Example Embodiment

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, but not to limit the present application.
[0044] In one embodiment, a multi-connection group control method is provided, and the multi-connection group control method can be applied in such as figure 1 In the application environment shown, it is realized based on the multi-line group control system. The multi-connection group control system can be understood as a website deployed in the user's computer, and the multi-connection group control method of the present application can be implemented by installing the multi-connection group control system in the computer. It can be understood that the multi-connection group control method can also be implemented by other smart devices, as long as those skilled in the art think it can be implemented. The multi-connection group control method can be used to control the multi-connection group, and the multi-connection group includes but is not limited to air-conditioning multi-connection and the like. Generally speaking, a multi-connection group includes a unit, a controller and an information forwarding device. The information forwarding device includes a router or a switch, etc., and the unit includes more than two unit devices. One controller is connected to one or more unit devices. The number is generally more than two. Each controller is used to obtain the information of the connected equipment and send it to the information forwarding device. The information forwarding device can realize data transmission between the controller and the host computer and other equipment, and connect multiple controllers to the same local area network. For example, the information from the controller can be forwarded to the upper computer, and the instructions sent by the upper computer can also be transmitted to the controller to realize the control of the unit equipment. See figure 2 , the multi-connection group control method includes the following steps:
[0045] Step S200: Acquire schedule reservation information and target energy consumption of target devices in the multi-connection group.
[0046]Specifically, the schedule reservation information includes time information, and the time information may be time information, duration information, time period information, or the like. The schedule reservation information may also include target mode information, etc., and the target mode information is the desired operation mode of the multi-connection group, such as cooling or cooling, and may also include target temperature and the like. The target device in the multi-connection group refers to the device that needs to be controlled or monitored. Generally speaking, the multi-connection group includes multiple devices, and the target device can be some or all of the devices in the multi-connection group, which is determined according to user needs. The target energy consumption refers to the expected energy consumption, which can be a specific energy consumption value or a range of energy consumption values.
[0047] The schedule reservation information, target equipment and target energy consumption can all be set by the user, and the user can set the schedule reservation information, target equipment and target energy consumption that can meet the needs for subsequent use. In this embodiment, the multi-connection group control method is implemented based on the multi-connection group control system, and the multi-connection group is an air conditioner unit. The group control system obtains the schedule reservation information. For example: when the user goes to work at 8:30 and gets off work at 11:30, the air conditioner can be set to turn on at 8:20, the mode is set to cool, the temperature is 27 degrees, and the air conditioner can be set to turn off at 11:20. Then, the user can enter the energy-saving control function interface of the multi-connection group control system, and can set the target energy consumption of the target device. For example, set the power consumption of the air conditioners in rooms 101 to 110 to be within 500kw*h. Further, the user can also set the target energy consumption of the specified equipment in a fixed period, and the multi-connection group control system obtains the target energy consumption of the specified equipment in the fixed period, and the fixed period is not unique. For example, from Monday to Friday, the power consumption of the air conditioners in rooms 101 to 110 is controlled within 500kw*h.
[0048] Step S400: Allocate the target energy consumption to the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information to obtain the target energy consumption.
[0049] The time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information may be a whole time period, or may include two or more sub-time periods. When the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information is an overall period of time, the target energy consumption is the target power consumption of the overall period of time. When the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information includes more than two sub time periods, the target energy consumption is allocated to each sub time period, and the target power consumption in each sub time period is obtained. The allocation method is not unique. The target energy consumption can be evenly allocated to each sub-time period, or different energy consumption can be allocated to each sub-time period according to the usage and demand, and the target power consumption corresponding to each sub-time period can be The amount can be the same, partially different, or totally different, and the specific amount can be selected according to the actual situation, as long as those skilled in the art think it can be achieved.
[0050] Step S600: According to the preset device parameters of the target device, obtain the simulated power consumption in the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information.
