Abstract
Disclosed are a control method and a control device of an apparatus and an apparatus using the control device. The control method includes: detecting whether an outdoor unit of the apparatus enters a standby state; and controlling the outdoor unit to enter a low power consumption mode for controlling a drive of the outdoor unit to be powered off after detecting that the outdoor unit enters the standby state.
Claims12
A control method of an apparatus, comprising:
- detecting whether an outdoor unit of the apparatus enters a standby state;
- controlling the outdoor unit to enter a low power consumption mode for controlling a drive of the outdoor unit to be powered off after detecting that the outdoor unit enters the standby state, wherein the controlling the outdoor unit to enter a low power consumption mode comprises:
- controlling a power supply load of the outdoor unit to be disconnected;
- controlling a power switch of the outdoor unit to be disconnected;
- the control method further comprises:
- detecting whether the power switch of the outdoor unit is disconnected after controlling the power switch of the outdoor unit to be disconnected;
- and
- controlling a power supply of the drive of the outdoor unit to be disconnected after detecting that the power switch of the outdoor unit is disconnected, comprising controlling a power switch of the drive to be disconnected and stopping supplying power to a drive load and a drive MCU power supply source after detecting that the power switch of the drive is disconnected;
- and
- detecting states of the power switch of the outdoor unit and the power switch of the drive;
- and
- when at least one of the power switch of the outdoor unit or the power switch of the drive is in an on state, supplying power to the outdoor unit, the drive load and the drive MCU power supply source, to control the outdoor unit to enter a normal working mode.
