[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0046] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this invention is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, the user should consider such a combination of technical solutions to be non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0047] This invention provides a load setting method, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a first embodiment of a load setting method according to the present invention.

[0048] In this embodiment, the load setting method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S10: Send a broadcast signal to the load unit to be configured.

[0050] In this embodiment, the executing entity can be a load setting device, which has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program execution. Of course, other devices with similar functions can also be used, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. For ease of explanation, this embodiment uses a load setting device as an example.

[0051] The load setting method of this embodiment can be applied to home appliances, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, or other types of home appliances. This embodiment does not limit the application of these appliances. In this embodiment, the load unit includes a fan, a damper, a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, and a solenoid valve.

[0052] It's important to note that the load's functionality is configured before shipment by the supplier. The load is simply shipped as a finished product to the customer, and the customer cannot reconfigure its functionality. For similar loads, different customer usage scenarios often lead to variations in load functionality, resulting in different load models. This increases management costs for both suppliers and customers and can easily lead to misuse during production. While loads are manufactured based on the same basic type, their functionality can differ during actual use or within different home appliances due to varying environments and equipment. Currently, it's impossible to reconfigure the load functionality after shipment to the customer. For example, after the load is shipped to the manufacturer, it may be installed in different home appliances, but the parameters set for each appliance will differ. For instance, the network address set for the same type of load may differ across appliances. The current system prevents manufacturers from further modifying or adjusting the load's network address according to their specific needs. Furthermore, regarding load after-sales service, when a load in a user's home malfunctions and needs to be replaced, after the new load is installed, since the parameters set for each load are basic parameters, it is necessary to adjust the parameters of the newly replaced load according to the situation of other loads in the user's home. For example, the network address of the newly replaced load needs to be adjusted based on the network addresses of other loads to avoid network conflicts. However, the current method does not allow modification of the load's network address on the client side.

[0053] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment proposes a load configuration method. This method allows for the reconfiguration of load functions even after the load has been shipped to the client. Before production and installation, the load configuration tool can individually reset the load function parameters to obtain differentiated loads that meet the system requirements of different devices. Furthermore, after installation, the load configuration tool can also individually reset the load function parameters again to optimize or upgrade device performance. Specifically, this can be achieved as follows.

[0054] In its specific implementation, this embodiment first proposes a load setting device, such as... Figure 2As shown, the load setting device 10 is used to set parameters for the unit to be set. In this embodiment, the load setting device 10 can communicate with multiple load units 20. Both the load setting device 10 and the load units 20 need to support the M-BUS bus communication mode. The load unit 20 includes the overall logic of load control, supports parameter memory function, and supports communication bus upgrade function.

[0055] When the load setting device 10 sets the parameters of the load unit to be set, it needs to disconnect from other load units 20 and establish one-to-one communication with the load unit to be set in order to ensure the accuracy of the parameter setting.

[0056] During the specific parameter setting process, the load setting device 10 can communicate with the load unit to be set through the interface on the load unit to be set. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the load setting device 10 is also provided with multiple different types of interfaces. Each interface is used to communicate with different types of load units 20. For example, the load setting device communicates with the refrigeration fan through the D interface and with the freezer fan through the E interface to realize parameter setting.

[0057] In the specific implementation, the load unit to be set is the load unit that needs to be reconfigured. When there is a load unit to be set, a broadcast signal can be sent to the load unit to be set in this embodiment.

[0058] This embodiment provides a method where, specifically, a home appliance contains multiple load units. Before sending a broadcast signal to the load unit to be configured, the communication connection with other load units is disconnected, and a communication connection is established only with the load unit to be configured. The broadcast signal is sent to the load unit to be configured in a one-to-one manner. This method effectively avoids setting the parameters of the load unit to be configured on other load units. For example, the one-to-one method can prevent the network address of the load unit to be configured from being set to that of other normally operating load units, thus avoiding network conflicts.

[0059] Step S20: Receive the load information fed back by the load unit to be set based on the broadcast signal.

[0060] In practice, after receiving the broadcast signal, the load unit to be configured will provide feedback on the corresponding load information. For example, after receiving the broadcast signal, the load unit to be configured will provide feedback on its own load model and load category.

[0061] Step S30: Set the parameters of the load unit to be set according to the load information.

