[0019] Reference Figure 1 The present application provides an intelligent control and adjustment method for refrigeration equipment, comprising the following steps: S1. Obtain necessary data including ambient temperature and refrigeration equipment performance parameters, and establish a prediction model based on the necessary data; In the step, the system first obtains the current outdoor temperature and the indoor initial temperature through the temperature sensors installed indoors and outdoors. These sensors can be independent devices or integrated into the refrigeration equipment. In addition, outdoor weather forecast data can be obtained through a third-party API interface to supplement the real-time temperature information. The acquired temperature data is transmitted to the central control unit through a wireless communication module (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). The central control unit establishes a dynamic model of cooling capacity and indoor temperature changes based on indoor space parameters (such as room size, wall material, etc.). This model describes the change of indoor temperature over time when the refrigeration equipment is working under given conditions. The acquired outdoor temperature and indoor initial temperature data are input into the dynamic model, and the model is trained using a machine learning algorithm (such as support vector machine, neural network, etc.), and finally a model that can predict the cooling effect is obtained.

[0020] S2. Based on the target usage time period and preset temperature range of the current place, pre-calculate the pre-cooling time according to the prediction model, determine the start time to achieve the preset temperature value, and start the refrigeration equipment; First, the system obtains the corresponding target usage time period according to the type of use place where the refrigeration equipment is located (such as home, office, commercial place, etc.). For example, for home places, the target usage time period can be determined based on the user's commuting time and working day; for office places, the target usage time period can be determined based on the user's office hours and office days; for commercial places, the target usage time period can be determined based on the business hours of the commercial place. The system also obtains the temperature range preset by the user, such as 22°C to 26°C. The preset temperature can be a fixed temperature preset by the user, or it can be the most suitable ambient temperature for the human body calculated by data based on the current season and weather temperature. Then, based on the trained prediction model, the cooling time required for the indoor temperature to reach the preset temperature range under the current ambient temperature is calculated. According to the calculated cooling time, it is determined how long before the start of the target usage time period the refrigeration equipment needs to be started. When the start time point is reached, the system controls the refrigeration equipment to start to ensure that the indoor temperature reaches the preset range within the target usage time period.

[0021] S3. Based on the current ambient temperature, calculate the duration for which the current indoor temperature can remain within the preset temperature range after the refrigeration equipment is turned off; After the refrigeration equipment has been running for a period of time, the system calculates the rate of change of the indoor temperature under the current ambient temperature. The trend of change can be predicted by the current indoor and outdoor temperature, house area, and indoor heat load. Specifically, the model is trained through the historical data of temperature changes under natural conditions in the past, and then the temperature change trend under the current natural state, that is, the rate of change, is estimated based on the model. Based on the rate of change, the system calculates the time (first duration) required for the current indoor temperature to exceed the preset temperature range under natural conditions (that is, non-refrigeration conditions). At the same time, the system can obtain the cold storage capacity of the chilled water pump and calculate the cooling time corresponding to the current cold storage capacity. Combining the first duration and the cooling time, the system calculates the duration of the current indoor temperature that can be maintained within the preset temperature range after the refrigeration equipment is turned off. Since the chilled water pump itself has a cold storage function, even after the host of the refrigeration equipment is turned off, the cold storage function of the chilled water pump itself can still be used to extend the duration of the current temperature. In addition, if the user needs to advance the time of shutting down the host in advance in order to further save energy, so as to save more energy, the user can set a fixed time to shut down the refrigeration equipment, and calculate if the temperature needs to be maintained within the preset temperature range at the end of the target usage time period. Based on the fixed time set by the user to shut down the refrigeration equipment in advance, calculate how much the water temperature of the chilled water pump needs to be lowered before shutting down the refrigeration equipment, so that the current environment can be maintained within the preset temperature range at the end of the target usage time period, and based on the calculation result, the water temperature of the chilled water pump is lowered accordingly before shutting down the refrigeration equipment.

[0022] Step S4: Calculate the deactivation time of the refrigeration equipment based on the duration and the target usage time period, and control the refrigeration equipment to shut down.

