Embodiment 1

[0028] In the preferred embodiment 1 of the present invention, a billing system is provided, which can be directly applied to various household billing units, such as multi-connected air-conditioning units, specifically, figure 1 A schematic diagram showing an optional structure of the system, such as figure 1 As shown, the system includes:

[0029] Controller, intelligent interactive device;

[0030] The controller includes a master controller and a slave controller, both of which are connected with the power consumption unit and the intelligent interactive device; wherein,

[0031] The main controller is used for the household billing of the power consumption unit, and uploads the household billing data to the intelligent interactive device during normal operation;

[0032] The slave controller is used to synchronize with the master controller to carry out the household billing of the power consumption unit, and when the master controller operates abnormally, it operates a...

Embodiment 2

[0050] Based on the billing system provided in Embodiment 1 above, a billing system control method is also provided in Preferred Embodiment 2 of the present invention, specifically, figure 2 An alternative flowchart showing the method, such as figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps S202-S206:

[0051] S202: Obtain the operating data of the master controller and the slave controller;

[0052] S204: judging the running states of the master controller and the slave controller according to the running data;

[0053] S206: Determine the household billing data of the power consumption unit according to the operating states of the master controller and the slave controller.

[0054] In the above implementation manner, a dual-controller scheme is adopted, and a master-slave controller is used to charge and share the energy consumption of the multi-connected units at the same time. In the case of abnormal operation of the master controller, the slave controller...

Embodiment 3

[0090] Based on the billing system control method provided in Embodiment 1 above, in preferred Embodiment 3 of the present invention, a storage medium containing computer-executable instructions is also provided, and when the computer-executable instructions are executed by a computer processor It is used to implement the above charging system control method.

[0091] In the above implementation manner, a dual-controller scheme is adopted, and a master-slave controller is used to charge and share the energy consumption of the multi-connected units at the same time. In the case of abnormal operation of the master controller, the slave controller is automatically converted to the master controller. Simultaneous billing by two controllers avoids the situation that abnormal operation of a single controller leads to abnormal charging allocation of the multi-line household billing system, and effectively improves the reliability of the multi-line household billing system.

Abstract

The invention discloses a billing system with double controllers and a control method thereof, wherein the system comprises controllers and an intelligent interaction device, the controllers comprisea master controller and a slave controller, and the master controller and the slave controller are connected with a power consumption unit and the intelligent interaction device; the main controller is used for carrying out household charging of a power consumption unit and uploading the household charging data to the intelligent interaction device during normal operation, and the slave controlleris used for carrying out household charging of the power consumption unit synchronously with the master controller and operating as the master controller when the master controller operates abnormally. According to the invention, the problem that household charging cannot be carried out when a single controller is abnormal in the prior art is solved, and the reliability of the multi-split household charging system is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a billing system with dual controllers and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The multi-connected household billing system is a device for calculating and apportioning electricity charges for multi-connected air conditioners. At present, the mainstream multi-connected household billing system mostly uses controllers to collect air-conditioning operation data, electric meter power data collection and billing processing, and then through The smart device displays the energy consumption information of the multi-connected unit. [0003] Wherein, the controller is a software and hardware device. During use, the controller cannot work normally due to abnormal software operation, hardware damage or aging. Abnormal operation of the controller can lead to abnormal billing allocation of the multi-line household billing system, which will cause great losses to...
