[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning, and more specifically, to a control method for an air conditioner, an air conditioner, an apparatus, and a storage medium in the field of air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are common household appliances, typically used for temperature and humidity control, and air purification. During use, the inevitable interaction of hot and cold air can cause condensation on the control board and other electronic components.

[0003] In related technologies, sponges are usually attached to electronic control components such as electronic control boards to reduce the direct heat exchange between the electronic control components and the external environment and to avoid condensation problems. However, this method is not conducive to the heat dissipation of electronic control components. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a control method, air conditioner, device, and storage medium for an air conditioner. The method can increase the temperature of the electronic component cavity by controlling the operation of the operating components, thereby preventing condensation of electronic devices inside the electronic component cavity.

[0005] In a first aspect, a control method for an air conditioner is provided. The method is applied to a controller of the air conditioner, which also includes an operating component. The controller is installed in an electronic component cavity of the air conditioner, which contains other electronic components besides the controller. The method includes: when the air conditioner enters a fan-supply mode, acquiring a first operating condition parameter of the air conditioner in the fan-supply mode; when the first operating condition parameter meets a first preset condition, controlling the air conditioner to enter an anti-condensation mode and activating the operating component of the air conditioner to increase the temperature of the electronic component cavity through the operation of the electronic components corresponding to the operating component.

[0006] Secondly, a control device for an air conditioner is provided, the device comprising:

[0007] The acquisition unit is used to acquire the first operating condition parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode when the air conditioner enters the air supply mode.

[0008] The control unit is used to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode and start the operating components of the air conditioner when the first operating parameters meet the first preset conditions, so as to increase the temperature of the electronic component cavity through the operation of the electronic devices corresponding to the operating components.

[0009] Thirdly, an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a memory for storing executable program code; and a processor for calling and running the executable program code from the memory, causing the air conditioner to perform the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

[0010] Fourthly, a computer program product is provided, comprising: computer program code, which, when run on a computer, causes the computer to perform the methods described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

[0011] Fifthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided that stores computer program code, which, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform the methods described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

[0012] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode when the air supply duration of the air conditioner in the air supply mode reaches a threshold, the indoor return air temperature collected by the indoor temperature sensor is less than a first temperature threshold, and the outdoor ambient temperature collected by the outdoor temperature sensor reaches a second temperature threshold. Since the indoor return air temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and air supply duration are combined to determine whether to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode, the accuracy of controlling the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode is improved. Furthermore, by turning on the air conditioner's compressor and outdoor fan, or by turning on the air conditioner's outdoor fan alone, the corresponding electronic components can be controlled to start and operate, generating heat and increasing the temperature of the electronic component cavity where the electronic components are located.

[0019] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and thoroughly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or," for example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more than two.

[0020] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. For an integrated air conditioner (an air conditioning system in which all operating components such as the condenser, evaporator, compressor, and expansion valve are integrated into a single casing, wherein the compressor 1, outdoor fan 2, first heat exchanger 3, and indoor return air vent 10 are installed in the outer air duct of the air conditioner; the second heat exchanger 4, circulating fan 5, indoor air outlet 6, electronic component cavity 7, and outdoor ventilation vent 8 are located in the inner air duct of the air conditioner), as... Figure 1 As shown. The air conditioner can operate in cooling mode, heating mode, and fan mode. In cooling mode, the first heat exchanger acts as a condenser and the second heat exchanger acts as an evaporator. In heating mode, the first heat exchanger acts as an evaporator and the second heat exchanger acts as a condenser. In fan mode, the first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger, the outdoor fan, and the compressor are not running. Air entering from the indoor return air vent passes through the inner and outer partitions and the second heat exchanger, and then passes through the circulating fan and is transported back to the indoor space through the indoor air outlet. In this embodiment, the electronic components of the air conditioner include a control device, which can be used to control the operation of the compressor, the first heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger. The electronic components also include an outdoor fan control device, which can receive instructions from the control device to control the operation of the outdoor fan, and a circulating fan control device, which can also receive instructions from the controller to control the operation of the circulating fan. In addition, the electronic components also include a radiator 11 for heat dissipation of the electronic component cavity, which can also receive instructions from the controller.

