[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] The embodiments of this application provide a control method, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the method is applied to the sub-unit of an air conditioner, and the method includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 101: If a target control command is detected, determine the first operating parameter that matches the target control command.

[0043] Among them, the target control command is used to instruct the target environmental parameter value to be adjusted within the reference space.

[0044] In this embodiment, the air conditioning main unit typically refers to a fixedly installed indoor unit that cannot rotate freely. It is usually used in conjunction with an outdoor unit and has at least cooling and heating functions. For example, it can be a cabinet-type indoor unit or a wall-mounted indoor unit. The air conditioning sub-unit can be used in conjunction with the main unit. When the main unit is a cabinet-type indoor unit, it can have a storage cavity for storing the sub-unit. This cavity can also contain a charging station for the sub-unit. This allows the sub-unit to be returned to the storage cavity when not in use, or the user can push it into the cavity for storage and charging, effectively saving space. However, it should be noted that not all cabinet-type indoor units require a storage cavity for the sub-unit to function with it; cabinet-type indoor units without a storage cavity can also be used with the sub-unit. The sub-unit can have at least one of the following functions: purification, sterilization, humidification, aromatherapy, and air blowing. In some cases, the indoor unit can also provide hot or cold air at different temperatures as needed, which helps to work with the air conditioning unit to quickly achieve cooling or heating effects in the environment where the air conditioning unit is located.

[0045] Target control commands can be sent by the user to the air conditioner unit, such as by the user directly operating the physical buttons on the air conditioner unit, or by the user sending the commands to the air conditioner unit through a third-party control device, such as the user's smart mobile terminal, smart home central control device, or the air conditioner unit's remote control. Target control commands can also be sent by the air conditioner main unit to the air conditioner unit, so that the air conditioner unit can cooperate with the air conditioner main unit to quickly adjust the target environmental parameters.

[0046] The target parameter value of the target environment parameter can be set by the user. For example, the room temperature is set to 27°C in the cooling mode, or the air purification is set to level 1. In this case, the target parameter value corresponding to level 1 is a parameter range.

[0047] Step 102: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to operate at the first operating parameter.

[0048] In this embodiment, the operating parameters of the air conditioner sub-unit are adjusted to the first operating parameters, so that the air conditioner sub-unit operates with the first operating parameters, thereby changing the target environmental parameters in the first space where the air conditioner sub-unit is currently located, changing the environment in the first space, and achieving the user's expectations.

[0049] Step 103: Determine the first air conditioning unit located in the first space where the air conditioning sub-unit is located.

[0050] The reference space includes a first space, and the first air conditioning unit is used to adjust the target environmental parameter value to the target parameter value under the control of the air conditioning sub-unit.

[0051] In this embodiment, the air conditioner sub-unit's determination of the first air conditioning unit within the first space can be achieved by the user notifying the air conditioner sub-unit, or by the air conditioner sub-unit determining the first space based on a preset relationship of identifiers of air conditioning units set in different spaces, including a preset regional layout map. The reference space corresponds to the preset regional layout map, and the corresponding preset relationship can be collected by the air conditioner sub-unit or uploaded by the user to the storage unit of the air conditioner sub-unit and / or the air conditioning unit during use.

[0052] The first space can be the space where the air conditioner unit is originally located; or it can be determined by the air conditioner unit according to preset rules. For example, the preset rules can be determined by the number of users in each space of the reference space. Specifically, it can be that the space with the most users in the space is determined as the first space; or the first space can be determined according to the space movement sequence of the air conditioner unit that is preset.

[0053] Step 104: At the first preset location, collect the first current parameter value of the target environment parameter in the first space.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first preset position is a position parameter determined based on a pre-analysis of the first space, or it can be an empirical position obtained from numerous experiments. The target environmental parameter values ​​collected at the first preset position can effectively represent the target environmental parameter values ​​for the entire first space. The air conditioner unit moves to the first preset position, and the first current parameter value of the target environmental parameter is collected by the target environmental parameter collection device installed on the air conditioner unit.

[0055] Step 105: If the first current parameter value matches the target parameter value, control the air conditioner sub-unit to move into the second space.

[0056] If the first current parameter value matches the target parameter value, the air conditioning unit is controlled to move into the second space to adjust the target environmental parameter value in the second space. The reference space includes the second space.

[0057] In this embodiment, if the first current parameter value does not match the target parameter value, the air conditioner sub-unit is controlled to remain stationary at the first preset position and continue to work in conjunction with the first air conditioner main unit until the first current parameter value matches the target parameter value, at which point the air conditioner sub-unit is controlled to move. The second space can be determined according to a pre-set spatial movement order of the air conditioner sub-unit, meaning that the movement order of the second space is after the first space. In other words, after the air conditioner sub-unit finishes adjusting the target environmental parameters of the first space, it needs to adjust the target environmental parameters of the second space.

