[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0045] It should be understood that in the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "multiple" (or "amounts") means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. If "first," "second," etc., are used in the description, they are only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0046] An embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for an air handling device, an air handling device, and a storage medium. The control method for the air handling device is applied to the air handling device. The first air handling device and the second air handling device are controlled in a linkage manner. When the first air handling device is operating, it obtains the operating information of the second air handling device, can obtain the wind feeling mode of the second air handling device, and adjusts the air guiding angle of its own air guiding mechanism according to the wind feeling mode, so as to match the wind feeling mode of the second air handling device, and the two devices operate in coordination, thereby improving the wind feeling control effect of the first air handling device. It should be noted that the air handling device can be a household appliance for air handling such as an air conditioner and a fresh air fan. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first air handling device can be an air conditioner or a fresh air fan, and the second air handling device can be an air conditioner or a fresh air fan. The present invention does not make specific limitations on it. For example, when the second air handling device is an air conditioner, the first air handling device can be a fresh air fan, and the fresh air fan adjusts according to the wind feeling mode of the air conditioner, thereby improving the wind feeling control effect of the fresh air fan; when the second air handling device is a fresh air fan, the first air handling device can be an air conditioner, and the air conditioner adjusts according to the wind feeling mode of the fresh air fan, thereby improving the wind feeling control effect of the air conditioner.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, the connection manner between the first air handling device and the second air handling device in the embodiment of the present invention can be a direct connection or an indirect connection. It should be noted that the first air handling device and the second air handling device can be directly communicatively connected, and they can be communicatively connected through wireless communication modules respectively provided in the first air handling device and the second air handling device. The wireless communication module can be a Bluetooth module, a ZigBee module, a WiFi module, etc. The present invention does not make specific limitations on it; the first air handling device and the second air handling device can also be communicatively connected through a control device. The control device can be a remote control, a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc. The present invention does not make specific limitations on it. The control device can obtain the wind feeling mode of the second air handling device and send it to the first air handling device to achieve the linkage between the first air handling device and the second air handling device; the first air handling device and the second air handling device can also be connected through a cloud server. The second air handling device sends the information of its own wind feeling mode to the cloud, and the cloud sends it to the first air handling device to achieve the linkage between the first air handling device and the second air handling device. The embodiment of the present invention applies different connection methods according to different scenarios.

[0048] The following further elaborates on the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Referring to Figure 2As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a control method for an air handling device, applied to a first air handling device. The first air handling device is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet is provided with an air guiding mechanism for controlling the air guiding direction. The control method of this embodiment of the invention includes, but is not limited to, steps S110 and S120.

[0050] Step S110: Obtain the operating information of the second air handling unit.

[0051] It should be noted that the first air handling unit acquires the operating information of the second air handling unit. This operating information is used to characterize the airflow mode of the second air handling unit, which includes an airflow mode and a no-airflow mode. The first air handling unit adjusts and controls itself according to the acquired airflow mode of the second air handling unit. It can be understood that when the first air handling unit is turned on, it immediately acquires the operating information of the second air handling unit, which is the current information, allowing the first air handling unit to adjust and control itself according to the airflow mode of the second air handling unit at that moment. Alternatively, the first air handling unit may receive a control command to adjust its operating state during operation, and then acquire the operating information of the second air handling unit, allowing the first air handling unit to adjust and control itself according to the airflow mode of the second air handling unit at that moment. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0052] Step S120: Control the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism according to the operation information.

