[0037] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the following environment: the bathroom is divided into at least a first area 10 and a second area 20, and the first area and the second area are physically separated by structural members such as a glass door, a shower curtain or a brick wall.

[0038] The air conditioner is a bathroom air conditioner, comprising a housing 100 , wherein the housing is provided with a containing space and is provided with a first air port 101 , a second air port 102 and an exhaust port 103 communicating with the containing space.

[0039] The air duct switching device 200 is disposed in the accommodating space. The air duct switching device connects the first air port 101 and the exhaust port 103 in a first state, and connects the first air port 101 and the second air port 102 in a second state.

[0040] When the air duct switching device is in the first state, it defines a first air duct in the accommodating space together with the housing of the air conditioner. At this time, the first area of ​​the bathroom is connected to the outdoor environment through the first air duct of the air conditioner.

[0041] When the air duct switching device is in the second state, it defines a second air duct in the accommodating space together with the shell of the air conditioner. At this time, the first area of ​​the bathroom is connected to the second area through the second air duct of the air conditioner.

[0042] Exemplarily, the first area is the washing area of ​​the bathroom, and the second area is the dressing area of ​​the bathroom. Users are more active in the washing area, and the following is a further introduction to the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure using the washing area as the first area. It is understandable that when it comes to humidity control of the dressing area, the dressing area, shower area, and toilet area can all be used as the first area in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0043] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, which is applied to the above-mentioned air conditioner, and the method includes:

[0044] S01: The air conditioner obtains a first humidity of a first area.

[0045] S02: When the first humidity is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the air conditioner controls the air duct switching device to switch to a first state to dehumidify the first area.

[0046] S03, when the first humidity is greater than or equal to the second threshold and less than the first threshold, the air conditioner controls the air duct switching device to switch to the second state to dehumidify the first area.

[0047] In step S01, in which the air conditioner obtains the first humidity of the first area, the air conditioner may be provided with a humidity sensor to detect the first humidity of the first area, or may receive the first humidity of the first area through a remote server.

[0048] When the first humidity is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the humidity is considered to be extremely high. This may be because the user uses more hot water and steam evaporates, and the humidity in the first area needs to be reduced as soon as possible. At this time, the air conditioner controls the air duct switching device to connect the first air outlet and the exhaust outlet to form a first air duct. When the fan of the air conditioner rotates, a negative pressure is formed in the first area, driving the air in the first area to be discharged to the outdoor environment through the first air duct. In this way, the humidity in the first area can be quickly reduced to avoid high humidity wetting clothes or blocking vision.

[0049] When the first humidity is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, and less than the first threshold value, the humidity is considered to be high. At this time, the humidity may be high due to water evaporation or hot and humid indoor environment, and the humidity in the first area needs to be reduced. At this time, the air conditioner controls the air duct switching device to connect the first air outlet and the second air outlet to form a second air duct. When the fan of the air conditioner rotates, it drives the air in the first area and the second area to circulate. The user's perceived humidity can be reduced when the air circulates, and the humidity decreases after the air passes through the air conditioner. As the air conditioner runs, the humidity in the first area is gradually reduced.

[0050] It should be noted that when the first air outlet is connected to the exhaust outlet, the high-humidity air in the first area is exhausted, and the air outside the bathroom, such as the indoor corridor, living room or bedroom, will be replenished into the first area of ​​the bathroom. The humidity in the first area is reduced and is infinitely close to the humidity in other locations such as the indoor corridor, living room or bedroom, but will not be lower than the humidity in adjacent indoor areas such as the indoor corridor, living room or bedroom. In other words, the humidity in the first area cannot be further reduced.

[0051] When the first air outlet is connected to the second air outlet, an air circulation loop is formed between the first area and the second area, and the moisture contained in the circulating air is captured when it flows through the air conditioner, and the humidity is gradually reduced. As the air conditioner runs, the humidity in the first area of ​​the bathroom is continuously reduced and can be lower than the humidity in adjacent indoor areas such as the indoor corridor, living room or bedroom.

[0052] If the first air outlet and the second air outlet are connected under extremely high humidity, the dehumidification speed for the first area depends on the dehumidification capacity of the air conditioner. The water content in the air is high and the dehumidification capacity of the air conditioner is limited. For example, when the air conditioner dehumidifies through the adsorption module, the air with high water content will quickly saturate the dehumidification module. When the air conditioner dehumidifies through the refrigeration module, the water vapor in the air adheres to the surface of the refrigeration module and releases a large amount of condensation latent heat during the condensation process, which will greatly consume the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration module.