[0058] In this embodiment, if a target control command is detected, the air conditioning sub-unit determines a first operating parameter matching the target control command and controls the air conditioning sub-unit to operate with the first operating parameter. Then, the first air conditioning unit located in the first space where the air conditioning sub-unit is located is determined and processed at a first preset position. The first current parameter value of the target environmental parameter in the first space is collected. If the first current parameter value matches the target parameter value, the air conditioning sub-unit is controlled to move to the second space to adjust the value of the target environmental parameter in the second space. In this way, through the control of the first air conditioning unit in the first space by the air conditioning sub-unit, and the effect of the air conditioning sub-unit on the target environmental parameter in the second space, the environmental parameter can be quickly adjusted under the linkage control of the air conditioning sub-unit. This solves the problem of poor linkage between air conditioning equipment, realizes a linkage control method between air conditioning equipment, improves the intelligence level of air conditioning equipment, and improves the working efficiency of air conditioning equipment.

[0059] Based on the foregoing embodiments, embodiments of this application provide a control method, referring to... Figure 2 As shown, the method is applied to the sub-unit of an air conditioner, and the method includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 201: If a target control command is received from the second air conditioning unit, control the air conditioning sub-unit to move to the third space where the second air conditioning unit is located.

[0061] The target control command is obtained by the user controlling the second air conditioning unit, and the reference space includes the third space.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second air conditioning unit is an air conditioning unit operated by a user. Specifically, the user adjusts the target environmental parameters of the reference space to the target parameter value using the second air conditioning unit. After the user's operation, the second air conditioning unit sends a target control command to the air conditioning sub-unit based on the user's operation. The user can operate the second air conditioning unit by pressing the operation buttons on the unit or by using a third-party device such as a remote control for the second air conditioning unit, a smart mobile terminal, or a smart home central control device.

[0063] The second air conditioning unit determines whether the air conditioning sub-unit is in the third space where the second air conditioning unit is located. If the air conditioning sub-unit is in the third space, step 202 is executed directly. If the air conditioning sub-unit is not in the third space, the air conditioning sub-unit is moved to the third space. It should be noted that if the air conditioning sub-unit is in the storage compartment of the air conditioning unit, the air conditioning sub-unit needs to communicate with the air conditioning unit that stores it, requesting to come out of the storage compartment and move to the third space.

[0064] For example, taking the whole-house temperature equalization control command as the target control command, the corresponding reference space is the whole house. The whole-house temperature equalization control command is used to instruct the temperature of the whole house to be adjusted to 27℃. After receiving the whole-house temperature equalization control command, the second air conditioning unit responds by adjusting its own working mode to cooling mode and setting the target cooling temperature to 27℃. At the same time, it notifies the air conditioning sub-unit to move to the first room where the second air conditioning unit is located, i.e., the aforementioned third space. The second air conditioning unit sends the whole-house temperature equalization control command and the location information of the second air conditioning unit to the air conditioning sub-unit. The air conditioning sub-unit receives the whole-house temperature equalization control command and moves to the first room where the second air conditioning unit is located according to the location information of the second air conditioning unit. In some application scenarios, the air conditioning sub-unit can also determine the location information of the second air conditioning unit after receiving the whole-house temperature equalization control command sent by the second air conditioning unit, determine the identification information of the second air conditioning unit, and then determine it from the preset spatial relationship based on the identification information of the second air conditioning unit.

[0065] The communication method between the second air conditioning unit and the air conditioning sub-unit can be wireless internet communication or short-range wireless communication, such as infrared communication, Bluetooth communication and ZigBee communication.

[0066] Step 202: Determine the first operating parameter that matches the target control command.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first working parameter is the working parameter that needs to be performed when the air conditioner sub-unit performs the function corresponding to the target control command.

[0068] For example, suppose that when the main air conditioner unit adjusts the indoor temperature, the sub-unit only has an air supply function. To achieve rapid adjustment of the indoor temperature, the first operating parameter determined by the sub-unit is the maximum air supply speed corresponding to the command for balanced temperature control throughout the room. If the sub-unit has both air supply and cooling functions, then the first operating parameter includes both the air supply speed and the cooling parameter.

[0069] Step 203: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to operate at the first operating parameter.

[0070] In this embodiment of the application, the operating parameters of the air conditioner sub-unit are set to the first operating parameters to enable the air conditioner sub-unit to operate.

[0071] Step 204: At the second preset location within the third space, collect the second current parameter value of the target environment parameter.

[0072] The target environmental parameters include at least one of the following parameters: ambient temperature parameter and air quality parameter.

[0073] In this embodiment of the application, the second preset position is pre-set for the third space, and the parameter value of the target environment parameter collected at the second preset position can represent the parameter value of the target environment parameter in the entire third space.

[0074] Air quality parameters include at least one of the following: bacterial concentration parameter, aromatherapy fragrance concentration parameter, humidity parameter, air purification parameter, etc.