[0051] The preset device parameters refer to parameters that have been pre-configured or set, and the preset device parameters are parameters that affect power consumption. In this embodiment, the preset device parameters may include the capacity of the indoor and outdoor units of the multi-connection group, such as the capacity of the indoor and outdoor air conditioners, and may also include the preset duration, mode, temperature, and the like. Taking the multi-connection unit as an air-conditioning unit as an example, obtain the parameters of the air-conditioning cooling capacity, outdoor unit capacity, compressor power, set operation time, operation mode, set temperature, etc., and then calculate the simulation energy through thermodynamics and refrigeration formulas. consumption. This simulated power consumption can be used as simulated power consumption.
[0052] Further, according to the different time periods corresponding to the schedule reservation information, the methods of obtaining the simulated power consumption are also different. After obtaining the simulated power consumption calculated according to the preset device parameters, the simulated power consumption can be allocated to the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information to obtain the simulated power consumption. The time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information may be a whole time period, or may include two or more sub-time periods. When the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information is a whole time period, the simulated power consumption is the simulated power consumption of the whole time period. When the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information includes two or more sub-time periods, the simulated power consumption is allocated to each sub-time period, and the simulated power consumption in each sub-time period is obtained. The distribution method is not unique. The simulated energy consumption can be evenly distributed to each sub-time period, or different energy consumption can be allocated to each sub-time period according to the usage and demand, and the simulated power consumption corresponding to each sub-time period The amount can be the same, partially different, or totally different, and the specific amount can be selected according to the actual situation, as long as those skilled in the art think it can be achieved.
[0053] Step S800: when the target power consumption is greater than the simulated power consumption, send two or more types of adjustable parameters to the information prompt module for prompting, and after receiving the user confirmation instruction, adjust the adjustable parameters corresponding to the user confirmation instruction. parameters are adjusted to reduce the target power consumption.
[0054] In this embodiment, the target power consumption and the simulated power consumption may both be the corresponding power consumption when the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information is a whole time period. When the target power consumption is greater than the simulated power consumption, consider that the energy consumption required by the user exceeds the energy consumption generated by the multi-connection group in the standard state. At this time, two or more types of adjustable parameters are sent to the information prompt module for Prompt, provide users with a variety of energy-saving solutions for users to choose. The types of information prompt modules are not unique, and the corresponding prompt methods are also different. In this embodiment, taking the information prompt module as the display interface as an example, the energy saving solution including the adjustable parameters can be displayed in the form of graphs or text, and the displayed content is accurate and intuitive. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the information prompting module can also be of other types, such as a voice prompting module for prompting convenience, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0055] After receiving the prompt information, the user selects an energy-saving plan according to their own needs and other factors, and sends a confirmation instruction. After receiving the user's confirmation command, the multi-connection group control system adjusts the adjustable parameters corresponding to the user's confirmation command to reduce the target power consumption. In order to improve the energy saving effect, prompts can be given for many times or for a long time, and the adjustable parameters can be adjusted many times until the target power consumption after adjustment is less than or equal to the simulated power consumption, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the unit and reducing the waste of energy consumption. Adjustable parameters are parameters that can affect the energy consumption of the multi-connection group. There are more than two types of adjustable parameters, and at least two energy-saving schemes can be provided to users. By adjusting any one of the parameters, the energy-saving effect can be achieved.
[0056] In this embodiment, taking the adjustable parameters including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction of the air outlet as an example, when the target power consumption is greater than the simulated power consumption, the system will analyze the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction of the air outlet from multiple dimensions such as Customize different energy-saving control schemes. For example, when an air conditioner is used in a non-closed space and the difference between the set temperature and the outdoor temperature is large, the indoor ambient temperature cannot reach the set temperature of the air conditioner. The lowest temperature that can be achieved, change the set temperature to reduce the operating frequency of the compressor to achieve the effect of energy saving. A variety of energy-saving solutions can meet different user usage scenarios. For example, if the user needs to keep the temperature unchanged, it is acceptable to reduce the ambient humidity, or if the user needs to maintain the ambient humidity, the energy consumption can be reduced by adjusting the set temperature and wind speed. Choose an energy-saving solution based on actual needs. After the user selects the energy-saving plan, the multi-connection group control system receives the user's confirmation command, and adjusts the adjustable parameters in the energy-saving plan according to the energy-saving plan corresponding to the user's confirmation command to reduce the target power consumption and achieve the simulated power consumption. amount to meet the target power consumption.
