The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and provides a control method of an
elevator air conditioner and the
elevator air conditioner, the control method of the
elevator air conditioner comprising: in response to an elevator door opening
signal, acquiring the body temperature of a person entering the elevator; determining that the body temperature of the person is greater than or equal to a preset temperature, then controlling a fan of the elevator air conditioner to stop running, and controlling an
ultraviolet disinfection device to disinfect the air in the elevator for a preset time length after all the persons in the elevator leave the elevator. When the person enters the elevator, the temperature detection device acquires the body temperature of the person in time, if the body temperature of the person exceeds the preset temperature, the air in the elevator has the risk of influenza transmission, the fan of the elevator air conditioner is controlled to be closed in time, and the speed of air flow in the elevator is slowed down. After all the persons in the elevator leave the elevator, the air in the elevator is disinfected in time by the
ultraviolet disinfection device, so that the subsequent passengers are prevented from contacting the air possibly carrying the influenza
virus, and the risk of influenza transmission is reduced.