[0022] When the air conditioner is operating in fan-only mode, after the circulating fan starts, the air flows through the second heat exchanger due to the obstruction of baffle 9, then through the indoor air duct between the second heat exchanger and the circulating fan, and finally out of the indoor air outlet. During this process, some airflow from the indoor side duct passes through the electronic component cavity. Due to the airflow, a negative pressure zone is formed in the electronic component cavity, causing a small amount of outdoor airflow to enter the electronic component cavity through the outdoor vent due to the pressure difference. Since only the circulating fan is running when the air conditioner is in fan-only mode, the electronic component cavity does not generate heat. Due to the negative pressure, the warmer outdoor airflow enters the electronic component cavity and comes into contact with the cooler electronic components inside, resulting in condensation on the surface of the electronic components. The higher the outdoor temperature and humidity of the space where the air conditioner operates, and the lower the indoor temperature, the more obvious the condensation phenomenon. If the water droplets attached to the electronic components are not removed in time, it will lead to corrosion and damage to the electronic components.

[0023] Based on this, this application proposes a control method for an air conditioner. After the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, the method acquires the first operating parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode. Then, when the first operating parameters meet a first preset condition, the method controls the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode and activates the operating components of the air conditioner. The heat generated by the operation of the electronic devices corresponding to the operating components raises the temperature of the electronic component cavity where the electronic devices are located. Since the temperature of the electronic component cavity can be increased by controlling the operation of the operating components, condensation of the electronic devices in the electronic component cavity is avoided. This eliminates the need for additional sponge installation to prevent condensation, saving materials and improving the convenience of condensation prevention in the air conditioner.

[0024] based on Figure 1 The structural diagram shown below will be combined with... Figures 2-6 The control method for the air conditioner provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S101-S102.

[0026] S101, when the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, obtain the first operating condition parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode;

[0027] In one embodiment, the air supply mode is the process of starting the air conditioner's circulating fan to deliver outdoor air to the space where the air conditioner operates. By operating the air supply mode, the comfort of the air in the space where the air conditioner operates can be improved. When entering the air supply mode, the first operating condition parameter of the air conditioner in the air supply mode is acquired. The first operating condition parameter is a parameter of the air conditioner's operating state when operating the air supply mode, which may include any one or more of the following: air supply duration of the air conditioner operating the air supply mode, indoor return air temperature, outdoor return air temperature, or outdoor return air humidity.

[0028] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the air conditioner can obtain the first operating condition parameter through a corresponding acquisition method. For example, if the first operating condition parameter is the air supply duration, a timer can be started when the air conditioner enters the air supply mode to obtain the air supply duration; if the first operating condition parameter is the outdoor return air humidity, the outdoor return air humidity can be obtained from a humidity sensor installed at the outdoor vent. Optionally, this application can also collect multiple outdoor return air humidity values ​​using a humidity sensor.

[0029] S101, when the first operating condition parameter meets the first preset condition, control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode and start the air conditioner's operating components to increase the temperature of the electronic component cavity through the operation of the electronic devices corresponding to the operating components.

[0030] In one embodiment, after obtaining the first operating condition parameter, it is determined whether the first operating condition parameter meets a first preset condition. If the first operating condition parameter meets the first preset condition, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode. When the air conditioner is running in anti-condensation mode, it can increase the temperature inside the electronic component cavity to prevent condensation from occurring on the electronic devices inside the cavity.

[0031] For example, the first operating condition parameter is the outdoor return air humidity, and the first preset condition is the humidity threshold, which can be 60%. When the outdoor return air humidity is 80% as obtained by the humidity sensor, which is greater than the humidity threshold (60%), it is determined that the first operating condition parameter meets the first preset condition, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode.

[0032] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, if there are multiple first operating condition parameters, there are also multiple first preset conditions. Based on different first operating condition parameters corresponding to different first preset conditions, by determining whether multiple first operating condition parameters meet the first preset conditions, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode, thereby improving the accuracy of the air conditioner entering the anti-condensation mode.

[0033] Furthermore, after the air conditioner enters the anti-condensation mode, the operating components are activated. These operating components are those that enable the air conditioner to perform various functions normally after startup. In this embodiment, some operating components (e.g., the compressor, the first heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger) are directly controlled by a controller; others (e.g., the outdoor fan and the circulating fan) have corresponding electronic devices, and these electronic devices are installed within the same electronic component cavity as the controller. After the air conditioner activates the operating components, the corresponding electronic devices of those components are electrically activated, generating heat.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, the first operating parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode are acquired. Then, when the first operating parameters meet the first preset condition, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode, and the operating components of the air conditioner are turned on. The heat generated by the operation of the electronic devices corresponding to the operating components raises the temperature of the electronic component cavity where the electronic devices are located. Since the temperature of the electronic component cavity can be increased by controlling the operation of the operating components, condensation of the electronic devices in the electronic component cavity is avoided. There is no need to install additional sponges to prevent condensation, saving materials and improving the convenience of preventing condensation in the air conditioner.

