Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an operation control method, a control device and a computer-readable storage medium for an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most air conditioners need to be networked and interact with a server, and the server generally identifies different air conditioners through the serial numbers of the air conditioners. When after-sales engineers repair air conditioners, if some components are replaced, such as a certain circuit board, the serial number of the air conditioner needs to be written to the new component after the repair is completed, so that the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server.

[0003] When after-sales engineers write the serial number to the new component, they need to first query the serial number of the air conditioner from the server according to the air conditioner information provided by the user, then use special software for writing the serial number, and write the obtained serial number to the new component under the condition of obtaining authorization from the after-sales center. The current processing method causes after-sales engineers to spend a long time writing the serial number to achieve networking after the repair is completed, resulting in low repair efficiency, long repair time, and poor after-sales experience for users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and provide an operation control method, a control device and a computer-readable storage medium for an air conditioner, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency and enhance the after-sales experience of users.

[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an operation control method for an air conditioner, the air conditioner includes a first circuit board and a second circuit board, and the method includes:

[0006] Obtain a startup signal;

[0007] Within a first preset duration, when the operating state of the air conditioner meets a first preset condition, determine whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner;

[0008] When the first circuit board stores the serial number, write the serial number to the second circuit board.

[0009] The operation control method of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: When the after-sales engineer completes the repair of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is turned on through the remote control or the buttons on the body of the air conditioner. The air conditioner obtains the power-on signal, and then within the first preset duration, the after-sales engineer controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the pre-specified operation mode, so that the operation state of the air conditioner meets the first preset condition. Then the air conditioner detects and judges whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner. If so, the serial number is written to the second circuit board, so that both the first circuit board and the second circuit board of the air conditioner store the serial number of the air conditioner. Further, the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server without the after-sales engineer obtaining the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and using special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0010] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, it further includes:

[0011] When the first circuit board does not have the serial number, judge whether the second circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner;

[0012] When the second circuit board stores the serial number, write the serial number to the first circuit board.

[0013] If the first circuit board does not store the serial number of the air conditioner but the second circuit board stores the serial number, it may be that the after-sales engineer replaced the first circuit board during the repair process. At this time, the serial number stored in the second circuit board is written to the first circuit board, so that both the first circuit board and the second circuit board of the air conditioner store the serial number of the air conditioner. Further, the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server without the after-sales engineer obtaining the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and using special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0014] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, when the second circuit board also does not have the serial number, obtain the preset model code stored in the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board, and obtain the MAC code of the WiFi module connected to the air conditioner;

[0015] Form a new serial number according to the preset model code and the MAC code and write it to the first circuit board and the second circuit board.

[0016] If neither the first circuit board nor the second circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner, it may be that the after-sales engineer replaced the first circuit board and the second circuit board simultaneously during the repair process. At this time, the air conditioner forms a new serial number by combining the preset model code of the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board and the MAC code of the WiFi module, and writes the new serial number to the first circuit board and the second circuit board, so that the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server. There is no need for the after-sales engineer to obtain the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and use special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0017] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, after completing the network connection according to the new serial number, the serial number is uploaded to the server.

[0018] After forming the new serial number, the new serial number is uploaded to the server, so that the server can interact with the air conditioner normally according to the serial number.

[0019] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, the first circuit board is the main control circuit board, and the second circuit board is the display circuit board; or: the first circuit board is the display circuit board, and the second circuit board is the main control circuit board.

[0020] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, the operation state includes the refrigeration operation inspection state parameter and the heating operation inspection state parameter. When the operation time of the air conditioner in the refrigeration mode according to the first preset parameter reaches the second preset duration, the value of the refrigeration operation inspection state parameter is set to 1; when the operation time of the air conditioner in the heating mode according to the second preset parameter reaches the third preset duration, the value of the heating operation inspection state parameter is set to 1; the first preset condition is that the values of the refrigeration operation inspection state parameter and the heating operation inspection state parameter are both 1.

[0021] After the air conditioner completes after-sales repair, it generally needs to be tested for refrigeration and heating to avoid abnormal main functions of the repaired air conditioner. In this embodiment, by combining the first preset condition for triggering the serial number writing with the refrigeration function test run and the heating function test run, the after-sales engineer controls the air conditioner to run in the refrigeration mode according to the first preset parameter for the second preset duration and in the heating mode according to the second preset parameter for the third preset duration, and performs a set of control operations on the air conditioner, which can not only test the refrigeration and heating functions of the air conditioner, but also make the operation state of the air conditioner meet the first preset condition, and then trigger the air conditioner to judge whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner, so as to realize the serial number writing operation, without performing multiple sets of control operations on the air conditioner, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0022] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, when the startup time of the air conditioner reaches the first preset duration, the values of the refrigeration operation inspection status parameter and the heating operation inspection status parameter are set to 0.