[0053] It should be noted that the first air handling unit controls the airflow angle of its guide mechanism based on the acquired operating information from the second air handling unit. This ensures that the current operating state of the first air handling unit matches the airflow mode of the second air handling unit, achieving coordinated operation between the two units. This improves the airflow control effect of the first air handling unit, ensuring that its operation does not affect the user's pre-set airflow mode, thus enhancing the user's airflow experience. It can be understood that if the operating information indicates the second air handling unit is in an airflow mode, the first air handling unit can maintain its operating state based on the operating information. That is, the first air handling unit can maintain its operating state by keeping the airflow angle of its guide mechanism constant, or it can change the airflow angle to enter a windless mode. Conversely, when the operating information indicates the second air handling unit is in a windless mode, the first air handling unit can also maintain its operating state based on the operating information or other information. That is, the first air handling unit can maintain its operating state by keeping the airflow angle of its guide mechanism constant, or it can change the airflow angle of its guide mechanism. The temperature changes, entering a windless mode. It should be noted that the air guiding mechanism may be equipped with an air guide plate, and the air guide plate may be equipped with ventilation holes. When the air guiding angle of the air guide plate is controlled, the air from the first air handling device can be blown to a specified angle, thereby achieving a windless feeling in another direction of the space. If the air guide plate is controlled to close, so that the air from the first air handling device is blown out completely through the ventilation holes, a windless feeling is achieved within the space. The air guiding mechanism can also be set to other structures to achieve the technical effects in the embodiments of the present invention. The present invention does not impose specific limitations on it. According to specific control requirements, the corresponding adjustment control strategy is executed, thereby more intelligently improving the user's air feeling experience.

[0054] It should be noted that step S120 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps: in response to the operation information indicating that the second air handling unit is in a windless mode, adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism to make the first air handling unit also be in a windless mode. When the operation information indicates that the second air handling unit is in a windless mode, the user has already set a windless mode requirement for the second air handling unit. In order to intelligently adapt to the user's needs, the first air handling unit, in response to the operation information, adjusts the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism to make the first air handling unit be in a windless mode. The air guide mechanism is equipped with an air guide plate. The first air handling unit adjusts the air guide angle by adjusting the rotation of the air guide plate, so that the first air handling unit enters the windless mode. The first air handling unit achieves linkage control with the second air handling unit, so that the operation of the first air handling unit will not affect the original windless environment in the space, thereby improving the user's windless experience and improving the wind control effect of the first air handling unit.

[0055] It should be noted that when the first air handling unit is a fresh air unit and the second air handling unit is an air conditioner, in response to the operating information indicating that the air conditioner is in a windless mode, the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism is adjusted to make the fresh air unit also enter a windless mode. The operation of the fresh air unit will not affect the windless experience of the air conditioner, thereby improving the user's windless experience. However, when the first air handling unit is an air conditioner and the second air handling unit is a fresh air unit, in response to the operating information indicating that the fresh air unit is in a windless mode, the air conditioner will not enter a windless mode along with the fresh air unit in order to ensure the cooling or heating effect in the space it is in. That is, in this embodiment of the invention, in order to ensure the cooling or heating effect in the space where the air handling units are located, the control priority of the air conditioner is higher than that of the fresh air unit.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a detailed process for adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism in the above steps to put the first air handling device in a windless mode. This process includes, but is not limited to, steps S210 and S220.

[0057] Step S210: Obtain environmental information of the space where the first air handling unit is located.

[0058] Step S220: Adjust the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism according to the environmental information so that the first air handling equipment is in a windless mode.

[0059] It should be noted that the first air handling device acquires environmental information in the space to characterize environmental parameters, and adjusts the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism according to different environmental information, so as to adjust the first air handling device to enter the windless mode according to different environmental information. In this embodiment of the invention, when the first air handling device adjusts to enter the windless mode, it will make more intelligent adjustments according to the environmental information of the space. The first air handling device adjusts the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism according to the acquired environmental information, thereby improving the intelligence level of the first air handling device.

[0060] It should be noted that the environmental information of the space can include multiple pieces of information that affect the user's comfort, such as temperature, humidity, air quality, or target user information. Different environmental information can be set according to different environmental parameter requirements, thereby improving the intelligence level of the first air handling equipment.

[0061] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below based on different environmental information.

