Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people are paying more and more attention to the automation and intelligent service functions of home appliances. Especially in modern society where the number of tourists is increasing, the quality of electrical appliance services in hotels can greatly affect people's rest experience while traveling. As an air handling device with temperature regulation and dehumidification functions, air conditioners are equipped in almost every hotel. Therefore, the development of their automated service functions is very important. According to the survey statistics, hotels generally have the following two problems: (1) Hotel rooms often have thicker walls and smaller windows compared to ordinary family rooms due to considerations of sound insulation and heat preservation. Therefore, most hotel rooms have problems such as small space, poor air circulation and poor ventilation. After the air conditioner runs for a period of time, the air humidity drops significantly and becomes very stuffy. The surface of the human skin becomes dry and the breathing comfort deteriorates, which seriously affects the comfort of the human body; (2) People have always been troubled by the lack of convenient drying services after washing clothes in hotels, which often requires extra clothes and greatly affects the convenience of travel.

[0031] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the reference numerals in the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 102 - Acquisition unit; 104 - Control unit. Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control method for an air conditioning linkage system is provided. The air conditioning linkage system includes an air conditioner and a wardrobe. The air conditioner includes an evaporator side and a condenser side. A turbocharger is provided at the air inlet of the evaporator side. The wardrobe is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet of the wardrobe connects the wardrobe to the room, allowing indoor air to enter the wardrobe through the air inlet. The turbocharger is connected to the air outlet of the wardrobe via a duct. The air conditioner has a clothes drying mode, which can dry the clothes in the wardrobe and use the moisture generated during drying to humidify the room. This clothes drying mode can be activated in cooling mode, heating mode, or other modes, with better clothes drying efficiency in heating mode.

[0035] The overall structure of the air conditioning linkage system, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner evaporator side located indoors is connected to the enclosed wardrobe via air ducts.

[0036] The specific structure of the evaporator side of the air conditioner, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the evaporator side includes a panel, a bottom shell, an evaporator, a turbocharger, an air inlet box, an air guide plate, and a baffle plate. A humidity monitor is installed at the air guide plate to detect the humidity of the supplied air. The air duct is specifically connected to the turbocharger on the evaporator side, and the turbocharger is connected to the air inlet box. A baffle plate separates the air inlet box from the air intake of the bottom shell. The baffle plate is suspended from the bottom shell by a pin and can rotate freely around the pin. When the air conditioner is not in clothes drying mode and the turbocharger is not activated, the baffle plate hangs down naturally, separating the air inlet box from the bottom shell, creating a sealed space within the air inlet box, and preventing air from entering the air inlet box and blowing onto the wardrobe. The evaporator side of the air conditioner also has other air inlets for drawing air from the room.

[0037] The specific structure of the wardrobe, such as Figure 8 As shown, the wardrobe has vertical shelves dividing it into left and right sections. The right section is larger than the left and is used for hanging clothes. Multiple air guides are installed on the shelves, suspended vertically by latches that can rotate around the latches, allowing them to open freely to both sides. A humidity monitor is also installed on the shelves to detect the humidity inside the wardrobe. A duct interface is located on the left side panel for connecting to an air duct and thus to the air intake box of an air conditioner. Multiple air inlets are located on the right side panel, each with a one-way air guide that opens only inwards, allowing indoor air to enter the wardrobe. A humidity monitor is also located on the right side panel to detect the humidity of the air entering the wardrobe.

[0038] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the method of the present invention. The control method of the air conditioning linkage system may include steps S110 and S120.

[0039] In step S110, after the air conditioner turns on the clothes drying mode, the humidity of the air supply on the evaporator side is obtained and recorded as the first humidity; the humidity at the air outlet of the wardrobe is obtained and recorded as the second humidity; and the humidity at the air inlet of the wardrobe is obtained and recorded as the third humidity. The first humidity is the air humidity detected by the humidity monitor at the air conditioner's air guide plate, the second humidity is the air humidity detected by the humidity monitor on the wardrobe partition, and the third humidity is the air humidity detected by the humidity monitor on the right side panel of the wardrobe.