[0023] After the startup time of the air conditioner reaches the first preset duration, the values of the refrigeration operation inspection status parameter and the heating operation inspection status parameter are set to 0, that is, after the air conditioner starts up for the first preset duration, the operation state of the air conditioner can no longer meet the first preset condition. The triggering of the serial number writing operation needs to be completed within the first preset duration of startup, avoiding the situation where the user makes the operation state of the air conditioner meet the first preset condition by coincidence, and reducing the probability of accidentally triggering the serial number writing operation.

[0024] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, when the air conditioner is a single-cooling model, the value of the heating operation inspection status parameter is always 1.

[0025] If the air conditioner is a single-cooling model, the air conditioner cannot perform the heating function trial operation. Therefore, the value of the heating operation inspection status parameter is directly set to 1 constantly, ensuring that the operation state of the air conditioner can meet the first preset condition within the first preset duration, that is, ensuring that the air conditioner can normally trigger the serial number writing.

[0026] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, when the operation state of the air conditioner meets the second preset condition, the serial number stored in the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board is cleared.

[0027] In some special cases, for example, due to production misoperation, the serial numbers of multiple air conditioners are the same. During the interaction between the air conditioner and the server, the control parameters of multiple air conditioners with the same serial number are confused with each other, thus affecting the user experience. The after-sales engineer can control the operation of the air conditioner according to the pre-specified operation method, so that the operation state of the air conditioner meets the second preset condition, triggering the serial number clearing operation to clear the serial number stored in the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board; then, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled according to the pre-specified operation method again, so that the operation state of the air conditioner meets the first preset condition, enabling the air conditioner to form a new serial number through the preset model code of the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board and the MAC code of the WiFi module, realizing the reset of the serial number.

[0028] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, the air conditioner further includes a third circuit board, and the method further includes:

[0029] Writing the serial number to the third circuit board.

[0030] If the air conditioner further includes a third circuit board that can store the serial number, writing the serial number to the third circuit board can back up the serial number of the air conditioner in more components.

[0031] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an operation control device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor. The processor executes the program to implement the operation control method of the air conditioner as described in the first aspect embodiment above.

[0032] According to the operation control device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, it has at least the following beneficial effects: When the after-sales engineer completes the repair of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is turned on through the remote control or the buttons on the air conditioner body. The air conditioner obtains the power-on signal. Then, within the first preset time period, the after-sales engineer controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the pre-specified operation mode, so that the operation state of the air conditioner meets the first preset condition. Then the air conditioner detects and judges whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner. If so, the serial number is written to the second circuit board, so that both the first circuit board and the second circuit board of the air conditioner store the serial number of the air conditioner. Further, the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server, without the need for the after-sales engineer to obtain the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and use special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0033] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including the operation control device as described in the second aspect embodiment above.

[0034] According to the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, it has at least the following beneficial effects: When the after-sales engineer completes the repair of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is turned on through the remote control or the buttons on the air conditioner body. The air conditioner obtains the power-on signal. Then, within the first preset time period, the after-sales engineer controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the pre-specified operation mode, so that the operation state of the air conditioner meets the first preset condition. Then the air conditioner detects and judges whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner. If so, the serial number is written to the second circuit board, so that both the first circuit board and the second circuit board of the air conditioner store the serial number of the air conditioner. Further, the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server, without the need for the after-sales engineer to obtain the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and use special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0035] Fourthly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for causing a computer to execute the operation control method of the air conditioner as described in the first aspect embodiment above.

[0036] The computer-readable storage medium provided by the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: When the after-sales engineer completes the repair of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is turned on through the remote control or the buttons on the air conditioner body. The air conditioner obtains the power-on signal, and then within the first preset duration, the after-sales engineer controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the pre-specified operation mode, so that the operation state of the air conditioner meets the first preset condition. Then the air conditioner detects and determines whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner. If so, the serial number is written to the second circuit board, so that both the first circuit board and the second circuit board of the air conditioner store the serial number of the air conditioner, further enabling the repaired air conditioner to be normally networked and interact with the server. There is no need for the after-sales engineer to obtain the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and use special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0048] It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other..

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention provide an operation control method, a control device and a computer-readable storage medium for an air conditioner, which can improve the after-sales maintenance efficiency and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0050] The following further elaborates on the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0051] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of an operation control method for an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention. The air conditioner includes at least a first circuit board and a second circuit board. Refer to Figure 1, the operation control method of the air conditioner includes but is not limited to steps S110 to S130:

[0052] Step S110: Obtain a startup signal;

[0053] Step S120: Within a first preset duration, when the operating state of the air conditioner meets a first preset condition, determine whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner;

[0054] Step S130: When the first circuit board stores the serial number, write the serial number to the second circuit board.