[0057] In one embodiment, see image 3 , after step S600, the multi-connection group control method further includes steps S710 and S720.
[0058] Step S710: When the target power consumption is less than or equal to the simulated power consumption, obtain the actual power consumption of the target device.
[0059] When the target power consumption is less than or equal to the simulated power consumption, consider that the energy consumption generated by the multi-connection group in the standard state can meet the energy consumption required by the user. At this time, the actual power consumption of the target device is obtained. Power consumption is monitored to achieve better energy saving effect. Specifically, the actual power consumption can be obtained by obtaining the working parameters of the target equipment, such as compressor operating power, operating time, operating mode and set temperature, etc., and then calculating the actual power consumption of the target equipment according to thermodynamics and refrigeration formulas, etc. quantity.
[0060] Step S720: When the actual power consumption is greater than the target power consumption, send two or more types of adjustable parameters to the information prompt module for prompting, and after receiving the user confirmation instruction, adjust the adjustable parameters corresponding to the user confirmation instruction. parameters are adjusted to reduce the actual power consumption.
[0061] When the actual power consumption is greater than the target power consumption, it is considered that the current energy consumption of the target device is relatively high and the work is not energy-saving. At this time, two or more types of adjustable parameters are sent to the information prompting module for prompting, and a variety of energy-saving solutions are provided for the user to choose from. After receiving the prompt information, the user selects an energy-saving plan according to their own needs and other factors, and sends a confirmation instruction. After receiving the user's confirmation command, the multi-connection group control system adjusts the adjustable parameters corresponding to the user's confirmation command to reduce the actual power consumption. In order to improve the energy-saving effect, prompts can be given multiple times or for a long time, and the adjustable parameters can be adjusted multiple times until the actual power consumption after adjustment is less than or equal to the target power consumption, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the unit and reducing energy consumption waste. Adjustable parameters are parameters that can affect the energy consumption of the multi-connection group. There are more than two types of adjustable parameters, and at least two energy-saving schemes can be provided to users. By adjusting any one of the parameters, the energy-saving effect can be achieved.
[0062] In one embodiment, see image 3 , after step S710, the multi-connection group control method further includes step S730.
[0063] Step S730: Send the actual power consumption and the target power consumption to the information prompting module for prompting.
[0064] After obtaining the actual power consumption of the target device, the actual power consumption and the target power consumption are sent to the information prompt module for prompting, so that the user can know the actual power consumption and the target power consumption in time. Or when the target power consumption is adjusted, it can also be adjusted in time, which is convenient to use. Further, when the actual power consumption is less than or equal to the target power consumption, the actual power consumption and the target power consumption may be sent to the information prompting module for prompting. Since the actual power consumption is adjusted when the actual power consumption is greater than the target power consumption, the actual power consumption can be temporarily not prompted or less prompted, thereby reducing the workload of the information prompting module and simplifying the prompt content.
[0065] The types of information prompt modules are not unique, and the corresponding prompt methods are also different. In this embodiment, taking the information prompt module as the display interface as an example, the energy saving solution including the adjustable parameters can be displayed in the form of graphs or text, and the displayed content is accurate and intuitive. Scalable, the multi-connection group control system can also generate a power consumption distribution map according to the actual power consumption, target power consumption and schedule reservation information. The actual power consumption can be intuitively provided to the user through the power consumption distribution map for analyzing the schedule. The user can also change the relevant parameters according to the reasonable situation of reservation and energy saving control to make the parameter setting more reasonable. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the information prompting module can also be of other types, such as a voice prompting module, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0066] In one embodiment, see image 3 , after step S600, the multi-connection group control method further includes step S810.
[0067] Step S810: Send the target power consumption and the simulated power consumption to the information prompting module for prompting.
[0068]After obtaining the simulated power consumption and target power consumption, the target power consumption and simulated power consumption are sent to the information prompt module for prompting, so that the user can know the target power consumption and simulated power consumption in time. When the power is adjusted, it can also be adjusted in time, which is convenient to use. Further, when the target power consumption is less than or equal to the simulated power consumption, the target power consumption and the simulated power consumption may be sent to the information prompting module for prompting. Since the target power consumption is adjusted when the target power consumption is greater than the simulated power consumption, the target power consumption can be temporarily not prompted or less prompted, thereby reducing the workload of the information prompting module and simplifying the prompt content.
