[0046] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are proposed for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present application can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from hindering the description of the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] It should be noted that although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that in the flowchart. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0048] It should also be understood that the references to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" described in the specification of the embodiments of the present application mean that one or more embodiments of the embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Thus, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0049] At present, there is no strong correlation between the air conditioner status and the sterilization function in the commonly used sterilization technology solutions. Pulse sterilization is a sterilization solution in the relevant technology. When the pulse sterilization function is turned on, the air conditioner status may remain in normal operation because there is no strong correlation between the air conditioner status and the sterilization function. In this way, the high-intensity sterilization light may be reflected from the air outlet and other locations to the outside of the air conditioner, causing harm to the human body and affecting the user experience.

[0050] In the air conditioner structure, the pulse light is located behind the wind wheel, and the evaporator needs to be sterilized. Similarly, the pulse light can be reflected through the evaporator, the bottom plate of the outer box and other locations due to its high intensity, and pass through the air outlet. Therefore, for high-intensity sterilization types such as pulse sterilization, it is necessary to create a relatively closed environment inside the air conditioner so that the pulse light itself can be repeatedly reflected inside the air conditioner for sterilization, avoiding the high-intensity sterilization light from being reflected through the air outlet and other locations to the outside of the air conditioner and affecting the user experience.

[0051] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioning control method, an air conditioning, and a computer-readable storage medium. In the air conditioning control method, first respond to the sterilization instruction to obtain the current working state of the air conditioning; then, when the current working state is not the standby state, output a standby sterilization prompt; then respond to confirming the standby sterilization instruction, control the air conditioning to enter the standby state and reset the load of the air conditioning; finally, when the load has been completely shut down, turn on the pulse light sterilization. Before turning on the high-intensity sterilization component, the present application first allows the air conditioning itself to form a relatively closed environment, thereby achieving the purpose of avoiding the possible impact on the user after the sterilization component is turned on; at the same time, because the air conditioning itself forms a relatively closed environment, the pulse light used for sterilization can also be fully reflected inside the air conditioning, enhancing the sterilization effect.

[0052] The air conditioning control method, air conditioner and computer-readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application are specifically described through the following embodiments. First, the air conditioning control method in the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0053] The present application provides an air conditioning control method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of an air conditioning control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The air conditioning control method can be applied to air conditioning, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning control method provided in this embodiment includes steps S10 to S40.

[0054] Step S10, in response to the sterilization instruction, obtaining the current working state of the air conditioner;

[0055] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the executing entity is the air conditioner. The sterilization command can be generated when the user presses the "sterilization" button using the air conditioner remote control, or when the user clicks the "sterilization" button on the front panel of the air conditioner. After the air conditioner receives the sterilization command, in order to avoid the impact of the sterilization component on the external environment of the air conditioner, it is necessary to first obtain the current working status of the air conditioner, and then know whether the air conditioner is currently in a working state (for example, cooling, heating, dehumidification, drying, etc.) or in a standby state waiting for work instructions.

[0056] Step S20, when the current working state is not the standby state, outputting a standby sterilization prompt;

[0057] It is understandable that if the sterilization function is directly started when it is determined that the air conditioner is not in standby mode, then as in the related art, the sterilization function and cooling, heating, dehumidification, drying and other functions will run simultaneously, which may cause the pulse light generated by the sterilization component for sterilization to be reflected through the air conditioner and reach the external environment, thereby causing harm to the user. Therefore, it is necessary to output a standby sterilization prompt to ask the user whether to control the air conditioner to enter the standby state of turning off the load and perform sterilization.

[0058] As an example, the standby sterilization reminder can be displayed on the display panel of the air conditioner, or on a mobile terminal that has established a wireless connection with the air conditioner, or the user can be prompted by voice broadcast.