[0055] According to the operation control method of the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention, when the after-sales engineer completes the repair of the air conditioner, the air conditioner is turned on through the remote control or the buttons on the body of the air conditioner. The air conditioner obtains the startup signal, and then within the first preset duration, the after-sales engineer controls the operation of the air conditioner according to the pre-specified operation mode, so that the operating state of the air conditioner meets the first preset condition. Then the air conditioner detects and judges whether the first circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner. If so, the serial number is written to the second circuit board, so that both the first circuit board and the second circuit board of the air conditioner store the serial number of the air conditioner, further enabling the repaired air conditioner to be normally networked and interact with the server. There is no need for the after-sales engineer to obtain the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and use special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0056] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the operation control method of the air conditioner provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above Figure 1 embodiment of the operation control method, refer to Figure 2 , the operation control method of the air conditioner further includes but is not limited to steps S210 to S220:

[0057] Step S210: When the first circuit board does not have the serial number, determine whether the second circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner;

[0058] Step S220: When the second circuit board stores the serial number, write the serial number to the first circuit board.

[0059] If the first circuit board does not store the serial number of the air conditioner but the second circuit board stores the serial number, it may be that the after-sales engineer replaced the first circuit board during the repair process. At this time, the serial number stored on the second circuit board is written to the first circuit board, so that both the first circuit board and the second circuit board of the air conditioner store the serial number of the air conditioner. Further, the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server without the after-sales engineer obtaining the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and using special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0060] Figure 3 is a flowchart of an operation control method for an air conditioner provided by another embodiment of the present invention. Based on the above Figure 1 and Figure 2 operation control methods of the embodiments, referring to Figure 3 , the operation control method of the air conditioner further includes but is not limited to steps S310 to S320:

[0061] Step S310: When the second circuit board also does not have the serial number, obtain the preset model code stored in the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board, and obtain the MAC code of the WiFi module connected to the air conditioner;

[0062] Step S320: Compose a new serial number according to the preset model code and the MAC code and write it to the first circuit board and the second circuit board.

[0063] If neither the first circuit board nor the second circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner, it may be that the after-sales engineer replaced both the first circuit board and the second circuit board during the repair process, and there is no component on the air conditioner that stores the serial number, so the serial number cannot be obtained from the components of the air conditioner itself. At this time, the air conditioner composes a new serial number through the preset model code of the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board and the MAC code of the WiFi module, and writes the new serial number to the first circuit board and the second circuit board, so that the repaired air conditioner can be normally networked and interact with the server without the after-sales engineer obtaining the serial number of the air conditioner by himself and using special software to write the serial number, which can improve the after-sales repair efficiency, reduce the repair man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0064] In addition, in the operation control method of the air conditioner in the above Figure 3 shown embodiment, after completing the network configuration according to the new serial number, the serial number is uploaded to the server.

[0065] After composing the new serial number, the new serial number is uploaded to the server, so that the server can normally interact with the air conditioner according to the serial number.

[0066] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, the first circuit board is the main control circuit board, and the second circuit board is the display circuit board; or: the first circuit board is the display circuit board, and the second circuit board is the main control circuit board.

[0067] Combined with Figures 1 to 2 the embodiment of, when the first preset condition is satisfied, the air conditioner first determines whether the serial number of the air conditioner is stored in the first circuit board, and then determines whether the serial number of the air conditioner is stored in the second circuit board when the serial number of the air conditioner is not stored in the first circuit board. It can be seen that the priority of the first circuit board is higher than that of the second circuit board, that is, when the serial numbers are stored in both the first circuit board and the second circuit board and the serial number stored in the second circuit board is inconsistent with the serial number stored in the first circuit board, the serial number stored in the second circuit board will be overwritten by the serial number stored in the first circuit board.

[0068] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, the operation states of the air conditioner include a refrigeration operation inspection state parameter and a heating operation inspection state parameter. When the operation time of the air conditioner in the refrigeration mode reaches the second preset duration according to the first preset parameter, the value of the refrigeration operation inspection state parameter is set to 1; when the operation time of the air conditioner in the heating mode reaches the third preset duration according to the second preset parameter, the value of the heating operation inspection state parameter is set to 1; the first preset condition is that the values of the refrigeration operation inspection state parameter and the heating operation inspection state parameter are both 1. It can be understood that the first preset parameter may include a temperature setting value, a wind speed setting gear, etc.