[0053] Therefore, when the humidity is extremely high, the first air outlet and the exhaust outlet are connected for dehumidification, and when the humidity is relatively high, the first air outlet and the second air duct are connected for circulating dehumidification. This can quickly reduce the humidity in the first area when the humidity is extremely high, and continuously reduce the humidity in the first area when the humidity is relatively high, thereby achieving precise control of the humidity.

[0054] By using the method for controlling an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air conditioner is provided with a first air outlet for the first area and a second air outlet corresponding to the second area, so that independent temperature and humidity control can be achieved for different areas, thereby improving the temperature and humidity control effect for the bathroom; when the humidity is very high, connecting the first air outlet and the exhaust outlet for dehumidification can quickly reduce the humidity in the first area; when the humidity is relatively high, connecting the first air outlet and the second air outlet, and dehumidifying by circulating air between the first area and the second area, is conducive to precise humidity control of the first area.

[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a cooling module 310 and a heating module 320, and the cooling module and the heating module are arranged in the second air duct. Step S03 controls the air duct switching device to switch to the second state to dehumidify the first area when the first humidity is greater than or equal to the second threshold value and less than the first threshold value, including:

[0056] S31, the air conditioner acquires a first temperature of the first area when the first humidity is greater than or equal to the second threshold and less than the first threshold.

[0057] S32, when the first temperature meets the temperature condition, the air conditioner controls the air duct switching device to switch to the second state, and controls the fan to rotate in the first direction so that the air in the first area flows to the second area through the cooling module and the heating module of the air conditioner.

[0058] In step S31, when the air conditioner obtains the first temperature of the first area when the first humidity is greater than or equal to the second threshold and less than the first threshold, the air conditioner can set a temperature sensor to detect the first temperature of the first area, or receive the first temperature of the first area through a remote server.

[0059] When the first temperature of the first area meets the temperature condition, it is considered that the temperature of the first area is suitable, and only the first area needs to be dehumidified, and the first area does not need to be cooled or heated. At this time, the fan rotates in the first direction, that is, the air is driven to flow from the first air outlet to the second air outlet inside the air conditioner. When the fan rotates, the air conditioner sucks the air in the first area through the first air outlet, and the first area is negative pressure. The moisture carried by the air sucked into the air conditioner when passing through the refrigeration module is captured, so that the humidity of the air is reduced, and the temperature of the air is also reduced after heat exchange with the refrigeration module. The temperature of the air flowing through the heating module is increased and enters the second area through the second air outlet, and the second area is positive pressure. Under the action of the positive and negative pressure differences, the dry air entering the second area returns to the first area through the gap at the partition. Through such air circulation, the humidity of the first area and the second area is continuously reduced. And in the process of reducing the humidity, the temperature of the first area can be maintained in a comfortable temperature range.

[0060] Compared with the air from the second area flowing to the first area, since the air from the first area is filled in through the gaps in the partition and other locations, the air is not blown directly from the air conditioner to the first area. Therefore, even if the temperature inside the air conditioner fluctuates to a certain extent, it will not affect the temperature of the first area, which can improve the temperature stability of the first area. In addition, the air is sucked into the air conditioner from the first area, which can also reduce the wind feeling in the first area and avoid air blowing out of the air conditioner causing discomfort to the user. In addition, the air in the first area is sucked into the air conditioner, which can also prevent water droplets from being blown out from the first air outlet of the air conditioner and affecting the comfort of the user.

[0061] Optionally, combined Figure 4 As shown, step S03, when the first humidity is greater than or equal to the second threshold value and less than the first threshold value, the air conditioner controls the air duct switching device to switch to the second state to dehumidify the first area, and also includes:

[0062] S33, when the first temperature does not satisfy the temperature condition, the air conditioner controls the fan to rotate in the second direction so that the air in the second area flows in the first direction through the air conditioner.