[0062] It should be noted that when the environmental information includes the number of target objects, step S220 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps: when the number of target objects is greater than or equal to a first threshold, adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism to put the first air handling device into a windless mode. Target objects refer to users within the space. The number of target objects is used to characterize the number of users within the space. In this embodiment of the invention, the first air handling device may be equipped with a target detection sensor to obtain the number of target objects within the space. The target detection sensor may be an infrared sensor group, an ultrasonic sensor group, or other types of sensor group, which has the ability to identify and detect the number of target objects within the space. This information is processed by a background processor or by a processor embedded within the sensor group to obtain the number of target objects within the space. It is understood that the number of target objects can also be obtained through manual input, whereby the user sends information containing the number of target objects within the space to the first air handling device, allowing the first air handling device to perform the next operation based on the number of target objects. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this method. This invention, through setting a first threshold, adjusts the airflow angle of the air-guiding mechanism based on whether the number of target objects is greater than or equal to the first threshold. The first threshold is a pre-set quantity threshold; in one embodiment, it is 1, meaning the first air handling device adjusts the airflow angle to enter a windless mode only when a user is detected in the space. The first threshold can also be any value greater than 1. The first air handling device only adjusts the airflow angle to enter a windless mode when the number of target objects detected in the space is greater than or equal to the first threshold. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this. Adjusting the windless mode of the first air handling device based on the number of target objects improves the intelligence level of the first air handling device.

[0063] It should be noted that when the environmental information includes the number of target objects, step S120 may include, but is not limited to, the step of: maintaining the current air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism unchanged when the number of target objects is less than a first threshold. This embodiment of the invention sets a first threshold. When the number of target objects is less than the first threshold, the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism is not adjusted; instead, the operating state of the first air handling device remains unchanged, maintaining its air guiding angle. The first threshold is a pre-set quantity threshold. In one embodiment, the first threshold is 1, meaning that the first air handling device maintains its current operating state only when no user is detected in the space. The first threshold can also be any other value greater than 1. The first air handling device maintains its current operating state only when the number of target objects detected in the space is less than the first threshold. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this. By judging the number of target objects to adjust the operating state of the first air handling device, and not adjusting it when the number of target objects is less than the first threshold, both power consumption is saved and the intelligence level of the first air handling device is improved.

[0064] It should be noted that when the environmental information includes a temperature value, step S220 may include, but is not limited to, the following steps: when the temperature value is less than or equal to a second threshold, adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism to put the first air handling device into a windless mode. The temperature value refers to the temperature within the space. In this embodiment of the invention, the first air handling device may be equipped with a temperature detection sensor group to acquire the temperature within the space. It is understood that the temperature value can also be obtained through manual input, whereby the user sends information containing the temperature value of the space to the first air handling device, allowing the first air handling device to perform the next operation based on the temperature value. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this method. This invention, through the setting of a second threshold, adjusts the airflow angle of the air-guiding mechanism based on whether the temperature value is less than or equal to the second threshold. The second threshold is a pre-set temperature threshold; in one embodiment, it can be set to any value, customizable by the user based on their comfort level. The first air handling unit only adjusts its airflow angle to enter a windless mode when the detected temperature in the space is less than or equal to the second threshold, ensuring the cooling effect of the space. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this. Adjusting the windless mode of the first air handling unit based on temperature value improves its intelligence. It should be noted that in colder environments such as winter, to ensure the heating effect of the space, the first air handling unit can be set to adjust its airflow angle to enter a windless mode only when the temperature value is greater than or equal to the second threshold, thereby improving the windless experience in different temperature environments and enhancing airflow control.

[0065] It should be noted that when the environmental information includes a temperature value, step S120 may include, but is not limited to, the step of: maintaining the current airflow angle of the airflow guide mechanism unchanged when the temperature value is greater than a second threshold. This embodiment of the invention sets a second threshold. When the temperature value is greater than the second threshold, the airflow angle of the airflow guide mechanism is not adjusted; instead, the operating state of the first air handling device remains unchanged, maintaining its airflow angle. The second threshold is a pre-set temperature threshold. In one embodiment, the first threshold can be set to any value, customizable by the user based on their comfort level. The first air handling device maintains its current operating state only when the detected temperature value in the space is greater than the second threshold, ensuring the cooling effect of the space. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this. Adjusting the operating state of the first air handling device based on temperature value judgment, and not adjusting it when the temperature value exceeds the second threshold, saves electricity and improves the intelligence level of the first air handling device. It should be noted that when the environment is cold, such as in winter, in order to ensure the heating effect of the space, the first air handling unit can be set to maintain its current operating state only when the temperature value is lower than the second threshold. This improves the windless experience under different temperature conditions and enhances the wind control effect.