[0062] In specific implementation, after obtaining the load information of the load unit, this embodiment sets the parameters of the load unit based on the load information. The settings include the type, attributes, ID, and parameters of the load. The load type includes fans, dampers, sensors, and lighting, etc. The load attributes include fans classified according to the usage scenario as refrigeration fans, freezing fans, condensing fans, refrigeration sensors, freezing sensors, etc. The load ID is the device serial number of the load unit, the number of load parameter levels, fan speed, PWM control, and other parameters.

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to resetting the parameters of the load unit to be set based on the load information, it is also possible to perform real-time fault detection on the load unit whose parameters have been set based on the load information.

[0064] In a specific implementation, this embodiment can obtain the operating status and operating parameters of the load unit based on the load information, and then compare the obtained operating status and operating parameters with the operating status and operating parameters that the load should have during normal operation, thereby realizing the fault detection of the load unit. Of course, other methods can also be used to detect the fault of the load unit in this embodiment, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0065] This embodiment sends a broadcast signal to the load unit to be configured; receives load information fed back by the load unit based on the broadcast signal; sets parameters of the load unit according to the load information; sets the parameters of the load unit based on the load information fed back by the load unit; and improves the usability of the load and expands the application scenarios of the load by adding a function upgrade function to the load and having the function setting tool realize the function setting of the load.

[0066] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of a load setting method according to the present invention.

[0067] Based on the first embodiment described above, in the load setting method of this embodiment, step S30 specifically includes:

[0068] Step S301: Determine the target setting parameters based on the load information.

[0069] In this embodiment, the target setting parameters can be determined based on the load information fed back by the load unit. The target setting parameters are the parameters that the load unit needs to set. The target setting parameters can be the type, attributes, ID, and parameters of the load. The load type includes fans, dampers, sensors, and lighting, etc. The load attributes include fans classified according to usage scenarios as refrigeration fans, freezer fans, condenser fans, refrigeration sensors, and freezer sensors, etc. The load ID is the device serial number used by the load unit, and the load parameter range, fan speed, PWM control, and other parameters are also included.

[0070] Step S302: Set the parameters of the load unit to be set according to the target setting parameters.

[0071] In practice, after determining the target setting parameters, the load unit to be set is configured according to these parameters to complete the parameter setting. For example, if the load unit to be set is a refrigeration fan, after determining the network address of the refrigeration fan, the refrigeration fan can be configured according to that network address. As another example, if the load unit is a freezer fan, the target speed of the freezer fan is determined based on the load information fed back by the freezer fan, and then the speed of the freezer fan is set according to that target speed.

[0072] This embodiment determines the target setting parameters based on the load information; sets the parameters of the load unit to be set according to the target setting parameters. After determining the accurate target setting parameters based on the load information, the load is set accordingly according to the determined target setting parameters. This not only improves the usability of the load unit and expands the application scenarios of the load unit, but also enables accurate and reasonable parameter settings for each load unit.

[0073] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a third embodiment of a load setting method according to the present invention.

[0074] Based on the second embodiment described above, in this embodiment, step S301 further includes:

[0075] Step S3011: Determine the current load installation location of the load unit to be set based on the load information.

[0076] In this embodiment, the target setting parameters of the load unit to be set are determined by the load information fed back by the load unit. This embodiment proposes an implementation method for obtaining the target setting parameters from the load information.

[0077] In this implementation, the current load installation location of the load unit to be set can be obtained first based on the load information. Taking home appliances as an example, various loads are installed inside home appliances, such as refrigeration fans, freezer fans, and lighting fixtures. Each load has a different function, and therefore each load has its corresponding installation location within the home appliance. In this embodiment, the load type corresponding to the load unit to be set can be determined based on the load information, and then the current load installation location of the load unit to be set can be determined based on the load type.

[0078] Step S3012: Determine the target setting parameters based on the current load installation location.

