[0041] Fig. 4 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a cabinet air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 4 , the method may include at least steps S402 to S406.

[0042] Step S402: After the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is turned on and operates in the initial operation mode for a first preset time, the human body temperature of the environment where the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is located is periodically obtained.

[0043] Among them, the first preset duration can be selected as 20 minutes.

[0044] The periodic acquisition of the human body temperature in the environment where the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is located may be performed by acquiring the human body temperature in the environment where the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is located every five minutes.

[0045] The acquired human body temperature may be a preset human body temperature.

[0046] It should be noted that the first preset duration and the cycle duration can be set according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0047] Step S404: When the human body temperature is within the first temperature range for a second preset time period, the air conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the first direct blow prevention mode.

[0048] The first temperature range may be 36°C to 36.5°C. A human body temperature in this range indicates a relatively low human body temperature.

[0049] Among them, the second preset time length can be optionally 10 minutes.

[0050] It should be noted that the first temperature range and the second preset time can be set according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0051] Step S406: When the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for the third consecutive preset time period, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the second anti-direct blowing mode, wherein the third preset time period is greater than the second preset time period, and the air output per unit time of the air-conditioning cabinet 10 in the first anti-direct blowing mode is greater than the air output per unit time in the second anti-direct blowing mode.

[0052] Among them, the third preset time length can be selected as 20 minutes.

[0053] The first preset duration may be selected to be equal to the third preset duration.

[0054] It should be noted that the third preset duration can be set according to actual conditions, and the present invention does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the air conditioning cabinet 10 is turned on and operates in the initial operating mode for a first preset time, it begins to periodically obtain the human body temperature of the environment in which the air conditioning cabinet 10 is located. When the human body temperature remains within the first temperature range for a second consecutive preset time, the air conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the first anti-direct blowing mode; when the human body temperature remains within the first temperature range for a third consecutive preset time, the air conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the second anti-direct blowing mode, wherein the third preset time is greater than the second preset time, and the air volume per unit time of the air conditioning cabinet 10 in the first anti-direct blowing mode is greater than the air volume per unit time in the second anti-direct blowing mode. Based on the technical solution provided by the present invention, the operating mode of the air-conditioning cabinet is adjusted according to the continuous length of human body temperature. Compared with adjusting the air-conditioning cabinet 10 according to the human body temperature at a certain moment, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 can provide accurate anti-direct blowing service, thereby improving user experience. In addition, when the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for a continuous length of time that is a shorter second preset length of time, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the first anti-direct blowing mode with a relatively high air volume per unit time; when the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for a continuous length of time that is a longer third preset length of time, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the second anti-direct blowing mode with a relatively low air volume per unit time, thereby minimizing the impact of the air-conditioning air outlet on the human body and improving user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the periodic acquisition of the human body temperature in the environment where the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is located mentioned in step S402 includes: periodically acquiring the human body temperature in the environment where the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is located detected by a temperature detection device provided on the air-conditioning cabinet 10.

[0057] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the angles of the vertical guide plates of an air conditioning cabinet 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5 , when the vertical guide plates are in position 51, the vertical guide plates are closed. When the vertical guide plates are in position 52, the vertical guide plates are opened to a first air outlet angle, which is the maximum air outlet angle. At the first air outlet angle, the vertical guide plates are perpendicular to the vertical guide plates in the closed position.

[0058] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating the positions of the swing vane 400 of the air conditioning cabinet 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 6 , when the swing vane 400 is in position 61, the swing vane 400 is closed. When the swing vane 400 is in position 62, it is opened to the first air outlet position, discharging air upward. When the swing vane 400 is in position 63, it is opened to the second air outlet position, discharging air horizontally.

[0059] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, in some embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned step S404 includes: controlling the upper vertical guide plate 200 of the air-conditioning cabinet 10 to open to a first air outlet angle, closing the lower vertical guide plate 300, and opening the horizontal swing blade 400 to a first air outlet position, wherein the first air outlet angle is the maximum air outlet angle, and the first air outlet position corresponds to an upward air outlet direction.

[0060] Controlling the lower vertical guide plate 300 to close prevents direct airflow onto the human body. Controlling the upper vertical guide plate 200 to open to the first airflow angle, i.e., the maximum airflow angle, ensures the cooling effect of the cabinet air conditioner 10. Controlling the horizontal swing blade 400 to open to the first airflow position, which corresponds to an upward airflow direction, also prevents direct airflow onto the human body. Overall, this ensures the cooling effect while also preventing direct airflow.

[0061] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, in some embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned step S406 of controlling the air-conditioning cabinet 10 to operate in the second anti-direct blowing mode includes: controlling the upper vertical guide plate 200 and the lower vertical guide plate 300 of the air-conditioning cabinet 10 to close, and the horizontal swing blade 400 to open to the second air outlet position, and the second air outlet position corresponds to the horizontal air outlet direction.

[0062] For people with poor physical fitness, the body temperature may be in the first temperature range for the third consecutive preset period of time. In this case, the upper vertical guide plate 200 and the lower vertical guide plate 300 are controlled to be closed, and the horizontal leaf 400 is opened to the horizontal position, so that the air-conditioning cabinet 10 operates in the second anti-direct blowing mode, so that wind can flow out from the gaps between the vertical guide plates. Compared with the first anti-direct blowing mode, the air output per unit time is less, and the cooling demand of the air-conditioning cabinet can be guaranteed to a certain extent, thereby realizing precise anti-direct blowing of the air-conditioning cabinet and improving the user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: when the human body temperature is in the second temperature range for a fourth consecutive preset period of time, controlling the air-conditioning cabinet 10 to operate in an initial operating mode, wherein the temperatures in the second temperature range are greater than the temperatures in the first temperature range.

[0064] The second temperature range may be 36.5°C to 37°C.

[0065] The fourth preset duration may be selected to be equal to the first preset duration.

[0066] The second temperature range corresponds to a temperature that is comfortable for the user. Therefore, when the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is in the second temperature range for a fourth preset time period, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the initial operation mode.

[0067] The present invention proposes an air-conditioning cabinet 10 and its control method and control device. In the method proposed by the present invention, after the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is turned on and operates in the initial operation mode for the first preset time, it starts to periodically obtain the human body temperature of the environment where the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is located. When the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for the second preset time, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the first anti-direct blowing mode; when the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for the third preset time, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 is controlled to operate in the second anti-direct blowing mode, wherein the third preset time is greater than the second preset time, and the air volume per unit time of the air-conditioning cabinet 10 in the first anti-direct blowing mode is greater than the air volume per unit time in the second anti-direct blowing mode. Based on the technical solution provided by the present invention, the operating mode of the air-conditioning cabinet is adjusted according to the human body temperature for a continuous time. Compared with adjusting the air-conditioning cabinet 10 according to the human body temperature at a certain moment, the air-conditioning cabinet 10 can provide accurate anti-direct blowing service, thereby improving the user experience.

[0068] Furthermore, the present invention controls the air-conditioning cabinet 10 to operate in a first anti-direct blowing mode with a relatively high air volume per unit time when the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for a shorter second preset time; and controls the air-conditioning cabinet 10 to operate in a second anti-direct blowing mode with a relatively low air volume per unit time when the human body temperature is in the first temperature range for a longer third preset time, thereby minimizing the impact of the air-conditioning air on the human body and improving the user experience.

[0069] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or deduced from the contents disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
