[0070] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0071] As described in the background technology, the water heater and air conditioner in the related technology have the problem of high energy consumption. The inventors have found that the reason for this problem is that in order to ensure the comfortable temperature and humidity in the bathroom, the air conditioner in the bathroom needs to be turned on for a long time, resulting in increased energy consumption of the air conditioner. In order to provide users with hot water at any time, the water heater is also turned on for a long time, resulting in increased energy consumption of the water heater.

[0072] In response to the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method, a control device and a temperature control device for a temperature control device. By controlling the conduction state among the indoor heat exchanger, the outdoor heat exchanger and the water tank heat exchanger, the water tank heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger can be connected to the outdoor heat exchanger at the same time, or the indoor heat exchanger can be connected to the water tank heat exchanger, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the temperature control device.

[0073] The principles and features of the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0077] The outdoor heat exchanger 302 is connected to the compressor 301 via a third pipe section 307 , on which a third control valve 308 is disposed. The third control valve 308 is controlled to be opened or closed to achieve connection or disconnection between the outdoor heat exchanger 302 and the compressor 301 .

[0078] Refrigerant flows between the indoor heat exchanger 201 , the water tank heat exchanger 101 and the outdoor heat exchanger 302 .

[0079] The main hot water pipe section and the auxiliary hot water pipe section 202 are connected via a connecting pipe section 102 , on which a water valve 103 is provided. The water valve 103 is controlled to be opened or closed to achieve connection or disconnection between the main hot water pipe section and the auxiliary hot water pipe section 202 .

[0080] When the bathroom needs to be dehumidified, the first control valve 304 and the second control valve 306 are controlled to be opened, and the third control valve 308 is closed. The indoor heat exchanger 201, the compressor 301 and the water tank heat exchanger 101 are connected, and the refrigerant circulates from the indoor heat exchanger 201, the compressor 301 to the water tank heat exchanger 101. The indoor heat exchanger 201 exchanges heat with the air in the bathroom, absorbs heat in the air, and condenses the moisture in the air on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger 201, thereby reducing the humidity of the air. The water tank heat exchanger 101 exchanges heat with the water in the water tank, and after heat dissipation, the water in the water tank is heated to maintain the water temperature in the water tank.

[0081] When the bathroom needs to be dehumidified and the water in the water heater 10 needs to be heated, the first control valve 304, the second control valve 306 and the third control valve 308 are all controlled to be open, the indoor heat exchanger 201, the compressor 301 and the water tank heat exchanger 101 are connected, and the outdoor heat exchanger 302, the compressor 301 and the water tank heat exchanger 101 are connected.

[0087] The outdoor heat exchanger 302, the compressor 301 and the water tank heat exchanger 101 are connected, and the refrigerant circulates from the outdoor heat exchanger 302, the compressor 301 to the water tank heat exchanger 101. The outdoor heat exchanger 302 exchanges heat with the outdoor air and absorbs heat from the air. The water tank heat exchanger 101 exchanges heat with the water in the water tank to increase the temperature of the water in the water tank, thereby heating the water in the water heater 10.
