Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning load monitoring, and in particular to a transformer and distribution air conditioning load monitoring terminal and method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning systems are essential equipment in modern buildings, especially in summer and winter, and play a vital role in regulating indoor temperature and comfort. However, existing air conditioning load monitoring technologies still have many deficiencies in energy efficiency management, intelligent regulation, and user experience, as shown below:

[0003] Incomplete data collection: Existing air conditioning monitoring systems usually only collect limited parameters, such as temperature and humidity, while ignoring the monitoring of power parameters such as three-phase current and voltage. This makes it impossible for the system to fully grasp the actual operating status and energy consumption of air conditioning equipment, making it difficult to conduct accurate energy efficiency analysis and optimization.

[0004] Lack of intelligent control capabilities: Most current air conditioning control systems rely on preset fixed modes and cannot be dynamically adjusted based on real-time data. For example, when the activity of people in the room changes, the system cannot automatically adjust the operating status of the air conditioner, resulting in increased energy consumption or reduced user comfort.

[0005] Unstable communication and data transmission: The existing system also has certain problems in data transmission and communication, especially in the wireless communication environment, the stability and reliability of data transmission are difficult to guarantee. This will lead to inaccurate monitoring data and affect the overall performance of the system.

[0006] Imperfect fault detection and recovery mechanism: Existing air-conditioning systems often lack timely fault detection and switching mechanisms when the main power fails, and cannot ensure the continuous operation of the air-conditioning system. This not only affects the user experience, but may also cause equipment damage.

[0007] Unfriendly user interface design: Many existing air conditioning monitoring systems have complex user interfaces and inconvenient operations, making it difficult for users to intuitively understand the system status or perform operations through the interface. This unfriendly design greatly reduces the ease of use and user satisfaction of the system.

[0008] Insufficient remote maintenance and upgrade capabilities: Currently, most air conditioning systems do not have remote maintenance and upgrade capabilities, and users can only rely on on-site technicians for maintenance and updates. This not only increases maintenance costs, but may also result in the system being unable to expand and optimize functions in a timely manner. Summary of the invention

[0092] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiment of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0093] Example 1

[0094] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention is provided, which provides a transformer and distribution air conditioner load monitoring terminal, including:

[0095] Data acquisition and monitoring module, used to collect three-phase current, voltage, and ambient temperature parameters in real time, and continuously monitor the operating status of the air-conditioning equipment, including but not limited to switch status, working mode, set temperature, wind speed and wind direction, and monitor the activities of people in the room;

[0096] Furthermore, the passive infrared sensor PIR and the ultrasonic sensor in the data acquisition and monitoring module are used in the following combination:

[0097] The passive infrared sensor and ultrasonic sensor work simultaneously to detect the activities of people in the room and send the data to the data acquisition and monitoring module for data fusion processing;

[0098] The passive infrared sensor (PIR) and ultrasonic sensor are turned on at the same time to detect the movement of people in the room independently. The PIR sensor detects changes in thermal radiation, and the ultrasonic sensor detects moving objects by emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves.

[0099] By using both sensors at the same time, the sensitivity and accuracy of human activity detection can be effectively improved. PIR sensors are sensitive to changes in thermal radiation, while ultrasonic sensors are sensitive to moving objects. The two complement each other and can more comprehensively monitor human activities in the room.

[0100] Using two sensors simultaneously can reduce false alarms through data fusion processing. When one sensor detects activity, it can be verified by the data from the other sensor, reducing the number of false positives caused by a single sensor.

[0101] The two sensors working simultaneously can provide more real-time and accurate data on personnel activities, helping the air-conditioning system to adjust its operating status in a timely manner and improve energy efficiency.

[0102] Set the passive infrared sensor as the main sensor and the ultrasonic sensor as the auxiliary sensor;

[0103] In daily use, the passive infrared sensor is set as the primary sensor, and the ultrasonic sensor is used as an auxiliary sensor for supplementary detection. The primary sensor works continuously, and the auxiliary sensor is activated for secondary confirmation when the primary sensor detects activity.

[0104] Setting the PIR sensor as the main sensor can reduce the frequent activation of the ultrasonic sensor, thereby reducing system power consumption, extending the service life of the sensor, and achieving energy-saving effects.

[0105] The primary sensor works continuously to provide basic data. When activity is detected, the auxiliary sensor starts to perform secondary confirmation, which improves the accuracy of detection and avoids unnecessary adjustments caused by false alarms from a single sensor.

[0106] By reducing the frequent activation of ultrasonic sensors, the wear and aging of sensors can be reduced, the service life of the equipment can be extended, and maintenance costs can be reduced.

[0107] According to the preset time period, the passive infrared sensor and ultrasonic sensor are alternately enabled to detect human activity.

[0108] According to the preset time period, the PIR sensor and ultrasonic sensor are alternately enabled for human activity detection. During a specific time period, one sensor is enabled for detection and the other sensor is in standby mode.

[0109] By alternately enabling sensors at preset time periods, flexible adjustments can be made according to usage requirements at different time periods. For example, when there is a large flow of people during the day, the ultrasonic sensor is enabled to ensure high sensitivity; when there is a small flow of people at night, the PIR sensor is enabled to save energy.

[0110] Alternating the activation of sensors can effectively reduce the overall energy consumption of the system and avoid the increase in energy consumption caused by turning on all sensors for a long time. At the same time, it also reduces the continuous working time of the sensors and reduces the load on the equipment.

[0111] According to the characteristics of different time periods, selecting appropriate sensors for detection can optimize the monitoring effect and improve the intelligent control ability of the air conditioning system. During peak hours, the alternating operation of dual sensors can provide more accurate detection data and improve the system response speed and control effect.

[0112] The data acquisition and monitoring module further includes a light sensor and a humidity sensor for monitoring ambient light and humidity parameters and adjusting the operating mode of the air conditioner according to these parameters.