[0040] In step S120, the turbocharger is controlled to run at an initial speed, and after a preset time, the speed of the turbocharger and the operating status of the clothes drying mode are controlled according to the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity.

[0041] After the turbocharger starts operating, air from the left side of the wardrobe is drawn through the duct into the evaporator side of the air conditioner. This reduces the air pressure on the left side of the wardrobe. When the pressure difference between the left and right sides reaches a certain value, the air on the right side pushes open the air guide vanes on the partition, allowing it to flow into the left side and then into the air conditioner. Simultaneously, when the air pressure on the right side decreases, creating a pressure difference with the indoor air, the indoor air pushes open the air guide vanes on the right side of the wardrobe and enters the right side of the wardrobe. Thus, indoor air flows into the wardrobe, and air from the wardrobe flows into the air conditioner, which then circulates air into the room, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the clothes and drying them. At the same time, as the moisture evaporates, the humidity increases, and this humidified air is circulated into the room, humidifying the indoor air and solving the problem of decreased indoor humidity caused by prolonged air conditioner operation, thereby improving indoor comfort.

[0042] Optionally, a water tank can be installed inside the wardrobe. When indoor humidification is needed, the air circulation between the air conditioner, the room, and the wardrobe can be used to blow the water in the tank into water vapor and blow it into the room, thereby increasing the indoor humidity.

[0043] This solution works by activating a turbocharger after the air conditioner is switched on to dry clothes. This turbocharger draws air from the sealed wardrobe through ducts to the air conditioner's intake, creating a pressure difference between the wardrobe and the room. This high pressure difference forces indoor air to force its way into the wardrobe through the air vents, drying the clothes quickly. This solves the problem of not being able to dry clothes quickly while traveling. Simultaneously, the humid air returns to the air conditioner's intake through the duct connecting the wardrobe and the air conditioner, and is then returned to the room. This partially offsets the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner, helping to maintain room humidity and preventing the humidity drop caused by prolonged air conditioner operation from negatively impacting human comfort.

[0044] In some embodiments, the specific process of controlling the speed of the turbocharger and the operating state of the clothes drying mode based on the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity in step S120 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, it includes steps S210 to S230.

[0045] Step S210: Determine the magnitude relationship between the second humidity and the third humidity.

[0046] In step S220, if the second humidity is less than or equal to the third humidity, the turbocharger is controlled to stop running and the clothes drying mode is turned off.

[0047] Step S230: If the second humidity is greater than the third humidity, then the speed of the turbocharger is controlled according to the first humidity and the third humidity.

[0048] The third humidity level is the humidity of the air entering the wardrobe, which is the indoor air humidity. The second humidity level is the humidity of the air after it passes through the clothes inside the wardrobe. If the humidity remains unchanged or decreases after the air passes through the clothes (i.e., the second humidity level is less than or equal to the third humidity level), it means there is no moisture causing the humidity to rise, all the moisture in the clothes has evaporated and been expelled from the wardrobe, and the clothes are dry. In this case, the clothes drying mode can be exited, and the turbocharger speed should be reduced until it stops. If the second humidity level is greater than the third humidity level, it means that the moisture in the clothes has been carried out by the air, causing the air humidity to rise. This indicates that the clothes are not yet dry and the clothes drying mode needs to continue. Changing the turbocharger speed can regulate the air circulation speed between the air conditioner, the indoor environment, and the wardrobe, thereby changing the clothes drying efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments, the specific process of controlling the speed of the turbocharger based on the first humidity and the third humidity in step S230 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes steps S310 to S350.

[0050] Step S310: Determine whether the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is within a preset range.

[0051] Step S320: If the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is within a preset range, the turbocharger is controlled to maintain its current speed; and after a preset time, the speed of the turbocharger and the operating status of the clothes drying mode are controlled again according to the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity.

