This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0056] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a device provided in an embodiment of the present application. A device provided in this embodiment includes: a first thermostat, a second thermostat and a device to be controlled, and the first thermostat and the second thermostat have the same structure. The first thermostat and the second thermostat both include a communication module, a relay module, a signal detection module, a power supply module and a low-power module. Among them, for the first thermostat and the second thermostat, the power supply module in the first thermostat is respectively connected to the communication module, the relay module, the signal detection module and the low-power module in the thermostat, and similarly, the power supply module in the second thermostat is respectively connected to the communication module, the relay module, the signal detection module and the low-power module in the thermostat, and the power supply module is connected to 24V AC to power the communication module, the relay module, the signal detection module and the low-power module connected thereto, and the two power supply modules share the same 24V power supply.

[0057] Both relay modules are connected to the device to be controlled, and each relay module is used to output a control signal to the device to be controlled. Specifically, each relay module includes multiple control paths, and each relay module outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled through the multiple control paths to realize the operation of the device to be controlled. The device to be controlled can be a compressor, a four-way valve, an internal fan, an electric heater, etc.

[0058] The signal detection module in the first thermostat is connected to the relay module, and the signal detection module in the second thermostat is connected to the relay module. The signal detection module is used to detect the control signal output by the relay module connected thereto to determine whether the control signal output by the relay module is abnormal. Specifically, the signal detection module is connected to multiple control paths in the relay module to detect whether the control signal output by each control path is abnormal.

[0059] The two communication modules are connected to each other, and each communication module is used for information exchange between the first thermostat and the second thermostat.

[0060] The two low-power modules are connected, and the low-power modules in the first thermostat and the second thermostat are used to detect the low-power activation signal, so as to wake up the other thermostat in the low-power state when the low-power activation signal is detected. The input of the low-power module in the first thermostat is provided by the output of the low-power module in the second thermostat, and similarly, the input of the low-power module in the second thermostat is provided by the output of the low-power module in the first thermostat.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first thermostat and the second thermostat also include a control device. The control device in the first thermostat is respectively connected to the communication module, relay module, signal detection module and power supply module in the first thermostat. Similarly, the control device in the second thermostat is respectively connected to the communication module, relay module, signal detection module and power supply module in the second thermostat. The power supply module is also used to power the control device. Each control device exchanges information with the communication module, relay module and signal detection module connected to it to complete the control of the device to be controlled in the equipment.

[0062] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of a control method of a device provided in an embodiment of the present application. A control method of a device provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0063] S201: When it is determined that the relay module in the first thermostat needs to output a control signal, control the relay module to output a control signal.

[0064] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned device is a household unit, and the executor of the above-mentioned method is the control device in the first thermostat. The control signal is used to control the device to be controlled in the device. When the control device in the first thermostat determines that the device to be controlled needs to be controlled, it outputs a corresponding signal to the relay module in the first thermostat so that the relay module outputs a control signal. After the relay module outputs the control signal, in order to ensure the reliability of the device and improve the user experience, the control signal output by the relay module is detected by the signal detection module in the first thermostat to detect whether there is an abnormality in the control signal output by the relay module, so that when there is an abnormality in the control signal output by the relay module, the first thermostat in the device is switched to ensure the reliable use of the device and improve the user experience.

[0065] S202: Acquire detection information corresponding to the control signal detected by the signal detection module in the first temperature controller.

[0066] In this embodiment, after the relay module outputs the control signal, the detection information corresponding to the control signal can be detected by the signal detection module connected to the relay module in the first thermostat. The above detection information includes whether the control signal is normal and whether the control signal is abnormal. After the signal detection module detects the detection information corresponding to the control signal, the signal detection module transmits the detection information corresponding to the control signal to the control device in the device, so that the control device obtains the detection information corresponding to the control signal, thereby enabling the control device to switch and control the first thermostat according to the detection information corresponding to the control signal.

[0067] S203: When the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the second thermostat receives the control request, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled to control the device to be controlled.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the detection information is that the control signal is normal, there is no need to switch the first thermostat, and the control signal output by the relay module can be directly used to control the device to be controlled. When the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, continuing to use the thermostat to control the device to be controlled will affect the reliable use of the equipment, thereby affecting the user's experience. Therefore, when the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, the control device in the first thermostat sends a control request for controlling the device to be controlled to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the control device in the second thermostat receives the control request, the control device in the second thermostat exchanges information with the relay module, so that the relay module in the second thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled, thereby achieving control of the device to be controlled.