[0023] When the system recognizes that the current time plus the duration exceeds the end time of the target usage time period, it determines that the current time is the deactivation time of the refrigeration equipment. The system controls the host of the refrigeration equipment to shut down, but the chilled water pump continues to run to use the remaining cold storage to maintain the indoor temperature within the preset range.

[0024] In one embodiment, the step of acquiring necessary data including ambient temperature and refrigeration equipment performance parameters, and establishing a prediction model based on the necessary data includes: S11, obtaining outdoor temperature data and indoor initial temperature data collected by indoor temperature sensors in real time through an outdoor temperature sensor or a third-party API interface, and transmitting the outdoor temperature data and the indoor initial temperature data to a central control unit through a wireless communication module; S12. According to the indoor space parameters, a dynamic model of cooling capacity and indoor temperature change is established, the outdoor temperature measurement value and the indoor initial temperature measurement value are input into the dynamic model, and the dynamic model is trained using a machine learning algorithm to obtain a prediction model of the cooling effect after training.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outdoor temperature sensor is installed outdoors for real-time monitoring of the outdoor temperature. The indoor temperature sensor is installed indoors for collecting the indoor initial temperature. These sensors transmit temperature data to the central control unit through a wireless communication module (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). The central control unit can be a controller installed locally or a cloud server. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the data, the system can also obtain outdoor weather forecast data through a third-party API interface. These data include information such as temperature changes, humidity, wind speed, etc. in the next few hours, which helps to more accurately predict the trend of indoor temperature changes. The central control unit establishes a dynamic model that describes the relationship between cooling capacity and indoor temperature changes based on indoor space parameters (such as room area, wall material, number of windows, etc.). The model can be a physical model that describes the change of indoor temperature over time when the refrigeration equipment is working under given conditions. The acquired outdoor temperature and indoor initial temperature data are input into the dynamic model, and the model is trained using a machine learning algorithm (such as a decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, neural network, etc.). During the training process, the system will continuously adjust the parameters of the model so that the prediction results of the model are as close as possible to the actual temperature change data. Finally, a model that can predict the cooling effect is obtained. The model can be used to predict the changing trend of indoor temperature when the refrigeration equipment is running under different environmental conditions.

[0026] In one embodiment, the step of precalculating the precooling time according to the prediction model based on the target usage time period and the preset temperature range of the current place, determining the start time for achieving the preset temperature value, and starting the refrigeration equipment includes: S21. Based on the type of the place where the refrigeration equipment is used, obtaining a corresponding target usage time period; S22, obtaining a preset temperature range; S23, calculating the cooling time required for the indoor temperature to reach a preset temperature range under the current ambient temperature based on the prediction model; S24, based on the duration of the cooling time, determining the time point at which the refrigeration equipment needs to be started when the target usage time period reaches a preset temperature range; S25: If the time point for starting the refrigeration equipment is reached, control the refrigeration equipment to start.

[0027] In this embodiment, the system obtains the corresponding target usage time period according to the type of use place where the refrigeration equipment is located (such as home, office, commercial place, etc.). For example, for home-type places, the target usage time period can be determined based on the user's commuting time and working day; for office-type places, the target usage time period can be determined based on the user's office hours and working days; for commercial places, the target usage time period can be determined based on the business hours of the commercial place. The user can select the type of place where the equipment is used through the interface of the central control unit, and the system will automatically obtain the corresponding target usage time period according to the user's selection. For example, if the user selects a home-type place, the system will determine the target usage time period based on the user's commuting time and working day; if the user selects an office-type place, the system will determine the target usage time period based on the user's office hours and working days; if the user selects a commercial place, the system will determine the target usage time period based on the business hours of the commercial place. The user can set a preset temperature range, such as 22°C to 26°C, through the interface of the central control unit. The central control unit can store these temperature range values ​​in the memory for subsequent calculation and use. The preset temperature range can be adjusted according to the user's comfort requirements, for example, it can be set to 22°C to 26°C in summer and 18°C ​​to 22°C in winter. The system inputs the current ambient temperature (including outdoor temperature and indoor temperature) into the trained prediction model and calculates the cooling time required for the indoor temperature to reach the preset temperature range. The calculation result of the cooling time will be used to determine the start time of the cooling equipment. To improve the accuracy of the calculation, the system can consider multiple factors, such as changes in outdoor temperature, changes in indoor heat load, performance parameters of the cooling equipment, etc. For example, if the outdoor temperature is high, the system will predict that the indoor temperature will rise faster, so a longer cooling time is required; if the indoor heat load is large, the system will predict that the indoor temperature will fall slowly, so a longer cooling time is also required. Based on the calculated cooling time, the system determines how long before the target usage time period begins that the cooling equipment needs to be started. For example, if the cooling time is 1 hour and the target usage time period starts at 9 am, the system will determine that the cooling equipment needs to be started at 8 am. In order to ensure that the indoor temperature reaches the preset range within the target usage time period, the system will consider a certain safety margin. For example, if the cooling time is 1 hour, the system may start the cooling equipment 1.2 hours in advance to ensure that the indoor temperature is stable within the preset range during the target usage time period. When the system recognizes that the current time has reached the start-up time point, it controls the refrigeration equipment to start up to ensure that the indoor temperature reaches the preset range within the target usage time period. During the startup process, the system monitors the changes in the indoor temperature. If the indoor temperature is close to the preset range, the system can appropriately reduce the power of the refrigeration equipment to avoid the indoor temperature being too low.

