Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of humidity regulation, and in particular to a humidity regulation system and a control method of the humidity regulation system. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, people's requirements for living environment are getting higher and higher. Among them, indoor temperature and humidity are important indicators of living environment. For example, when the indoor air conditioner is turned on in heating mode, the temperature of the air rises after passing through the heat exchange module, and the relative humidity of the air decreases, which makes the human body feel dry; for another example, when the indoor air conditioner is turned on in cooling mode, the temperature of the air decreases after passing through the heat exchange module, and the relative humidity of the air increases. When it reaches the dew point, condensation begins in the air pipeline, causing the temperature of the air blown into the room to increase, which in turn causes the relative humidity of the room to become lower than before, which also makes the human body feel dry. Therefore, a humidifier needs to be set up to humidify the indoor humidity.

[0003] Typically, the humidity control system also includes an air supply module, which is used to introduce air into multiple indoor spaces, and the ventilation volume of the multiple indoor spaces can be uniformly adjusted by adjusting the air volume of the ventilation module.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of providing a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present application and for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art. It cannot be considered that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art simply because they are described in the background technology section of the present application. Summary of the invention

[0005] The inventors have found that in the existing humidity control system, when the humidification equipment humidifies the air for a long time, it will cause condensation in the room and the air pipes, which will further lead to mold generated by condensation in the room and the air pipes, resulting in reduced user comfort.

[0006] Also, in the existing humidity control system, the ventilation volume of multiple indoor spaces is uniformly adjusted. However, the specific environmental conditions of different indoor spaces may be different. In addition, the users in different indoor spaces may have different requirements for the adjustment of the indoor ventilation volume. Therefore, it is necessary to independently adjust the ventilation volume of each indoor space.

[0007] Moreover, independently adjusting the ventilation volume of an indoor space may cause changes in the ventilation volume of other indoor spaces. For example, when the air duct corresponding to an indoor space is closed, the overall ventilation volume introduced by the air supply module remains unchanged, which will cause the ventilation volume of other indoor spaces to increase, thereby increasing the noise generated by ventilation in other indoor spaces and reducing user comfort. For another example, when the air duct corresponding to an indoor space is opened, the overall ventilation volume introduced by the air supply module remains unchanged, thereby causing the ventilation volume of other indoor spaces to decrease, thereby reducing the air quality of other indoor spaces and also reducing user comfort.

[0008] In order to solve at least one of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a humidity control system and a control method of the humidity control system, which can independently control the ventilation volume of air in different indoor spaces or different areas of indoor spaces, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of condensation indoors and in air ducts, reduce mold caused by condensation indoors and in air ducts, thereby improving the comfort of users and ensuring the health of users.

[0009] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a control method for a humidity control system is provided, wherein the humidity control system comprises: an air supply module, which is used to introduce air; a humidity control module, which is connected to the air supply module and is used to humidify the introduced air; and a plurality of air valves, which are respectively arranged in a plurality of air ducts connected to the air supply module or at the air outlets of the plurality of air ducts, and are used to control the amount of air introduced into each indoor space or each area of ​​the indoor space; the method comprises: when at least one air valve is closed, when a first preset condition is met, starting a drying operation.

[0010] According to the second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a humidity control system is provided, wherein the humidity control system includes: an air supply module, which is used to introduce air; a humidity control module, which is connected to the air supply module and is used to humidify the introduced air; an air pipeline, which connects the air supply module and the indoor space; a plurality of air valves, which are respectively arranged in a plurality of the air pipelines connected to the air supply module or at the air outlets of the plurality of the air pipelines, and are used to control the amount of air introduced into each indoor space or each area of ​​the indoor space; and a control module, which executes the control method described in the first aspect of the embodiment.

[0011] One of the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application is that: by providing multiple air valves in multiple air ducts connected to the air supply module or at the air outlets of multiple air ducts, the air valves can be used to independently control the ventilation volume input to different indoor spaces or different areas of the indoor space; and when at least one air valve is closed, when the first preset condition is met, the drying operation is started, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of condensation indoors and in the air ducts, and reduce the mold caused by condensation in the room and in the air ducts, thereby improving the user's comfort and ensuring the user's health.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] An embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a humidity control system.

[0024] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an implementation of the humidity control system of an embodiment of the present application.