[0075] Step 205: If the second current parameter value matches the target parameter value, determine the first space of the next processing order adjacent to the third space based on the preset processing order of the reference space.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, a preset processing order for adjusting the target environmental parameters is pre-set for each space included in the reference space. Specifically, it can be determined based on the movement path of the air conditioner sub-unit, that is, when adjusting the reference space, the movement path between each space in the reference space is minimized, or it can be determined based on the number of users in each space in the reference space.

[0077] When the second current parameter value matches the target parameter value, the air conditioning sub-unit determines the first space, while the second air conditioning main unit continues to work in the mode of adjusting the target environmental parameters to ensure that the value of the target environmental parameters in the third space is maintained at the target parameter value.

[0078] For example, when the second air conditioning unit and the air conditioning sub-unit adjust the current indoor temperature to the target parameter value of 27°C, the second air conditioning unit maintains the lowest frequency operation in the cooling mode to ensure that the ambient temperature in the third space is 27°C, while the air conditioning sub-unit determines the next space that needs to be processed, namely the first space, and moves to the first space, so as to achieve a uniform temperature of 27°C throughout the house and improve the user experience.

[0079] Step 206: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to move into the first space.

[0080] Step 207: Determine the first air conditioning unit located in the first space where the air conditioning sub-unit is located.

[0081] The reference space includes a first space, and the first air conditioning unit is used to adjust the target environmental parameter value to the target parameter value under the control of the air conditioning sub-unit.

[0082] In this embodiment, before the air conditioner unit moves to the first space, the air conditioner unit can control all air conditioner main units in the reference space that have cooling functions and can be communicated with to turn on the working mode of adjusting the target environmental parameters to the target parameter values. In this way, when the air conditioner unit and the second air conditioner main unit are adjusting the target environmental parameters, the other air conditioner main units have already adjusted the target environmental parameters, which effectively shortens the target environmental parameter adjustment time of the spaces in the reference space other than the third space, quickly meets the user's requirements, and improves the user experience.

[0083] However, in some application scenarios, the air conditioning unit may only turn on and enter the working mode of adjusting the target environmental parameters to the target parameter value when the air conditioning unit reaches a certain space in the reference space, effectively reducing the consumption of resources such as electricity.

[0084] Step 208: At the first preset position, collect the first current parameter value of the target environment parameter in the first space.

[0085] Step 209: If the first current parameter value matches the target parameter value, control the air conditioner sub-unit to move into the second space.

[0086] If the first current parameter value matches the target parameter value, the air conditioning unit is controlled to move into the second space to adjust the target environmental parameter value in the second space. The reference space includes the second space.

[0087] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments of this application, the process of controlling the air conditioning main unit of that space to adjust the target environmental parameters to the target parameter value is implemented only when the air conditioning sub-unit moves to a certain space. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, after the air conditioner unit performs step 207, it is also used to perform steps 210 to 211:

[0088] Step 210: Determine the first control command that matches the target control command for the first air conditioning unit.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first control instruction is an instruction for controlling the first air conditioning unit to switch its working mode to a working mode in which the value of the target environmental parameter is adjusted to the target parameter value.

[0090] Step 211: Send the first control command to the first air conditioning unit.

[0091] The first control command is used to instruct the first air conditioning unit to perform an operation to adjust the target environmental parameter to the target parameter value.

[0092] In this embodiment, the first air conditioning unit is controlled by the air conditioning sub-unit to switch to the working mode of adjusting the target environmental parameter value to the target parameter value. In this way, the user only needs to operate the second air conditioning unit and does not need to control the first air conditioning unit, which simplifies the user operation process and improves the user experience.

[0093] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments of this application, the process implemented is that after the air conditioning sub-unit receives the target control command, it controls all air conditioning main units in the reference space to adjust the target environmental parameters to the target parameter values. Figure 4 As shown, before the air conditioner unit performs step 207, it also performs steps 212 to 214:

[0094] Step 212: Determine the target air conditioning equipment within the reference space used to achieve the adjustment of the target environmental parameters.

[0095] The target air conditioning equipment includes at least a first air conditioning unit and a second air conditioning unit.

[0096] In this embodiment of the application, all air conditioning units within the reference space that can be controlled by the air conditioning sub-unit and have the ability to adjust the values ​​of the target environmental parameters are determined to obtain the target air conditioning equipment.

[0097] Step 213: Determine the second control command that matches the target air conditioning equipment with the target control command.

[0098] In this embodiment, the number of instructions included in the second control command can be the same as the number of air conditioning units included in the target air conditioning device. However, if the air conditioning units included in the target air conditioning device use the same control command, then the second control command can be a single command. Communication between the air conditioning unit and the target air conditioning device can be achieved via wireless internet communication or via short-range wireless communication, such as infrared communication, Bluetooth communication, and ZigBee communication.