[0063] If the first temperature does not meet the temperature condition, it means that the temperature of the first area is too high or too low, and temperature control is required while controlling the humidity of the first area. At this time, the fan is controlled to rotate in the second direction, so as to blow air to the first area to quickly adjust the temperature of the first area. Specifically, when the fan rotates, the air in the second area enters the air conditioner, and then the humidity is reduced after passing through the heating device and the refrigeration device, and the temperature is increased or decreased according to the cooling and heating requirements. Taking the need to cool the first area as an example, the heating module is turned off or runs at a lower power, and the temperature of the air is reduced after passing through the heating module and the refrigeration module. Cold air is blown out from the first air outlet to the first area. The air with lower temperature and lower humidity blows to the first area, reducing the temperature and humidity of the first area, thereby realizing the temperature and humidity control of the first area. The air in the second area enters the air conditioner, and the second area is a negative pressure environment; the first area is supplemented with air by the air conditioner, and the first area is a positive pressure environment. Under the action of the positive and negative pressure difference, the air in the first area is supplemented into the second area through the gap at the partition, so that the air can circulate. Through such a circulation flow, the temperature of the first area is controlled while the humidity of the first area is reduced.

[0064] With such a configuration, the temperature of the first area can be controlled while the humidity of the first area is controlled.

[0065] Optionally, the first temperature satisfying the temperature condition includes the first temperature being greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold and less than or equal to a second temperature threshold.

[0066] Exemplarily, the first temperature threshold is 23 degrees Celsius, and the second temperature threshold is 26 degrees Celsius. When the first temperature is between 23 degrees Celsius and 26 degrees Celsius, the temperature is relatively comfortable. At this time, only the first area needs to be dehumidified. When the first temperature is greater than 26 degrees Celsius, the temperature is relatively high, and the temperature of the first area needs to be lowered while dehumidifying the first area. When the first temperature is less than 23 degrees Celsius, the temperature is relatively low, and the temperature of the first area needs to be increased while dehumidifying the first area. Adopting such a method is conducive to the air conditioner to perform accurate temperature control while performing humidity control, thereby improving the user experience.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, step S03, when the first humidity is greater than or equal to the second threshold value and less than the first threshold value, the air conditioner controls the air duct switching device to switch to the second state to dehumidify the first area, and also includes:

[0068] S34. When the first temperature does not satisfy the temperature condition, the air conditioner obtains a temperature difference between the first temperature and the set temperature.

[0069] S35: The air conditioner controls the operation of the heating module and the cooling module according to the temperature difference.

[0070] In step S34, when the first temperature does not satisfy the temperature condition, the air conditioner obtains the temperature difference between the first temperature and the set temperature. The temperature difference between the first temperature and the set temperature can be calculated by the air conditioner or obtained by connecting to a server.

[0071] If the temperature difference between the first temperature and the set temperature is positive, the actual temperature is higher than the set temperature, and it is considered that the temperature of the first area needs to be lowered. If the temperature difference between the first temperature and the set temperature is negative, the actual temperature is lower than the set temperature, and it is considered that the temperature of the first area needs to be increased. By controlling the operation of the heating module and the heating module according to the temperature difference, the cooling or heating of the air conditioner as a whole can be achieved through the difference between the cooling capacity and the heating capacity, thereby accurately adjusting the temperature of the first area. With such a setting, the air conditioner can more accurately control the temperature of the first area while controlling the humidity of the first area, which is convenient for users.

[0072] Optionally, in step S35, the air conditioner controls the operation of the heating module and the cooling module according to the temperature difference, including: when the temperature difference is positive, the air conditioner controls the operation of the cooling module, and the cooling power of the cooling module is greater than the heating power of the heating module. When the temperature difference is positive, the temperature of the first area needs to be lowered. At this time, the cooling power of the cooling module is greater than the heating power of the heating module. The cooling power and heating power refer to the heat output or cooling capacity per unit time. If the cooling power is greater than the heating power, the temperature of the air flowing through the air conditioner is lowered, and the temperature of the first area can be lowered after being blown to the first area. It should be noted that the heating power can be zero, that is, the heating module is not turned on. This can increase the cooling speed for the first area.

[0073] Optionally, step S35 in which the air conditioner controls the operation of the heating module and the cooling module according to the temperature difference also includes: when the temperature difference is negative, the air conditioner controls the cooling module to operate, and the cooling power of the cooling module is less than the heating power of the heating module.

[0074] When the temperature difference is negative, the temperature of the first area needs to be increased. At this time, the cooling power of the cooling module is less than the heating power of the heating module. The temperature of the air flowing through the air conditioner is increased, and after being blown to the first area, the temperature of the first area can be increased. It should be noted that in order to achieve dehumidification of the first area, the cooling module needs to be kept turned on, and the heating module is operated at a higher power.

[0075] By adopting such a method, the temperature control of the first area can be better achieved while ensuring the dehumidification effect of the first area.