[0028] In one embodiment, the step of acquiring the corresponding target usage time period based on the type of the usage location of the refrigeration equipment includes: S31, obtaining the device usage location type input by the user; S32: If the current space type is home, determine the target usage time period based on the user's commuting time and working date; S33: If the current space type is an office space, determine the target usage time period based on the user's office hours and office dates; S34: If the currently used space type is a commercial venue, determine the target use time period based on the business hours of the commercial venue.

[0029] In this embodiment, the user can select the type of place where the device is used, such as home, office, commercial place, etc. through the interface of the central control unit. The central control unit stores this information in the memory for subsequent calculation and use. In order to facilitate the user's selection, the system can provide multiple place type options, such as home, office, commercial place, hospital, school, etc. The user can select the appropriate place type according to the actual use scenario. If the current space type is a home type, the system will determine the target use time period according to the user's commuting time and working date. For example, if the user's working hours are from 9 am to 6 pm, the system will determine the target use time period from 6 pm to 9 am the next day. In order to improve accuracy, the system can consider the user's personal habits, such as whether he is at home on weekends, whether he travels on holidays, etc. The user can set this information through the interface of the central control unit, and the system will automatically adjust the target use time period according to the user's settings. If the current space type is an office type, the system will determine the target use time period according to the user's office hours and office dates. For example, if the user's office hours are from 9 am to 6 pm, the system will determine the target use time period from 9 am to 6 pm. In order to improve accuracy, the system can consider the actual use of the office, such as whether there is overtime, whether there is a meeting, etc. The user can set this information through the interface of the central control unit, and the system will automatically adjust the target usage time period according to the user's settings. Among them, during irregular startup time periods, such as weekends or holidays, a confirmation tweet is sent to the user's device before startup. If the user's confirmation instruction is detected, pre-cooling can be turned on. If the current space type is a commercial venue, the system will determine the target usage time period based on the business hours of the commercial venue. For example, if the business hours of a commercial venue are from 10 am to 10 pm, the system will determine the target usage time period as 10 am to 10 pm. In order to improve accuracy, the system can take into account the actual usage of commercial venues, such as whether there are special activities, whether there is a break, etc. Users can set this information through the interface of the central control unit, and the system will automatically adjust the target usage time period according to the user's settings.

