[0091] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0092] The air conditioning system control method provided in this application can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the application environment shown, terminal 102 communicates with server 104 via a network, and server 104 communicates with gateway 106 via a network. IoT devices access gateway 106 via a local area network. These IoT devices include sensors 101, air conditioning systems, etc. The air conditioning system includes an outdoor unit 108 and at least one indoor unit 107. Outdoor unit 108 can access gateway 106 via outdoor unit control device 105, and indoor unit 107 can access gateway 106 via indoor unit control device 103. In practice, outdoor unit control device 105 and indoor unit control device 103 can also communicate directly via their respective configured wireless transmission modules without going through a gateway. After gateway 106, sensors 101, air conditioning systems, etc., are applied to a target space, such as a home, office, or hotel, terminal 102 can send control commands to gateway 106 via the network and server 104 to achieve remote control of the IoT devices. In practice, once terminal 102 connects to the local area network where gateway 106 is located, it can also directly send control commands to gateway 106 through the local area network to control IoT devices. Terminal 102 can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and portable wearable devices. Server 104 can be implemented using a standalone server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers.
[0093] In some implementations, the outdoor unit control device 105 can be associated with a sensing device, such as sensor 101. The outdoor unit control device 105 can then acquire detection data representing ring information from the sensing device associated with it, and / or acquire status data representing the usage status of the indoor unit 107 from the indoor unit control device 103. Based on the acquired detection data and / or status data, it sends control commands to the outdoor unit 108 to control the operating status of the outdoor unit 108, and / or sends control commands to the indoor unit control device 103 based on the acquired detection data and / or status data, so that the indoor unit control device 103 controls the operating status of the indoor unit 107 according to the control commands. Therefore, by setting control devices corresponding to the indoor unit 107 and the outdoor unit 108 respectively, and realizing control of the indoor unit 107 and / or the outdoor unit 108 based on the detection data from the sensing devices and / or the status data of the indoor unit, richer and more intelligent linkage control scenarios can be provided, improving the user experience.
[0094] like Figure 2 As shown, a control method for an air conditioning system is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 The outdoor unit control device shown is used in an air conditioning system that includes an outdoor unit and multiple indoor units. The outdoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit control device, and the indoor units are connected to the indoor unit control device. The outdoor unit control device and the indoor unit control device are connected in communication. The control method includes the following steps:
[0095] Step 202: Obtain detection data representing environmental information from the sensing device associated with the outdoor unit control device, and / or obtain status data representing the usage status of the indoor unit from the indoor unit control device;
[0096] The sensing devices associated with the outdoor unit control device include at least one of the following: temperature sensor, humidity sensor, human body sensor, and door / window sensor. The temperature sensor includes at least one of indoor temperature sensor and outdoor temperature sensor. The indoor temperature sensor can be installed outdoors to detect the temperature of the environment where the outdoor unit is located. The indoor temperature sensor can be installed in a desired location indoors, such as a room, living room, or entryway, to detect the temperature at that location. The human body sensor can be installed in a desired location indoors, such as a room, living room, or entryway, to detect the presence of a human body in that space and / or a specific location. The door / window sensor is installed on or near doors or windows to detect the open or closed status of doors or windows. The outdoor unit control device is associated with the sensing devices, for example, by mutual binding, so that the outdoor unit control device can acquire the detection data from the corresponding sensing devices.
[0097] Status data from the indoor unit control unit is used to characterize the indoor unit's operating status. This data includes at least one of the following: on / off status, temperature, airflow, airflow direction, and operating mode. Operating modes include cooling mode, heating mode, and dehumidification mode. The indoor unit's status data is transmitted to the outdoor unit control unit via the corresponding indoor unit control unit.
[0098] Step 204: Based on the detection data and / or status data, send control commands to the outdoor unit to control the operating status of the outdoor unit, and / or, based on the detection data and / or status data, send control commands to the indoor unit control device so that the indoor unit control device controls the operating status of the indoor unit according to the received control commands.
[0099] In this system, after receiving detection data from associated sensors and / or status data of the indoor unit sent by the indoor unit control device, the outdoor unit control device can control the operating status of the outdoor unit based on the detection data and / or status data, achieving intelligent linkage control between the outdoor unit, sensors, and indoor unit. Alternatively, the outdoor unit control device can send control commands to the indoor unit control device based on the detection data and / or status data, causing the indoor unit control device to control the operating status of the indoor unit according to the control commands, achieving intelligent control of the indoor unit, or achieving intelligent linkage control between the indoor unit and sensors. Alternatively, the outdoor unit control device can control the operating status of the outdoor unit based on the detection data and / or status data, and send control commands to the indoor unit control device, causing the indoor unit control device to control the operating status of the indoor unit according to the control commands, achieving intelligent linkage control between the indoor unit, sensors, and outdoor unit.