[0025] exist Figure 1 In the figure, the solid lines between modules or devices represent refrigerant pipelines; in addition, the pipelines with arrows connecting modules or devices are air pipelines; in addition, the dotted lines between modules or devices represent communication connections, which can be wired connections or wireless connections.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the humidity control system 100 includes:

[0027] An air supply module 110, which is used to introduce air;

[0028] A humidity control module 120, which is in communication with the air supply module and is used to humidify the introduced air;

[0029] An air pipeline 140, which connects the air supply module and the indoor space;

[0030] A plurality of air valves 150, which are respectively arranged in a plurality of air pipes 140 connected to the air supply module 110 or at the air outlets of the plurality of air pipes 140, and are used to control the amount of air introduced into each indoor space or each area of ​​the indoor space;

[0031] The control module 130 executes the control method of the humidity adjustment system in the first embodiment.

[0032] In some embodiments, the air supply module 110 includes at least one of a fresh air processing device, a full heat exchange device (for example, with an internal circulation function or without an internal circulation function), and a ventilation device (for example, with an internal circulation function or without an internal circulation function), and the air supply module 110 has an air supply unit, and the air supply unit is, for example, a fan.

[0033] In some embodiments, when the air supply module 110 is in operation, the fan of the air supply module 110 operates intermittently or continuously.

[0034] In some embodiments, the humidity control module 120 is disposed at the downstream side of the air supply module 110 to humidify and adjust the humidity of the air passing through the air supply module 110 .

[0035] In some embodiments, the air outlet of the air supply module 110 is connected to the air inlet of the humidity control module 120. Thus, the flow rate of the humidified air entering the indoor space (or the area) can be independently controlled, thereby independently adjusting the air humidity of the indoor space (or the area).

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the “downstream side” refers to the downstream side in the air flow path, and the “upstream side” refers to the upstream side in the air flow path.

[0037] In some embodiments, the humidity control module 120 may be a dehumidification device, a humidification device, or a humidity control device having both humidification and dehumidification functions.

[0038] In some embodiments, the humidity control module 120 may perform humidification based on various humidification principles.

[0039] For example, the humidity control module performs humidification based on a wet film, or the humidity control module performs humidification based on waterless humidification, or the humidity control module performs humidification based on spray humidification, or the humidity control module performs humidification based on steam humidification.

[0040] In some embodiments, humidification methods based on different humidification principles may use different methods to stop the humidification function of the humidity control module 120 .

[0041] For example, for a wet film-based humidity control module, the humidification function of the humidity control module can be stopped by draining the humidity control module; or, for example, by switching the water path of the humidity control module to a bypass loop.

[0042] For another example, for a humidity control module based on steam humidification, the humidification function of the humidity control module can be stopped by turning off a water heating module in the humidity control module.

[0043] For another example, for a humidity control module based on spray humidification, the humidification function of the humidity control module can be stopped by closing a water inlet valve in the humidity control module.

[0044] For another example, for a humidity control module based on waterless humidification, the humidification function of the humidity control module may be stopped by stopping the rotation of a humidification wheel in the humidity control module.

[0045] In some embodiments, the humidity control system of the present application may control multiple indoor spaces, and the humidity control module 120 supplies air to the multiple indoor spaces through multiple air pipes 140. Figure 1In the figure, two indoor spaces (space 1 and space 2) are taken as an example for explanation, however, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to two spaces, and may also be more spaces and more air ducts are provided for air supply.

[0046] In some embodiments, the indoor space that is the object of the humidity control system includes multiple areas, and the humidity control module 120 supplies air to the multiple areas of the indoor space through multiple air ducts 140 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the air duct 140 is an air inlet duct, and each air duct 140 corresponds to a different indoor space, or corresponds to a different area of ​​the indoor space.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, an air duct 141 serving as a return air duct may also be provided to centrally return air to each indoor space or each area and discharge the air to the outdoors.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of air valves 150 are respectively disposed at the air outlets of the air ducts 140 to independently control the air flow output from the air outlets to the indoor spaces, that is, to independently control the ventilation volume.

[0050] In some embodiments, multiple air valves 150 may also be disposed at multiple air outlets of the humidity control module 120 to independently control the humidified air flow, which is not limited in the present application.

[0051] In some embodiments, the air valve 150 may include a baffle, and the rotation angle of the baffle is controlled by a motor to allow the air flow in the air duct to pass through, partially pass through, or prevent the air flow from passing through.

