Remote upgrading system for central air conditioner

Abstract

The invention discloses a remote upgrading system for a central air conditioner. The remote upgrading system comprises at least one outdoor unit, at least one indoor unit, gateway equipment, at least one networking wire controller, a cloud platform, an APP side and a WEB management platform. The at least one indoor unit is included. The gateway equipment is included. All the wire controllers are connected with the indoor units. The cloud platform is in communication connection with the gateway equipment. The APP side interacts with the cloud platform. The WEB management platform can configure an upgrade package and an upgrade strategy for remotely upgrading the outdoor units, the indoor units, the gateway equipment and the networking wire controllers, and the upgrade strategy comprises a software identification number and a software version number. The cloud platform obtains an equipment strategy data List. The APP side outputs an upgrading interface according to the List and the priority sequence of the to-be-upgraded devices. The equipment strategy data List at least comprises an equipment identifier, an equipment type, an upgrading identifier and an upgrading strategy list. According to the system, the WEB management platform is matched with the cloud platform and the APP so that the to-be-upgraded devices can be flexibly, actively and orderly upgraded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of central air conditioners, in particular to a remote upgrade system for central air conditioners. Background technique [0002] Central air-conditioning products, especially multi-connected units, which include multiple indoor units for adjusting indoor air and outdoor units connected to multiple indoor units and capable of controlling the indoor units. When users input commands, multiple indoor units and outdoor units Each component can be controlled to perform corresponding operations according to its own software. [0003] Central air-conditioning products have a long cycle, especially multi-connected, and different types of models can be freely matched. New models may be used with old models at the same time, so the requirements for software compatibility are particularly high. [0004] Many existing air conditioners have added networking functions, and generally the firmware of the WiFi module, SOC, ...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] When there is an upgrade demand, the server will first send the upgrade package to the indoor unit WiFi, and then the indoor unit WiFi will flash and upgrade the software in the MCU of the indoor unit main board; And because the existing air conditioners can be connected to the cloud platform through the gateway, the indoor unit can be upgraded relying on the gateway or the networked wire controller. In this way, not only more equipment software needs to be upgraded, but also may cause confusion in the upgrade of the indoor unit, resulting in Indoor unit upgrade failed