[0069] Among them, a normal control signal indicates that the control signal output by the relay module is 24V, and an abnormal control signal indicates that the control signal output by the relay module is not 24V. When switching to the second thermostat to control the device to be controlled, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs the above control signal, and at the same time, the signal detection module connected to the relay module detects the control signal output by the above relay module to obtain the detection information corresponding to the control signal. When the detection information shows that the control signal is normal, the relay module in the second thermostat can continue to be used to control the device to be controlled. When the detection information shows that the control signal is abnormal, it indicates that the second thermostat is also abnormal. At this time, a fault is reported and a code is displayed, and the control of the device to be controlled is stopped.

[0070] Specifically, in the above step S203, when the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, sending a control request to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat includes:

[0071] When the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, a low-power activation signal is sent to the low-power module in the second thermostat through the low-power module in the first thermostat, so that when the low-power module in the second thermostat receives the low-power activation signal, the second thermostat activates the communication module, the relay module and the signal detection module in the second thermostat;

[0072] After the second thermostat activates the communication module, the relay module and the signal detection module in the second thermostat, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first thermostat and the second thermostat can be installed in different positions required by the user. Specifically, the thermostat that controls the device to be controlled is set to the first thermostat, and the thermostat that does not control the device to be controlled is set to the second thermostat. Both the first thermostat and the second thermostat can be set to a low power consumption state. Among them, when the first thermostat is required to work, the first thermostat is in a non-low power consumption state, and the second thermostat is in a low power consumption state to reduce energy consumption. When it is necessary to switch the first thermostat to the second thermostat, since the second thermostat is in a low power consumption state, the low power consumption module in the first thermostat first outputs a low power consumption activation signal to the low power consumption module in the second thermostat, thereby activating all modules in the second thermostat, and then using the second thermostat to control the device to be controlled.

[0074] Among them, after the first thermostat is switched to the second thermostat to control the device to be controlled, the second thermostat is set to the first thermostat, and the first thermostat is set to the second thermostat, so that when the first thermostat controls the device to be controlled, if the second thermostat has not been operated for a period of time, the second thermostat enters a low power consumption state, thereby reducing energy loss.

[0075] A control method for a device provided in the present embodiment is provided by setting two identical thermostats in the device and setting a signal detection module connected to the respective relay modules in each thermostat, so that when the relay module in one thermostat outputs a control signal, the detection information of the control signal is obtained through the signal detection module connected to the relay module, so that when the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, communication can be carried out through the communication modules provided in the two thermostats, so that the relay module in the other thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled, thereby realizing the control of the device to be controlled, and further, when one thermostat in the device fails, control can be switched to another thermostat, thereby ensuring the reliable use of the device and improving the user experience.

[0076] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flow chart of another device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. A device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0077] S301: When it is determined that a relay module in a first thermostat needs to output a control signal, a first operating time of the first thermostat is determined.

[0078] S302: When the first working time does not reach the first preset time, controlling the relay module to output a control signal.

[0079] For steps S201 and S202, the first preset duration is used to characterize the need to switch the first thermostat to the lower limit of the first working duration corresponding to the second thermostat. The first working duration is used to characterize the working duration of the first thermostat. In order to avoid a single thermostat working for a long time and affecting the service life of the thermostat, it can be balanced in a round-robin manner. Therefore, when it is determined that the relay module in the first thermostat needs to output a control signal, the first working duration of the first thermostat is determined. When the first working duration does not reach the first preset duration, it indicates that there is no need to switch the first thermostat. At this time, the relay module in the first thermostat continues to control the output of the control signal; when the first working duration reaches the first preset duration, it indicates that the first thermostat needs to be switched. At this time, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the second thermostat receives the control request, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled to control the device to be controlled.

[0080] It should be noted that the first preset duration can be set according to actual needs, and the specific value of the first preset duration is not limited in this embodiment.

[0081] S303: Acquire detection information corresponding to the control signal detected by the signal detection module in the first temperature controller.

[0082] S304: When the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the second thermostat receives the control request, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled to control the device to be controlled.