[0052] The higher the turbocharger's speed, the greater the pressure difference, the faster the airflow, and the more efficient it is at drying moisture from clothes. This means more moisture is drawn from the wardrobe and into the air conditioner's intake per unit time, thus diminishing the air conditioner's dehumidification effect and resulting in excessively high humidity in the supplied air. Both excessively high and low indoor humidity affect indoor comfort. Therefore, to effectively control indoor humidity, the difference between the air conditioner's supplied air humidity and the indoor humidity must be kept within a certain range.

[0053] Step S330: If the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is not within a preset range, determine whether the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is higher than the upper limit of the preset range or lower than the lower limit of the preset range.

[0054] Step S340: If the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is higher than the upper limit of the preset range, the speed of the turbocharger is reduced according to the preset speed adjustment amount; and after a preset time, the speed of the turbocharger and the operating status of the clothes drying mode are controlled again according to the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity.

[0055] Step S350: If the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is lower than the lower limit of a preset range, the speed of the turbocharger is increased according to a preset speed adjustment amount, and after a preset time, the speed of the turbocharger and the operating status of the clothes drying mode are controlled again according to the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity.

[0056] If the difference between the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner and the indoor humidity is too large or too small, it will result in excessively high or low indoor humidity, affecting the comfort of the indoor environment.

[0057] When the difference between the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner and the indoor humidity is too large, meaning the difference exceeds the upper limit of the preset range, it indicates that the air conditioner is unable to effectively control the air humidity, and the humidity of the air output by the air conditioner is too high. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the speed of the turbocharger, decrease the air circulation speed, and thus reduce the amount of air drawn from the air conditioner per unit time. This allows the air conditioner to effectively dehumidify the excessively humid air, keeping the humidity of the air supplied to the room within a suitable range, thus moisturizing while preventing the indoor humidity from becoming too high.

[0058] When the difference between the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner and the indoor humidity is too small—that is, below the lower limit of the preset range—it indicates that the humidity of the supplied air is close to the indoor humidity and cannot effectively humidify the room. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the speed of the turbocharger to increase the air circulation speed, allowing more moisture to be carried away from clothing, thus increasing the air humidity and improving the humidity of the supplied air, thereby humidifying the room. For example, if the preset range is [-A, A], when the difference between the supplied air humidity and the indoor humidity is within [-A, A], the current speed is maintained; when the difference is greater than A, the turbocharger speed is reduced by 50 rpm; when the difference is less than -A, the turbocharger speed is increased by 50 rpm.

[0059] This solution monitors humidity changes at the wardrobe's air guide vanes and the air conditioner's outlet to control the turbocharger's speed, thereby controlling the amount of humid air drawn in by the turbine. This keeps the room's humidity at a constant level, allowing the human body to maintain a natural and comfortable state for an extended period.

[0060] Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the control method for the air conditioning linkage system of the present invention, specifically the control of the clothes drying mode. Figure 10 As shown, the control method includes:

[0061] Step 1: When the air conditioner is running the clothes drying mode, control the turbocharger speed to N0, so that the air guides on the partition and the right side panel of the closed wardrobe are opened to form an airflow channel. Then proceed to Step 2.

[0062] Step 2: After the air conditioner runs for T hours in clothes drying mode, monitor the humidity of the air conditioner's supply air (H1), the humidity at the wardrobe shelf (H2), and the humidity at the air inlet on the right side panel of the wardrobe (H3). Determine if H2-H3≤0; if H2-H3≤0, exit clothes drying mode; if H2-H3>0, proceed to step 3.

[0063] Step 3: Determine if H1-H3∈[-A, +A]; if H1-H3∈[-A, +A], maintain the current speed of the turbocharger and return to step 2 to start execution; otherwise, execute step 4.

