[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 5 The invention describes a linkage control method, device, equipment and duct air conditioner of a duct air conditioner, which can control the operation of multiple target indoor units with users only by receiving an indoor unit operation instruction once, thereby improving the linkage intelligence of the duct air conditioner.

[0050] The present invention also discloses a duct air conditioner, comprising an outdoor unit and multiple indoor units, and a controller respectively connected to the outdoor unit and each indoor unit through electrical signals. When the controller is executed, steps of a linkage control method of the duct air conditioner are implemented.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, it is one of the implementation flow diagrams of a linkage control method for a duct air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present invention. A linkage control method for a duct air conditioner may include but is not limited to steps S100 to S400.

[0052] S100, receiving an indoor unit operation instruction sent by a user;

[0053] S200, analyzing and processing the indoor unit operation instruction to determine the number of indoor units to be operated indicated by the indoor unit operation instruction;

[0054] S300, when the number of indoor units is indicated as multiple, obtaining the location information of each of the indoor units to be operated in a preset house layout diagram, and identifying the number of users in the room corresponding to each of the indoor units to be operated;

[0055] S400, according to the number of users in each room and the location information of the indoor units to be operated in each room, determine the same number of target indoor units as the number of indoor units to be operated from multiple indoor units to be operated, and control the operation of the target indoor units according to the indoor unit operation instructions.

[0056] It should be noted that the execution subject of the linkage control method of the duct air conditioner in the embodiment of the present invention may be a hardware device with data information processing capability and / or the necessary software required to drive the hardware device to work.

[0057] Optionally, the execution subject may include but is not limited to workstations, servers, computers, user terminals and other intelligent devices. Among them, user terminals include but are not limited to mobile phones, computers, intelligent voice interaction devices, smart home appliances, vehicle-mounted terminals, etc.

[0058] In step S100 of some embodiments, an indoor unit operation instruction sent by a user is received.

[0059] It can be understood that the controller receives indoor unit operation instructions issued by the user through terminal devices such as voice, remote control, and mobile phone.

[0060] In step S200 of some embodiments, the indoor unit operation instruction is analyzed and processed to determine the number of indoor units to be operated indicated by the indoor unit operation instruction.

[0061] It is understandable that after executing step S100 of receiving the indoor unit operation instruction sent by the user, the specific execution step may be to analyze and process the indoor unit operation instruction to determine the number of indoor units to be operated indicated by the indoor unit operation instruction.

[0062] In step S300 of some embodiments, when the number of indoor units is indicated as multiple, the location information of each of the indoor units to be operated in the preset house layout diagram is obtained, and the number of users in the room corresponding to each of the indoor units to be operated is identified.

[0063] It can be understood that after executing step S200 to analyze and process the indoor unit operation instruction and determine the number of indoor units to be operated indicated by the indoor unit operation instruction, the specific execution steps may be: when the number of indoor units is indicated as multiple, obtain the location information of each indoor unit to be operated in the preset house layout diagram, and identify the number of users in the room corresponding to each of the indoor units to be operated.

[0064] That is, the location information of each indoor unit to be operated is obtained, and the number of users in the room corresponding to each indoor unit to be operated is identified through the infrared recognition function of each indoor unit.

[0065] In step S400 of some embodiments, based on the number of users in each room and the location information of the indoor units to be operated in each room, target indoor units of the same number as the number of indoor units to be operated are determined from multiple indoor units to be operated, and the operation of the target indoor units is controlled according to the indoor unit operation instructions.

[0066] It is understandable that after executing step S300, the specific execution steps may be: firstly sort the indoor units to be operated in each room according to the number of users in the corresponding room, and determine the indoor units to be operated whose number of users is greater than a preset threshold number.

[0067] According to the location information of the indoor unit to be operated in each room, the target indoor unit is determined from a plurality of indoor units to be operated whose number of users is greater than a preset threshold.

[0068] The to-be-operated indoor units in each room are sorted according to the number of users in the corresponding room, and the to-be-operated indoor units whose number of users is greater than a preset threshold number are determined, for example, the numbers of users are 4, 3, 0, 1, and 0. The preset threshold number is 1, and the to-be-operated indoor units whose number of users is greater than the preset threshold number are screened out, i.e., the indoor units in the room with 4 users and the indoor units in the room with 3 users.

[0069] According to the location information of the indoor unit to be operated in each room, the target indoor unit is determined from the plurality of indoor units to be operated whose number of users is greater than a preset threshold. If the indoor unit in the room with 4 users is adjacent to the indoor unit in the room with 3 users, then the indoor unit in the room with 4 users and the indoor unit in the room with 3 users are both target indoor units. If the indoor unit in the room with 4 users is spaced from the indoor unit in the room with 3 users, then the indoor unit in the room with 4 users is the target indoor unit, or the indoor units in the room with 3 users are all target indoor units.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the target indoor unit includes at least: a first indoor unit and a second indoor unit.