[0052] In some embodiments, the air flow output from each air outlet to each indoor space is independently controlled by adjusting the opening of the air valve.

[0053] In some embodiments, adjusting the opening of the air valve includes: the opening range of the air valve is 0 degrees to 90 degrees; wherein, when the opening of the air valve is 0 degrees, the air valve is in a fully open state; when the opening of the air valve is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, the air valve is in a partially open state; when the opening of the air valve is 90 degrees, the air valve is in a fully closed state.

[0054] For example, when the air valve is in a fully closed state, the air flow entering the indoor space corresponding to the air valve is blocked; when the air valve is in an open state, the air flow is allowed to smoothly enter the indoor space; and when the opening of the air valve is adjusted, the flow rate of the air flow entering the indoor space can be adjusted.

[0055] In some embodiments, the air supply module 110 controls the air volume by adjusting the opening of the air valve 150. For example, the fan in the air supply module 110 is controlled.

[0056] Therefore, by adjusting the opening of the air valve, the air exchange volume of the corresponding indoor space can be adjusted, which can further improve the accuracy of air exchange volume adjustment for different indoor spaces or different areas and improve user comfort.

[0057] In some embodiments, the air supply module 110 controls the air volume of the air supply module 110 according to the opening information of the air valve 150. For example, the fan in the air supply module 110 is controlled.

[0058] For example, when all air valves 150 are closed, the air supply module 110 stops the operation of the fan; for another example, when some air valves 150 are closed, the air supply module 110 lowers the air volume of the fan; for another example, when all air valves 150 are opened, the air supply module 110 increases the air volume of the fan.

[0059] In some embodiments, the air supply module 110 obtains the opening information of the air valve 150 from the humidity control module 120 , or may also obtain the opening information of the air valve 150 from the control module 130 .

[0060] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, an indoor unit 160 is respectively installed in each indoor space.

[0061] In some embodiments, the air valve 150 and the corresponding indoor unit 160 are in the same indoor space, or the air valve 150 and the corresponding indoor unit 160 process the air in the same indoor space (or the same area), that is, the air valve 150 and the corresponding indoor unit 160 have their air outlets in the same indoor space (or the same area).

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the indoor space (or the area of ​​the indoor space), the indoor unit 160, the air duct 140 and the air valve 150 correspond to each other. By controlling the air valve 150 corresponding to the indoor space, the flow rate of the humidified air entering the indoor space (or the area) can be independently controlled, so that the air humidity of the indoor space (or the area) can be independently adjusted.

[0063] In some embodiments, the air valve 150 is connected to the corresponding indoor unit 160 by at least one of a power supply connection and a communication connection, that is, the indoor unit 160 supplies power to the corresponding air valve 150, and / or the indoor unit 160 communicates with the corresponding air valve 150, for example, the indoor unit 160 sends a control instruction to the air valve 150, etc.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the indoor space (or the area of ​​the indoor space), the indoor unit 160, the air duct 140 and the air valve 150 are corresponding. By controlling the air valve 150 corresponding to the indoor space, the flow rate of the air entering the indoor space (or the area) can be independently controlled, so that the ventilation volume of the indoor space (or the area) can be independently adjusted.

[0065] In some embodiments, part of the indoor space or the indoor space may not be provided with the air valve 150, that is, some of the indoor units 160 are not provided with the corresponding air valve 150.

[0066] exist Figure 1 In the humidity control system shown, the plurality of air valves 150 are respectively arranged at the air outlets of the plurality of air pipes 140, but the air valves 150 may also be arranged at other positions on the downstream side of the ventilation module 110, for example, the plurality of air valves 150 may be respectively arranged in the plurality of air pipes 140. Figure 1 In the humidity control system 100 shown, multiple air valves 150 can also be respectively set at multiple air outlets of the ventilation module 110, and multiple air valves 150 can also be respectively set at multiple air outlets of the humidity control module 120, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

[0067] In some embodiments, humidity conditioning system 100 includes an air conditioning system.

[0068] The air conditioning system may be a commercial air conditioning system or a domestic air conditioning system.

[0069] In some embodiments, the air conditioning system may include at least one group of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit connected to each group of outdoor units. That is, the air conditioning system may include one or more groups of outdoor units, each group of outdoor units includes at least one outdoor unit; for a group of outdoor units, the group of outdoor units is connected to at least one indoor unit.

[0070] For example, an air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit.

[0071] For example, the air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit and at least two indoor units connected to the outdoor unit.

