[0040] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0041] Based on the description of the above background technology, it can be known that for temperature control equipment, the actual time required to operate at the maximum control function of the temperature control equipment is relatively short. If the temperature control equipment is configured according to the maximum control capability, it is relatively wasteful. However, if the temperature control equipment with the current configuration is still used, it cannot meet the user's cooling needs, and the user's experience is poor. In view of this, the present application provides a temperature control equipment control method.

[0042] See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 1 is a schematic flow chart of the main steps of a temperature control device control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which may include:

[0045] Step S13: at the target startup time, controlling the temperature control device to operate in the temperature control mode at maximum power.

[0046] In some embodiments, step 11 may specifically be obtaining weather forecast information, and obtaining a forecast temperature within a preset time range based on the weather forecast information.

[0047] The preset time range can be set according to the requirements. As an example, the preset time range can be the whole day of the next day.

[0048] In some embodiments, determining the pre-start period based on the forecast temperature and the preset temperature threshold in step S12 may include:

[0049] Compare the forecast temperature with the preset temperature threshold;

[0050] According to the comparison result, a time period within the preset time range in which the forecast temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature threshold is determined as the pre-start period.

[0051] The preset temperature threshold can be set according to the demand. In some embodiments, the preset temperature threshold can be the temperature that can be controlled by the maximum capacity of the corresponding temperature control device. In some embodiments, the preset temperature threshold can correspond to the temperature control mode, and the temperature control mode can include a cooling mode and a heating mode.

[0052] As an example, when the temperature control mode is the cooling mode, the preset temperature threshold may be 40° C. According to the comparison result, a time period greater than or equal to 40° C. within the preset time range may be determined as the pre-start period.

[0053] In some embodiments, the time advance amount can be pre-set according to the demand. In the case of high ambient temperature requiring greater control capability, by setting the time advance amount, a better control effect can be achieved under the control capability of the current temperature control device, improving the existing problem of poor control effect if the configuration of the temperature control device is not replaced.

[0054] In some embodiments, determining the target start time according to the pre-start period and the time advance in step S12 may include:

[0055] Get the start time of the pre-start period;

[0057] As an example, the pre-start period is from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm of the next day, then the start time is 11:00 am, the time advance can be set to 10 minutes, and the target start time is 10:50 am.

[0058] In some embodiments, the temperature control mode may include a cooling mode and a heating mode. Step S13 may specifically be to control the temperature control setting to run the cooling mode or the heating mode at maximum power at the target start-up time, that is, to control the temperature control device to run at maximum capacity at the target start-up time.

[0059] In some embodiments, the maximum power may correspond to the temperature control mode. In some embodiments, the cooling mode and the heating mode may correspond to different maximum powers.

Therefore, when the environment changes, there is no need to replace the temperature control device with a higher capacity. The temperature control needs can be met by starting to run at maximum power in advance, which saves costs and improves the user experience.