[0059] Step S30, in response to confirming the standby sterilization instruction, controlling the air conditioner to enter a standby state and resetting the load of the air conditioner;

[0060] It can be understood that the confirmation standby sterilization instruction can be generated by the user pressing a button on the remote control or by clicking on the front panel of the air conditioner. When the confirmation instruction is received, it means that the user agrees to stop the current working state of the air conditioner and enable the sterilization function of the air conditioner. Before the sterilization function is enabled, in addition to adjusting the air conditioner to the standby state, all loads of the air conditioner must be reset (for example: resetting the left and right air guide plates, the upper and lower air guide plates, closing the sliding switch door of the front panel, closing the fresh air outlet and the air guide plates of the fresh air inlet, etc. The above loads are only examples, and other load types that affect the formation of a relatively closed space by the air conditioner are also included in the protection scope of this embodiment), so that a relatively closed environment is formed inside the air conditioner. In this way, after the sterilization function is started, the pulse light used for sterilization can be fully reflected inside the air conditioner, which not only enhances the sterilization effect, but also will not affect the outside of the air conditioner, thereby avoiding adverse effects on users.

[0061] Step S40, when all the loads have been shut down, pulse light sterilization is started.

[0062] It is understandable that when the air conditioner is not performing other functions and all loads of the air conditioner have been turned off, so that a relatively closed environment is formed inside the air conditioner, the pulse light sterilization function can be turned on. At this time, there will be no light leakage to the outside of the air conditioner. The evaporator and wind wheel components inside the air conditioner form a relatively closed environment, and the pulse light can be fully reflected, which can effectively increase the sterilization effect.

[0063] In some feasible embodiments, after the step of acquiring the current working state of the air conditioner in the above step S10, the air conditioner control method may further include:

[0064] Step S21, when the current working state is the standby state, controlling the air conditioner to enter the standby state and resetting the load of the air conditioner.

[0065] It is understandable that when it is determined that the air conditioner is in standby mode, there is no need to prompt the user and the air conditioner can be directly controlled to enter standby mode and reset the load of the air conditioner, so that a relatively closed environment is formed inside the air conditioner. In this way, after the sterilization function is activated, the pulse light used for sterilization can be fully reflected inside the air conditioner, which not only enhances the sterilization effect, but also has no impact on the outside of the air conditioner, thereby avoiding adverse effects on users.

[0066] In some feasible embodiments, after the step of outputting the standby sterilization prompt in the above step S20, the air conditioning control method may further include:

[0067] Step S31, when no confirmation standby sterilization instruction is received, the current working state of the air conditioner is maintained.

[0068] It should be noted that after the standby sterilization prompt is output, the user may still need the air conditioner to continue cooling and heating, so may issue instructions such as "cancel sterilization", "sterilize later", "continue cooling and heating", etc., or may ignore the sterilization prompt. Therefore, a preset time for responding to the standby sterilization prompt can be set. If no confirmation of the standby sterilization instruction is received within the preset time, the standby sterilization action will not be performed, and the current working state of the air conditioner will be maintained.

[0069] It is understandable that instructions such as "cancel sterilization", "sterilize later", "continue cooling and heating" can be generated by the user by pressing the remote control button, or by clicking the front panel of the air conditioner. When the cancellation instruction is received, it means that the user does not agree to stop the current working state of the air conditioner. At this time, the previously received sterilization instruction will be stopped and deleted. After the user re-initiates the sterilization instruction, the above steps will be executed to re-determine whether the air conditioner is currently suitable for turning on the sterilization function.

[0070] In some feasible embodiments, after the step of controlling the air conditioner to enter a standby state and resetting the load of the air conditioner in the above step S30, the air conditioner control method may further include:

[0071] Step S41: When the loads are not completely closed, outputting a load closing abnormality prompt.

[0072] It is understandable that if all the loads of the air conditioner are not completely turned off, a relatively closed environment will not be formed inside the air conditioner. Then, if the pulse light sterilization function is turned on at this time, light will still leak to the outside of the air conditioner. Therefore, it is necessary to output a load shutdown abnormal prompt to remind the user that the current state of the air conditioner is still not suitable for sterilization.