[0072] For example, the air conditioning system includes at least two outdoor units and at least two indoor units connected to the at least two outdoor units.

[0073] For example, a group of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit connected to the group of outdoor units constitute a refrigerant system, or multiple groups of outdoor units and at least one indoor unit respectively connected to the multiple groups of outdoor units constitute multiple refrigerant systems. Thus, the air-conditioning system may include one refrigerant system or multiple refrigerant systems.

[0074] In some embodiments, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit may be air-conditioning equipment of various models, types, forms, and capacities.

[0075] For example, the indoor unit may be in the form of four-sided outlet, two-sided outlet, duct unit, ground outlet or skirting outlet; the outdoor unit may be in the form of single fan top outlet, double fan top outlet, single fan front outlet or double fan front outlet.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, for example, one outdoor unit 170 is connected to a plurality of indoor units 160 via a refrigerant pipe 180 , and the refrigerant pipe 180 is also connected to the humidity control module 120 .

[0077] For example, the humidity control module 120 has a heat exchange module, and the refrigerant pipeline 180 is connected to the heat exchange module of the humidity control module 120. The heat exchange module is located on the upstream side of the humidity control module, and is used to adjust the temperature of the introduced air, such as heating it, and input the heated air into the humidity control module, so that the humidification efficiency of the humidity control module can be improved.

[0078] In some embodiments, the control module 130 is connected to the indoor unit 160 via a wired connection; in addition, each indoor unit 160, between the indoor unit 160 and the outdoor unit 170, between the humidity control module 120 and the indoor unit 160, and between the air supply module 110 and the humidity control module 120 can all be connected via a wired connection.

[0079] In some embodiments, the control module 130 sends the air valve control instruction to the indoor unit 160 corresponding to the air valve 150 , and the indoor unit 160 sends the received air valve control instruction to the air valve 150 corresponding to the indoor unit 160 .

[0080] In some embodiments, at least one air valve 150 adjusts the opening of the at least one air valve 150 according to an air valve control instruction for the at least one air valve 150 .

[0081] For example, the control module 130 sends the air valve control instruction to the indoor unit 160 corresponding to the air valve 150, and the indoor unit 160 sends the received air valve control instruction to the air valve 150 corresponding to the indoor unit 160. The air valve 150 adjusts the opening and other actions according to the air valve control instruction.

[0082] In some embodiments, the air valve control instruction includes identification information of the air valve and may also include identification information of the indoor unit corresponding to the air valve.

[0083] In some embodiments, the control module 130 includes a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program; and the processor implements the control method of the embodiment of the present application when executing the computer program.

[0084] In some embodiments, the humidity adjustment system 100 further includes: a detection module 190, which detects the air humidity in the air pipeline.

[0085] In some embodiments, the indoor humidity data and the indoor temperature data may be acquired through the detection module 190 , and the detection module 190 may include at least one of a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor.

[0086] For example, the detection module 190 includes at least one of a first sensor set in the indoor space, a second sensor set in the indoor unit remote control, and a third sensor set at the indoor return air outlet. The first sensor is a humidity sensor, the second sensor is a temperature sensor, and the third sensor includes a humidity sensor and a temperature sensor.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first sensor includes multiple humidity sensors in different indoor spaces or in different areas of the same indoor space. In this way, the accuracy of humidity data can be improved, the accuracy of humidity adjustment can be further improved, and the comfort of users can be improved.

[0088] In some embodiments, the detection module 190 further includes a fourth sensor disposed at the output side of the humidity control module 120 , and the fourth sensor is a humidity sensor.

[0089] In some embodiments, the indoor humidity, ie, the air humidity in the corresponding air duct, is determined using the detection value of at least one of the first sensor, the second sensor, the third sensor, and the fourth sensor.

[0090] In some embodiments, when determining the indoor humidity, the priority order of the humidity detection values ​​used is from high to low: the first humidity detection value obtained by the first sensor, the second humidity detection value obtained by the second sensor and the third sensor, and the third humidity detection value obtained by the fourth sensor. In this way, the accuracy of humidity data can be improved, the accuracy of humidity adjustment can be further improved, and the comfort of users can be improved.

[0091] For example, the first humidity detection value is the indoor humidity directly measured by the first sensor; the second humidity detection value is calculated based on the humidity detection value and temperature detection value measured by the third sensor and the humidity detection value measured by the second sensor; the third humidity detection value is the indoor humidity directly measured by the fourth sensor. In this way, the accuracy of humidity data can be further improved, the accuracy of humidity adjustment can be further improved, and the comfort of users can be further improved.