[0064] Step 4: Determine whether H1-H3 > +A or H1-H3 < -A. If H1-H3 > +A, reduce the turbocharger speed to N1 based on the current speed Nn, and then return to Step 2 to begin execution; if H1-H3 < -A, increase the turbocharger speed to N2 based on the current speed Nn, and then return to Step 2 to begin execution.

[0065] In some embodiments, a water collection tray is provided at the bottom of the wardrobe, a drain outlet is provided on the side of the water collection tray, and a baffle is provided at the drain outlet. Specifically, as shown... Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, a drip tray is installed at the bottom of the wardrobe. Water dripping from clothes and flowing down the wardrobe walls will eventually be collected in the drip tray. A water level monitor is installed inside the drip tray to detect the water level. Multiple drain outlets are located at the bottom of the back panel of the wardrobe to drain the water from the drip tray. Each drain outlet has a baffle that, in its natural state, covers the drain outlet, creating a sealed space. This baffle can only be opened by rotating it outwards.

[0066] In some embodiments, the control method further includes controlling the rotation direction of the turbocharger to drain the water from the wardrobe's drip tray. This process specifically includes steps S410 and S420.

[0067] Step S410: After the air conditioner turns on the clothes drying mode, obtain the water level in the water receiving tray.

[0068] Step S420: Control the rotation direction of the turbocharger according to the water level in the water receiving tray.

[0069] In some embodiments, step S420, the specific process of controlling the rotation direction of the turbocharger according to the water level in the water receiving pan, includes steps S510 to S540.

[0070] Step S510: Record the water level in the water receiving tray at the current moment as the first water level; record the water level in the water receiving tray before the preset time as the second water level.

[0071] Step S520: Determine the size relationship between the first water level and the second water level.

[0072] Step S530: If the first water level is less than or equal to the second water level, control the turbocharger to rotate in the reverse direction so that the air conditioner sends air to the wardrobe and pushes open the baffle at the drain outlet to drain water; then, when the water level in the water receiving tray is zero, control the turbocharger to rotate in the forward direction so that the wardrobe sends air to the air conditioner and closes the baffle at the drain outlet.

[0073] Step S540: If the first water level is greater than the second water level, then the rotation direction of the turbocharger is controlled again according to the water level in the water receiving pan.

[0074] In clothes drying mode, when the water level in the drip tray stops rising (i.e., the first water level is less than or equal to the second water level), it indicates that the clothes are no longer dripping. The turbocharger then reverses its rotation, causing the air conditioner to deliver air to the wardrobe through the ductwork. During this reverse rotation, high pressure is created within the wardrobe space, pushing open the baffle at the drain outlet of the drip tray and initiating drainage. Once all water has drained from the drip tray, the turbocharger resumes forward rotation and continues operating in clothes drying mode. If the first water level is greater than the second water level, it indicates that the clothes are still dripping and the water level in the drip tray is still rising. In this case, normal operation in clothes drying mode continues until the water level in the drip tray stops rising, at which point drainage begins.

[0075] Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the control method for the air conditioning linkage system of the present invention, which controls the drainage of the wardrobe water tray. Figure 11 As shown, the method includes:

[0076] Step 11: When the air conditioner is operating normally in the clothes drying mode, monitor the water level d in the water tray inside the wardrobe, and periodically check whether the current water level d is correct. n+1 ≤ The water level dn a certain period ago. If d n+1 If d > dn, then repeat step 11; if d n+1 If ≤dn, then proceed to step 12.

[0077] Step 12: Control the turbocharger to rotate in the reverse direction to push open the baffle of the drain outlet of the water tray inside the wardrobe to drain the water. After the water level in the water tray reaches 0, control the turbocharger to rotate in the forward direction to continue running the clothes drying mode, and return to step 11 to repeat the process.