[0066] It should be noted that when the environmental information includes air quality values, step S220 may include, but is not limited to, the following step: when the air quality value is greater than or equal to a third threshold, adjusting the airflow angle of the air guide mechanism to put the first air handling device into a windless mode. Air quality value refers to the air quality within the space. Air quality values ​​are used to characterize the air quality within the space. Controlling air quality conditions may include the content of PM2.5, the content of special gases, and other substances that affect air quality. In this embodiment of the invention, the first air handling device may be equipped with a PM2.5 detection sensor group, a special gas detection sensor group, or other types of detection sensor groups to obtain the air quality value within the space. It is understood that the air quality value can also be obtained through manual input, whereby the user sends information containing the air quality value of the space to the first air handling device, allowing the first air handling device to perform the next operation based on the air quality value. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this method. This invention, through setting a third threshold, adjusts the airflow angle of the air-guiding mechanism when the temperature value is greater than or equal to the third threshold. The third threshold is a pre-set air quality value. In one embodiment, the second threshold can be set to any value, customizable by the user based on health standards. When the detected air quality value in the space is greater than or equal to the third threshold, indicating poor air quality, the first air handling device adjusts the airflow angle to enter a windless mode, ensuring that poor-quality air does not blow towards the user. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this. Adjusting the windless mode of the first air handling device based on air quality value judgment improves the intelligence level of the first air handling device.

[0067] It should be noted that when the environmental information includes air quality values, step S120 may include, but is not limited to, the step of: maintaining the current airflow angle of the air-guiding mechanism unchanged when the air quality value is less than a third threshold. This embodiment of the invention sets a third threshold. When the temperature value is less than the third threshold, the airflow angle of the air-guiding mechanism is not adjusted; instead, the operating state of the first air handling device remains unchanged, maintaining its airflow angle. The third threshold is a pre-set air quality value. In one embodiment, the third threshold can be set to any value, and can be customized by the user based on health standards. The first air handling device maintains its current operating state only when the detected air quality value in the space is less than the third threshold, ensuring that high-quality airflow is directed to the user. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on this. By judging the air quality value to adjust the operating state of the first air handling device, and not adjusting it when the air quality value is less than the third threshold, both power consumption is saved, and the intelligence level of the first air handling device is improved. Understandably, when the air quality value is below the third threshold, the first air handling unit can still enter the windless mode if the user selects to enter the windless mode, in order to meet the user's customized needs.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a detailed process for adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism in the above steps to put the first air handling device in a windless mode. This process includes, but is not limited to, steps S310 and S320.

[0069] Step S310: Obtain the location information of the target object.

[0070] Step S320: Control the air guide mechanism to rotate to the first angle according to the position information so that the first air handling device is in a windless mode in the direction corresponding to the position information.

[0071] It should be noted that the first air handling device acquires position information within the space used to characterize the location of the target object, and adjusts the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism according to different position information, so as to adjust the first air handling device to enter the windless mode according to different position information. The target object is the user in the space. In this embodiment of the invention, when the first air handling device adjusts to enter the windless mode, it will make more intelligent adjustments according to the location of the target object in the space. The first air handling device adjusts the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism according to the acquired position information, which improves the intelligence level of the first air handling device, and controls the air guiding mechanism to rotate to a first angle, so as to achieve the windless mode in the direction corresponding to the position. The air guiding mechanism in this embodiment of the invention is provided with air guide strips, which may include vertical air guide strips and horizontal air guide strips. The vertical air guide strips can guide the air to the left and right sides of the space, and the horizontal air guide strips can guide the air to the top and bottom sides of the space. The swing angle range of the vertical air guide strips is 0 to Acc degrees, where an angle of 0 degrees represents that the vertical air guide strip is completely closed, and 90 degrees < Acc < 180 degrees. The swing angle range of the horizontal air guide strips is 0 to Ass degrees, where an angle of 0 degrees represents that the horizontal air guide strip is completely closed, and 90 degrees ≤ Ass < 180 degrees. When the vertical air guide strips are adjusted, the position information obtained by the first air handling device indicates that the user is on one side of the space, and then controls the vertical air guide strips to turn to the other side corresponding to the user's position. The first angle can be 135 degrees. The vertical air guide strips can rotate 135 degrees from left to right or from right to left. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on the selection of the first angle. When the horizontal air guide is adjusted, the position information obtained by the first air handling device indicates that the user is on one side of the space. The device then controls the horizontal air guide to turn to the opposite side corresponding to the user's position, directing the airflow towards the area above the user's head. The first angle can be 135 degrees, meaning the horizontal air guide can rotate 135 degrees from bottom to top. This embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations on the selection of the first angle, and adjustments can be made in real-time as the user's position changes. In this embodiment, either the horizontal or vertical air guide can be adjusted, or both can be adjusted simultaneously, depending on the specific location of the target object, ultimately achieving a windless effect in that direction.