[0071] After the step of controlling the operation of the target indoor unit according to the indoor unit operation instruction, the method further includes:

[0072] When the first indoor unit receives a function operation instruction and the second indoor unit does not receive the function operation instruction, a positional relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is determined according to the position information of the first indoor unit and the position information of the second indoor unit.

[0073] According to the positional relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit, it is determined whether to send the function operation instruction to the second indoor unit.

[0074] It can be understood that, assuming that the indoor unit in the room with 4 users is the first indoor unit, the indoor unit in the room with 3 users is the second indoor unit.

[0075] When the first indoor unit receives a function operation instruction and the second indoor unit does not receive the function operation instruction, a positional relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is determined according to the position information of the first indoor unit and the position information of the second indoor unit.

[0076] like Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the position relationship of the indoor units provided by the present invention. Taking the first indoor unit as device A and the second indoor unit as device B as an example, the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are in an adjacent relationship. Taking the first indoor unit as device A and the second indoor unit as device C as an example, the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are in an interval relationship.

[0077] Furthermore, device D is adjacent to device B / device C, and is spaced from device A.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, a location layout diagram of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is constructed according to the location information of the first indoor unit and the location information of the second indoor unit.

[0079] The positional layout diagram of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is matched with the house layout diagram to determine the positional relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit.

[0080] Furthermore, based on the location information of the first indoor unit and the location information of the second indoor unit, a location layout diagram of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is constructed, and the location layout diagram of the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is matched with the house layout diagram to determine the positional relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit.

[0081] For example, the first indoor unit is device A, and the second indoor unit is device D. Device A and device D construct a location layout map, and the location layout map and the house layout map are matched and processed to determine that the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is an interval relationship.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of determining whether to send the function operation instruction to the second indoor unit according to the positional relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit may specifically be:

[0083] When the position relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is indicated as an adjacent relationship, it is determined that the function operation instruction is sent to the second indoor unit so that the second indoor unit synchronizes the same operation function as the first indoor unit to improve the user experience.

[0084] When the positional relationship between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit is indicated as a spaced relationship, it is determined not to send the function operation instruction to the second indoor unit, and not to synchronize the same operation function of the second indoor unit with the first indoor unit.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present invention, after the step of controlling the operation of the target indoor unit according to the indoor unit operation instruction, the method further includes:

[0086] When the target indoor unit has an operating time greater than or equal to a preset time threshold, identifying the number of users in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit;

[0087] When it is determined that there is no user in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit, a shutdown instruction is generated, and the target indoor unit is controlled to shut down according to the shutdown instruction.

[0088] It can be understood that after the step of controlling the operation of the target indoor unit according to the indoor unit operation instruction, the operation time of the target indoor unit is counted by using a timer, and the operation time of the target indoor unit is compared with a preset time threshold, and when the operation time of the target indoor unit is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, the number of users in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit is identified. For example, if the target indoor unit has been running for 30 minutes, the number of users in the room is identified.

[0089] When the number of users is 0, that is, there is no user in the room corresponding to the target indoor unit, a shutdown instruction is generated, and the target indoor unit is controlled to shut down according to the shutdown instruction to achieve energy saving.

[0090] Figure 3 This is the second flow chart of the linkage control method of a duct air conditioner provided by the present invention. A single duct air conditioner can have infrared recognition for number detection, negative ion sterilization for air sterilization, purification and filtration for air purification, and equipment house layout positioning setting functions. When a single device is running, it operates according to the single-room control parameters. When more than one device is running, the duct air conditioner performs number recognition to determine the number of people and unoccupied rooms. When the single-room wire controller adjusts the performance, it only controls the corresponding matching air conditioner, and the adjustment of additional functions, such as negative ions, purification and filtration, is controlled jointly. The operating device information is fed back centrally, and if the adjacent device is running, the additional function is turned on synchronously when it is changed. If the adjacent device is not running, it will not be turned on. Devices with interval relationships do not run synchronously.

[0091] The present invention provides a linkage control method, device, equipment and duct air conditioner for a duct air conditioner, which receives an indoor unit operation instruction issued by a user; analyzes and processes the indoor unit operation instruction to determine the number of indoor units to be operated indicated by the indoor unit operation instruction; when the number of indoor units indicated is multiple, obtains the position information of each indoor unit to be operated in a preset house layout diagram, and identifies the number of users in the room corresponding to each indoor unit to be operated; according to the number of users in each room and the position information of the indoor unit to be operated in each room, determines the same number of target indoor units as the number of indoor units from multiple indoor units to be operated, and controls the operation of the target indoor units according to the indoor unit operation instruction. It only needs to receive the indoor unit operation instruction once to control the operation of multiple target indoor units with users, thereby improving the linkage intelligence of the duct air conditioner.