[0078] The technical solution of this embodiment connects the turbocharger at the air inlet of the air conditioner's evaporator side to the air outlet of the wardrobe via a duct, allowing indoor air to enter the wardrobe through the wardrobe's air inlet. Simultaneously, the air conditioner has a clothes drying mode, which dries the clothes inside the wardrobe and uses the resulting moisture to humidify the room. After the air conditioner activates the clothes drying mode, the turbocharger operates at an initial speed. After a preset time, the turbocharger's speed is adjusted based on the humidity of the air supplied from the air conditioner's evaporator side, the humidity at the wardrobe's air inlet, and the humidity at the wardrobe's exhaust outlet, thus controlling the operation of the clothes drying mode. By discharging the moisture evaporated from the clothes inside the wardrobe into the room through the air conditioner, the indoor humidity is humidified, solving the problem of decreased air humidity caused by prolonged air conditioner operation and improving indoor comfort. Furthermore, by controlling the speed of the air conditioner's turbocharger, the degree of humidification is controlled, allowing for quick and effective drying of clothes and improving the user experience.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a control device for an air conditioning linkage system corresponding to a control method for an air conditioning linkage system is also provided. The air conditioning linkage system includes an air conditioner and a wardrobe; the air conditioner includes an evaporator side and a condenser side; a turbocharger is provided at the air inlet of the evaporator side; the wardrobe is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet; the air inlet of the wardrobe connects the wardrobe to the room, allowing indoor air to enter the wardrobe through the air inlet; the turbocharger is connected to the air outlet of the wardrobe via a duct; the air conditioner has a clothes drying mode, which can dry the clothes in the wardrobe and use the moisture generated during drying to humidify the room. This clothes drying mode can be activated in cooling mode, heating mode, or other modes, with better drying efficiency in heating mode.

[0080] The overall structure of the air conditioning linkage system, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner evaporator side located indoors is connected to the enclosed wardrobe via air ducts.

[0081] The specific structure of the evaporator side of the air conditioner, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the evaporator side includes a panel, a bottom shell, an evaporator, a turbocharger, an air inlet box, an air guide plate, and a baffle plate. A humidity monitor is installed at the air guide plate to detect the humidity of the supplied air. The air duct is specifically connected to the turbocharger on the evaporator side, and the turbocharger is connected to the air inlet box. A baffle plate separates the air inlet box from the air intake of the bottom shell. The baffle plate is suspended from the bottom shell by a pin and can rotate freely around the pin. When the air conditioner is not in clothes drying mode and the turbocharger is not activated, the baffle plate hangs down naturally, separating the air inlet box from the bottom shell, creating a sealed space within the air inlet box, and preventing air from entering the air inlet box and blowing onto the wardrobe. The evaporator side of the air conditioner also has other air inlets for drawing air from the room.

[0082] The specific structure of the wardrobe, such as Figure 8 As shown, the wardrobe has vertical shelves dividing it into left and right sections. The right section is larger than the left and is used for hanging clothes. Multiple air guides are installed on the shelves, suspended vertically by latches that can rotate around the latches, allowing them to open freely to both sides. A humidity monitor is also installed on the shelves to detect the humidity inside the wardrobe. A duct interface is located on the left side panel for connecting to an air duct and thus to the air intake box of an air conditioner. Multiple air inlets are located on the right side panel, each with a one-way air guide that opens only inwards, allowing indoor air to enter the wardrobe. A humidity monitor is also located on the right side panel to detect the humidity of the air entering the wardrobe.

[0083] See Figure 4 The diagram shows a structural schematic of an embodiment of the device of the present invention. The control device of the air conditioning linkage system may include: an acquisition unit 102 and a control unit 104.

[0084] The acquisition unit 102 is configured to, after the air conditioner activates the clothes drying mode, acquire the humidity of the air supply on the evaporator side, denoted as the first humidity; acquire the humidity at the air outlet of the wardrobe, denoted as the second humidity; and acquire the humidity at the air inlet of the wardrobe, denoted as the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of this acquisition unit 102 are described in step S110. The first humidity is the air humidity detected by the humidity monitor at the air conditioner's air guide plate; the second humidity is the air humidity detected by the humidity monitor on the wardrobe partition; and the third humidity is the air humidity detected by the humidity monitor on the right side panel of the wardrobe.