[0083] Regarding the above-mentioned step S303 and step S304, step S303 is consistent with the above-mentioned step S202, and step S304 is consistent with the above-mentioned step S203. For details, please refer to the above-mentioned step S202 and step S203, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0084] A control method for a device provided in the present embodiment is provided by setting two identical thermostats in the device and setting a signal detection module connected to the respective relay modules in each thermostat, so that when the relay module in one thermostat outputs a control signal, the detection information of the control signal is obtained through the signal detection module connected to the relay module, so that when the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, communication can be carried out through the communication modules provided in the two thermostats, so that the relay module in the other thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled, thereby realizing the control of the device to be controlled, and further, when one thermostat in the device fails, control can be switched to another thermostat, thereby ensuring the reliable use of the device and improving the user experience.

[0085] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flow chart of another device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. A device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0086] S401: When it is determined that the relay module in the first temperature controller needs to output a control signal, a control path in the relay module for outputting the control signal is determined.

[0087] S402: Determine a first on-off number of a control path for outputting a control signal in a relay module.

[0088] S403: When the first on-off number does not reach the first preset number, a control path for outputting a control signal in the control relay module is controlled to output a control signal.

[0089] For steps S401 to S403, the first preset number of times is used to characterize the lower limit of the first on-off number corresponding to switching the first thermostat to the second thermostat. In order to avoid a single thermostat working for a long time and affecting the service life of the thermostat, it can be balanced in a round-robin manner. Therefore, when it is determined that the relay module in the first thermostat needs to output a control signal, the first on-off number of the control path used to output the control signal in the relay is determined. When the first on-off number does not reach the first preset number, it indicates that there is no need to switch the first thermostat, and the relay module in the first thermostat continues to control the output of the control signal; when the first general number reaches the first preset number, it indicates that the first thermostat needs to be switched. At this time, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the second thermostat receives the control request, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled to control the device to be controlled.

[0090] It should be noted that the first preset number of times can be set according to actual needs, and the specific value of the first preset time length is not limited in this embodiment. The first thermostat and the second thermostat have independent counts for the number of on-off times of each control path in each of them, for example, from disconnection to conduction, the number of times +1, from conduction to disconnection, the number of times +1. An independent switching threshold can be set for the number of on-off times of each control path. When the number of on-off times of a control path reaches the corresponding switching threshold, the thermostat with signal control will send a control request to the other thermostat through the communication module. When the other thermostat receives the control request, it will take over the existing thermostat for signal output.

[0091] S404: Acquire detection information corresponding to the control signal detected by the signal detection module in the first thermostat.

[0092] S405: When the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the second thermostat receives the control request, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled to control the device to be controlled.

[0093] Regarding the above-mentioned step S404 and step S405, step S404 is consistent with the above-mentioned step S202, and step S405 is consistent with the above-mentioned step S203. For details, please refer to the above-mentioned step S202 and step S203, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0094] A control method for a device provided in the present embodiment is provided by setting two identical thermostats in the device and setting a signal detection module connected to the respective relay modules in each thermostat, so that when the relay module in one thermostat outputs a control signal, the detection information of the control signal is obtained through the signal detection module connected to the relay module, so that when the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, communication can be carried out through the communication modules provided in the two thermostats, so that the relay module in the other thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled, thereby realizing the control of the device to be controlled, and further, when one thermostat in the device fails, control can be switched to another thermostat, thereby ensuring the reliable use of the device and improving the user experience.

[0095] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flow chart of another device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. A device control method provided in an embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0096] S501: When it is determined that a relay module in the first thermostat needs to output a control signal, a second working duration of the first thermostat and a second on-off number of a control path in the relay module for outputting the control signal are determined.

[0097] S502: Determine a target state value corresponding to the first thermostat according to the second working duration and the second on-off number.

[0098] S503: When the target state value does not reach the preset state value, the control path for outputting the control signal in the control relay module is controlled to output the control signal.