[0072] Reference Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a detailed process for adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism in the above steps to put the first air handling device in a windless mode. This process includes, but is not limited to, steps S410 and S420.

[0073] Step S410: Obtain the pose information of the target object.

[0074] Step S420: Control the air guide mechanism to rotate to the second angle according to the attitude information, so that the first air handling device is in a windless mode in the direction corresponding to the attitude information.

[0075] It should be noted that the first air handling device acquires posture information representing the posture of the target object within its space, and adjusts the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism according to different posture information, so as to adjust the first air handling device to enter the windless mode according to different posture information. The target object is the user within the space. In this embodiment of the invention, when the first air handling device adjusts to enter the windless mode, it will make more intelligent adjustments according to the posture of the target object within the space. The first air handling device adjusts the air guiding angle of the air guiding mechanism according to the acquired posture information, thereby improving the intelligence level of the first air handling device, and controls the air guiding mechanism to rotate to a second angle to achieve a windless mode in the direction corresponding to the posture. The air guiding mechanism in this embodiment of the invention is provided with air guiding strips, which may include vertical air guiding strips and horizontal air guiding strips. The vertical air guiding strips can guide the air to the left and right sides of the space, and the horizontal air guiding strips can guide the air to the upper and lower sides of the space. The swing angle range of the vertical air guiding strips is 0 to Acc degrees, where an angle of 0 degrees represents that the vertical air guiding strips are completely closed, and 90 degrees < Acc degrees < 180 degrees. The swing angle range of the horizontal air guiding strips is 0 to As degrees, where an angle of 0 degrees represents that the horizontal air guiding strips are completely closed, and 90 degrees ≤ As degrees < 180 degrees. When the vertical air guide is adjusted, the posture information obtained by the first air handling device indicates that the user is in a certain posture in the space. This posture may include at least one of sitting, standing, lying, or running postures. Based on a certain posture, the vertical or horizontal air guide is controlled to turn to the other side corresponding to the user's posture, that is, to turn to a second angle. As the user's posture changes, real-time adjustment can be achieved. In the embodiments of the present invention, either the horizontal or vertical air guide can be adjusted arbitrarily, or both the horizontal and vertical air guides can be adjusted simultaneously, depending on the specific posture of the target object, so as to ultimately achieve no wind in the direction of that posture.

[0076] Reference Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a detailed process for adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism in the above steps to put the first air handling device in a windless mode. This process includes, but is not limited to, steps S510 and S520.

[0077] Step S510: Control the air guide mechanism to rotate to the third angle so that the first air handling device is in a windless mode in the first preset direction.

[0078] Step S520: When the first air handling unit is in the windless mode in the first preset direction for a preset duration, the air guide mechanism is controlled to rotate to the fourth angle so that the first air handling unit is in the windless mode in the second preset direction.

[0079] It should be noted that after the first air handling unit enters the windless mode, its air guiding mechanism rotates to the third angle, which is the first preset direction. In this direction, the unit is in windless mode. As the time in this direction reaches a preset duration, the air guiding mechanism is then adjusted to rotate to the fourth angle, which corresponds to the second preset direction. In this direction, the unit is in windless mode. The fourth angle is different from the third angle. The preset duration can be a user-defined time. After this time is reached, the windless direction in the space is adjusted. In this embodiment, the air guiding mechanism is equipped with air guide strips, which may include vertical air guide strips and horizontal air guide strips. The vertical air guide strips can guide the air to the left and right sides of the space, while the horizontal air guide strips can guide the air to the top and bottom sides of the space. At least one of the vertical and horizontal air guide strips has a ventilation hole. The air from the first air handling unit can be discharged through the ventilation hole. When the air guide strip is completely closed, the air is completely discharged through the ventilation hole, achieving a completely windless feeling. If either the horizontal or vertical air guide strip is not completely closed, the space is in a semi-windless state.