[0099] Step 214: Send the second control command to the target air conditioning unit.

[0100] The second control command is used to instruct the target air conditioning equipment to perform an operation that adjusts the target environmental parameter to the target parameter value.

[0101] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the second control command, the target air conditioning device begins to perform the operation of adjusting the value of the target environmental parameter to the target parameter value.

[0102] It should be noted that steps 212 to 214 can be executed after "if the target control command sent by the second air conditioning unit is received" in step 210.

[0103] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments of this application, reference is made to... Figure 5 As shown, after the air conditioner unit performs step 209, it is also used to perform steps 215 to 223:

[0104] Step 215: If there is no third air conditioning unit in the second space to adjust the values ​​of the target environmental parameters, determine the preset relay position in the second space.

[0105] In this embodiment, if the second space does not have a third air conditioning unit for adjusting the target environmental parameter value, it can mean that there is no air conditioning unit installed in the second space that can be controlled by an air conditioning sub-unit. In this case, the second space can be a passageway or other area within the reference space. The preset relay position is the position where the target environmental parameter of the second space can be quickly adjusted by using the air conditioning sub-unit in conjunction with the corresponding air conditioning unit that is closest to the air conditioning sub-unit and whose adjusted target environmental parameter value is the target parameter value. This position can be based on empirical positions obtained from a large number of experiments, or it can be calculated by the second space and the nearest air conditioning unit.

[0106] Step 216: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to move to the preset relay position.

[0107] Step 217: Determine the second working parameter that matches the target control command at the preset relay position.

[0108] In this embodiment of the application, the working parameters of the target control command corresponding to the air conditioner sub-unit may be different at different preset relay positions. Therefore, after determining the preset relay position, the corresponding second working parameters can be determined.

[0109] Step 218: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to operate with the second operating parameters.

[0110] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner unit moves to the preset relay position, the operating parameters of the air conditioner unit are adjusted from the first operating parameter to the second operating parameter to ensure the effective operation of the air conditioner unit in the second space and to achieve rapid adjustment of the target environmental parameters of the second space.

[0111] Step 219: At the preset relay position, collect the third current parameter value of the target environment parameters in the second space.

[0112] After the air conditioner unit performs step 219, it can choose to perform steps 220-221 or steps 222-223. If the third current parameter value matches the target parameter value, and the second space is the last space region in the reference space where the target environmental parameter value needs to be adjusted, select to perform steps 220-221. If the third current parameter value matches the target parameter value, and the reference space also includes a space region where the target environmental parameter value has not been adjusted, select to perform steps 222-223.

[0113] Step 220: If the third current parameter value matches the target parameter value, and the second space is the space region in the reference space where the last target environment parameter value needs to be adjusted, determine the third working parameter that matches the target control command.

[0114] The third operating parameter is to ensure that the air conditioning unit maintains the target environmental parameter value and the target parameter value with the lowest power consumption.

[0115] In this embodiment of the application, when the third current parameter value matches the target parameter value, and the second space is the last space region in the reference space where the target environmental parameter value needs to be adjusted, the third working parameter enables the air conditioner sub-unit to continue working with the lowest power consumption, so as to ensure that the target environmental parameter value matches the target parameter value.

[0116] Step 221: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to operate with the third operating parameter.

[0117] In this embodiment, the air conditioner sub-unit is controlled to operate within the second space using a third operating parameter. In some application scenarios, the air conditioner sub-unit can be moved to a position within the second space that does not obstruct the user and operate using the third operating parameter. In some application scenarios, after the values ​​of the target environmental parameters in the reference space are adjusted to match the target parameter values, the air conditioner sub-unit can also be controlled to stop operating and move to the space containing the air conditioner main unit with a storage cavity, where it can be stored and charged.

[0118] Step 222: If the third current parameter value matches the target parameter value, and the reference space also includes a space region whose target environment parameter value has not been adjusted, determine the fourth space that is adjacent to the second space in the processing order.

[0119] Step 223: Move the air conditioner sub-unit to the fourth space.

[0120] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments of this application, reference is made to... Figure 6 As shown, after the air conditioner unit performs step 209, it is also used to perform steps 224-225:

[0121] Step 224: If the second space has a third air conditioning unit for adjusting the values ​​of the target environmental parameters, update the first space to the second space.

[0122] Step 225: Execute the step "Determine the first air conditioning unit in the first space where the air conditioning sub-unit is located" until the values ​​of the target environmental parameters in all spaces within the reference space match the target parameter values, then control the air conditioning sub-unit to operate with the third operating parameter.

[0123] In this embodiment, a third air conditioning unit is provided in the second space for adjusting the value of the target environmental parameter. After updating the first space to the second space, steps 207 to 209 are repeated until the value of the target environmental parameter in all spaces in the reference space matches the target parameter value.