[0100] Through the above methods, the technical solution of this application sets up control devices corresponding to the indoor unit and the outdoor unit respectively, and realizes the control of the indoor unit and / or the outdoor unit based on the detection data of the sensor device and / or the status data of the indoor unit, which can provide richer and more intelligent linkage control scenarios and improve the user experience.
[0101] In one embodiment, the application structure diagram of the indoor unit control device is as follows: Figure 3As shown. The indoor unit control device is a high-voltage electrical device. The first processor 301 of the indoor unit control device is connected to the power module, the first sensor 302, the output and operation module 305, the control relay 306, and the first wireless data transmission module 307. The power module includes an AC-to-DC module 303 and an AC power supply 304. The AC-to-DC module 303 is connected to the first processor 301 and the AC power supply 304. The AC-to-DC module 303 converts AC power to DC power for supply. The first sensor 302 is, for example, at least one of a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, human body sensor, and door / window sensor, used to acquire environmental data of the corresponding space. The output and operation module 305 is, for example, a touch screen, used to output the air conditioner's status information and receive control operations. The control relay 306 executes control commands to the indoor unit. The first wireless data transmission module 307 enables wireless communication between the indoor unit control device and other devices.
[0102] In one embodiment, the application structure diagram of the outdoor unit control device is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. The outdoor unit control device belongs to the category of low-voltage electrical equipment. The second processor 401 of the outdoor unit control device is connected to the DC power supply 402, the low-voltage data interface 403, the second wireless data transmission module 404, and the second sensor 405. The second processor 401 controls the outdoor unit through the low-voltage data interface 403, and the second wireless data transmission module 404 is used to realize wireless communication between the outdoor unit control device and other devices.
[0103] In one embodiment, the outdoor unit control device and the indoor unit control device are connected wirelessly, wherein the first wireless data transmission module 307 and the second wireless data transmission module 404 communicate wirelessly. On the one hand, this achieves separation of strong and weak current signals, improving signal stability; on the other hand, it allows for more flexible installation positions for the outdoor and indoor unit control devices, simplifies installation, and facilitates intelligent linkage upgrades to the air conditioning system for a better user experience. In practice, one outdoor unit control device can connect to multiple indoor unit control devices, and one indoor unit control device can connect to one outdoor unit control device. The indoor unit control devices can be placed in convenient locations for installation and use, while the outdoor unit control devices can be placed in the ceiling, next to the outdoor unit, etc. The wireless communication hardware supports diverse antenna configurations, such as magnetic antenna designs (e.g., installed inside the outdoor unit and magnetically attached to the outdoor unit's casing) and built-in antenna designs (simple and quick installation, such as inside the indoor ceiling), enabling installation in diverse environments.
[0104] In one embodiment, the detection data includes environmental parameters characterizing the environment where the outdoor unit is located. In step 204, based on the detection data and / or status data, a control command is sent to the outdoor unit to control its operating status, including:
[0105] The number of indoor units currently turned on is determined based on the status data;
[0106] If the number of indoor units currently in operation is zero, a control command is sent to the outdoor unit based on the environmental parameters to control the operating status of the outdoor unit.
[0107] If the number of currently active indoor units is not zero, a control command is sent to the outdoor unit based on the number of currently active indoor units to control the operating power of the outdoor unit.
[0108] The environmental parameters include temperature and / or humidity, and the status data includes the on and / or off status of the indoor unit.
[0109] Optionally, if the number of currently active indoor units is zero, a control command is sent to the outdoor unit based on environmental parameters to control the operating status of the outdoor unit, including:
[0110] If the number of indoor units currently in operation is zero and the environmental parameters are lower than the preset threshold, then the outdoor unit will be controlled to be in the on state and its operating power will meet the preset conditions.
[0111] If the number of currently active indoor units is zero, and the environmental parameters are higher than or equal to the preset threshold, a control command is sent to the outdoor unit to control its operating status to be off.
[0112] The operating power meeting preset conditions includes either reducing the operating power or adjusting the operating power to a preset value. The outdoor unit control device controls the outdoor unit based on detection data and / or status data, thereby achieving a balance between energy consumption and freeze protection through coordinated control. When the number of currently active indoor units is not zero, the operating power of the outdoor unit is adjusted according to the number of currently active indoor units. This reduces energy consumption, and since the outdoor unit is still running, it provides freeze protection. Taking environmental parameters including temperature as an example, if the number of currently active indoor units is zero and the ambient temperature of the outdoor unit is higher than or equal to the preset temperature, the outdoor unit can be turned off, reducing energy consumption. If the number of currently active indoor units is zero and the ambient temperature of the outdoor unit is lower than the preset temperature, the outdoor unit remains running but its operating power is reduced or operates at low power, reducing energy consumption and providing freeze protection.
