Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of temperature control, in particular to a temperature control system and a temperature control method for a balcony room in a passenger ship. Background Art

[0002] With the development of marine technology, large passenger ships are becoming more and more popular. As a part of passenger ships, air conditioning is extremely critical in satisfying passenger comfort. Fan coil systems are commonly used in existing large passenger ship suites, but ordinary fan coils are only equipped with digital temperature control switches, which are no longer suitable for the use needs of luxury passenger ships. There is a large room for improvement in intelligent adjustment and fault diagnosis.

[0003] In addition, many large passenger ships are equipped with balconies in high-end cabins to facilitate guests to enjoy the beautiful scenery and increase the occupancy rate of passenger ships. At the same time, the problem of energy waste has also arisen. For example, in summer, when a guest opens the door to the balcony of the cabin, the room temperature will rise rapidly due to the direct incidence of sunlight from the outside. In order to lower the room temperature, the fan coil in the room can only increase the load operation of the existing temperature control system. However, at this time, the guest is still on the balcony, and the temperature of the room without guest activities continues to be lowered, resulting in energy waste.

[0004] Traditional cabin air conditioning control uses digital thermostat switch control, which directly controls the heating and cooling valve circuits through the integrated temperature sensor in the switch. The cost is low, but its hardware architecture only supports simple and limited on and off control capabilities, and it is difficult to achieve complex logic control such as multi-mode and multi-domain selection, and its performance is slightly insufficient in terms of comfort and energy saving. In terms of balcony control, there is no reasonable solution yet. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a temperature control system and a temperature control method for a balcony room of a passenger ship, which can adaptively adjust the indoor temperature according to the opening state information of the balcony door.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, the human body detection module is also used to detect whether there is a person in the room corresponding to the balcony door when the controller receives balcony door status information indicating that the balcony door is in an open state, and when there is a person in the room, send second detection information to the controller to adjust the indoor temperature by a second amplitude, wherein the first amplitude is not less than the second amplitude.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present invention, if the duration that the balcony door is in the open state is greater than a second preset duration, after adjusting the indoor temperature by the first amplitude, the controller is further used to adjust the indoor temperature by a third amplitude.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present invention, the passenger ship balcony room temperature control system further includes:

[0017] The electromechanical control output module is connected to the controller for controlling the opening and closing of one or more of the fan, the cold water valve and the hot water valve after receiving the control signal from the controller.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, the passenger ship balcony room temperature control system further includes:

[0019] A power module, used to supply power to the controller;

[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, the signal acquisition module is also used to collect door card insertion and removal information, so that when the door card insertion information is collected when the door card is in an inserted state, the power module is controlled to start to power the controller, and when the door card removal information is collected when the door card is in an unplugged state, the power module is controlled to power off.

[0022] The present invention also provides a temperature control method, comprising:

[0023] Receiving balcony door status information and indoor temperature information collected by the signal acquisition module;

[0024] When the balcony door status information indicates that the balcony door is in an open state, the indoor temperature is adjusted based on the indoor temperature information.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] Various aspects and features of the present application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] These and other characteristics of the present application will become apparent from the following description of a preferred form of embodiment given as a non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] It should also be understood that, although the present application has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art will be able to realize many other equivalent forms of the present application that have the features described in the claims and are therefore within the scope of protection defined thereby.

[0035] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Specific embodiments of the present application are described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments applied for are merely examples of the present application, which may be implemented in a variety of ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to determine the true intent based on the user's historical operations and to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that make the present application unclear. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details applied for herein are not intended to be limiting, but are merely used as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present application in a variety of ways with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0037] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0038] The embodiment of the present invention provides a temperature control system for a balcony room on a passenger ship, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a signal acquisition module 1 and a controller 2, the signal acquisition module 1 is used to collect balcony door status information and indoor temperature information; the controller 2 is communicated with the signal acquisition module 1, and can receive the balcony door status information and indoor temperature information sent by the signal acquisition module 1, and when the balcony door status information indicates that the balcony door is in an open state, the indoor temperature is adjusted based on the indoor temperature information.

[0039] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the balcony door status information collected by the signal acquisition module 1 can determine whether the balcony door is in an open state or a closed state, and when the balcony door is in an open state, the indoor temperature is adjusted based on the indoor temperature information, thereby reducing the energy consumed by the temperature control system to operate at a high load due to the influence of the outdoor temperature on the indoor temperature when the balcony door is open, avoiding energy waste, and enabling the temperature control system to operate more stably, so that each balcony room of the passenger ship can use the temperature control system more efficiently and without waste, thereby improving the user experience. Specifically, adjusting the indoor temperature based on the indoor temperature information is actually adjusting the temperature based on the current mode of the temperature control system, and adjusting the temperature corresponding to the current mode through the temperature control system. In this embodiment, the controller 2 can be a direct digital controller (Direct Digital Control, referred to as: DDC), which supports the function of a bus such as Modbus RTU, and can easily realize integration with other systems / devices, and the system has good scalability and market prospects.