[0085] Control unit 104 is configured to control the turbocharger to operate at an initial speed, and after a preset time, control the speed of the turbocharger and the operating state of the clothes drying mode based on the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S120.

[0086] After the turbocharger starts operating, air from the left side of the wardrobe is drawn through the duct into the evaporator side of the air conditioner. This reduces the air pressure on the left side of the wardrobe. When the pressure difference between the left and right sides reaches a certain value, the air on the right side pushes open the air guide vanes on the partition, allowing it to flow into the left side and then into the air conditioner. Simultaneously, when the air pressure on the right side decreases, creating a pressure difference with the indoor air, the indoor air pushes open the air guide vanes on the right side of the wardrobe and enters the right side of the wardrobe. Thus, indoor air flows into the wardrobe, and air from the wardrobe flows into the air conditioner, which then circulates air into the room, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the clothes and drying them. At the same time, as the moisture evaporates, the humidity increases, and this humidified air is circulated into the room, humidifying the indoor air and solving the problem of decreased indoor humidity caused by prolonged air conditioner operation, thereby improving indoor comfort.

[0087] Optionally, a water tank can be installed inside the wardrobe. When indoor humidification is needed, the air circulation between the air conditioner, the room, and the wardrobe can be used to blow the water in the tank into water vapor and blow it into the room, thereby increasing the indoor humidity.

[0088] This solution works by activating a turbocharger after the air conditioner is switched on to dry clothes. This turbocharger draws air from the sealed wardrobe through ducts to the air conditioner's intake, creating a pressure difference between the wardrobe and the room. This high pressure difference forces indoor air to force its way into the wardrobe through the air vents, drying the clothes quickly. This solves the problem of not being able to dry clothes quickly while traveling. Simultaneously, the humid air returns to the air conditioner's intake through the duct connecting the wardrobe and the air conditioner, and is then returned to the room. This partially offsets the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner, helping to maintain room humidity and preventing the humidity drop caused by prolonged air conditioner operation from negatively impacting human comfort.

[0089] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 controls the speed of the turbocharger and the operating state of the clothes drying mode based on the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity, including:

[0090] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine the magnitude relationship between the second humidity and the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S210.

[0091] The control unit 104 is further configured to stop the turbocharger and turn off the clothes drying mode if the second humidity is less than or equal to the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S220.

[0092] The control unit 104 is further configured to control the speed of the turbocharger based on the first humidity and the third humidity if the second humidity is greater than the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S230.

[0093] The third humidity level is the humidity of the air entering the wardrobe, which is the indoor air humidity. The second humidity level is the humidity of the air after it passes through the clothes inside the wardrobe. If the humidity remains unchanged or decreases after the air passes through the clothes (i.e., the second humidity level is less than or equal to the third humidity level), it means there is no moisture causing the humidity to rise, all the moisture in the clothes has evaporated and been expelled from the wardrobe, and the clothes are dry. In this case, the clothes drying mode can be exited, and the turbocharger speed should be reduced until it stops. If the second humidity level is greater than the third humidity level, it means that the moisture in the clothes has been carried out by the air, causing the air humidity to rise. This indicates that the clothes are not yet dry and the clothes drying mode needs to continue. Changing the turbocharger speed can regulate the air circulation speed between the air conditioner, the indoor environment, and the wardrobe, thereby changing the clothes drying efficiency.

[0094] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 controls the speed of the turbocharger based on the first humidity and the third humidity, including:

[0095] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine whether the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is within a preset range. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S310.

[0096] The control unit 104 is further configured to, if the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is within a preset range, control the turbocharger to maintain its current speed; and after a preset time, re-control the turbocharger speed and the operating state of the clothes drying mode based on the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S320.

