[0047] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device provided by the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0048] 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 with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar users and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0050] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the air conditioning correlation control method described in this invention. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a flowchart of the air conditioning correlation control method provided by the present invention. The specific implementation process includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 101: Upon detecting the trigger signal for the bathroom heater to be turned on and the interconnection mode control signal between the shower head and the preset air conditioner, acquire the current ambient temperature in the bathroom collected by the preset first temperature sensor in the bathroom, and the current actual water temperature of the water heater collected by the preset second temperature sensor in the water heater.

[0052] Specifically, when a user turns on the bathroom heater, corresponding trigger information is generated to establish an interconnection between the showerhead and a pre-set air conditioner, entering the interconnection module. At this point, the current ambient temperature in the bathroom, collected by a pre-set first temperature sensor, and the current actual water temperature of the water heater, collected by a pre-set second temperature sensor, can be obtained. The first temperature sensor can be a temperature sensor located at a specific location in the bathroom, and the second temperature sensor can be a temperature sensor located at the water heater or its outlet. Both the first and second temperature sensors can be equipped with corresponding data communication modules to transmit the collected temperature data (such as the current ambient temperature and the current actual water temperature in the bathroom) to the air conditioner.

[0053] Step 102: Based on the current ambient temperature, the current actual water temperature, and the preset target temperature value, trigger the air conditioner to control the shower head to turn on or off.

[0054] Specifically, the target temperature value includes a target ambient temperature value and a target water temperature value. The target temperature value can be set based on pre-acquired historical data of the bathroom to be monitored, or it can be set based on user input. The specific implementation process of triggering the air conditioner to control the showerhead to turn on or off based on the current ambient temperature, the current actual water temperature, and the preset target temperature value includes: comparing and analyzing the current ambient temperature with the target ambient temperature value to obtain a first comparison result; wherein the first comparison result is used to represent the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature value; comparing and analyzing the current actual water temperature with the target water temperature value to obtain a second comparison result; wherein the second comparison result is used to represent the temperature difference between the current actual water temperature and the target water temperature value; and triggering the air conditioner to control the showerhead to turn on or off based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result. For example: Through comparison, if the first comparison result includes the current ambient temperature being lower than the target ambient temperature value, and the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature value reaches or exceeds a first temperature difference threshold; if the second comparison result includes the current actual water temperature being lower than the target water temperature value, and the temperature difference between the current actual water temperature and the target water temperature value reaches or exceeds a second temperature difference threshold; then the air conditioner is triggered to control the shower head to turn off. If the first comparison result includes the current ambient temperature being lower than the target ambient temperature value, but the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature value does not exceed the first temperature difference threshold; if the second comparison result includes the current actual water temperature being lower than the target water temperature value, but the temperature difference between the current actual water temperature and the target water temperature value does not exceed the second temperature difference threshold; then the air conditioner is triggered to control the shower head to turn on. The control system of the air conditioner may include a processing module for analyzing water temperature data and a communication module for data communication with sensors or the shower head. The shower head may include a control execution module, which receives control commands from the communication module in the air conditioner and executes operations to control the shower head to turn on or off.

[0055] That is, when the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature reaches or exceeds a preset first temperature difference threshold, and when the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature reaches or exceeds a preset second temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner controls the shower to turn off; or, when the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature is less than the first temperature difference threshold, and when the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature is less than the second temperature difference threshold, the air conditioner controls the shower to turn on.

[0056] After the air conditioner is triggered to control the shower to turn on or off based on the current ambient temperature, the current actual water temperature, and the preset target temperature value, it can also trigger the air conditioner to start the drying mode when the water heater and / or the bathroom heater is detected to be off, so as to deliver dry air with an actual operating temperature that meets the preset temperature threshold to the bathroom.

[0057] In addition, after triggering the air conditioner to control the shower to turn on or off based on the current ambient temperature, the current actual water temperature, and the preset target temperature value, the actual operating temperature of the air conditioner can also be adjusted to the preset target operating temperature according to the current ambient temperature in the bathroom and the current actual water temperature of the water heater.

[0058] Specifically, the actual operating temperature of the air conditioner can be increased to a preset target operating temperature based on the temperature difference between the current ambient temperature and the target ambient temperature; and / or, the actual operating temperature of the air conditioner can be increased to a preset target operating temperature based on the temperature difference between the current actual water temperature and the target water temperature.

[0059] Furthermore, after adjusting the actual operating temperature of the air conditioner to the preset target operating temperature based on the current ambient temperature in the bathroom and the current actual water temperature of the water heater, the method further includes: triggering the control of the air conditioner to start the air extraction mode when the humidity in the bathroom is detected to reach or exceed the preset humidity threshold, and controlling the actual operating temperature of the air conditioner to increase when the air extraction mode is detected, so as to maintain the temperature balance in the bathroom.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, when the user turns on the bathroom heater, the sensor transmits a trigger signal to the air conditioner's control system. The air conditioner's control system controls the first temperature sensor installed in the bathroom to detect whether the current ambient temperature in the bathroom is greater than 30℃. If it is less than 30℃, the air conditioner's control system controls the shower head to not spray water. If the current ambient temperature in the bathroom is greater than 30℃, the air conditioner's control system extracts the water temperature signal emitted by the water heater (i.e., the current actual water temperature). If the water temperature is less than 40℃, the air conditioner's control system controls the shower head to not spray water. If the water temperature is greater than 40℃, the shower head sprays water. At the same time, the air conditioner's control system can also detect the air quality through an air quality sensor. If the air quality is poor, the air conditioner's control system controls the windows to be opened for ventilation until the air quality reaches the standard, and then closes the windows. At the same time, it detects whether the room temperature is greater than 23℃. If it is less than 23℃, the air conditioner turns on heating until the temperature reaches 25℃.

[0061] The air conditioning association control method provided by this invention associates and controls the bathroom heater and shower head with the air conditioner. It obtains the current ambient temperature in the bathroom from a preset first temperature sensor and the current actual water temperature of the water heater from a preset second temperature sensor. Based on the obtained real-time ambient temperature, current actual water temperature, and preset target temperature value, the air conditioner is automatically triggered to control the shower head to turn on or off. This ensures that the water heater temperature and ambient temperature reach the set temperature before controlling the shower head to maintain a constant water temperature, avoiding uneven water temperature from the shower head. It also effectively saves water resources, thereby significantly improving the user experience.

[0079] The second operating temperature control unit is used to trigger the air conditioner to start the air extraction mode when the humidity in the bathroom is detected to reach or exceed a preset humidity threshold, and to control the air conditioner to increase its actual operating temperature when the air extraction mode is detected.

[0080] The air conditioning control device provided by this invention links the bathroom heater and shower head in the bathroom to the air conditioner for control.

Based on the obtained real-time ambient temperature, current actual water temperature and preset target temperature value, it automatically triggers the air conditioner to control the shower head to turn on or off. This ensures that the water heater temperature and ambient temperature reach the set temperature before controlling the shower head to maintain a constant water temperature, avoiding uneven water temperature from the shower head.