[0040] In order to adjust the indoor temperature more intelligently, in some embodiments of the present invention, a time delay relay is provided in the controller 2, and the time delay relay is used to adjust the indoor temperature after the first preset time length when the controller 2 receives the balcony door status information indicating that the balcony door is in the open state. Specifically, the first preset time length can be set by the time delay relay, and can be 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., which is not clearly limited here. As an example, after the resident of the passenger ship walks from the indoor to the balcony, he only stays for a short while (such as 30 seconds) and then returns to the indoor and closes the balcony door. At this time, there is no need to adjust the indoor temperature. If the resident opens the balcony door for more than 3 minutes (if the first preset time length is set to 3 minutes), then at this time, the indoor temperature can be adjusted by the temperature control system, thereby avoiding the outdoor temperature from having a greater impact on the indoor temperature at this time, causing the temperature control system to perform unnecessary cooling or heating, wasting energy.

[0041] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the signal acquisition module 1 is also used to collect mode information of the temperature control system; if the mode information is a cooling mode, the controller 2 increases the temperature corresponding to the cooling mode based on the indoor temperature; if the mode information is a heating mode, the controller 2 lowers the temperature corresponding to the heating mode based on the indoor temperature. As an example, in summer, when the outdoor temperature is 35 degrees Celsius and the indoor cooling temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, if the resident opens the balcony door for more than the first preset time, then at this time, the temperature of 25 degrees Celsius corresponding to the cooling mode of the temperature control system can be increased by 1 degree Celsius or 2 degrees Celsius, such as raising the cooling temperature of the indoor temperature to 26 degrees Celsius, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the temperature control system due to cooling (compared with the original cooling temperature of 25 degrees Celsius); if it is winter, the outdoor temperature is 10 degrees Celsius and the indoor heating temperature is 22 degrees Celsius, then at this time, the indoor heating temperature can be lowered by 1 degree Celsius or 2 degrees Celsius, such as lowering it to 21 degrees Celsius, which also reduces the energy consumption of the temperature control system due to heating.

[0042] In order to enable the temperature control system to adjust the indoor temperature in a more humane manner, in some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature control system of the balcony room of a passenger ship also includes a human body detection module, which is used to detect whether there is a person on the balcony corresponding to the balcony door when the controller 2 receives the balcony door status information indicating that the balcony door is in an open state, and when there is a person on the balcony, send a first detection information to the controller 2 to adjust the indoor temperature by a first amplitude (such as adjusting 1 degree Celsius or 2 degrees Celsius). Specifically, in some cases, the residents may only open the balcony door (such as just for ventilation) and the person has not left the room. At this time, the temperature control system can maintain the setting of the indoor temperature to avoid affecting the residents. If it is detected that there are people on the balcony, the indoor temperature can be adjusted accordingly through the temperature control system.

[0043] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the human body detection module is also used to detect whether there is a person in the room corresponding to the balcony door when the controller 2 receives the balcony door status information indicating that the balcony door is in an open state, and when there is a person in the room, send the second detection information to the controller 2 to adjust the indoor temperature by a second amplitude, wherein the first amplitude is not less than the second amplitude. Specifically, the residents living on the passenger ship may not live alone in the room, so when it is detected that there is a person on the balcony, it can be further detected whether there is still a person in the room. If there is also someone in the room, then at this time, it is not convenient to adjust the indoor temperature by a large amplitude. For example, in summer, the outdoor temperature is 37 degrees Celsius, and the temperature corresponding to the indoor cooling of the temperature control system is 26 degrees Celsius. If there are people on the balcony and indoors, the temperature of 26 degrees Celsius corresponding to the cooling mode of the temperature control system can be increased by a second amplitude (such as increasing by 0.5 degrees Celsius or 1 degree Celsius), that is, to a certain extent, the energy consumed by the temperature control system is reduced, and the people in the room can still have a good degree of comfort.