[0099] For the above-mentioned steps S501 to S503, the target state value is used to characterize the degree of use of the first thermostat, and the preset state value is used to characterize the lower limit of the target state value corresponding to switching the first thermostat to the second thermostat. In order to avoid a single thermostat working for a long time and affecting the service life of the thermostat, it can be balanced in a round-robin manner. Therefore, when it is determined that the relay module in the first thermostat needs to output a control signal, it can be done in a round-robin manner, and in order to improve the accuracy of the round-robin between the first thermostat and the second thermostat, in this embodiment, it is determined whether the first thermostat and the second thermostat are required to perform round-robin according to two parameters that affect the degree of use of the first thermostat. Therefore, when it is determined that the relay module in the first thermostat needs to output a control signal, the second operating time of the first thermostat and the second on-off number of the control path in the relay for outputting the control signal are determined, so as to determine the target state value representing the degree of use of the first thermostat based on the second operating time and the second on-off number. When the target state value does not reach the preset state value, it represents that there is no need to switch the first thermostat, and at this time, the relay module in the first thermostat continues to be controlled to output the control signal; when the target state value reaches the preset state value, it represents that the first thermostat needs to be switched, and at this time, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the second thermostat receives the control request, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs the control signal to the device to be controlled, so as to control the device to be controlled.

[0100] It should be noted that the target state value can be set according to actual needs, and the specific value of the target device is not limited in this embodiment. The second working time is actually the working time of the first thermostat, and the method for determining the second on-off number is consistent with the method for determining the first on-off number mentioned above. For details, please refer to the method for determining the first on-off number mentioned above, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0101] Specifically, in the above step S502, determining the target state value corresponding to the first thermostat according to the second working time and the second on-off number includes:

[0102] Obtaining a second preset duration corresponding to the first thermostat and a second preset number of times corresponding to the control path for outputting the control signal, the second preset duration being used to characterize a lower limit value of a second working duration corresponding to switching the first thermostat to the second thermostat, and the second preset number of times being used to characterize a lower limit value of a second on-off number corresponding to switching the first thermostat to the second thermostat;

[0103] Determine a first target weight corresponding to the second working duration according to the second working duration and the second preset duration, and determine a second target weight corresponding to the second on-off number of times according to the second on-off number of times and the second preset number of times;

[0104] A target state value corresponding to the first thermostat is determined according to the second working duration, the first target weight, the second on-off number and the second target weight.

[0105] Among them, the second preset duration and the second preset number of times can be set according to actual needs, and the specific values ​​of the second preset duration and the second preset number of times are not specifically limited in this embodiment. After obtaining the second working duration corresponding to the first thermostat, the first proportion between the second working duration and the second preset duration can be determined, so as to determine the first target weight corresponding to the first proportion according to the correspondence between each preset proportion and the preset weight. Similarly, after obtaining the second on-off number corresponding to the first thermostat, the second proportion between the second on-off number and the second preset number can be determined, so as to determine the first target weight corresponding to the second proportion according to the correspondence between each preset proportion and the preset weight, and then determine the target state value corresponding to the first thermostat according to the second working duration, the first target weight, the second on-off number and the second target weight, so as to determine whether it is necessary to perform round-robin between the first thermostat and the second thermostat according to the target state value, thereby improving the accuracy of round-robin between the first thermostat and the second thermostat.

[0106] More specifically, the target state value corresponding to the first thermostat is determined according to the second working time, the first target weight, the second on-off times and the second target weight, including:

[0107] Determine a first state value corresponding to the first thermostat according to the second working time and the first target weight, and determine a second state value corresponding to the first thermostat according to the second on-off number and the second target weight;

[0108] An average value between the first state value and the second state value is determined to obtain a target state value corresponding to the first thermostat.

[0109] Among them, after determining the second working time and the first target weight, the product between the second working time and the first target weight can be determined, and the product can be used as the first state value that affects the usage of the first thermostat. After determining the second on-off times and the second target weight, the product between the second on-off times and the second target weight can be determined, and the product can be used as the second state value that affects the usage of the second thermostat. After obtaining the first state value and the second state value, the first state value and the second state value can be averaged to obtain the target state value corresponding to the first thermostat, so as to use the target state value to determine whether it is necessary to perform round-robin between the first thermostat and the second thermostat, thereby improving the accuracy of round-robin between the first thermostat and the second thermostat.

[0110] S504: Acquire detection information corresponding to the control signal detected by the signal detection module in the first thermostat.

[0111] S505: When the detection information is that the control signal is abnormal, a control request is sent to the communication module in the second thermostat through the communication module in the first thermostat, so that when the second thermostat receives the control request, the relay module in the second thermostat outputs a control signal to the device to be controlled to control the device to be controlled.

[0112] Regarding the above-mentioned step S504 and step S405, step S504 is consistent with the above-mentioned step S202, and step S505 is consistent with the above-mentioned step S203. For details, please refer to the above-mentioned step S202 and step S203, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