[0124] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments of this application, reference is made to... Figure 7 As shown, before the air conditioner sub-unit executes step 208, it is also used to execute steps 226 to 228:

[0125] Step 226: Determine at least one preset division area for the first space by the first air conditioning unit.

[0126] In this embodiment, the first space is divided into at least one preset area based on the rotation angle range of the air outlet of the first air conditioner unit. Each preset area is the area along the airflow direction of the first air conditioner.

[0127] Step 227: Determine the order of adjustment for the target environmental parameters for at least one preset division region.

[0128] In this embodiment, adjusting the sorting order is usually to reduce the order in which the air conditioner sub-units are moved. Therefore, adjusting the sorting order can be to first adjust the target environmental parameters of the preset division area farthest from the exit of the first space, and finally adjust the target environmental parameters of the preset division area where the exit of the first space is located.

[0129] Step 228: Based on the adjustment sorting order, control the air conditioner sub-unit to move and adjust the value of the target environmental parameter until the air conditioner sub-unit moves to the preset target position corresponding to the last adjustment number in the adjustment sorting order.

[0130] In this embodiment, the movement of the air conditioner unit within the first space can be achieved according to a corresponding preset path. The preset target location is typically the exit location of the first space.

[0131] Similarly, this process can also be applied to the reference spaces, such as the second space, the third space, the fourth space, and so on. For details, please refer to the processing procedure for the first space; it will not be elaborated here.

[0132] Based on the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments of this application, step 228 may be derived from steps 228a to 228h:

[0133] Step 228a: Determine the target adjustment angle corresponding to the first air conditioning unit when adjusting the target environmental parameters within the preset division area corresponding to the current adjustment number.

[0134] Among them, the current sequence number to be adjusted belongs to the sorting order adjustment.

[0135] In this embodiment of the application, the target adjustment angle is the airflow coverage angle of the air outlet of the first air conditioning unit.

[0136] Step 228b: Adjust the air outlet angle of the first air conditioning unit to the target angle.

[0137] Step 228c: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to move to the first preset reference position of the preset division area corresponding to the current adjustment sequence number.

[0138] In the embodiments of this application, the first preset reference position is usually the optimal adjustment position for adjusting the target environmental parameters in the preset division area.

[0139] Step 228d: Collect the fourth current parameter value of the target environment parameters at the first preset reference position.

[0140] Step 228e: If the fourth current parameter value does not match the target parameter value, control the air conditioner sub-unit not to move at the first preset reference position and continue to work with the first working parameters.

[0141] Step 228f: If the fourth current parameter value matches the target parameter value, determine the next reference number adjacent to the current number to be adjusted according to the adjustment sorting order.

[0142] Step 228g: Control the air conditioner sub-unit to move to the second preset reference position of the preset division area corresponding to the reference number.

[0143] Step 228h: Update the current adjustment sequence number to the reference sequence number, and repeat the step "determine the target adjustment angle of the first air conditioning unit when adjusting the target environmental parameters in the preset division area corresponding to the current adjustment sequence number" until the air conditioning sub-unit is moved to the preset target position corresponding to the last adjustment sequence number in the adjustment sorting.

[0144] It should be noted that, Figures 2-7The steps in the process can be combined according to the actual execution logic, which will not be elaborated here.

[0145] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides a structural schematic diagram of an air conditioning device, which can be referred to as follows. Figure 8 As shown, it includes air conditioner main unit A and air conditioner sub-unit B. Figure 8 The air conditioner sub-unit B is housed within the storage cavity of the air conditioner main unit A. The main unit can perform basic functions such as cooling, heating, and dehumidification. The sub-unit integrates at least one of the following functions: purification, sterilization, humidification, and aromatherapy. When certain functions are required, the sub-unit can detach from the main unit and move to a designated location to perform the specified task. The sub-unit contains at least a fan, impeller, and environmental parameter sensors. Furthermore, it may also include devices such as a camera. The environmental parameter sensors can be temperature sensors or air quality sensors. The impeller can rotate freely 360° to adjust the airflow angle of the sub-unit.

[0146] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides an air conditioner sub-unit that can be used in conjunction with multiple air conditioner main units, with reference to... Figure 9 In the schematic diagram of the reference space layout shown, Figure 9 It includes N rooms and one corridor, with each room equipped with a corresponding air conditioning unit, based on Figure 9 The implementation process of a control method for achieving balanced temperature control throughout the house using the aforementioned reference space can be referred to... Figure 10 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0147] Step 301, Begin.

[0148] Step 302: If the first air conditioning unit receives the whole-house temperature equalization control command sent by the user, the first air conditioning unit checks whether the air conditioning unit is in the storage compartment. If the air conditioning unit is in the storage compartment, proceed to step 303; if the air conditioning unit is not in the storage compartment, proceed to step 304.

[0149] Step 303: The first air conditioning unit controls the air conditioning sub-unit to move from the storage compartment to the first room where the first air conditioning unit is located.