[0092] In some embodiments, when the first sensor includes multiple sensors, the indoor humidity is determined by using the maximum value of the detection values ​​of the multiple sensors, or the minimum value of the detection values ​​of the multiple sensors, or the average value of the detection values ​​of the multiple sensors. In this way, humidity data can be obtained quickly to improve user comfort.

[0093] According to the above humidity control system 100, the process of the control method of the humidity control system is described in detail below:

[0094] Figure 2 is a block diagram of a control method for a humidity control system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0095] Step 201: When at least one air valve is closed and a first preset condition is met, a drying operation is started.

[0096] Therefore, by setting up multiple air valves in multiple air ducts connected to the air supply module or at the air outlets of multiple air ducts, the air valves can be used to independently control the ventilation volume input to different indoor spaces or different areas of the indoor space; and when at least one air valve is closed, when the first preset condition is met, the drying operation is started, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of condensation indoors and in the air ducts, and reduce the mold caused by condensation in the room and in the air ducts, thereby improving the user's comfort and ensuring the user's health.

[0097] Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a specific method for implementing step 201 in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0098] Step 301: for a damper, determine whether the damper is closed. If it is determined to be "yes", proceed to step 302; if it is determined to be "no", return;

[0099] Step 302: Determine whether the first preset condition is met; if the determination is "yes", proceed to step 303; if the determination is "no", return;

[0100] Step 303: Start drying operation and enter step 202.

[0101] For example, Figure 3 The method shown can be executed separately for each air valve.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first preset condition includes: receiving an instruction to start the drying operation, or condensation exists in the air duct corresponding to the closed air valve; or a first preset time has passed after the operation of the humidity control module is started.

[0103] For example, receiving the instruction to start drying operation includes: a user sends the instruction to start drying operation through a device controller, for example, the control device controller can be various controllers. For example, a wired controller, a remote controller, a centralized controller, an intelligent controller, etc. For example, through Figure 1 The control module 130 is shown instructing the drying operation to begin.

[0104] For example, the existence of condensation in the air duct corresponding to the closed air valve includes: condensation already exists in the air duct, or the temperature in the air duct is lower than the dew point temperature and lasts for 10 minutes. For example, the dew point temperature refers to the temperature at which the air is cooled to saturation while maintaining the water vapor content in the air and the air pressure. For example, the dew point temperature = 0.961*TH4+0.238*RH4-22.02, wherein TH4 is the outlet temperature of the humidifier device, and RH4 is the outlet humidity of the humidifier device. For example, the outlet temperature and the outlet humidity of the humidifier device can be measured by a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, and the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0105] For example, the first preset time after the humidity control module is turned on includes: the first preset time is 4 hours. For example, the humidity control system 100 starts the drying operation after the humidity control module 120 turns on the humidification function and 4 hours have passed.

[0106] In some embodiments, the drying operation includes at least one of the following operations: stopping the humidification function of the humidity control module; opening at least one air valve including the closed air valve; and starting the operation of the heat exchange module in the humidity control module.

[0107] In some embodiments, stopping the humidification function of the humidification control module includes: stopping the humidification function of the humidification control module by draining the humidification control module; or, stopping the humidification function of the humidification control module by switching the water circuit of the humidification control module to a bypass circuit; or, stopping the humidification function of the humidification control module by turning off a water heating module in the humidification control module; or, stopping the humidification function of the humidification control module by closing a water inlet valve in the humidification control module.

[0108] For example, the humidity control module is based on a wet film for humidification. The wet film water inflow time includes, for example, 8 minutes, wherein the 8 minutes include 1 to 2 minutes of water inflow to the water tank of the humidity control module; the wet film drainage time includes, for example, 3 minutes. Therefore, the humidification function of the humidity control module is stopped after the wet film drainage is completed.

[0109] In some embodiments, opening at least one of the air valves including the closed air valves includes: opening all the air valves; or, opening at least one of the closed air valves; or, opening an air valve other than the air valve corresponding to the indoor space where the humidity needs to be maintained.