[0069] The types of information prompt modules are not unique, and the corresponding prompt methods are also different. In this embodiment, taking the information prompt module as the display interface as an example, the energy saving solution including the adjustable parameters can be displayed in the form of graphs or text, and the displayed content is accurate and intuitive. Scalable, the multi-line group control system can also generate a power consumption distribution map according to the target power consumption, simulated power consumption and schedule reservation information. Through the energy consumption distribution map, it can intuitively provide how much power is required for the reservation plan, and the standard work of the unit. It is used to analyze the reasonable situation of schedule reservation and energy-saving control. Users can also change the relevant parameters accordingly to make the parameter settings more reasonable. It can be understood that, in other embodiments, the information prompting module can also be of other types, such as a voice prompting module, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs.
[0070] In one embodiment, the time period corresponding to the schedule appointment information includes more than two sub-time periods, please refer to Figure 4 , step S400 includes step S410, and step S600 includes step S610.
[0071] Step S410: Allocate the target energy consumption to each sub-time period, and obtain the target power consumption in each sub-time period.
[0072] When the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information includes more than two sub time periods, the target energy consumption is allocated to each sub time period, and the target power consumption in each sub time period is obtained. The allocation method is not unique. The target energy consumption can be evenly allocated to each sub-time period, or different energy consumption can be allocated to each sub-time period according to the usage and demand, and the target power consumption corresponding to each sub-time period can be The amount can be the same, partially different, or totally different, and the specific amount can be selected according to the actual situation, as long as those skilled in the art think it can be achieved.
[0073] Step S610: Obtain the simulated power consumption in each sub-time period according to the preset device parameters of the target device.
[0074] Specifically, after obtaining the simulated energy consumption calculated according to the preset device parameters, the simulated energy consumption can be allocated to the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information to obtain the simulated power consumption. When the time period corresponding to the schedule reservation information includes more than two sub time periods, the simulated power consumption is allocated to each sub time period, and the simulated power consumption in each sub time period is obtained. The distribution method is not unique. The simulated energy consumption can be evenly distributed to each sub-time period, or different energy consumption can be allocated to each sub-time period according to the usage and demand, and the simulated power consumption corresponding to each sub-time period The amount can be the same, partially different, or totally different, and the specific amount can be selected according to the actual situation, as long as those skilled in the art think it can be achieved.
[0075] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 , after step S610, the multi-connection group control method further includes step S620.
[0076] Step S620 : when the target power consumption corresponding to the same sub-period is less than the simulated power consumption, allocate the difference value between the simulated power consumption and the target power consumption corresponding to the same sub-period to other corresponding sub-periods. target power consumption.
[0077] Specifically, when the corresponding target power consumption in the same sub-period is less than the simulated power consumption, it is already a relatively energy-saving solution to consider the allocated power consumption in the current sub-period. At this time, the difference between the simulated power consumption and the target power consumption corresponding to the sub-period is allocated to the corresponding power consumption in other sub-periods to ensure that the multi-connection group in other sub-periods also has sufficient target power consumption It is beneficial to improve the working performance of the multi-connection group. The difference value can be the difference value, or the difference value minus the allowable floating value, etc., leaving a certain margin for the target power consumption to ensure the working effect of the multi-connection group. Further, when the difference value is allocated to the corresponding target power consumption in other sub-time periods, there are various allocation methods. For example, the difference value can be evenly allocated to the corresponding target power consumption in other sub-time periods, or according to the usage and demand, different power consumption can be added to other sub-time periods, and the target power consumption of each sub-time period can be increased. The power consumption can be the same, partially different, or totally different, and can be selected according to the actual situation, as long as those skilled in the art think it can be realized.
[0078] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 , after step S610, the multi-connection group control method further includes steps S630 and S640.
[0079] Step S630: When the corresponding target power consumption in the same sub-period is less than the simulated power consumption, obtain the actual power consumption of the target device in the same sub-period.