[0150] Step 304: The first air conditioning unit sends a whole-house temperature equalization control command to the air conditioning sub-unit.

[0151] Step 305: After receiving the whole-house temperature equalization command, the air conditioner unit responds to the whole-house temperature equalization command by collecting the real-time ambient temperature in the first room where the first air conditioner unit is located through the temperature acquisition module at preset time intervals.

[0152] Step 306: The air conditioner sub-unit and the first air conditioner main unit execute the temperature equalization control program.

[0153] Step 307: The air conditioner unit determines whether the temperature in the first room is balanced. If it is balanced, proceed to step 308; otherwise, proceed to step 306.

[0154] Step 308: Move the air conditioner unit to the next second room adjacent to the first room, and repeat steps 306 to 308 until the air conditioner unit moves to the Nth room, then proceed to step 309.

[0155] Step 309: When the air conditioner unit determines that the temperature in room N is balanced, the air conditioner unit moves to the aisle.

[0156] Step 310: The air conditioner unit executes the temperature equalization control program. The air conditioner unit collects the real-time temperature of the aisle through the temperature acquisition module. The air conditioner unit determines whether the temperature in the aisle has been equalized. If it has been equalized, proceed to step 311; otherwise, repeat step 310.

[0157] Step 311: Move the air conditioner sub-unit to the first room.

[0158] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, each room is divided into M zones. The M zones are determined based on the airflow angle of the air conditioning unit in each room. The specific implementation process of the corresponding temperature equalization control program will be explained using step 306 as an example. (Refer to...) Figure 11 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0159] Step 401, Begin.

[0160] Step 402: Move the air conditioner sub-unit to area 1 of the first room.

[0161] When the air conditioner unit moves to area 1, the angle of the air guide strip of the first air conditioner unit is adjusted to align with area 1, so that the air supply direction of the first air conditioner unit is towards area 1. The air conditioner unit moves to the air supply relay position in area 1, so that the air conditioning air blown out by the first air conditioner unit can reach a farther place, and can quickly achieve temperature balance in area 1.

[0162] Step 403: The air conditioner unit determines the target temperature value indicated in the whole-house temperature balancing command.

[0163] Step 404: The air conditioner unit collects the current temperature value in area 1 through the temperature acquisition module at preset time intervals.

[0164] Step 405: The air conditioner unit determines whether the difference between the current temperature value and the target temperature value is less than a preset value. If the difference between the current temperature value and the target temperature value is greater than the preset value, proceed to step 406. If the difference between the current temperature value and the target temperature value is less than or equal to a preset threshold, proceed to step 407.

[0165] Step 406: The air conditioner sub-unit continues to deliver air at the air delivery relay position. The first air conditioner sub-unit maintains the current air blowing speed and angle and continues to deliver air to area 1.

[0166] Step 407: Move the air conditioner sub-unit to the air supply relay position set in area 2, and repeat steps 404 to 407.

[0167] Step 408: When the air conditioner unit moves to the air supply relay position set in area M, and detects that the difference between the current temperature value and the target temperature value in area M is less than the preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature in the first room has been balanced.

[0168] Step 409, End.

[0169] The implementation process of the temperature equalization control program for the second room, the third room, ..., the Nth room can refer to the implementation process of the temperature equalization control program for the first room, and will not be described in detail here.

[0170] Based on the foregoing embodiments, for Figure 9 The implementation process of the temperature equalization control program for the passageway mentioned above, i.e., the space without an air conditioning unit, can be referred to as follows. Figure 12 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0171] Step 501, Begin.

[0172] Step 502: The air conditioner unit moves to the preset position at the door of the second room and relays the air blown out by the second air conditioner unit in the second room, so that the air blown out by the second air conditioner unit is quickly blown into the corridor.

[0173] Step 503: The air conditioner unit collects the current temperature value at a preset location at the door of the second room through the temperature acquisition module at preset time intervals.

[0174] Step 504: The air conditioner unit determines whether the difference between the current temperature value and the target temperature value is less than a preset value. If the difference between the current temperature value and the target temperature value is greater than the preset value, proceed to step 505. If the difference between the current temperature value and the target temperature value is less than or equal to a preset threshold, proceed to step 506.

[0175] Step 505: The air conditioner sub-unit remains stationary at the preset position at the door of the second room and continues to relay the air blown out by the second air conditioner main unit.

[0176] Step 506: Move the air conditioner unit to the preset position at the door of the third room and repeat the same steps as steps 503 to 506.

[0177] Step 507: The air conditioner unit moves to a preset position at the door of the Nth room, and the difference between the current temperature value collected at the preset position at the door of the Nth room and the target temperature value is less than or equal to a preset threshold. Then, proceed to step 508.

[0178] Step 508, End.