[0110] For example, opening all air valves includes: opening the air valves 150 corresponding to all air pipelines 140 in the humidity control system 100;

[0111] For example, Figure 1 The humidity control system 100 shown, when the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 1 is closed and the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 2 is closed, and when condensation exists in the air pipeline 140 corresponding to the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 1, all the air valves are opened, that is, the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 1 and the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 2 are opened. Thus, the efficiency of the drying operation can be improved.

[0112] For example, opening and closing the at least one air valve includes: when the at least one air valve is closed and the first preset condition is met, the humidity conditioning system 100 opens the at least one air valve and keeps the opening states of other air valves unchanged;

[0113] For example, Figure 1 The humidity control system 100 shown, when the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 1 is closed, the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 2 is closed, and when condensation occurs in the air pipeline 140 corresponding to the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 1, only the air valve 150 corresponding to the space 1 is opened. Thus, the drying operation can be performed only for one air valve, the control accuracy is improved, and the user's comfort is further improved.

[0114] For example, opening an air valve other than the air valve corresponding to the indoor space where the humidity needs to be maintained includes: when at least one air valve is closed and a first preset condition is met, the humidity control system 100 opens the air valve other than the air valve corresponding to the indoor space where the humidity needs to be maintained, and keeps the opening state of the air valve corresponding to the indoor space where the humidity needs to be maintained unchanged.

[0115] For example, Figure 1In the humidity control system 100 shown, when the air valve 150 corresponding to space 1 is closed, the air valve 150 corresponding to space 2 is closed, and when condensation occurs in the air duct 140 corresponding to the air valve 150 corresponding to space 1, and space 2 is an indoor space that needs to maintain humidity, only the air valve 150 corresponding to space 1 is opened and the air valve 150 corresponding to space 2 is kept closed. In this way, drying operation can be performed only for some air valves, thereby improving the control accuracy and the efficiency of drying operation, and further improving the comfort of users.

[0116] In some embodiments, starting the operation of the heat exchange module in the humidity control module includes: starting the heat exchange module in the humidity control module 120 to increase the temperature in the humidity control system 100. Thus, the efficiency of the drying operation is further improved.

[0117] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the method also includes:

[0118] Step 202: draining the humidity control module while starting the drying operation.

[0119] For example, the wet film of the humidity control module starts draining water at the same time as the drying operation starts, and the drainage is completed after, for example, 3 minutes have passed. Thus, the efficiency of the drying operation can be further improved.

[0120] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the method also includes:

[0121] Step 203: When the second preset condition is met, exit the drying operation.

[0122] In this way, the drying operation can be exited and the humidification function mode can be entered when the second preset condition is met, thereby further improving the user's comfort.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second preset condition includes: receiving an instruction to stop the drying adjustment; or, a second preset time has passed after the humidification function of the humidity control module is stopped; or, a third preset time has passed after the drying operation is started.

[0124] For example, receiving the instruction to stop the drying operation includes: the user sends the instruction to stop the drying operation through the device controller, for example, the control device controller can be various controllers. For example, a wire controller, a remote controller, a centralized controller, an intelligent controller, etc. For example, through Figure 1 The control module 130 is shown instructing to stop the drying operation.

[0125] For example, the second preset time after the humidification function of the humidity control module stops includes: the second preset time includes 30 minutes, for example, 30 minutes after the wet film drainage of the humidity control module is completed, the drying operation is exited.

[0126] For example, the third preset time elapses after the start of the drying operation includes: the third preset time is 15 minutes, for example, after the drying operation has elapsed for 15 minutes, the drying operation is exited.

[0127] As a result, the drying operation can be exited and the humidification operation mode can be entered when the second preset condition is met, thereby further improving the user's comfort.

[0128] The process of drying operation will be described below with reference to specific drawings.

[0129] Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of a specific implementation of the control method of the humidity control system of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0130] Step 401: for a damper, determine whether the damper is closed. If it is determined to be "yes", proceed to step 402; if it is determined to be "no", return;

[0131] Step 402: Determine whether the first preset condition is met, for example, determine whether condensation exists in the air pipeline corresponding to the closed air valve; if the judgment is "yes", proceed to step 403; if the judgment is "no", return;

[0132] Step 403: draining the humidity control module while starting the drying operation, for example, opening the closed air valve and draining the humidity control module;

[0133] Step 404: Determine whether the second preset condition is met, for example, whether 15 minutes have passed since the start of the drying operation; if the determination is "yes", proceed to step 405; if the determination is "no", return;

[0134] Step 405: Exit drying operation.