[0073] As an example, the load closing abnormal prompt can be displayed on the display panel of the air conditioner (for example, the panel displays "E8", indicating that the fresh air outlet is not closed normally, and it flashes continuously for 5 seconds and then goes out), or it can be displayed on a mobile terminal that has established a wireless connection with the air conditioner, and the user can also be prompted through voice broadcast.

[0074] This embodiment provides an air conditioning control method, which first responds to a sterilization instruction to obtain the current working state of the air conditioner; then, when the current working state is not a standby state, outputs a standby sterilization prompt; then, in response to confirming the standby sterilization instruction, controls the air conditioner to enter the standby state and resets the load of the air conditioner; finally, when the load has been completely shut down, turns on the pulse light sterilization. Before turning on the high-intensity sterilization component, the present application first allows the air conditioner itself to form a relatively closed environment, thereby achieving the purpose of avoiding possible impact on the user after the sterilization component is turned on; at the same time, because the air conditioner itself forms a relatively closed environment, the pulse light used for sterilization can also be fully reflected inside the air conditioner, enhancing the sterilization effect.

[0075] Combined with the above Figure 1 For the corresponding embodiments, refer to Figure 2 In some feasible embodiments, before the above steps S40 and S41, the air conditioning control method may further include:

[0076] Step S32, determining whether the air conditioner forms a relatively closed space;

[0077] Step S33, determining whether all the loads have been shut down according to the judgment result.

[0078] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the basis for judging whether all loads have been shut down is the judgment result of whether the air conditioner forms a relatively closed space.

[0079] As an example, the above step S32 may include:

[0080] Detecting Hall switch signals of the front panel and top cover of the air conditioner;

[0081] When the Hall switch signal is valid, determining that the air conditioner has formed a relatively closed space;

[0082] When the Hall switch signal is invalid, it is determined that the air conditioner does not form a relatively closed space.

[0083] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, a technical solution is provided for determining whether the air conditioner forms a relatively enclosed space based on the state of a logic signal. The Hall switch signals of the front panel and the top cover of the air conditioner are reflected by sensors installed on the front panel and the top cover, which can reflect whether the front panel and the top cover are completely closed. When they are completely closed, the corresponding Hall switch signal is 1, that is, the signal is valid. When they are not completely closed, the corresponding Hall switch signal is 0, that is, the signal is invalid.

[0084] As an example, the above step S32 may also include:

[0085] Detecting whether the driving current of the air guide plate and the stepping motor of the door opening and closing of the air conditioner has reached the stall current threshold;

[0086] When the driving current has reached the stall current threshold, determining that the air conditioner has formed a relatively closed space;

[0087] When the driving current does not reach the stall current threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner does not form a relatively closed space.

[0088] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, a technical solution is provided for determining whether the air conditioner forms a relatively enclosed space based on the state of a logic signal. The stepper motor of the air guide plate and the switch door of the air conditioner is used to drive the air guide plate and the switch door to rotate. When the air guide plate and the switch door rotate to a fully closed position, the driving current of the stepper motor will reach the stall current threshold, indicating that the air guide plate and the switch door are fully closed. Otherwise, it means that the air guide plate and the switch door can continue to rotate, indicating that they are not fully closed.

[0089] As an example, the above step S33 may include:

[0090] When the result of the judgment is that the air conditioner has formed a relatively closed space, determining that all the loads have been completely shut down;

[0091] When the judgment result is that the air conditioner does not form a relatively enclosed space, it is determined that the loads are not completely shut down.

[0092] It can be understood that when the air conditioner has formed a relatively enclosed space, it means that the load of the air conditioner has been fully reset, that is, the load has been fully shut down. When the air conditioner has not formed a relatively enclosed space, it means that the load of the air conditioner has not been fully reset, that is, the load has not been fully shut down.