[0179] In this way, the sub-unit can communicate not only with the main air conditioning unit housing it, but also with other main air conditioning units in various rooms to adjust the operating status of each unit, enabling the room to achieve temperature equilibrium more quickly and effectively. This allows the sub-unit to control multiple main air conditioning units. Addressing the issue of uneven temperature in corridors, the sub-unit is positioned sequentially in front of each room's door. Utilizing its fan, it adjusts its operating status, relaying airflow into the rooms to quickly equalize the temperature in the corridor with the room temperature. By circulating through rooms and corridors along a preset trajectory, the sub-unit effectively ensures temperature uniformity throughout the room, significantly improving comfort. Finally, by installing at least one temperature sensor on the sub-unit, it can detect the temperature at different locations and formulate corresponding temperature equalization control strategies, effectively achieving temperature balance throughout the entire house and avoiding the installation and maintenance problems associated with using multiple temperature sensors in traditional solutions.

[0180] Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application provides an air conditioner sub-unit that controls multiple air conditioner main units, providing whole-house reference... Figure 9 An embodiment of a control method for sterilizing and purifying the air in the reference space shown, wherein, at this time, for Figure 8 The air conditioner sub-unit should at least include an ion generator, a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) screen, a formaldehyde filter, a formaldehyde detection module, a fine particulate matter (PM2.5) detection module, and a carbon dioxide (CO2) detection module, etc., as per [reference needed]. Figure 13 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0181] Step 601: When the first air conditioning unit receives the whole-house air purification control command, it controls the air conditioning sub-unit to detach from the first air conditioning unit and the air conditioning sub-unit stays at the preset position in the first room.

[0182] The first air conditioning unit receives the whole-house air purification control command and then turns on the plasma generator and other components to purify the air.

[0183] Step 602: The air conditioner unit turns on the plasma generator, formaldehyde detection module, CO2 detection module, and PM2.5 detection module to collect the formaldehyde concentration, CO2 concentration, and PM2.5 concentration at the location of the air conditioner unit in real time.

[0184] The formaldehyde concentration, CO2 concentration, and PM2.5 concentration are the aforementioned air quality parameters.

[0185] Step 603: The first air conditioning unit and the air conditioning sub-unit execute the air purification control program in the first room.

[0186] Step 604: The air conditioner unit determines whether the air quality in the first room has met the standard. If it has, proceed to step 605; otherwise, proceed to step 603.

[0187] Step 605: Move the air conditioner unit to the preset position in the next room, i.e., the second room, and repeat the steps 603 to 604 until it moves to the Nth room, then proceed to step 606.

[0188] Step 606: The air conditioner unit determines whether the air quality in room N has met the standard. If yes, proceed to step 607; otherwise, proceed to step 603.

[0189] Step 607, End.

[0190] The process by which the first air conditioning unit and the air conditioning sub-unit execute the air purification control program in the first room can be referred to... Figure 14 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0191] Step 701, Begin.

[0192] Step 702: Move the air conditioner unit to the preset position in area 1 of the first room.

[0193] Step 703: The air conditioner sub-unit determines the air purification target value indicated in the whole-house air purification control command.

[0194] Step 704: The air conditioner unit collects the current formaldehyde concentration, current CO2 concentration and current PM2.5 concentration at a preset location in area 1 in real time.

[0195] Step 705: The air conditioner unit determines whether the current formaldehyde concentration is less than the preset formaldehyde concentration, whether the current CO2 concentration is less than the preset CO2 concentration, and whether the current PM2.5 concentration is less than the preset PM2.5 concentration. If at least one condition is not met, proceed to step 706; otherwise, proceed to step 707.

[0196] The air purification target values ​​include preset formaldehyde concentration, preset CO2 concentration, and preset PM2.5 concentration.

[0197] Step 706: The air conditioner unit continues to perform air purification at the preset location in Zone 1. The first air conditioner unit maintains the current blowing speed and blowing angle and continues to send purified air to Zone 1.

[0198] Step 707: Move the air conditioner sub-unit to the preset position set in area 2, and repeat steps 704 to 707.

[0199] Step 708: The air conditioner unit moves to the preset position set in area M, and when it detects that the current formaldehyde concentration in area M is less than the preset formaldehyde concentration, the current CO2 concentration is less than the preset CO2 concentration, and the current PM2.5 concentration is less than the preset PM2.5 concentration, it is determined that the air quality in the first room has met the standard.

[0200] Step 709, End.

[0201] The implementation process of the air purification control program for the second room, the third room, ..., the Nth room can refer to the implementation process of the air purification control program for the first room, and will not be described in detail here.

[0202] Based on the foregoing embodiments, for Figure 9 The implementation process of the temperature equalization control program for the passageway mentioned above, i.e., the space without an air conditioning unit, can be referred to as follows. Figure 15 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0203] Step 801, Begin.

[0204] Step 802: The air conditioner unit moves to the preset position at the door of the second room and relays the purified air blown out by the second air conditioner unit in the second room, so that the air blown out by the second air conditioner unit is quickly blown into the corridor.