[0113] Optionally, the outdoor unit control device may only acquire status data sent by the indoor unit control device that is associated with the outdoor unit control device. Before the outdoor unit control device acquires status data representing the usage status of the indoor unit from the indoor unit control device, the method further includes:
[0114] In response to the setting command of the associated indoor unit control device, an association relationship is established between the outdoor unit control device and the indoor unit control device corresponding to the setting command.
[0115] Optionally, after establishing the association, status data representing the usage status of the indoor unit from the indoor unit control device is obtained, including:
[0116] Acquire status data representing the usage status of the indoor unit from the indoor unit control device associated with the outdoor unit control device.
[0117] The association relationship is used to characterize that the control commands of the outdoor unit control device are generated based on the status data sent by the associated indoor unit control device, but it does not limit the control commands of the outdoor unit control device to be sent only to the associated indoor unit control device for execution. That is to say, after the association relationship is established, the control commands of the outdoor unit control device can be sent only to the associated indoor unit control device, or they can be sent to all indoor unit control devices, but the control commands of the outdoor unit control device can be generated based on the status data sent by the associated indoor unit control device.
[0118] After establishing the association, the outdoor unit control device executes relevant controls based on the status data sent by the associated indoor unit control device. For other indoor unit control devices that are not associated, the operating status of their respective indoor units is not considered. For example, if it's inconvenient to turn off the indoor unit in the storage room or if the storage room is not frequently visited, the indoor unit control devices of the rooms and living room can be associated with the outdoor unit control device, but not the indoor unit control device of the storage room. When the outdoor unit control device determines, based on the status data sent by the indoor unit control devices of the rooms and living room, that both the room and air conditioner indoor units are off, it can turn off the outdoor unit. At this time, the indoor unit in the storage room will be turned off simultaneously, simplifying the operation. Similarly, when the outdoor unit control device determines, based on the status data sent by the indoor unit control devices of the rooms and living room, that both the room and air conditioner indoor units are on, it can send a start control command to the indoor unit control device of the storage room, turning on the storage room's indoor unit. At this time, the storage room's indoor unit will be turned on simultaneously, simplifying the operation.
[0119] Optionally, after establishing the association, a control command is sent to the indoor unit control device based on the detection data and / or status data, so that the indoor unit control device controls the operating status of the indoor unit according to the received control command, including:
[0120] Based on the detection data and / or status data, control commands are sent to the indoor unit control device associated with the outdoor unit control device, so that the indoor unit control device controls the operating status of the indoor unit according to the received control commands.
[0121] After establishing the association, the outdoor unit control device can send control commands to the associated indoor unit control device, enabling the associated indoor unit control device to control the indoor unit. This is suitable for more personalized and intelligent control scenarios. For example, the indoor unit control devices of the rooms and living rooms can be associated with the outdoor unit control device. Based on the detection data from the associated sensors and the status data of the indoor units sent by the associated indoor unit control devices, the outdoor unit control device sends control commands to the indoor unit control devices of the rooms and living rooms, enabling control of the indoor units in the rooms and living rooms. This can include automatically adjusting the temperature when someone is present, automatically turning off the indoor unit when no one is present, or adjusting the temperature to a low-energy setting.
[0122] In one embodiment, step 204 sends a control command to the indoor unit control device based on the detection data and / or status data, so that the indoor unit control device controls the operating status of the indoor unit according to the received control command, including:
[0123] The usage status of the preset space is determined based on the environmental information represented by the detection data.
[0124] Based on the usage status of the preset space and the status data of the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space, a control command is sent to the indoor unit control device of the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space, so that the indoor unit control device controls the operating status of the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space according to the control command.
[0125] Optionally, the preset space can be, for example, room 1, room 2, living room, walk-in closet, etc., and the usage status of the preset space includes at least one of the following: whether there is someone, whether the door is open, and whether the window is open. The outdoor unit control device controls the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space based on the usage status of the preset space and the status data of the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space, which can realize a more intelligent linkage control scenario.
[0126] For example, one or more associated human presence sensors can detect whether a preset space is occupied and determine the time periods when people are present or absent. This allows the system to recommend more reasonable and energy-efficient air conditioning control schemes to the user without sacrificing comfort. When using underfloor heating, if it's left on for extended periods, continuous hot water costs are incurred. If it's determined that no one is home, the underfloor heating temperature can be appropriately lowered, and depending on the time periods when people are present or absent, the temperature can be adjusted to the user's set comfortable temperature an hour or half an hour in advance, saving energy while increasing comfort. Alternatively, at night, the temperature in occupied bedrooms can be set to a comfortable level, while the temperature of the underfloor heating or air conditioning (if on) in the living room (if unoccupied) can be lowered.