[0093] As an example, after combining this embodiment with the above embodiment, the overall flow diagram including the above process branches is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0094] As an example, by combining the above embodiments, the following can be given: Figure 4 Application examples shown:

[0095] 1. The user turns on the sterilization function by using the remote control or clicking the front panel button;

[0096] 2. If the air conditioner is running, that is, in cooling or heating mode, go to step 3; otherwise, go to step 4;

[0097] 3. Ask the user whether to shut down the air conditioner and sterilize it; if the user chooses yes, the air conditioner is shut down and the process goes to step 4; if the user chooses no, the process does not respond to the sterilization instruction;

[0098] 4. Reset the loads of the air outlet and air inlet related to the air conditioner: including but not limited to the following loads: (4.1) Reset the left and right air guide plates and the upper and lower air guide plates, and close the sliding switch door of the front panel; (4.2) Close the air guide plates of the fresh air outlet and the fresh air inlet. After completing the relevant actions, go to 5;

[0099] 5. To determine whether the air conditioner forms a relatively closed space, the following logic signals may be used for judgment: (5.1) detecting the Hall switch signals of the front panel and the top cover; (5.2) detecting whether the driving current of the stepper motor (opening and closing doors, air guide plates) has reached the stall current threshold; if there is a load that is not closed normally, which affects the formation of a closed environment by the air conditioner, the user is prompted with relevant information; if all loads have been closed, pulse light sterilization is started.

[0100] The present embodiment provides an air-conditioning control method, which specifically includes a judgment method for determining whether all the loads have been shut down. Based on a variety of different logic signals, it is judged whether the air-conditioning forms a relatively closed space, and then it is determined whether all the loads of the air-conditioning have been shut down, so as to prepare for the activation of the sterilization function, and ensure that after the pulse light sterilization is turned on, light leakage can be prevented to avoid the pulse light from causing adverse effects on users; at the same time, the pulse light can be fully reflected in the relatively closed environment formed by the evaporator and the wind wheel component inside the air-conditioning, thereby increasing the sterilization effect.

[0101] In addition, the present application also provides an air conditioning control device, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of an air conditioning control device provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the air conditioning control device includes: an acquisition module 100, a prompt module 200 and an execution module 300.

[0102] The acquisition module 100 is used to obtain the current working state of the air conditioner in response to the sterilization instruction;

[0103] The prompt module 200 is used to output a standby sterilization prompt when the current working state is not the standby state;

[0104] The execution module 300 is used to control the air conditioner to enter a standby state and reset the load of the air conditioner in response to confirming the standby sterilization instruction;

[0105] The execution module 300 is also used to start pulse light sterilization when all the loads have been closed.

[0106] In some feasible embodiments, the execution module 300 is further configured to control the air conditioner to enter the standby state and reset the load of the air conditioner when the current working state is the standby state.

[0107] In some feasible embodiments, the execution module 300 is further configured to maintain the current working state of the air conditioner when no confirmation standby sterilization instruction is received.

[0108] In some feasible embodiments, the prompt module 200 is further configured to output a load shutdown abnormality prompt when the loads are not completely shut down.

[0109] In some feasible embodiments, the air conditioning control device further includes:

[0110] A judgment module is used to judge whether the air conditioner forms a relatively closed space; and determine whether all the loads have been shut down according to the judgment result.

[0111] In some feasible embodiments, the judgment module is also used to detect the Hall switch signals of the front panel and the top cover of the air conditioner; when the Hall switch signal is valid, it is determined that the air conditioner has formed a relatively enclosed space; when the Hall switch signal is invalid, it is determined that the air conditioner has not formed a relatively enclosed space.

[0112] In some feasible embodiments, the judgment module is also used to detect whether the driving current of the air guide plate and the stepper motor of the door opening and closing of the air conditioner has reached the stall current threshold; when the driving current has reached the stall current threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner has formed a relatively enclosed space; when the driving current has not reached the stall current threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner has not formed a relatively enclosed space.

[0113] In some feasible embodiments, the judgment module is also used to determine that all the loads have been shut down when the judgment result is that the air conditioner has formed a relatively enclosed space; and to determine that all the loads have not been shut down when the judgment result is that the air conditioner has not formed a relatively enclosed space.
