[0041] Also includes the following methods:

[0042] Method 1: The air conditioner main body 1 is powered separately through the power cord 12 and the battery 81, or the power cord 12 and the battery 81 are used to power the air conditioner main body 1 simultaneously, and the air conditioner is controlled by the operation control panel 2; a control signal is input from the control panel 2, and the control signal is transmitted to the central processing unit, and the central processing unit transmits the control signal to the controller, and the controller controls the temperature control module to operate and adjust the temperature, and the fan starts to output the wind source.

[0043] Method 2: The air conditioner body 1 is powered separately through the power cord 12 and the battery 81, or the power cord 12 and the battery 81 are powered simultaneously. The temperature and humidity sensor 11 automatically senses the indoor temperature and humidity, and feeds back the sensed information to the central processing unit.

[0044] Method three: Power the air conditioner main body 1 separately through the power cord 12 and the battery 81, or power the air conditioner main body 1 simultaneously through the power cord 12 and the battery 81, and operate the smart terminal to control the air conditioner: input the control signal from the smart terminal, and the control signal is transmitted to the central processor through the network module. The subsequent control process is the same as in method one.

[0045] Method 4: Power the air conditioner body 1 separately through the power cord 12 and the battery 81, or power the air conditioner body 1 simultaneously through the power cord 12 and the battery 81, and operate the remote control to control the air conditioner; input the control signal from the remote control, and the control signal is transmitted to the central processing unit through the infrared module. The subsequent control process is the same as method 1.

[0046] Working steps:

[0047] Manual steps, for example, operating the control panel 2, remote control or smart terminal to control the air-conditioning main body 1, first input the control signal as mode: cooling - temperature: 20℃ - wind speed: 1st gear - wind direction: sweeping up, down, left and right, the central processing unit receives the control signal and transmits it to the controller, the controller controls the temperature control module, the fan, the spoiler assembly 5, and the air-conditioning outdoor unit 7 to start, the compressor in the air-conditioning outdoor unit 7 works, the fan outputs a first gear of wind force, the horizontal spoiler 51 and the vertical spoiler 52 swing synchronously, the temperature control module monitors the indoor temperature and humidity, and controls the indoor temperature and humidity to be constant.

[0048] Automatic steps, for example, the scenario is that the indoor temperature is 36°C in summer, the temperature and humidity sensor 11 senses the indoor temperature and humidity, and transmits a signal to the central processor. The central processor automatically turns on the cooling mode, 20°C, and 1st wind speed when the indoor temperature is greater than 30°C according to the preset control information, and transmits a control signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal, controls the temperature control module, the fan, the spoiler assembly 5, and the air-conditioning outdoor unit 7 to start, and the subsequent steps are the same as the above manual steps.

[0049] In the automatic mode, when cooling, the spoiler assembly 5 is in a state where the longitudinal spoilers 52 are kept separated from each other, that is, they are in the middle without controlling the left and right wind directions, and the openings of the transverse spoilers 51 in the first air supply port 3 and the second air supply port 4 are both facing upward, and the cold air is transported upward;

[0050] During heating, the state of the longitudinal spoiler 52 is the same as that during cooling, and the openings of the transverse spoilers 51 in the first air supply port 3 and the second air supply port 4 are both facing downward, and hot air is transported downward.

[0051] Working principle: The indoor temperature is sensed by the set temperature and humidity sensor 11, and the signal is transmitted to the central processor. The central processor controls the mode, temperature, wind speed and wind direction output by the air-conditioning main body 1 according to the preset signal, and completes the automatic temperature adjustment of the air-conditioning main body 1. The air-conditioning main body 1 is powered by the set power cord 12 and solar panel 91. When the battery 81 has energy, the energy in the battery 81 can be used for power supply first to save energy. The solar panel 91 receives solar energy to charge the battery 81. Solar energy is a clean energy, which is beneficial to improving the environmental protection performance of the device. A ball sleeve 92 and a round ball 93 are set at the bottom of the solar panel 91 to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the solar panel 91 so that it can face the sun and generate more energy. Two groups of spoilers, namely, a horizontal spoiler 51 and a vertical spoiler 52, are set to make the wind direction more accurately adjusted, thereby improving the comfort of the device and improving the practicality of the device.