[0080] When the corresponding target power consumption in the same sub-time period is less than the simulated power consumption, consider that in the current sub-time period, the energy consumption generated by the multi-connection group in the standard state can meet the energy consumption required by the user. The actual power consumption of the target device in the same sub-time period, and the actual power consumption of the device is monitored to achieve a better energy-saving effect. Specifically, the actual power consumption can be obtained by obtaining the working parameters of the target equipment, such as compressor operating power, operating time, operating mode and set temperature, etc., and then calculating the actual power consumption of the target equipment according to thermodynamics and refrigeration formulas, etc. quantity.
[0081] Step S640: When the actual power consumption corresponding to the same sub-period is less than the target power consumption, allocate the difference value between the target power consumption and the actual power consumption corresponding to the same sub-period to the corresponding values ​​in other sub-periods. target power consumption.
[0082] Specifically, when the corresponding actual power consumption in the same sub-period is less than the target power consumption, it is a relatively energy-saving solution to consider the actual power consumption in the current sub-period. At this time, the difference between the target power consumption corresponding to the sub-period and the actual power consumption is allocated to the target power consumption corresponding to other sub-periods to ensure that the multi-connection group in other sub-periods also has sufficient target power consumption power, which is beneficial to improve the working performance of the multi-connection group. The difference value can be the difference value, or the difference value minus the allowable floating value, etc., leaving a certain margin for the actual power consumption, which can better consider the fluctuation of the work of the multi-connection group and ensure the work of the multi-connection group. Effect. Further, when the difference value is allocated to the corresponding target power consumption in other sub-time periods, there are various allocation methods. For example, the difference value can be evenly allocated to the corresponding target power consumption in other sub-time periods, or different target power consumption can be added for each other sub-time period according to the usage and demand. The target power consumption may be the same, partially different, or totally different, and may be selected according to the actual situation, as long as those skilled in the art consider it achievable.
[0083] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 , before step S200, the multi-connection group control method further includes step S100.
[0084] Step S100: In the multi-connection group, acquire the target device that has established a connection.
[0085] Specifically, after the user installs the multi-connection group control system software, the multi-connection group control system software connects to the intelligent controllers in the multi-connection group, obtains the target devices that have established connections in the multi-connection group, and searches the multi-connection device to the software interface. At this point, the user can already monitor the device status, which is convenient for subsequent operations.
[0086] In one embodiment, the adjustable parameters include at least one of temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction of the air outlet.
[0087] Specifically, the adjustable parameters may include one, two, three or all of temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction of the air outlet, and the adjustable parameters may also include other types of parameters, which can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, taking the adjustable parameters including temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction of the air outlet as an example, when the target power consumption is greater than the simulated power consumption, the system will analyze the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and direction of the air outlet from multiple dimensions such as Customize different energy-saving control schemes. For example, when the air conditioner is used in a non-closed space and the difference between the set temperature and the outdoor temperature is large, when the indoor ambient temperature cannot reach the set temperature of the air conditioner, you can find the current temperature from the temperature, humidity, wind speed, and air outlet direction, etc. The lowest temperature that the environment can reach, by changing the set temperature to reduce the operating frequency of the compressor to achieve the effect of energy saving.
[0088] In order to better understand the above-mentioned embodiments, detailed explanations are given below with reference to a specific embodiment. In one embodiment, the multi-connection group control method is implemented based on a multi-connection group control system, and the multi-connection group is an air-conditioning unit as an example, please refer to Figure 5 , the multi-connection group control method includes the following steps:
[0089] Step 1: After the user installs the multi-connection group control system software, connect to the intelligent controller in the multi-connection group, and search the multi-connection device on the software interface. At this time, the user can monitor the device status. The multi-connection group control system can be understood as a website deployed on the user's computer, which needs to be installed on the user's computer before it can be used. The multi-line group control system is displayed on the user interface, which can be connected to multiple controllers through the router to monitor the status of the unit.
[0090] Step 2: The user enters the smart appointment interface and sets the schedule appointment according to the actual situation. (For example: go to work at 8:30 and leave work at 11:30, you can set the air conditioner to turn on at 8:20, set the mode to cool, and the temperature is 27 degrees; you can set the air conditioner to turn off at 11:20.)
