In an embodiment, the control module 4 may comprise a setting unit 41 that is used to set the critical temperature of the duct modules 1, and output a corresponding first control signal to the temperature adjusting units 11 or the first airflow guiding units 12, and the temperature adjusting units 11 or the first airflow guiding units 12 will then execute the on-off operations or the configurations according to the first control signal.

FIG. 5 shows an operation flow chart of the air conditioning device according to the present disclosure. For the air conditioning device according to the present inventing having a plurality of duct modules 1, the distribution of the running efficiency of the duct modules 1 determines the overall output efficiency of the air conditioning device according to the present disclosure to a large extent. That is, the air conditioning device according to the present disclosure can reach a maximum cooling efficiency under the condition of the fixed energy load. Steps S1 to S11 are illustrated for two duct modules 1A and 1B, but the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and one of ordinary skill in the art can readily infer the operation of more than two duct modules 1.

In step S1, a critical temperature of the two duct modules 1A and 1B that is the desired temperature value of the duct modules 1 in operation is set by the setting unit 41, and the temperature adjusting units 11 and the first airflow guiding units 12 of the duct modules 1 are started. Then steps S2 and S3 are executed, in which the first airflow guiding units 12A and 12B of the duct modules 1A and 1B are adjusted for low load (for example, 30% of the load, the speed of the fan is lower) or zero load by the control module 4, and the two duct modules are performing a cold storage process. The control module 4 not only controls the opening or closing of the airflow generated by the first airflow guiding unit 12, but also adjusts the strength of the airflow by using a variable frequency motor.

Then steps S4 to S7 are executed, in which the real-time temperature of the duct modules 1A and 1B through the detection module 5 are detected. When the real-time temperature of the duct module 1A is lower than or equal to the critical value of the critical temperature of cooling, the first airflow guiding unit 12A is switched to high load (for example, 70% of the load, the speed of the fan is higher) or full load by the control module 4, so as to make the duct module 1A perform a cold scattering process. The detection module 5 will not perform the first temperature detection for the duct module 1B, which makes the duct module 1B continue to perform the cold storage process, in order to stagger the working sequence of the duct module 1A. When the real-time temperature of the duct module 1B is higher than or equal to the critical value of the critical temperature of cold scattering, the first airflow guiding unit 12B is switched to low load or zero load by the control module 4.

Then steps S8 to S11 are executed, in which steps S8 and S9 repeat steps S4 and S5 of detecting the real-time temperature of the duct modules 1A and 1B by the detection module 5, respectively. When the real-time temperature of the duct module 1A is higher than or equal to the critical value of the critical temperature of cold scattering, the first airflow guiding unit 12A is switched to low load or zero load by the control module 4, so as to make the duct module 1A perform the process of cold storage. When the real-time temperature of the duct module 1B is lower than or equal to the critical value of the critical temperature of cooling, the first airflow guiding unit 12B is switched to high load or full load by the control module 4, to make the duct module 1B perform the cold scattering process.

Through this repeated cycle of alternate cooling, the output of the air conditioning device can be maintained in a low temperature, and energy is saved effectively. Besides, the control module 4 can control the load of the first airflow guiding unit 12, and adjust the load of the temperature adjusting unit 11, through the concept of effective allocation to enhance the efficiency of cooling or heating.