[0079] In this specific implementation, the device identifier is first obtained through a preset method. The device identifier is the device identifier of the home appliance where the load unit to be set is located. The preset method includes, but is not limited to, scanning a QR code. That is, in this embodiment, the device information of the home appliance can be obtained by scanning the QR code on the home appliance and then the device identifier information corresponding to the home appliance can be obtained based on the scanning result. Of course, other methods can also be used to obtain the device identifier information in this embodiment. The method can be selected according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0080] It should be noted that the internal structure of each home appliance can be determined based on the device identification information. After determining the internal structure of the home appliance, the installation positions of all load units within the home appliance can be obtained in this embodiment. These installation positions are the correct installation positions, and the parameters of the load at each installation position are also determined. Then, in this embodiment, the current installation position of the load unit to be set is matched with the installation positions of all load units within the home appliance. By matching, the type of the load unit to be set can be obtained, thereby determining the parameters that the load unit to be set should have, i.e., the target setting parameters. For example, by using equipment identification information, we can determine the installation locations of loads within a home appliance at locations A, B, and C. The load to be installed at location A is a refrigeration fan, at location B is a freezer fan, and at location C is a light fixture. Furthermore, the setting parameters for the load at location A are the refrigeration fan parameters, the setting parameters for the load at location B are the freezer fan parameters, and the setting parameters for the load at location C are the light fixture parameters. Assuming the load unit to be set is located at location A, through matching, we can determine that the load to be set is the refrigeration fan, and we can also determine that the target setting parameters at this time are the refrigeration fan setting parameters.

[0081] Furthermore, this embodiment proposes another implementation method for obtaining target setting parameters from load information.

[0082] In a practical implementation, the device identifier of the load unit to be configured can be obtained directly from the load information fed back by the load unit. Then, the parameters corresponding to the device identifier, i.e., the target setting parameters, can be found based on the mapping table. Finally, the load unit is configured according to the target setting parameters. The mapping table stores the mapping relationship between device identifiers and corresponding parameters, such as the correspondence between device identifiers and the network address of the load unit. Based on this mapping relationship, the network address of the load unit to be configured can be obtained directly. The mapping table can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0083] In this embodiment, the current load installation position of the load unit to be set can be determined based on the load information. Device identification information is obtained through a preset method. Setting parameters corresponding to each load installation position are obtained based on the device identification information. Each load installation position is matched with the current load installation position of the load unit to be set, and the target setting parameters are determined based on the matching results. Alternatively, the device identification of the load unit to be set can be extracted from the load information. The target setting parameters are determined based on the device identification. The target setting parameters of the load unit to be set can be accurately obtained through the above methods.

[0084] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a structural block diagram of the first embodiment of the load setting device of the present invention.

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, the load setting device proposed in this embodiment of the invention includes:

[0086] The transmitting module 10 is used to send broadcast signals to the load unit to be configured.

[0087] In this embodiment, the executing entity can be a load setting device, which has functions such as data processing, data communication, and program execution. Of course, other devices with similar functions can also be used, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. For ease of explanation, this embodiment uses a load setting device as an example.

[0088] The load setting method of this embodiment can be applied to home appliances, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, or other types of home appliances. This embodiment does not limit the application of these appliances. In this embodiment, the load unit includes a fan, a damper, a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, and a solenoid valve.

[0089] It's important to note that the load's functionality is configured before shipment by the supplier. The load is simply shipped as a finished product to the customer, and the customer cannot reconfigure its functionality. For similar loads, different customer usage scenarios often lead to variations in load functionality, resulting in different load models. This increases management costs for both suppliers and customers and can easily lead to misuse during production. While loads are manufactured based on the same basic type, their functionality can differ during actual use or within different home appliances due to varying environments and equipment. Currently, it's impossible to reconfigure the load functionality after shipment to the customer. For example, after the load is shipped to the manufacturer, it may be installed in different home appliances, but the parameters set for each appliance will differ. For instance, the network address set for the same type of load may differ across appliances. The current system prevents manufacturers from further modifying or adjusting the load's network address according to their specific needs. Furthermore, regarding load after-sales service, when a load in a user's home malfunctions and needs to be replaced, after the new load is installed, since the parameters set for each load are basic parameters, it is necessary to adjust the parameters of the newly replaced load according to the situation of other loads in the user's home. For example, the network address of the newly replaced load needs to be adjusted based on the network addresses of other loads to avoid network conflicts. However, the current method does not allow modification of the load's network address on the client side.

[0090] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment proposes a load configuration method. This method allows for the reconfiguration of load functions even after the load has been shipped to the client. Before production and installation, the load configuration tool can individually reset the load function parameters to obtain differentiated loads that meet the system requirements of different devices. Furthermore, after installation, the load configuration tool can also individually reset the load function parameters again to optimize or upgrade device performance. Specifically, this can be achieved as follows.