[0035] Please see Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S201-S203.

[0036] S201, when the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, obtain the first operating condition parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode;

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The air conditioner also includes an indoor temperature sensor installed at the indoor return air vent and an outdoor temperature sensor installed at the outdoor vent. The first operating condition parameters include the indoor return air temperature collected by the indoor temperature sensor, the outdoor ambient temperature collected by the outdoor temperature sensor, and the air supply duration when the air conditioner enters the air supply mode.

[0038] Optionally, when the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, a timer is started to begin timing and the duration of air supply in the air supply mode is obtained.

[0039] S202, when the air supply time of the air conditioner in the air supply mode reaches the air supply time threshold, the indoor return air temperature collected by the indoor temperature sensor reaches the first temperature threshold, and the outdoor ambient temperature collected by the outdoor temperature sensor reaches the second temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode.

[0040] In one embodiment, after obtaining the first operating condition parameters, it is determined whether to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode based on the first operating condition parameters. Specifically, when it is determined that the air supply duration reaches the air supply duration threshold, the indoor return air temperature reaches the first temperature threshold, and the outdoor ambient temperature reaches the second temperature threshold, it is determined that there is a possibility of condensation occurring in the air conditioner. In order to avoid water droplets adhering to the electronic components inside the electronic component cavity and corroding the electronic components, it is necessary to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode.

[0041] For example, the air supply duration threshold can be 5 minutes, the first temperature threshold can be 27 degrees Celsius (°C), and the second temperature threshold can be 35°C. When the air supply duration of the air conditioner is greater than 5 minutes, the indoor return air temperature is less than 27°C, and the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than 35°C, it is determined that the first preset condition is met, and the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode.

[0042] Optionally, in this embodiment, the air supply duration threshold can be determined based on the difference between the indoor return air temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature. For example, if the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the indoor return air temperature is greater than a preset difference, the air supply duration threshold can be set to a smaller value. It is understood that when the outdoor ambient temperature is much higher than the indoor return air temperature, air entering the air duct from the outdoor environment is more likely to condense inside the electronic component cavity. Therefore, determining the air supply duration threshold based on the difference between the indoor return air temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature can accurately control the air conditioner to enter anti-condensation mode.

[0043] S203, start the operating component of the air conditioner to increase the temperature of the electronic component cavity by operating the electronic devices corresponding to the operating component.

[0044] In one embodiment, the operating components include the air conditioner's compressor and outdoor fan. Optionally, the air conditioner's compressor and outdoor fan are started simultaneously when the air conditioner enters anti-condensation mode.

[0045] It is understandable that after the compressor is started, a large amount of heat is generated due to the operation of the compressor itself. Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, when the compressor is started, it is necessary to start the outdoor fan for heat dissipation.

[0046] In one embodiment, the compressor can be started at a first preset frequency, and the outdoor fan can be started at a first preset speed. Furthermore, the compressor's operating frequency can be determined based on the difference between the indoor return air temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0047] In another embodiment, the outdoor fan of the air conditioner is activated simultaneously with the air conditioner entering anti-condensation mode. It is understood that when the outdoor fan is activated, the corresponding electronic components need to run, thereby increasing the temperature of the electronic component cavity through the heat generated during operation.

[0048] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode when the air supply duration of the air conditioner in the air supply mode reaches a threshold, the indoor return air temperature collected by the indoor temperature sensor is less than a first temperature threshold, and the outdoor ambient temperature collected by the outdoor temperature sensor reaches a second temperature threshold. Since the indoor return air temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and air supply duration are combined to determine whether to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode, the accuracy of controlling the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode is improved. Furthermore, by turning on the air conditioner's compressor and outdoor fan, or by turning on the air conditioner's outdoor fan alone, the corresponding electronic components can be controlled to start and operate, generating heat and increasing the temperature of the electronic component cavity where the electronic components are located.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S301-S303.