[0030] In one embodiment, the step of calculating, based on the current ambient temperature, the duration for which the current indoor temperature can remain within the preset temperature range after the refrigeration device is turned off, comprises: S41, calculating the rate of change of the indoor temperature under the current ambient temperature; S42, calculating a first time required for the current indoor temperature to exceed the limit of the preset temperature range based on the change rate; S43, obtaining the cold storage capacity of the chilled water pump and calculating the cooling time corresponding to the current cold storage capacity; S44, calculating the total time that the current indoor temperature remains within a preset range based on the first duration and the cooling time; In this embodiment, the system calculates the indoor temperature change rate at the current ambient temperature by the temperature change of the indoor temperature sensor within a certain period of time. For example, if the indoor temperature can rise by 1°C within 10 minutes under natural conditions according to historical records, the change rate is 0.1°C / minute. In order to improve the accuracy of the calculation, the system can consider multiple factors, such as changes in outdoor temperature, changes in indoor heat load, performance parameters of refrigeration equipment, etc. For example, if the outdoor temperature is high, the system will predict that the indoor temperature will rise faster, so the change rate will be larger; based on the calculated indoor temperature change rate, the system calculates the time required for the current indoor temperature to exceed the preset temperature range (the first duration). For example, if the current indoor temperature is 22°C, the preset temperature range is 22°C to 26°C, and the change rate is 0.1°C / minute, then the time required for the indoor temperature to exceed 26°C is 40 minutes. In order to improve the accuracy of the calculation, the system can consider the change trend of the indoor temperature. For example, if the indoor temperature change trend is relatively stable, the system will predict that the indoor temperature will exceed the preset temperature range for a longer time; if the indoor temperature change trend is more drastic, the system will predict that the indoor temperature will exceed the preset temperature range for a shorter time. The system then obtains the cold storage capacity of the chilled water pump, which is the total cold storage capacity of the chilled water pump and its related cold storage system. The cold storage capacity is usually expressed in joules (J). The system calculates the cooling time corresponding to the current cold storage capacity. The cooling time refers to the cooling time that the cold storage capacity can provide under the current indoor heat load and the cooling effect of the chilled water pump. The formula is as follows: ; Among them: Q 蓄冷 is the cooling capacity of the chilled water pump (unit: J); P 热负荷 is the indoor heat load (unit: W); P 泵 is the cooling effect of the chilled water pump (unit: W); based on the first duration and the cooling time, the system calculates the duration that the current indoor temperature can be maintained within the preset temperature range after the refrigeration equipment is turned off. The formula is as follows: t 总 =min(t,t 蓄冷 ) Where: t is the time required for the indoor temperature to reach the preset upper temperature limit from the current value (unit: s) t 蓄冷 is the cooling time that the cold storage can provide (unit: s).

[0031] In one embodiment, after the step of calculating the rate of change of the indoor temperature under the current ambient temperature, the following steps are included: S51, obtaining the pedestrian flow monitoring data in the database; S52, calculating the number of personnel loads corresponding to the current space from the time period between the end time of the target usage time period and the time period based on the passenger flow monitoring data; S53: Based on the number of personnel loads, use a prediction model to calculate and update the rate of change of the indoor temperature under the existing ambient temperature.

[0032] The system obtains traffic monitoring data from the database, which can come from cameras, infrared sensors and other devices. Traffic data can help the system understand the number of people and activities in the current space. Based on the traffic monitoring data, the system calculates the number of people in the current space from the current time to the end of the target usage time period. The number of people will affect the rate of change of the indoor temperature. The next flow of people can also be predicted from historical data, such as taking a weekly or monthly data cycle to identify how much people are in the current place on the date or time point in the corresponding cycle, especially in large places such as shopping malls and schools with large traffic and frequent personnel flow. The system uses the number of people as input and uses the prediction model to calculate and update the rate of change of the indoor temperature under the existing ambient temperature. The updated rate of change will be used in subsequent calculations to improve the accuracy of the prediction.

[0033] In one embodiment, the step of calculating the deactivation time of the refrigeration device based on the duration and the target usage time period, and controlling the refrigeration device to shut down includes: S61, when it is identified that the sum of the current time and the duration exceeds the end time of the target usage time period, determining that the current time is the deactivation time; S62: Control the host of the refrigeration equipment to shut down based on the deactivation time, wherein the chilled water pump continues to run.

[0034] The system will monitor the current time in real time and add it to the calculated duration to determine whether it exceeds the end time of the target usage time period. For example, if the current time is 8 pm, the duration is 30 minutes, and the end time of the target usage time period is 10 pm, then the system will calculate whether 8 pm plus 30 minutes exceeds 10 pm. If it exceeds 10 pm, the system determines that the current time is the deactivation time. When the system determines that the current time is the deactivation time, the host controlling the refrigeration equipment is turned off, but the chilled water pump continues to run to use the remaining cold storage to maintain the indoor temperature within the preset range. This can save energy without affecting comfort.
