[0053] Embodiment two

[0054] The embodiment discloses a passenger car air conditioner integrated air sterilization and disinfection control method.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 A control method of a passenger car air conditioner integrated air sterilization and disinfection control system based on the passenger car air conditioner integrated air sterilization and disinfection control system of embodiment one, comprising the following steps:

[0060] The air conditioner controller receives the start sterilization instruction, sends an operation instruction to the ozone generator to control the ozone generator to work for a set time, and at the same time sends an operation instruction to the air conditioner evaporative fan to control the air conditioner evaporative fan to blow ozone into and diffuse throughout the entire passenger car for a set time while the ozone generator is working, and then sends an operation instruction to the ventilation fan and the air conditioner fresh air system to control the ventilation fan and the air conditioner fresh air system to work for a set time to dissipate the ozone in the passenger car.

[0061] Specifically, the static sterilization process is as follows:

[0062] As shown in Figure 2 , the air conditioner panel controller detects whether the sterilization switch is effective after each power-on, and this step is to avoid the case that the sterilization switch is not closed in time after the last sterilization. When the air conditioner panel controller detects that the initial state of the sterilization switch is closed and then detects that the air conditioner is turned on, the ventilation process before sterilization is performed, and the air conditioner panel controller sends an operation instruction to the air conditioner controller to control the ventilation fan and the air conditioner fresh air system to work for a set time before sterilization.

[0063] In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the entire passenger car sterilization process, the hand brake switch state and the passenger door state need to be collected to prevent the car from rolling away. At this time, the combination instrument controller collects the hand brake switch state and the passenger door state, and sends the hand brake switch state and the passenger door state to the air conditioner panel controller. The air conditioner panel controller receives the hand brake switch state and the passenger door state, judges whether the hand brake is effective and whether the passenger door is closed, and sends a start sterilization instruction to the air conditioner controller when the hand brake is effective and the passenger door is closed.

[0064] The specific process of passenger car sterilization is as follows:

The air conditioner evaporative fan works, and the peak buzzer starts to alarm (30 seconds of beeping at first, and then 15 seconds of beeping every 1 minute until the ozone generator stops working and the beeping stops).

[0066] After the ozone generator stops working, the air-conditioning evaporative fan is closed after a 20s delay;

[0067] After the ozone generator stops working, the air-conditioning panel controller sends a command to the air-conditioning panel, and the air-conditioning panel displays the countdown for getting on the bus.

[0068] The air-conditioning controller sends a running command to the air-exchange fan and the air-conditioning fresh air system, controls the air-exchange fan and the air-conditioning fresh air system to work for a set time, and makes the ozone in the passenger car dissipate.