[0050] S301: When the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, obtain the first operating condition parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode.

[0051] S302, when the first operating condition parameter meets the first preset condition, control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode and start the operating component of the air conditioner to increase the temperature of the electronic component cavity through the operation of the electronic device corresponding to the operating component.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, the steps of controlling the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode based on the first operating condition parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode are similar to those in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] S303, turn off the air conditioner's recirculating fan.

[0054] In one embodiment, it is understood that when the air conditioner is operating in the air supply mode, it uses a circulating fan to transport air from the outer air duct of the air conditioner through the indoor air duct to the working space of the air conditioner. After the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode, it is necessary to control and shut down the circulating fan of the air conditioner.

[0055] Furthermore, after shutting down the air conditioner's circulating fan, the second operating condition parameters of the air conditioner can be acquired again. When the second operating condition parameters meet the second preset condition, the circulating fan is controlled to start. The second operating condition parameters are the operating parameters collected when the air conditioner is running in air supply mode. In one embodiment, the second operating condition parameters include any one of the following: the shutdown duration of the circulating fan, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, and the temperature inside the electronic component cavity. Specifically, when it is determined that the second operating condition parameters meet the second preset condition, or when the shutdown duration of the circulating fan reaches a shutdown duration threshold, or when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner reaches a heat exchange temperature threshold, or when the temperature inside the electronic component cavity reaches a cavity temperature threshold, the circulating fan is controlled to start.

[0056] It is understandable that when the air conditioner enters the anti-condensation mode, starts the operating components, and raises the temperature of the electronic component cavity through the corresponding electronic devices of the operating components, the electronic devices are in a conductive working state, which will generate heat. If the circulating fan is always in a closed state, heat will accumulate in the air duct inside the air conditioner. Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, when it is determined that the second operating condition parameter of the air conditioner meets the second preset condition, the circulating fan is turned on to remove the heat generated during the start-up and operation of the electronic devices to the outside of the air duct inside the air conditioner, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the electronic devices.

[0057] For example, in this embodiment of the application, the shutdown duration threshold can be 10 minutes, the heat exchange temperature threshold can be 50°C, and the cavity temperature threshold can be 60°C. It is understood that the values ​​of the shutdown duration threshold, the heat exchange temperature threshold, and the cavity temperature threshold can be determined according to the material of the electronic device. If the material of the electronic device is resistant to high temperatures, a larger shutdown duration threshold, heat exchange temperature threshold, and cavity temperature threshold can be set.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after the operating component is started, if it is determined that the operating parameters of the operating component meet the third preset condition, the air conditioner is controlled to exit the anti-condensation mode. The third preset condition includes either the operating duration of the operating component or the receipt of a mode switching command. The mode switching command is an instruction to change the current operating mode of the air conditioner, such as changing the currently operating anti-condensation mode to cooling mode, heating mode, or re-entering the fan-supply mode.

[0059] For example, in this application embodiment, the anti-condensation mode is exited when the running time of the air conditioner's operating components reaches the shutdown time threshold, or when the system receives a request to change the currently running anti-condensation mode to cooling mode.

[0060] In this embodiment, the circulating fan is turned on when the second operating parameters of the air conditioner meet the second preset condition, so as to remove the heat generated during the start-up and operation of the electronic device to the outside of the air duct inside the air conditioner, thus ensuring the normal operation of the electronic device; and the air conditioner is controlled to exit the anti-condensation mode when the operating parameters of the operating component meet the third preset condition, thereby achieving accurate control of the air conditioner to exit the anti-condensation mode.

[0061] based on Figure 1 The structural diagram is shown below, in conjunction with... Figure 5 This application provides a detailed description of the control device for an air conditioner according to embodiments. It should be noted that... Figure 5 The control device of the air conditioner in the present application is used to perform the functions described herein. Figures 2-4 The methods shown in the embodiments are illustrated for ease of explanation, showing only the parts relevant to the embodiments of this application. For specific technical details not disclosed, please refer to this application. Figures 2-4 The illustrated embodiment. Specifically, the control device 1 of the air conditioner includes: an acquisition unit 11 and a control unit 12.

[0062] The acquisition unit 11 is used to acquire the first operating condition parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode when the air conditioner enters the air supply mode.

[0063] The control unit 12 is used to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode and start the operating components of the air conditioner when the first operating parameters meet the first preset conditions, so as to increase the temperature of the electronic component cavity through the operation of the electronic devices corresponding to the operating components.