[0097] The higher the turbocharger's speed, the greater the pressure difference, the faster the airflow, and the more efficient it is at drying moisture from clothes. This means more moisture is drawn from the wardrobe and into the air conditioner's intake per unit time, thus diminishing the air conditioner's dehumidification effect and resulting in excessively high humidity in the supplied air. Both excessively high and low indoor humidity affect indoor comfort. Therefore, to effectively control indoor humidity, the difference between the air conditioner's supplied air humidity and the indoor humidity must be kept within a certain range.

[0098] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine whether the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is higher than the upper limit of the preset range or lower than the lower limit of the preset range if the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is not within a preset range. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S330.

[0099] The control unit 104 is further configured to, if the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is higher than the upper limit of a preset range, reduce the speed of the turbocharger according to a preset speed adjustment amount; and after a preset time, re-control the speed of the turbocharger and the operating state of the clothes drying mode based on the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S340.

[0100] The control unit 104 is further configured to, if the difference between the first humidity and the third humidity is lower than the lower limit of a preset range, increase the speed of the turbocharger according to a preset speed adjustment amount, and after a preset time, re-control the speed of the turbocharger and the operating state of the clothes drying mode based on the first humidity, the second humidity, and the third humidity. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S350.

[0101] If the difference between the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner and the indoor humidity is too large or too small, it will result in excessively high or low indoor humidity, affecting the comfort of the indoor environment.

[0102] When the difference between the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner and the indoor humidity is too large, meaning the difference exceeds the upper limit of the preset range, it indicates that the air conditioner is unable to effectively control the air humidity, and the humidity of the air output by the air conditioner is too high. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the speed of the turbocharger, decrease the air circulation speed, and thus reduce the amount of air drawn from the air conditioner per unit time. This allows the air conditioner to effectively dehumidify the excessively humid air, keeping the humidity of the air supplied to the room within a suitable range, thus moisturizing while preventing the indoor humidity from becoming too high.

[0103] When the difference between the humidity of the air supplied by the air conditioner and the indoor humidity is too small—that is, below the lower limit of the preset range—it indicates that the humidity of the supplied air is close to the indoor humidity and cannot effectively humidify the room. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the speed of the turbocharger to increase the air circulation speed, allowing more moisture to be carried away from clothing, thus increasing the air humidity and improving the humidity of the supplied air, thereby humidifying the room. For example, if the preset range is [-A, A], when the difference between the supplied air humidity and the indoor humidity is within [-A, A], the current speed is maintained; when the difference is greater than A, the turbocharger speed is reduced by 50 rpm; when the difference is less than -A, the turbocharger speed is increased by 50 rpm.

[0104] This solution monitors humidity changes at the wardrobe's air guide vanes and the air conditioner's outlet to control the turbocharger's speed, thereby controlling the amount of humid air drawn in by the turbine. This keeps the room's humidity at a constant level, allowing the human body to maintain a natural and comfortable state for an extended period.

[0105] Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the control method for the air conditioning linkage system of the present invention, specifically the control of the clothes drying mode. Figure 10 As shown, the control method includes:

[0106] Step 1: When the air conditioner is running the clothes drying mode, control the turbocharger speed to N0, so that the air guides on the partition and the right side panel of the closed wardrobe are opened to form an airflow channel. Then proceed to Step 2.

[0107] Step 2: After the air conditioner runs for T hours in clothes drying mode, monitor the humidity of the air conditioner's supply air (H1), the humidity at the wardrobe shelf (H2), and the humidity at the air inlet on the right side panel of the wardrobe (H3). Determine if H2-H3≤0; if H2-H3≤0, exit clothes drying mode; if H2-H3>0, proceed to step 3.

[0108] Step 3: Determine if H1-H3∈[-A, +A]; if H1-H3∈[-A, +A], maintain the current speed of the turbocharger and return to step 2 to start execution; otherwise, execute step 4.