[0080] Understandably, in one embodiment, the air guiding mechanism directs the air to a third angle, which can be from 0 to 180 degrees, that is, at least one of the vertical or horizontal air guide strips turns to the third angle. At this time, the first preset direction can be a position corresponding to the user's position and posture, where there is no wind. The first air handling device enters a semi-windless mode. As the time in the semi-windless mode reaches a preset duration, the air guiding mechanism directs the air to a fourth angle, which can be 0 degrees or 180 degrees, that is, the air guide strips are completely closed, and the air flows out only from the air guide strips with ventilation holes. The second preset direction is all directions within the space, that is, achieving a completely windless feeling within the space. Conversely, in one embodiment, the air guiding mechanism directs the air to a third angle, which can be 0 degrees or 180 degrees, meaning the air guide strips are completely closed and air flows only from the air guide strips with ventilation holes. The first preset direction is all directions within the space, achieving a completely windless environment. As the time in the windless mode reaches a preset duration, the air guiding mechanism directs the air to a fourth angle, which can be between 0 and 180 degrees, meaning at least one of the vertical or horizontal air guide strips rotates to the fourth angle. At this time, the second preset direction can be a position corresponding to the user's position and posture, where there is no wind, and the first air handling device enters a semi-windless mode. Whether to enter a semi-windless or fully windless mode first can be determined according to the user's custom settings, and this invention does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0081] Reference Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a control method for an air handling device. The control method for the air handling device in this embodiment may also include, but is not limited to, steps S610 and S620.

[0082] Step S610: Obtain adjustment information from the control device for adjusting the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism.

[0083] Step S620: Adjust the air guide angle of the air guide mechanism according to the adjustment information.

[0084] It should be noted that the first air handling unit communicates with the control device, which can be a remote control, smartphone, or tablet, etc. This invention does not impose specific limitations on this. The first air handling unit processes the adjustment information from the control device to adjust the airflow angle of the air guide mechanism. The adjustment information includes adjustment commands to the air guide mechanism to put the first air handling unit into a windless mode. The adjustment information can also be preset duration information for windless mode operation, or other custom settings, which this invention does not impose specific limitations on. It can be understood that when the first air handling unit is turned on, it is currently in windless mode. Upon receiving adjustment information to turn off windless mode, it adjusts the airflow angle of the air guide mechanism to turn off windless mode, thereby meeting the user's customization needs and improving the intelligence level of the first air handling unit.

[0085] It should be noted that the fresh air unit in the embodiments of the present invention can be a total heat exchange fresh air unit or other types of fresh air units, and the air conditioner can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, a window air conditioner, a portable air conditioner, an embedded air conditioner, etc. The present invention does not impose specific limitations on them.

[0086] Reference Figure 8As shown, it should be noted that in one scenario of this embodiment of the invention, there are multiple rooms 200. The first air handling unit is a fresh air unit 201, and the second air handling unit is an air conditioner 202. One fresh air unit 201 provides fresh air to multiple rooms 200. Each room 200 is equipped with a fresh air vent 203, i.e., there are multiple fresh air vents 203. The fresh air vents 203 are connected to the fresh air unit 201 through fresh air ducts 204. Each room 200 is connected to the fresh air unit 201 through an air outlet 205. 1. Connection to achieve fresh air circulation: Each room 200's fresh air inlet 203 is equipped with an air guide mechanism 206. When the fresh air unit 201 is running, if n0 rooms 200 need fresh air, then n0 air guide mechanisms 206 will be activated. If the air guide mechanisms 206 of n1 rooms 200 receive adjustment information from the control device, or detect that the air conditioner 202 in their respective rooms 200 is in windless mode, then these n1 air guide mechanisms 206 will adjust their air guide angle to enter windless mode. If n2 of the n1 air guide mechanisms 206 in windless mode receive a command to turn off windless mode, then these n2 air guide mechanisms 206 will cancel windless mode and return to their original operating mode.