[0064] The control unit 12 specifically includes: control subunit 121.

[0065] The control subunit 121 is used to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode when the air supply duration of the air conditioner in the air supply mode reaches the air supply duration threshold, the indoor return air temperature collected by the indoor temperature sensor is less than the first temperature threshold, and the outdoor ambient temperature collected by the outdoor temperature sensor reaches the second temperature threshold. The first operating condition parameters include the air supply duration, the indoor return air temperature, and the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0066] Control unit 12 also includes: shutdown subunit 122.

[0067] Shutdown subunit 122 is used to shut down the air conditioner's circulating fan.

[0068] The control unit 12 also includes: an acquisition subunit 123 and a control subunit 124.

[0069] Acquire subunit 123, used to acquire the second operating condition parameters of the air conditioner;

[0070] The control subunit 124 is used to control the start of the circulating fan when the second operating condition parameter meets the second preset condition.

[0071] The control unit 12 also includes: a first start subunit 125 and a second start subunit 126.

[0072] The first starting subunit 125 is used to start the air conditioner's compressor and outdoor fan; or,

[0073] The second starter subunit 126 is used to start the outdoor fan of the air conditioner.

[0074] Control unit 12 also includes: exit subunit 127.

[0075] Exit subunit 127 is used to control the air conditioner to exit the anti-condensation mode when the operating parameters of the running components meet the third preset condition.

[0076] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, the first operating parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode are acquired. Then, when the first operating parameters meet the first preset condition, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode, and the operating components of the air conditioner are turned on. The heat generated by the operation of the electronic devices corresponding to the operating components raises the temperature of the electronic component cavity where the electronic devices are located. Since the temperature of the electronic component cavity can be increased by controlling the operation of the operating components, condensation of the electronic devices in the electronic component cavity is avoided. There is no need to install additional sponges to prevent condensation, saving materials and improving the convenience of preventing condensation in the air conditioner.

[0077] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode when the air supply duration of the air conditioner in the air supply mode reaches a threshold, the indoor return air temperature collected by the indoor temperature sensor is less than a first temperature threshold, and the outdoor ambient temperature collected by the outdoor temperature sensor reaches a second temperature threshold. Since the indoor return air temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and air supply duration are combined to determine whether to control the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode, the accuracy of controlling the air conditioner to enter the anti-condensation mode is improved. Furthermore, by turning on the air conditioner's compressor and outdoor fan, or by turning on the air conditioner's outdoor fan alone, the corresponding electronic components can be controlled to start and operate, generating heat and increasing the temperature of the electronic component cavity where the electronic components are located.

[0078] In this embodiment, the circulating fan is turned on when the second operating parameters of the air conditioner meet the second preset condition, so as to remove the heat generated during the start-up and operation of the electronic device to the outside of the air duct inside the air conditioner, thus ensuring the normal operation of the electronic device; and the air conditioner is controlled to exit the anti-condensation mode when the operating parameters of the operating component meet the third preset condition, thereby achieving accurate control of the air conditioner to exit the anti-condensation mode.

Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner 500 includes a controller 501 and a memory 502. The controller 501 and the memory 502 are electrically connected.

[0080] The control device 501 is the control center of the air conditioner 500 and may include one or more processing cores.

It is understood that the modem may also not be integrated into the control device 501 and may be implemented separately through a communication chip.

[0081] The memory 502 can be used to store software programs and modules. The controller 501 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs and modules stored in the memory 502. The memory 502 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, computer programs required for at least one function, etc.; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the air conditioner 500, etc.

[0082] Furthermore, memory 502 may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device. Accordingly, memory 502 may also include a memory controller to provide control device 501 with access to memory 502.

[0094] Start the air conditioner compressor and outdoor fan; or,

[0095] Turn on the outdoor fan of the air conditioner.

[0096] Optionally, after controlling the air conditioner to enter anti-condensation mode and starting the air conditioner's operating components, the controller 501 also performs the following:

[0097] When the operating parameters of the running components meet the third preset condition, the air conditioner is controlled to exit the anti-condensation mode.

[0098] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner enters the air supply mode, the first operating parameters of the air conditioner in the air supply mode are acquired. Then, when the first operating parameters meet the first preset condition, the air conditioner is controlled to enter the anti-condensation mode, and the operating components of the air conditioner are turned on.