[0069] After the air conditioner completes after-sales maintenance, it generally needs to be tested for refrigeration and heating to avoid abnormal main functions of the air conditioner after maintenance. In this embodiment, by combining the first preset condition for triggering the serial number writing with the refrigeration function test run and the heating function test run, the after-sales engineer controls the air conditioner to run in the refrigeration mode for the second preset duration according to the first preset parameter and in the heating mode for the third preset duration according to the second preset parameter, and performs a set of control operations on the air conditioner, which can not only test the refrigeration and heating functions of the air conditioner, but also make the operation state of the air conditioner meet the first preset condition, and then trigger the air conditioner to judge whether the serial number of the air conditioner is stored in the first circuit board, so as to realize the serial number writing operation, without performing multiple sets of control operations on the air conditioner, which can improve the after-sales maintenance efficiency, reduce the maintenance man-hours, and enhance the user's after-sales experience.

[0070] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, when the startup time of the air conditioner reaches the first preset duration, the values of the refrigeration operation inspection state parameter and the heating operation inspection state parameter are set to 0.

[0071] After the startup time of the air conditioner reaches the first preset duration, the values of the refrigeration operation check status parameter and the heating operation check status parameter are set to 0, that is, after the air conditioner starts up for the first preset duration, the operating state of the air conditioner can no longer meet the first preset condition. The triggering of the serial number writing operation needs to be completed within the first preset duration of startup, avoiding the situation where the user makes the operating state of the air conditioner meet the first preset condition by coincidence operations, and reducing the probability of accidentally triggering the serial number writing operation.

[0072] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, when the air conditioner is a single-cooling model, the value of the heating operation check status parameter is always 1.

[0073] If the air conditioner is a single-cooling model, the air conditioner cannot perform the heating function test run. Therefore, the value of the heating operation check status parameter is directly set to 1 constantly, ensuring that the operating state of the air conditioner can meet the first preset condition within the first preset duration, that is, ensuring that the air conditioner can normally trigger the writing of the serial number.

[0074] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, when the operating state of the air conditioner meets the second preset condition, the serial number stored in the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board is cleared.

[0075] In some special cases, for example, due to production misoperation, the serial numbers of multiple air conditioners are the same. During the interaction between the air conditioners and the server, the control parameters of multiple air conditioners with the same serial number are confused with each other, thus affecting the user experience. The after-sales engineer can control the operation of the air conditioner according to the pre-specified operation method, making the operating state of the air conditioner meet the second preset condition, triggering the serial number clearing operation, and clearing the serial number stored in the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board; then, the operation of the air conditioner can be controlled again according to the pre-specified operation method, making the operating state of the air conditioner meet the first preset condition, so that the air conditioner forms a new serial number through the preset model code of the first circuit board and / or the second circuit board and the MAC code of the WiFi module, realizing the reset of the serial number.

[0076] It should be noted that since the operation of clearing the serial number is a relatively sensitive operation, the second preset condition can be a more stringent condition than the first preset condition. For example, it is to complete the switching of at least three different operating states within a preset time range, and the operating parameters of each operating state have strict restrictions, to avoid accidentally triggering the air conditioner to clear the serial number.

[0077] In the operation control method of the above embodiment, the air conditioner further includes a third circuit board, and the method further includes:

[0078] Write the serial number to the third circuit board.

[0079] It can be understood that an air conditioner may include more components and circuit boards. Therefore, if the air conditioner further includes a third circuit board that can store the serial number, writing the serial number to the third circuit board can back up the serial number of the air conditioner in more components.

[0080] Next, in combination with Figure 4 , a more clear and detailed introduction will be given to the operation control method of the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present invention. Among them, the air conditioner includes a main control circuit board and a display circuit board. The controller stores a refrigeration operation inspection status parameter CoolChked, a heating operation inspection status parameter HeatChked, and a first preset condition. For the refrigeration operation inspection status parameter CoolChked, if the air conditioner is in the refrigeration mode, the target set temperature is set to 17 degrees, the wind speed setting gear is set to the highest gear, and the operation time reaches 3 minutes, the value of the refrigeration operation inspection status parameter is set to 1, that is, CoolChked = 1. For the heating operation inspection status parameter HeatChked, if the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the target set temperature is set to 30 degrees, the wind speed setting gear is set to the highest gear, and the operation time reaches 3 minutes, the value of the heating operation inspection status parameter is set to 1, that is, HeatChked = 1. The first preset condition is set as: the values of the refrigeration operation inspection status parameter and the heating operation inspection status parameter are both 1, that is, CoolChked = 1 and HeatChked = 1.

[0081] The operation control method of the air conditioner specifically includes the following contents:

[0082] 1. Within n minutes after the air conditioner is powered on, determine whether the refrigeration operation inspection status parameter CoolChked is equal to 1 and whether the heating operation inspection status parameter HeatChked is equal to 1; if so, determine whether the main control circuit board stores the serial number of the air conditioner.