[0091] Step 3: The user enters the energy-saving control function interface, and can set the target energy consumption of the specified equipment in a fixed period. (For example: from Monday to Friday, the power consumption of the air-conditioning equipment in rooms 101 to 110 is controlled within 500kw*h)
[0092] Step 4: The energy-saving control function allocates the energy consumption to each scheduled time period according to the user's schedule appointment setting parameters. Specifically, the power consumption can be evenly distributed according to the target energy consumption and the set air conditioning equipment. Obtain the power consumption of the device every hour. If there is any remaining power, the remaining power will be divided into other time periods. If there is an excess, the total energy consumption target will be subtracted from the excess part and the power will be divided equally.
[0093] Step 5: The system simulates the power consumption of each reservation according to the parameters of the air-conditioning equipment (such as the capacity of indoor and outdoor air-conditioning equipment but not limited to the capacity) and the parameters such as the duration, mode, and temperature set by the reservation. Specifically, the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, the capacity of the outdoor unit, the compressor power, the set running time, the running mode, and the set temperature are obtained, and the power consumption is calculated through thermodynamics, refrigeration formulas, and the like.
[0094] Step 6: Compare the power consumption allocated to each reservation according to the target energy consumption (referred to as the allocated power consumption, corresponding to the target power consumption in the preceding paragraph) and the power consumption simulated according to the actual parameters (referred to as the simulated power consumption for short). power).
[0095] Step 7: If the allocated power consumption cannot meet the simulated power consumption, the system will customize different energy-saving control schemes from multiple dimensions such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and air outlet direction. For example, when an air conditioner is used in a non-closed space and the difference between the set temperature and the outdoor temperature is large, the indoor ambient temperature cannot reach the set temperature of the air conditioner. The lowest temperature that can be achieved, change the set temperature to reduce the operating frequency of the compressor to achieve the effect of energy saving.
[0096] Step 8: A variety of energy-saving solutions can meet different user usage scenarios (for example, if the user needs to keep the temperature unchanged, it is acceptable to reduce the ambient humidity, or if the user needs to maintain the ambient humidity, the energy can be reduced by adjusting the set temperature, wind speed, etc. energy consumption), users can choose energy-saving solutions according to actual needs.
[0097]Step 9: The system adjusts the reservation setting parameters according to the energy-saving plan to meet the goal of allocating power consumption.
[0098] Step 10: If the allocated power consumption can meet the simulated power consumption, the system will generate an energy consumption distribution map and monitor the power consumption of the equipment in real time (comparison between the actual energy consumption and the allocated energy consumption). The energy consumption distribution map can intuitively provide the actual power consumption to the user, and is used to analyze the reasonable situation of schedule reservation and energy-saving control, and can change relevant parameters accordingly to make the parameter setting more reasonable.
[0099] Step 11: If the actual power consumption exceeds the allocated power consumption during actual use, go to step 7.
[0100] This application proposes a multi-dimensional energy-saving control scheme for users from temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc. in combination with user schedule setting and energy consumption targets in a fixed period. Users can choose energy-saving control schemes according to actual conditions, and combine indoor units, Outdoor unit parameters and schedule setting The unit’s running time and operating parameters generate an energy consumption distribution map, which can accurately control the unit’s energy consumption in real time. By actively and regularly adjusting the temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and other settings of the air-conditioning equipment, the energy-saving goal of the air-conditioning can be achieved. The display interface of the multi-line group control system shows the estimated power consumption of each schedule and the distribution of unit energy consumption. In the energy-saving control function, the target power consumption within a fixed period can be set. By observing the power consumption of the air conditioner and the operating status of the air conditioner, it was found that the power consumption of the unit was controlled within the target energy consumption. Change the parameters set in the original schedule appointment during the operation of the unit. After a period of operation, the system will automatically adjust the operating parameters of the air conditioner in order to control energy consumption (for example: the original air conditioner 1 appointment is set to start from 9 am to 11 am, cooling, The temperature is 27 degrees, and the wind speed is automatic; at 09:10, the temperature is manually adjusted to 16 degrees, the wind speed is strong wind and the room where the air conditioner is located is operated for a period of time with the doors and windows open. Adjust the air conditioner setting state parameters).