[0205] Step 803: The air conditioner unit collects the current formaldehyde concentration, current CO2 concentration, and current PM2.5 concentration at a preset location at the entrance of the second room through the formaldehyde detection module, CO2 detection module, and PM2.5 detection module at preset time intervals.

[0206] Step 804: The air conditioner unit determines whether the current formaldehyde concentration is less than the preset formaldehyde concentration, whether the current CO2 concentration is less than the preset CO2 concentration, and whether the current PM2.5 concentration is less than the preset PM2.5 concentration. If at least one condition is not met, proceed to step 805; otherwise, proceed to step 806.

[0207] Step 805: The air conditioner sub-unit remains stationary at the preset position at the entrance of the second room to perform air purification, and continues to relay the purified air blown out by the second air conditioner main unit.

[0208] Step 806: Move the air conditioner unit to the preset position at the door of the third room and repeat the same steps as steps 803 to 806.

[0209] Step 807: The air conditioner unit moves to the preset position at the door of the Nth room, and the current formaldehyde concentration collected at the preset position at the door of the Nth room is less than the preset formaldehyde concentration, the current CO2 concentration is less than the preset CO2 concentration, and the current PM2.5 concentration is less than the preset PM2.5 concentration. Then proceed to step 808.

[0210] Step 808, End.

[0211] In this way, the sub-unit can communicate not only with the main air conditioning unit (which also houses the sub-unit), but also with other main air conditioning units in each room. This allows for control of the operating status of each room's main air conditioning unit, including fan speed, air guide vane direction, and the activation and deactivation of the purification device. Furthermore, the sub-unit's fan and plasma generator work in conjunction with the main air conditioning units in each room to achieve better and faster air purification. Addressing the issue of poor air purification in corridors, the sub-unit is positioned sequentially in front of each room door, adjusting its operating status—including activating the plasma generator and adjusting fan speed—to coordinate with the main air conditioning units in each room. Through the sub-unit's fan, purified air from each room is relayed into the corridor, ensuring rapid purification of the corridor air as well. Because the sub-unit circulates through the rooms and corridors along a preset trajectory, it effectively ensures air purification throughout the entire house, improving air quality. Furthermore, by using plasma generators, HEPA filters, formaldehyde filters, formaldehyde detection modules, PM2.5 detection modules, and CO2 detection modules installed on the air conditioner sub-units, air purification can be achieved in conjunction with the air conditioning units in each room, thus achieving air purification treatment throughout the house and avoiding the high costs associated with using multiple air purifiers in traditional solutions.

[0212] It should be noted that the descriptions of the same steps and contents as in other embodiments in this embodiment can be found in the descriptions in other embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0213] In this embodiment, if a target control command is detected, the air conditioning sub-unit determines a first operating parameter matching the target control command and controls the air conditioning sub-unit to operate with the first operating parameter. Then, the first air conditioning unit located in the first space where the air conditioning sub-unit is located is determined and processed at a first preset position. The first current parameter value of the target environmental parameter in the first space is collected. If the first current parameter value matches the target parameter value, the air conditioning sub-unit is controlled to move to the second space to adjust the value of the target environmental parameter in the second space. In this way, through the control of the first air conditioning unit in the first space by the air conditioning sub-unit, and the effect of the air conditioning sub-unit on the target environmental parameter in the second space, the environmental parameter can be quickly adjusted under the linkage control of the air conditioning sub-unit. This solves the problem of poor linkage between air conditioning equipment, realizes a linkage control method between air conditioning equipment, improves the intelligence level of air conditioning equipment, and improves the working efficiency of air conditioning equipment.

[0245] If the second space has a third air conditioning unit for adjusting the values ​​of the target environmental parameters, update the first space to the second space;

[0246] The execution step is to "determine the first air conditioning unit located in the first space where the air conditioning sub-unit is located" until the values ​​of the target environmental parameters in all spaces within the reference space are adjusted to match the target parameter values, and then the air conditioning sub-unit is controlled to operate with the third operating parameter.

[0247] In other embodiments of this application, before the processor 94 performs the step of acquiring the first current parameter value of the target environment parameter in the first space at the first preset position, it is further configured to perform the following steps:

[0248] Determine at least one preset division area for the first space by the first air conditioning unit;

[0249] Determine the order of adjustment for the target environmental parameters in at least one preset region.

[0250] Based on the adjustment sorting order, the values ​​of the target environmental parameters are adjusted by controlling the movement of the air conditioner sub-unit until the air conditioner sub-unit moves to the preset target position corresponding to the last adjustment number in the adjustment sorting order.

[0251] In other embodiments of this application, the processor 94 executes steps based on adjusting the sorting order, controlling the movement of the air conditioner sub-unit until the air conditioner sub-unit moves to the preset target position corresponding to the last adjustment number in the sorting. This can be achieved through the following steps:
