[0045] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0046] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification of the present application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0047] The embodiments of the control method for the ducted air conditioner provided by the present application will be described in detail below. As shown in Figure 1 the flowchart of the control method for the ducted air conditioner provided by the present application, the specific implementation process includes the following steps:

[0048] Step 101: obtaining the control parameters sent by the bus controller corresponding to the ducted air conditioner; the ducted air conditioner includes a plurality of indoor air conditioners arranged in a plurality of houses and connected with a bus respectively; the bus controller is connected with the plurality of indoor air conditioners through the bus.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, each indoor air conditioner corresponds to a branch controller (i.e. branch controller), which is used to control the running state of the corresponding indoor air conditioner. At the same time, all indoor air conditioners are connected with the bus controller (i.e. bus controller) through the bus, which is used to control the running state of the corresponding multiple indoor air conditioners. Among them, the multiple houses correspond to the multiple indoor air conditioners respectively, that is, at least one indoor air conditioner is arranged in each house. The control parameters can include the running mode parameters, running wind speed parameters, running time parameters, running temperature parameters and the like corresponding to the ducted air conditioner. Correspondingly, the running state includes the running mode (such as heating or cooling mode), running wind speed, running time, and running temperature. Specifically, the bus controller obtains the control parameters input by the user through the operation panel, and then sends the control parameters through the bus controller to obtain the control parameters sent by the bus controller.

[0050] Step 102: In the case that it is determined that the first target house in which the interior does not contain a mobile object and the door lock is in an open state exists in the multiple houses, the running state of the target indoor air conditioner connected with the bus in the first target house is regulated based on the control parameters.

[0051] Specifically, determining whether the first target house in which the interior does not contain a mobile object and the door lock is in an open state exists in the multiple houses includes: detecting the mobile object in each house based on the preset infrared sensor in the multiple houses, in the case that the initial target house in which the interior does not contain a mobile object exists in the multiple houses, detecting the state of the door lock of the initial target house based on the preset door lock sensor of the initial target house to determine the first target house in which the interior does not contain a mobile object and the door lock is in an open state exists in the initial target house. Among them, the mobile object can be an object moving in the house. Among them, the initial target house is a house in which the infrared sensor initially determines that there is no mobile object inside, so that the door lock state of the initial target house is further detected, and in the case that it is determined that the door lock of the initial target house is in an open state, it is determined that it is the first target house. The infrared sensor can be an infrared identification module pre-set in the house. The door lock sensor can be an intelligent door lock arranged on the entrance door of the house.

[0052] In the case that the mobile object is detected in the house and it is determined that the door lock of the house is in the closed state, the house is not controlled by the control parameter of the bus controller, that is, the house with the target object inside or the house with the door lock in the closed state is determined not to be controlled. The house with the target object inside is usually adjusted by the branch controller set according to the needs of the user, and if it is controlled by the bus controller in this case, the user's experience will be affected. The house with the door lock in the closed state is usually determined as a state that does not need to be controlled, so in the process of controlling the house based on the control parameter of the bus controller, it is necessary to determine in advance whether the preset condition is met (whether the house does not contain a mobile object and the door lock is in the open state). If the above two conditions are met at the same time, the house that meets the conditions is controlled by the control parameter of the bus controller to improve the management efficiency and save energy consumption.

[0053] In the specific implementation process, after the control parameter is sent to the target indoor air conditioner in the first target house, corresponding voice inquiry information is generated based on the voice interaction module preset in the target indoor air conditioner, and after receiving the confirmation information returned by the mobile object according to the voice inquiry information, the target indoor air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the control parameter. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 8, a duct type air conditioner control method has a bus controller and a branch controller to control the indoor air conditioner in a house. The bus controller can monitor the operating state of the machine. When the bus controller adjusts the control parameter, the operating indoor air conditioner does not immediately participate in the adjustment, but triggers the indoor air conditioner to ask a voice question. If there is no reply, the bus controller does not operate. If the feedback voice agrees, the operating indoor air conditioner participates in the control. The rest are controlled according to the control parameter of the bus controller. The purpose is to prevent the special demand adjustment of the air conditioner in the individual room from being adjusted. The branch controller adjusts the machine parameter in the house and synchronizes the parameter in the bus controller. The multiple devices (indoor air conditioners) share one outdoor unit (outdoor air conditioner).

[0054] Further, after regulating the running state of the target indoor air conditioner connected with the bus in the first target house based on the control parameter, the method further comprises: detecting the duration that each house does not contain a moving object based on the preset infrared sensor in the first target house, and in the case that the duration reaches or exceeds a preset time threshold, sending a stop running control instruction to the corresponding branch controller based on the bus controller, so as to control the indoor air conditioner in the corresponding second target house to stop running through the branch controller; wherein the second target house is the house in the first target house whose duration without containing a moving object reaches or exceeds the preset time threshold; and the branch controller is the running state controller corresponding to the second target house. Further, after controlling the indoor air conditioner in the corresponding second target house to stop running through the branch controller, the branch controller can be connected to the control logic of the bus controller to monitor the running state of the branch controller and the target indoor air conditioner thereof in the bus controller in the case that an opening signal triggering the branch controller is detected. As shown in Figure 2 The duct type air conditioner (i.e. duct type air conditioner) control method can use infrared identification, intelligent door lock, bus controller, branch controller for matching combination. When the bus controller is controlled, the air conditioner in the house with a user does not participate in the regulation, and the house or room with the intelligent door lock feedback in the closed state does not participate in the regulation, and the rest are controlled according to the bus controller parameters. In addition, the duct type air conditioner can be directly turned off when there is no one in the room for more than a set time, wherein the user entering for less than 10 minutes is not counted in the no one time. When the bus controller is used to control the house, the corresponding branch controller does not run until the branch controller is set, and then the bus controller is connected to the control logic of the branch controller. The plurality of devices (i.e. indoor air conditioner) share one outdoor unit (i.e. outdoor air conditioner).

[0055] The control method for the duct type air conditioner provided by the application can effectively improve the adjustment and control efficiency and flexibility of the duct type air conditioner, reduce power consumption, and improve the user experience.