[0109] Step 4: Determine whether H1-H3 > +A or H1-H3 < -A. If H1-H3 > +A, reduce the turbocharger speed to N1 based on the current speed Nn, and then return to Step 2 to begin execution; if H1-H3 < -A, increase the turbocharger speed to N2 based on the current speed Nn, and then return to Step 2 to begin execution.

[0110] In some embodiments, a water collection tray is provided at the bottom of the wardrobe, a drain outlet is provided on the side of the water collection tray, and a baffle is provided at the drain outlet. Specifically, as shown... Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, a drip tray is installed at the bottom of the wardrobe. Water dripping from clothes and flowing down the wardrobe walls will eventually be collected in the drip tray. A water level monitor is installed inside the drip tray to detect the water level. Multiple drain outlets are located at the bottom of the back panel of the wardrobe to drain the water from the drip tray. Each drain outlet has a baffle that, in its natural state, covers the drain outlet, creating a sealed space. This baffle can only be opened by rotating it outwards.

[0111] In some embodiments, the control device further includes:

[0112] The acquisition unit 102 is further configured to acquire the water level in the water tray after the air conditioner turns on the clothes drying mode. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S410.

[0113] The control unit 104 is also configured to control the rotation direction of the turbocharger based on the water level in the water receiving tray. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S420.

[0114] In some embodiments, the control unit 104 controls the rotation direction of the turbocharger based on the water level in the water receiving tray, including:

[0115] The control unit 104 is further configured to record the water level in the water receiving tray at the current moment as the first water level; and to record the water level in the water receiving tray before a preset time as the second water level. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S510.

[0116] The control unit 104 is further configured to determine the magnitude relationship between the first water level and the second water level. The specific functions and processing of the control unit 104 are described in step S520.

[0117] The control unit 104 is further configured to, if the first water level is less than or equal to the second water level, control the turbocharger to rotate in the reverse direction so that the air conditioner blows air to the wardrobe and pushes open the baffle at the drain outlet to drain water; then, when the water level in the drip tray is zero, control the turbocharger to rotate in the forward direction so that the wardrobe blows air to the air conditioner and closes the baffle at the drain outlet. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S530.

[0118] The control unit 104 is further configured to, if the first water level is greater than the second water level, re-control the rotation direction of the turbocharger according to the water level in the water receiving tray. The specific functions and processing of this control unit 104 are described in step S540.

[0119] In clothes drying mode, when the water level in the drip tray stops rising (i.e., the first water level is less than or equal to the second water level), it indicates that the clothes are no longer dripping. The turbocharger then reverses its rotation, causing the air conditioner to deliver air to the wardrobe through the ductwork. During this reverse rotation, high pressure is created within the wardrobe space, pushing open the baffle at the drain outlet of the drip tray and initiating drainage. Once all water has drained from the drip tray, the turbocharger resumes forward rotation and continues operating in clothes drying mode. If the first water level is greater than the second water level, it indicates that the clothes are still dripping and the water level in the drip tray is still rising. In this case, normal operation in clothes drying mode continues until the water level in the drip tray stops rising, at which point drainage begins.

[0120] Figure 11 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the control method for the air conditioning linkage system of the present invention, which controls the drainage of the wardrobe water tray. Figure 11 As shown, the method includes:

[0121] Step 11: When the air conditioner is operating normally in the clothes drying mode, monitor the water level d in the water tray inside the wardrobe, and periodically check whether the current water level d is correct. n+1 ≤ The water level dn a certain period ago. If d n+1 If d > dn, then repeat step 11; if d n+1 If ≤dn, then proceed to step 12.

[0122] Step 12: Control the turbocharger to rotate in the reverse direction to push open the baffle of the drain outlet of the water tray inside the wardrobe to drain the water. After the water level in the water tray reaches 0, control the turbocharger to rotate in the forward direction to continue running the clothes drying mode, and return to step 11 to repeat the process.