[0044] In addition, in order to better reduce the energy consumed by the temperature control system, in some embodiments of the present invention, if the balcony door is in the open state for a period longer than the second preset period, then after adjusting the indoor temperature by the first amplitude, the controller 2 is also used to adjust the indoor temperature by a third amplitude. Specifically, if the resident stays on the balcony for a period of time, such as staying for more than 10 minutes, 20 minutes or 60 minutes, that is, exceeding the first preset period, then at this time, the outdoor temperature will have a greater impact on the indoor temperature through the balcony door, and the corresponding adjustment temperature of the temperature control system can be further adjusted again on the basis of having been adjusted once. For example, in summer, when the outdoor temperature is 35 degrees Celsius and the indoor cooling temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, the cooling temperature corresponding to the temperature control system has been adjusted because the resident has been on the balcony for more than the first preset period. It is adjusted to 26 degrees Celsius, but the resident continues to stay on the balcony, and the duration of stay has exceeded the second preset time, such as exceeding 30 minutes. At this time, the cooling temperature corresponding to the cooling mode of the temperature control system can be adjusted again, such as increasing the cooling temperature by a third amplitude (such as increasing it by 2 degrees Celsius or 3 degrees Celsius, etc.), such as increasing the cooling temperature for cooling the indoor temperature to 28 degrees Celsius, thereby further reducing the energy consumption of the temperature control system due to cooling (compared with the original cooling temperature of 26 degrees Celsius), that is, further reducing the energy consumption.

[0045] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the temperature control system of the balcony room of the passenger ship also includes: an electromechanical control output module 3, which is communicated with the controller 2 and is used to control the opening and closing of one or more of the fan, the cold water valve and the hot water valve after receiving the control signal of the controller 2.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control system of the balcony room of the passenger ship also includes: a power module 4, which is used to power the controller 2 and can rectify 230VAC AC to 24VDC DC; a temperature control board 5, which is used to receive operation instructions to adjust the indoor temperature. For example, the user can set the adjustment temperature of the temperature control system, such as cooling temperature or heating temperature, through the buttons or touch pad on the temperature control board 5.

[0047] Of course, in some embodiments of the present invention, the signal acquisition module 1 is also used to collect door card insertion and removal information, so that when the door card insertion information is collected when the door card is in the inserted state, the power supply module 4 is controlled to start to power the controller 2, and when the door card removal information is collected when the door card is in the removed state, the power supply module is controlled to cut off power.

[0048] In this embodiment, the temperature control system of the passenger ship balcony room also includes: a fault diagnosis alarm module, which is communicated with the controller 2 to issue an alarm when a fault occurs in the temperature control system, thereby improving the reliability of the temperature control system and enhancing the user experience.

[0049] The present invention also provides a temperature control method, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0050] Step 101: receiving balcony door status information and indoor temperature information collected by the signal collection module 1;

[0051] Step 102: When the balcony door status information indicates that the balcony door is in an open state, the indoor temperature is adjusted based on the indoor temperature information.

[0052] The above method adjusts the indoor temperature based on the indoor temperature information when the balcony door is in the open state, thereby reducing the energy consumed by the temperature control system to operate at high load due to the influence of the outdoor temperature on the indoor temperature when the balcony door is open, avoiding energy waste, and enabling the temperature control system to operate more stably. This allows each balcony room on the passenger ship to use the temperature control system more efficiently and without waste, thereby improving the user experience.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature control method is applied to a temperature control system, and a time delay relay is provided in the temperature control system, such as Figure 3As shown, the method also includes: when the balcony door status information indicates that the balcony door is in an open state, based on the indoor temperature information, adjusting the indoor temperature after a first preset time, wherein the first preset time is set by the delay relay.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, adjusting the indoor temperature based on the indoor temperature information includes:

[0055] If the mode information is cooling mode, the temperature corresponding to the cooling mode is increased based on the indoor temperature;

[0056] If the mode information is a heating mode, the temperature corresponding to the heating mode is lowered based on the indoor temperature.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the method also includes: when receiving balcony door status information indicating that the balcony door is in an open state, detecting whether there is a person on the balcony corresponding to the balcony door through a human body detection module; if it is detected that there is a person on the balcony, adjusting the indoor temperature by a first amplitude.

[0058] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the method also includes: when receiving balcony door status information indicating that the balcony door is in an open state, detecting whether there is a person in the room corresponding to the balcony door through a human body detection module; if it is detected that there is a person in the room, adjusting the indoor temperature with a second amplitude, wherein the first amplitude is not less than the second amplitude.

[0059] In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: if the duration that the balcony door is in the open state is greater than a second preset duration, adjusting the indoor temperature by a third amplitude after adjusting the indoor temperature by a first amplitude.

[0060] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the essence and protection scope of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
