same as or similar to steps 110 to 120. For the specific implementation and beneficial effects, please refer to the previous description. In this embodiment, they will not be repeated. Steps 730 to 750 will be introduced below.

[0095] In step 730, the number of first personnel to be tested corresponding to the target air conditioning equipment and the number of second personnel to be tested corresponding to the linked air conditioning equipment are determined. The number of first personnel to be tested is the number of personnel to be tested within the coverage area of ​​the target air conditioning equipment, and the number of second personnel to be tested is the number of personnel to be tested within the coverage area of ​​the linked air conditioning equipment.

[0096] In the application, each detection location corresponds to an air conditioning unit and a queue of personnel to be tested. It can be understood that the first number of personnel to be tested is the number of personnel in the queue corresponding to the target air conditioning unit. The second number of personnel to be tested is the number of personnel in the queue corresponding to the linked air conditioning unit.

[0097] In one embodiment, the number of first personnel to be tested corresponding to the target air conditioning equipment and the number of second personnel to be tested corresponding to the linked air conditioning equipment can be determined respectively.

[0098] In step 740, if the difference between the number of the first person to be tested and the number of the second person to be tested is greater than or equal to the number threshold, the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is adjusted to increase the refrigerant flow rate of the outdoor unit to the target air conditioning equipment.

[0099] In one embodiment, if the difference between the number of the first person to be tested and the number of the second person to be tested is greater than or equal to a threshold, it indicates that the queue for testing corresponding to the target air conditioning unit is relatively long. In this case, the refrigerant flow rate to the target air conditioning unit can be increased by adjusting the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit. Through this embodiment, the reasonable distribution of heat and cold generated by the outdoor unit can be achieved.

[0100] In step 750, if the difference between the number of the first person to be tested and the number of the second person to be tested is less than the number threshold, the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is adjusted based on the ambient temperature and the detection speed.

[0101] In another embodiment, if the difference between the number of the first person to be tested and the number of the second person to be tested is less than the number threshold, it means that the number of people in the queue to be tested corresponding to the target air conditioning equipment and the queue to be tested corresponding to the linked air conditioning equipment that shares the same outdoor unit with the target air conditioning equipment are roughly equal. At this time, the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit can be adjusted according to the ambient temperature and the testing speed to achieve a reasonable distribution of the heat and cold generated by the outdoor unit.

[0102] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the process for adjusting the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit based on ambient temperature and detection speed, as provided by this invention. The following will be combined with... Figure 8 The process of adjusting the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit based on ambient temperature and detection speed is explained.

[0103] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the ambient temperature may include a target ambient temperature, which can be detected by a temperature sensor of a target air conditioning device. The detection speed may include a target detection speed, which is a detection speed corresponding to the number of the first persons to be detected.

[0104] Combination Figure 8 As can be seen, adjusting the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit based on the ambient temperature and detection speed may include steps 810 to 830, which will be described in detail below.

[0105] In step 810, the target detection speed and the target ambient temperature are determined.

[0106] In one embodiment, the number of people to be detected can be captured by a camera acquisition device installed on the target air conditioning equipment within a preset time period, and the target detection speed can be calculated based on the number of people within the preset time period.

[0107] In another embodiment, the target ambient temperature within the coverage area of ​​the target air conditioning device can be collected based on a temperature sensor installed on the target air conditioning device. Here, the coverage area of ​​the target air conditioning device can be understood as the region whose temperature is regulated by the target air conditioning device.

[0108] In step 820, the target temperature difference is determined based on the set temperature and the target ambient temperature.

[0109] In step 830, if the target detection speed is greater than or equal to the speed threshold and the target temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold within a preset time, the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit is adjusted to increase the refrigerant flow rate of the outdoor unit to the target air conditioning equipment.

[0110] In one embodiment, a preset temperature Ts can be established. The target ambient temperature is now Tr. The target temperature difference can be expressed as |Tr-Ts|.

[0111] During the application process, if the target detection speed is greater than or equal to the speed threshold and the target temperature difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold within the preset time, it indicates that there are many people in the queue to be tested corresponding to the target air conditioning equipment, that is, there are many people in the first queue to be tested. The target air conditioning equipment needs to increase the amount of cold or hot air. Therefore, the refrigerant flow of the target air conditioning equipment can be increased by adjusting the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit.

[0112] In another embodiment, if the target detection speed is less than a speed threshold and the target temperature difference is less than a temperature difference threshold within a preset time, then it is not necessary to adjust the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit to increase the refrigerant flow to the target air conditioning unit. In application, the outdoor unit only needs to distribute heat and cold evenly to the connected air conditioning units (including the target air conditioning unit and the linked air conditioning units).

[0113] The following explanation will be based on a temperature difference threshold of 5℃ and a speed threshold of 1 minute per person.

[0114] In one embodiment, the target temperature difference |Tr-Ts| of air conditioner 1 is calculated and compared with the temperature difference threshold (5°C), and the detection speed corresponding to air conditioner 1 is compared with the speed threshold (1 minute / person).

[0115] In one example, if the target temperature difference of air conditioner 1 is less than the temperature difference threshold and the detection speed is less than the speed threshold, then the state of air conditioner 1 remains unchanged, and the frequency P of air conditioner 1 is not changed. In this case, the outdoor unit can distribute the heat and cold evenly to the air conditioning equipment connected to it.