[0127] Optionally, air conditioner usage reports can be pushed to preset terminals based on detection and status data within a preset time period. These reports can display quantitative data on the indoor units in various spaces, such as air conditioner operating parameters at different times when people are present, at different times when no one is present, when windows are open, and when windows are closed. By regularly providing users with more intuitive usage reports, users can easily understand their usage habits, serving as a reference for optimizing their experience.
[0128] In one embodiment, step 204 sends a control command to the indoor unit control device based on the detection data and / or status data, so that the indoor unit control device controls the operating status of the indoor unit according to the received control command, including:
[0129] Based on the status data of the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space and the user habit data, control commands are sent to the indoor unit control device of the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space, so that the indoor unit control device controls the operating status of the indoor unit corresponding to the preset space according to the control commands.
[0130] Before sending a control command to the indoor unit control device based on the detection data and / or the status data, the method further includes:
[0131] Based on a preset cycle, acquire detection data and status data;
[0132] User habit data is generated based on the detection and status data from the sensor.
[0133] Optionally, user habit data includes usage habit data when people are present, usage habit data when no one is present, usage habit data for preset time periods, and usage habit data for preset work modes.
[0134] The user habit data is generated based on sensor data and indoor unit status data within a preset period, such as one week, two weeks, or one month. This data can be combined with user habit data from the same period in previous years to obtain more accurate information. Preset time periods include rest times such as noon and evening, and preset operating modes include commonly used modes such as cooling, heating, and anti-freeze. Controlling the indoor unit based on user habit data results in greater comfort and energy savings. For example, if a user habitually sets the air conditioner to 26 degrees Celsius in the master bedroom between 9 and 10 pm, the indoor unit in the master bedroom can be adjusted accordingly. In anti-freeze mode below 5 degrees Celsius, if the user prefers a consistently comfortable temperature in the secondary bedroom, the heating mode for that room can be prioritized.
[0135] In summary, the air conditioning system control method of this application involves the outdoor unit control device acquiring detection data from associated sensor devices and / or status data of the indoor unit sent by the indoor unit control device; controlling the outdoor unit based on the detection data and / or status data, and / or sending control commands to the indoor unit control device, so that the indoor unit control device controls the indoor unit according to the control commands. This application's technical solution sets up control devices corresponding to the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner, respectively, and achieves control of the indoor and / or outdoor units based on the detection data from the sensor devices and / or the status data of the indoor unit, providing richer and more intelligent linkage control scenarios and improving the user experience.
[0136] like Figure 5 As shown, another control method for an air conditioning system is provided, which can be applied to... Figure 1 The indoor unit control device shown is used in an air conditioning system that includes an outdoor unit and multiple indoor units. The outdoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit control device, and the indoor units are connected to the indoor unit control device. The outdoor unit control device and the indoor unit control device are connected via communication. The control method includes:
[0137] Step 502: Obtain status data representing the usage status of the indoor unit and send it to the outdoor unit control device;
[0138] Step 504: Control the operating status of the indoor unit according to the control command from the outdoor unit control device, wherein the control command is generated by the outdoor unit control device based on the detection data and / or status data from the sensor device associated with the outdoor unit control device.
[0139] For details on the implementation process of the above steps, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The description of the illustrated embodiments will not be repeated here.
[0140] Optionally, the control method further includes:
[0141] Acquire detection data from sensors associated with the indoor unit control device;
[0142] The indoor unit is controlled based on the detection data from the sensors associated with the indoor unit control unit.
[0143] This method allows for more accurate and comfortable parameter adjustments to the indoor unit. For example, in some scenarios, due to limitations such as decoration, the indoor unit control unit may be located in the entryway, where the user's activity area is near the sofa. If waiting for the indoor unit's built-in temperature sensor to lower the temperature to the desired level, the sofa area might be either higher or lower than the preset target temperature, resulting in a poor experience. In this case, connecting an external temperature sensor can improve temperature control. For instance, placing a temperature sensor near the sofa and linking the indoor unit control unit to it allows the sensor's data to be reported to the corresponding indoor unit control unit, which can then adjust the indoor unit based on this temperature data. Alternatively, in some scenarios where users are sensitive to perceived temperature, multiple temperature sensors can be installed in a space. The indoor unit control unit can then be linked to multiple temperature sensors. When it receives temperature data from multiple sensors, it automatically takes the average or the temperature closest to the user's perceived temperature in the current space to adjust the indoor unit's temperature.

[0145] Step 602: The indoor unit control device acquires status data representing the usage status of the indoor unit and sends it to the outdoor unit control device.
[0146] Step 604: The outdoor unit control device sends control commands to the outdoor unit to control the operating status of the outdoor unit based on the detection data and / or status data of the environmental information represented by the sensing device associated with the outdoor unit control device, and / or sends control commands to the indoor unit control device.
[0147] Step 606: When the indoor unit control device receives the control command, it controls the operating status of the indoor unit according to the control command.
