Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, when household air-conditioning products are upgraded OTA, it is necessary to obtain the firmware program corresponding to the electronic control unit of each independent component such as the display panel, indoor unit, and outdoor unit through an independent network module, and then transmit it to the electronic control unit of the corresponding target component. The disadvantage of this upgrade method is that the module directly communicating with the network module (generally the indoor unit) needs to coordinate the overall upgrade strategy, including device address identification and data distribution, module upgrade timing distribution, etc., so it needs The communication protocol between the modules during the OTA upgrade is formulated, resulting in bloated communication protocol and communication code, and needs to be upgraded separately for indoor units, outdoor units, and other equipment. more complicated

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and discloses an air conditioner facilitating OTA upgrading and an OTA upgrading method thereof. The air conditioner comprises an intelligent core board, an indoor unit control board and an outdoor unit control board, and the intelligent core board comprises a main control module and a network module; the main control module integrates all control strategies of the air conditioner and is used for processing all the control strategies and sending processing results to the indoor unit control panel and the outdoor unit control panel, wherein the control strategies comprise OTA upgrade control strategies; when the main control module processes the OTA upgrade control strategies, the main control module is specifically used for performing communication connection with a cloud end through the network module to obtain a software upgrade package sent by the cloud end, and performing software upgrading on the main control module according to the software upgrading package. According to the air conditioner facilitating OTA upgrading and the upgrading method thereof, the upgrading process of the air conditioner can be simplified.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, in particular to an air conditioner that is easy to upgrade to OTA and its OTA upgrade method. Background technique [0002] Currently, when the home air conditioner product OTA is upgraded, the firmware program corresponding to the electronic control unit of each independent component such as each of the independent components such as the display panel, the indoor unit, the outdoor unit, and then transmits the electronically controlled part of the corresponding destination part. Unit to implement OTA upgrade, the drawback of this upgrade method is that modules directly communicating with the network module (generally indoor machine) need to coordinate the overall upgrade strategy, including device address identification and data allocation, module upgrade timing assignment, etc. The communication protocol between the modules at OTA is developed, resulting in bloated communication...