[0116] In another example, if the target temperature difference of air conditioner 1 is greater than the temperature difference threshold and the detection speed is greater than the speed threshold, the outdoor unit needs to increase the cooling / heating capacity to air conditioner 1. In one example, if the cooling / heating capacity that the outdoor unit needs to increase to air conditioner 1 is x%, in the application process, x can be positively correlated with the target temperature difference. Furthermore, the refrigerant flow rate of the outdoor unit can be controlled by an electronic expansion valve. Furthermore, the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve can be adjusted according to the target temperature difference, wherein the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve is positively correlated with the target temperature difference.

[0117] Combination Figure 9 The electronic expansion valve controls air conditioners 1 through 3. The electronic expansion valve can be fully open, distributing the refrigerant flow evenly among air conditioners 1 through 3. Each air conditioner also has its own independent control valve, initially set at 50% opening (corresponding to the 50% self-control shown in the diagram). This 50% initial setting in the diagram can be understood as being determined by the electronic expansion valve. By adjusting the electronic expansion valve or the individual control valves, the refrigerant flow to the outdoor unit of the air conditioning system can be increased or decreased.

[0118] In yet another embodiment, combined with Figure 10 As can be explained, the target air conditioning equipment may also include a target valve; the electronic expansion valve has a first opening degree (corresponding to the opening degree of 80% in the figure), wherein the first opening degree can be an opening degree that is not fully open.

[0119] It should be noted that the target air conditioning unit can be any one of the air conditioners shown in the diagram. In that case, the linked air conditioning units are all other air conditioners besides the target one. The following explanation will use air conditioner 1 as the target air conditioning unit and air conditioners 2 and 3 as the linked air conditioning units.

[0120] In one embodiment, the combination continues. Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment further describes that, after step 830, the air conditioning control method includes:

[0121] If the target temperature difference is greater than the temperature difference corresponding to the linked air conditioning unit within a preset time when the target valve is at its maximum opening, the refrigerant flow of the outdoor unit controlled by the remaining opening of the electronic expansion valve will be transferred to the target air conditioning unit.

[0122] It should be noted that the temperature difference corresponding to the linked air conditioning unit is the temperature difference between the ambient temperature detected by the temperature sensor of the linked air conditioning unit and the set temperature.

[0123] During application, if the target temperature difference (corresponding to the temperature difference of air conditioner 1) is greater than the temperature difference corresponding to the linked air conditioning equipment (corresponding to air conditioners 2 and 3) within a preset time, and the valve 1 configured in air conditioner 1 reaches its maximum opening, then the refrigerant flow of the outdoor unit controlled by the remaining opening of the electronic expansion valve (corresponding to the opening of 20% in the figure) can be transferred to the target air conditioning equipment. That is, the remaining 20% ​​of the cooling and heating energy of the electronic expansion valve is transferred to the corresponding required air conditioner (corresponding to air conditioner 1). Through this embodiment, the rational distribution of cooling and heating energy generated by the outdoor unit can be achieved.

[0124] As described above, the air conditioning control method provided by the present invention, when detecting that the person to be tested is located at the testing position, sterilizes a first gas containing the exhaled gas of the person to be tested, and cools or heats based on the sterilized first gas. This allows for more targeted sterilization of the area where the person to be tested is located, avoiding cross-infection and meeting the needs of outdoor nucleic acid testing scenarios.

[0125] Based on the same concept, the present invention also provides an air conditioning control device.

[0126] The air conditioning control device provided by the present invention is described below. The air conditioning control device described below can be referred to in correspondence with the air conditioning control method described above.

[0127] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the air conditioning control device provided by the present invention.

[0128] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioning control device can be applied to a target air conditioning device, wherein the target air conditioning device may include an exhaust fan and an exhaust duct. Combined with Figure 11 As can be seen, the air conditioning control device may include a processing module 1110 and an operation module 1120. Each module will be described in detail below.

[0129] The processing module 1110 can be configured to introduce a first gas into a target air conditioning device through an exhaust duct based on a suction fan when the person to be tested is located at the testing position.

[0143] Based on the carbon dioxide concentration, control the target suction level of the evacuator;

[0144] Adjust the suction level of the suction fan to the target suction level, and based on the adjusted suction level, guide the first gas into the target air conditioning equipment through the duct.

[0146] The runtime module 1120 can also be configured to:

[0147] Determine the number of first personnel to be tested corresponding to the target air conditioning equipment and the number of second personnel to be tested corresponding to the linked air conditioning equipment, wherein the number of first personnel to be tested is the number of personnel to be tested within the coverage area of ​​the target air conditioning equipment and the number of second personnel to be tested is the number of personnel to be tested within the coverage area of ​​the linked air conditioning equipment.

[0148] If the difference between the number of the first person to be tested and the number of the second person to be tested is greater than or equal to the number threshold, then adjust the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit to increase the refrigerant flow rate of the outdoor unit to the target air conditioning equipment.

[0149] If the difference between the number of the first person to be tested and the number of the second person to be tested is less than the number threshold, the electronic expansion valve of the outdoor unit will be adjusted based on the ambient temperature and the testing speed.

[0150] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the ambient temperature may include a target ambient temperature, wherein the target ambient temperature is detected by a temperature sensor of a target air conditioning device; the detection speed may include a target detection speed, wherein the target detection speed is a detection speed corresponding to the number of the first people to be detected;
