[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present application, an indoor communication node is provided.

[0035] Figure 1 is an indoor communication node according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the node includes:

[0036] 101. Configure a first communication module of a preset frequency band;

[0037] 102. A first communication device suitable for networking;

[0038] 103. A second communication module, wherein the second communication module is connected to the first communication module and the first communication device respectively to establish a communication connection between the first communication module and the first communication device;

[0039] 104. The first communication module is further adapted to perform wireless communication with each outdoor communication node respectively, so as to connect each outdoor communication node to the network through the first communication device, wherein each outdoor communication node includes a third communication module configured with a preset frequency band.

[0040] Among them, the first communication module and the third communication module of the preset frequency band of this application are Sub1G modules respectively, the first communication device is a routing device, and the second communication module is a WiFi module. Among them, Sub1G is a general term for communications below the 1GHz frequency band, and the preset frequency band in this application represents a frequency band below 1GHz. This application utilizes the strong penetration of Sub1G, and combines the characteristics of Wi-Fi wireless communication technology to enable external machine data to be directly connected to the Internet of Things, so as to realize the Internet of Things of the external machine, external machine OTA, fault diagnosis, remote management and big data analysis to control the external machine equipment.

[0041] Specifically, the first communication module is connected to the plurality of third communication modules via a star network structure, and is connected to the second communication module via a point-to-point network structure.

[0042] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the first communication module can be a Sub1G module in the indoor unit, and the first communication module serves as a central node in the indoor communication node. The third communication module can be a Sub1G module in the outdoor unit, and the Sub1G module can serve as a terminal node in the outdoor communication node. In other words, the star network consists of two network devices - the central node and the terminal node. The central node is the hub of the entire star network, and all terminal nodes are connected to the central node in a wireless form to communicate with the central node. The terminal nodes cannot communicate with each other, and must be forwarded through the central node to achieve mutual communication between the terminal nodes.

[0043] Specifically, the first communication module is also configured to receive uploaded data from any outdoor communication node and forward the uploaded data to a target outdoor communication node, wherein the target outdoor communication node is at least one outdoor communication node among multiple outdoor communication nodes excluding the any outdoor communication node.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first communication module can act as a central node to receive uploaded data from multiple outdoor communication nodes. For example, the multiple outdoor communication nodes may include: outdoor communication node a, outdoor communication node b, and outdoor communication node c. If data is to be exchanged between outdoor communication node a and outdoor communication node b, the uploaded data on outdoor communication node ac is received by the central node, and the data received from outdoor communication node a is forwarded to outdoor communication node b, thereby realizing data exchange between different outdoor communication nodes.

[0045] Among them, the first communication module is one of the invention points of this application. The first communication module is also configured with a soft router carrying a routing protocol to aggregate the uploaded data of each outdoor communication node to the indoor communication node.

[0046] Among them, the first communication module and the second communication module are connected by an SDIO interface (Secure Digital Input and Output, Chinese name: Secure Digital Input and Output, which defines a peripheral interface), that is, the indoor Sub-1G module, i.e. the central node, forms a point-to-point network structure with the Wi-Fi network module through an interface line.

[0047] For example, in order to realize the data receiving and sending function of the first communication module, the first communication module is configured with a soft router carrying a routing protocol. Through the soft router, the first communication module can collect data uploaded by the third communication module in each outdoor communication node and aggregate the data to the indoor communication node.

[0048] After the above data is aggregated to the indoor communication node, the first communication module is also configured to monitor the uploaded data of each outdoor communication node, and upload the monitoring result to the cloud server through the first communication device.

[0049] Exemplarily, the supervision method of the first communication module may include data classification, data identification, data adjudication, etc., and the supervision results are reported to the cloud server in real time for storage.

[0050] In another optional embodiment, the first communication module is further configured to upload the upload data of each outdoor communication node to the cloud server through the first communication device so as to be monitored by the cloud server.

[0051] For example, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, after the indoor Sub1G module obtains the uploaded data from each outdoor communication node, it forms a point-to-point network structure with the Wi-Fi network module through the interface line. The point-to-point network consists of an indoor Sub1G network device + network Wi-Fi module. In such a network structure, there is both a star network structure composed of Sub-1G and a point-to-point network structure composed of Sub1G + WiFi modules. The entire network architecture is connected to the Internet system through a router via the Wi-Fi module, and then connected to the corresponding home appliance network cloud server to achieve network coverage of the entire outdoor unit.

[0052] In an optional implementation, the first communication module is further configured to perform LAN communication with the control terminal through the first communication device to receive control instructions issued by the control terminal, and identify the control instructions to send them to the corresponding outdoor communication node.

[0053] Exemplarily, the control terminal may refer to the remote control device end of the air conditioner, or it may be the application control end of the air conditioner. This application is not limited to this. For example, when the control instruction is an instruction to increase the temperature of the air conditioner, the received terminal control instruction is identified by the first communication module, and the terminal control instruction is sent to the corresponding outdoor communication node, so that the outdoor communication node responds to the control instruction.

[0054] In another optional implementation, the first communication module is further configured to communicate with the cloud server via a wide area network through the first communication device to receive control instructions issued by the cloud server, and identify the control instructions to send them to the corresponding outdoor communication node.