[0091] In its specific implementation, this embodiment first proposes a load setting device, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the load setting device 10 is used to set parameters for the unit to be set. In this embodiment, the load setting device 10 can communicate with multiple load units 20. Both the load setting device 10 and the load units 20 need to support the M-BUS bus communication mode. The load unit 20 includes the overall logic of load control, supports parameter memory function, and supports communication bus upgrade function.

[0092] When the load setting device 10 sets the parameters of the load unit to be set, it needs to disconnect from other load units 20 and establish one-to-one communication with the load unit to be set in order to ensure the accuracy of the parameter setting.

[0093] During the specific parameter setting process, the load setting device 10 can communicate with the load unit to be set through the interface on the load unit to be set. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the load setting device 10 is also provided with multiple different types of interfaces. Each interface is used to communicate with different types of load units 20. For example, the load setting device communicates with the refrigeration fan through the D interface and with the freezer fan through the E interface to realize parameter setting.

[0094] In the specific implementation, the load unit to be set is the load unit that needs to be reconfigured. When there is a load unit to be set, a broadcast signal can be sent to the load unit to be set in this embodiment.

[0095] This embodiment provides a method where, specifically, a home appliance contains multiple load units. Before sending a broadcast signal to the load unit to be configured, the communication connection with other load units is disconnected, and a communication connection is established only with the load unit to be configured. The broadcast signal is sent to the load unit to be configured in a one-to-one manner. This method effectively avoids setting the parameters of the load unit to be configured on other load units. For example, the one-to-one method can prevent the network address of the load unit to be configured from being set to that of other normally operating load units, thus avoiding network conflicts.

[0096] The receiving module 20 is used to receive the load information fed back by the load unit to be set based on the broadcast signal.

[0097] In practice, after receiving the broadcast signal, the load unit to be configured will provide feedback on the corresponding load information. For example, after receiving the broadcast signal, the load unit to be configured will provide feedback on its own load model and load category.

[0098] The output module 30 is used to set parameters for the load unit to be set according to the load information.

[0099] In specific implementation, after obtaining the load information of the load unit, this embodiment sets the parameters of the load unit based on the load information. The settings include the type, attributes, ID, and parameters of the load. The load type includes fans, dampers, sensors, and lighting, etc. The load attributes include fans classified according to the usage scenario as refrigeration fans, freezing fans, condensing fans, refrigeration sensors, freezing sensors, etc. The load ID is the device serial number of the load unit, the number of load parameter levels, fan speed, PWM control, and other parameters.

[0100] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to resetting the parameters of the load unit to be set based on the load information, it is also possible to perform real-time fault detection on the load unit whose parameters have been set based on the load information.

[0101] In a specific implementation, this embodiment can obtain the operating status and operating parameters of the load unit based on the load information, and then compare the obtained operating status and operating parameters with the operating status and operating parameters that the load should have during normal operation, thereby realizing the fault detection of the load unit. Of course, other methods can also be used to detect the fault of the load unit in this embodiment, and this embodiment does not limit them.

[0102] This embodiment sends a broadcast signal to the load unit to be configured; receives load information fed back by the load unit based on the broadcast signal; sets parameters of the load unit according to the load information; sets the parameters of the load unit based on the load information fed back by the load unit; and improves the usability of the load and expands the application scenarios of the load by adding a function upgrade function to the load and having the function setting tool realize the function setting of the load.

[0103] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also proposes a load setting system, which includes the load setting device as described above and household appliances.

[0104] The specific structure of the remote upgrade system is as described in the above embodiments. Since this remote upgrade system can adopt the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments. In addition, the home appliance in this embodiment is also provided with several maintenance ports. Since the load setting device communicates one-to-one with the load unit to be set in this embodiment, it is necessary to first determine the maintenance port corresponding to the load unit to be set. For example, the home appliance is provided with maintenance ports 1, 2 and 3, and the maintenance port corresponding to the load unit to be set is 1. Before setting the parameters, the communication between maintenance ports 2 and 3 will be disconnected in this embodiment. Specifically, the maintenance ports 2 and 3 can be disconnected by the switches set on maintenance ports 2 and 3, and then the parameters of the load unit to be set can be set through maintenance port 1.

[0105] The load setting system proposed in this embodiment includes a load setting device, multiple load units, and home appliances. The load setting device establishes communication with the load unit to be set through the maintenance port on the home appliance corresponding to the load unit to be set, so as to realize the parameter setting of the load unit to be set. The accuracy of parameter setting is ensured through a one-to-one communication method.