[0055] Exemplarily, the control terminal may refer to a remote control device end of the air conditioner, or it may be an application control end of the air conditioner. This application is not limited to this. For example, when the control instruction is an instruction to increase the temperature of the air conditioner, the received cloud control instruction is identified by the first communication module, and the cloud control instruction is sent to the corresponding outdoor communication node, so that the outdoor communication node responds to and processes the control instruction.

[0056] Among them, management and control instructions can be sent from the control terminal to the cloud server.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is designed from the original point-to-point network structure to the current point-to-multiple star network structure, which can save N-1 network Sub1G nodes, and because there is only one Sub1G node indoors, the original main controller part can be cancelled, and there is no need to manage and arbitrate multiple Sub1G devices. This embodiment changes the data to be distinguished by the software protocol mark, that is, the data is aggregated to the indoor Sub1G node, and then forwarded to the router through the Transceiver module (WiFi module). The router connects the data to the Internet and imports it to the cloud. The cloud distinguishes, arbitrates and processes the data. This application realizes all-round wireless communication through the N+1 networking method, and uses the indoor Sub1G as the central main controller, which can reduce the number of indoor nodes, realize high-speed data transmission, and achieve a higher experience effect in a low-cost manner. Among them, N is a plurality of outdoor communication nodes, and 1 is a single indoor communication node.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner outdoor unit network access system, which can be used to execute the indoor communication node set in the embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner outdoor unit network access system provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

[0059] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the air conditioner outdoor unit network access system of the embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0060] 401. At least one air conditioner outdoor unit, each of which is provided with a third communication module configured with a preset frequency band;

[0061] 402. The indoor communication node performs wireless communication with the third communication module of each air conditioner outdoor unit respectively to connect each air conditioner outdoor unit to the network.

[0062] Specifically, the first communication module of the indoor communication node and the third communication module of the outdoor communication node can be modules of the Sub1G frequency band, wherein the indoor communication node respectively communicates wirelessly with the third communication module of each air conditioner outdoor unit, mainly using the corresponding Sub1G frequency band module to send and receive wireless signals.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the outdoor unit electronic control in each air-conditioning outdoor unit is communicatively connected to the corresponding third communication module.

[0064] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, each outdoor unit electronic control will be connected to a Sub1G module through a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter) interface, and then communicate with a single indoor Sub1G module across a complex environment. The function of the main controller will be integrated in the indoor Sub1G module to form a point-to-many star network structure, which is different from other point-to-point network structures. In addition, the indoor Sub1G module will be connected to a Transceiver module (also known as a WiFi module) through the SDIO interface to realize wireless network communication, connect all outdoor unit electronic control data to the Internet, and realize data access to the cloud, which can be used to distinguish, arbitrate and process functions of data.

[0065] The embodiment of the present application also provides a method for connecting an air conditioner to a network, which can be used to execute the indoor communication node provided in the embodiment of the present application. The method for connecting an air conditioner to a network provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

[0066] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the method for connecting an air conditioner outdoor unit to the network according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, including:

[0067] S601: receiving network access information sent by any air conditioner outdoor unit through the first communication module, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit is provided with a third communication module configured with a preset frequency band to establish a wireless communication connection with the first communication module.

[0068] S602: Verify the network access information, and after the verification is passed, connect the air conditioner outdoor unit to the network through the first communication device.

[0069] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the wireless communication between the first communication module and the third communication module can be represented as a Sub1G module of the indoor unit communicating with multiple Sub1G modules of the outdoor unit. The first communication module receives the data access request sent by the Sub1G module in any air-conditioning outdoor unit, parses the access information in the data access request, and verifies the access information. After the verification, all the outdoor unit electronic control data is connected to the Internet to access the cloud. All-round wireless communication is achieved through the N+1 networking mode. With the indoor Sub1G as the central main controller, the number of indoor nodes can be reduced, high-speed data transmission can be achieved, and a higher experience effect can be achieved in a low-cost way.

[0070] Optionally, the data transmission method involved in this application can be as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the communication structure can be designed as follows:

[0071] Point-to-point communication mode, point-to-multipoint (broadcast), and monitoring mode, these three communication modes are divided into transparent transmission mode according to the air-conditioning electronic control communication business mode. For example, the electronic control command, the data transmission mode realized by the point-to-point process is that the data sender and the receiver are transparent, and the two terminals interact directly, which can be the cloud and the target device end, or the mobile phone APP end and the target device end;

[0072] Point-to-multipoint mode is a broadcast mode, in which data is transmitted transparently between the sender and the receiver, from one party to multiple parties. In monitoring mode, a node is interested in a certain data type, and sets its own address to FFFF address to monitor for target data. The communication process is all under the same PANID (Personal Area Network ID).

[0073] Fixed-point transmission method, such as processing a special function for a certain external machine or processing the corresponding Sub1G communication module, configuration, pairing, entering engineering mode, etc.; the entire communication interaction uses a Wi-Fi module to enable multiple external machines to access the Internet, so as to realize the Internet of Things, external machine OTA, fault diagnosis, remote management and big data analysis of the external machine to control the external machine equipment.
