[0025] The air conditioning device in the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below, including at least two indoor units and at least one control panel, and the control panel is connected to the at least two indoor units to realize the control function of the indoor units. There is no excessive limitation on the connection mode between the control panel and the indoor unit, for example, it may include wired connection, wireless connection, etc. There is no excessive limitation on the wired connection mode, for example, it may be a direct wired connection or an indirect wired connection.

[0026] Optionally, the control panel with the same space attribute is directly connected to the indoor unit by wire, so as to realize paired connection between the control panel with the same space attribute and the indoor unit, and the control panel with different space attributes is indirectly connected to the indoor unit by wire.

[0027] Optionally, the first control panel is directly connected to the first indoor unit by wire, and the first control panel is indirectly connected to the second indoor unit by wire.

[0028] Optionally, at least two indoor units are directly connected by wire, and the first control panel and the second indoor unit are indirectly connected by wire through a connection line between the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit; or,

[0029] The outdoor unit of the air-conditioning equipment is directly connected to at least two indoor units by wire, and the first control panel and the second indoor unit are indirectly connected by wire through connecting lines between the first indoor unit, the second indoor unit and the outdoor unit respectively.

[0030] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning equipment includes an outdoor unit, indoor units 1 to 3, and control panels 1 to 3. The spatial attributes of indoor unit 1 and control panel 1 are both space A, the spatial attributes of indoor unit 2 and control panel 2 are both space B, and the spatial attributes of indoor unit 3 and control panel 3 are both space C. It should be noted that the spatial attribute of an object may be different from the physical space where the object is actually located, and can be customized by the user. For example, if the physical space where the object is actually located is a bedroom, the spatial attribute of the object can be a bedroom or a living room.

[0031] The control panel 1 is connected to the indoor units 1 to 3 by wire, the control panel 2 is connected to the indoor units 1 to 3 by wire, the control panel 3 is connected to the indoor units 1 to 3 by wire, and the outdoor unit is connected to the indoor units 1 to 3 by wire.

[0032] Taking the control panel 1 as an example, the control panel 1 is directly connected to the indoor unit 1 by wire, that is, the control panel 1 is paired with the indoor unit 1, the control panel 1 is indirectly connected to the indoor unit 2 by wires between the indoor unit 1 and the indoor unit 2, and the control panel 1 is indirectly connected to the indoor unit 3 by wires between the indoor unit 1 and the indoor unit 3.

[0033] Taking the control panel 2 as an example, the control panel 2 is directly connected to the indoor unit 2 by wire, that is, the control panel 2 is paired with the indoor unit 2, the control panel 2 is indirectly connected to the indoor unit 1 by the connecting line between the indoor unit 1 and the indoor unit 2, and the control panel 2 is indirectly connected to the indoor unit 3 by the connecting line between the indoor unit 2 and the indoor unit 3.

[0034] Taking the control panel 3 as an example, the control panel 3 is directly connected to the indoor unit 3 by wire, that is, the control panel 3 and the indoor unit 3 are paired and connected, the control panel 3 and the indoor unit 1 are indirectly connected by wire through the connecting line between the indoor unit 1 and the indoor unit 3, and the control panel 3 and the indoor unit 2 are indirectly connected by wire through the connecting line between the indoor unit 2 and the indoor unit 3.

[0035] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioning device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0036] S201, obtaining a first switching instruction for switching an indoor unit, wherein the first switching instruction is triggered based on a first operation on a first control panel.

[0037] S202: Based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit.

[0038] It should be noted that the execution subject of the control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure is an electronic device, such as an air-conditioning equipment (such as an indoor unit, a control screen), a terminal device, a server, a chip, etc. Among them, the terminal device includes a mobile phone, a notebook, a vehicle terminal, a smart home appliance, etc. The control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be executed by the control device of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the control device of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be configured in any electronic device to execute the control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first indoor unit and the second indoor unit are different indoor units of the air-conditioning equipment.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first control panel is directly connected to the first indoor unit by wire, and the first control panel is indirectly connected to the second indoor unit by wire. Thus, the controlled device of the first control panel can be switched from the indoor unit directly connected by wire to the indoor unit indirectly connected by wire. For the relevant contents of the indirect wire connection between the first control panel and the second indoor unit, please refer to the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0041] For example, continue with Figure 1 For example, a first switching instruction for indoor unit switching can be obtained, the first switching instruction is triggered based on a first operation X of the control panel 1, and based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first control panel is directly connected to the second indoor unit by wire, and the first control panel is indirectly connected to the first indoor unit by wire. Thus, the controlled device of the first control panel can be switched from the indoor unit with indirect wire connection to the indoor unit with direct wire connection.

[0043] For example, continue with Figure 1 For example, a first switching instruction for switching the indoor unit can be obtained. The first switching instruction is triggered based on the first operation Y of the control panel 1. Based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 1.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first operation is not excessively limited, and may include, for example, a pressing operation, a rotating operation, a touch operation, and the like.

[0045] In one embodiment, obtaining a first switching instruction for switching the indoor unit includes displaying an indoor unit list on a first control screen, obtaining a selection operation of the indoor unit included in the indoor unit list, and generating the first switching instruction.

[0046] Based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, including determining the selected indoor unit based on the first switching instruction, and switching the controlled device of the first control screen from the first indoor unit to the selected indoor unit when the selected indoor unit is inconsistent with the first indoor unit. Thus, the indoor unit list can be displayed on the first control screen, and when the selected indoor unit is inconsistent with the first indoor unit, the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the first indoor unit to the selected indoor unit.

[0047] For instance, continuing with the above-mentioned air-conditioning equipment as an example, an indoor unit list can be displayed on the control panel 1, the indoor unit list including indoor units 1 to 3, the selection operation of indoor unit 2 included in the indoor unit list is obtained, and a first switching instruction is generated. At this time, the selected indoor unit is indoor unit 2. If the controlled device of the control panel 1 is indoor unit 1, the indoor unit selected at this time is inconsistent with the first indoor unit, and the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, switching the controlled device of the first control panel from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit includes at least one of the following operations:

[0049] Operation 1: Control the display page of the first control screen to switch from the control page of the first indoor unit to the control page of the second indoor unit.

[0050] In some examples, before switching the display page of the first control screen to the control page of the second indoor unit, the process further includes loading the control page of the second indoor unit.

[0051] In some examples, after the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, the method further includes obtaining at least one of the environmental information of the target space attribute corresponding to the second indoor unit, the operating information of the second indoor unit, and the device information of the second indoor unit as the target information to be displayed on the first control screen, and displaying the target information on the first control screen. Thus, after the controlled device of the first control screen is switched, at least one of the environmental information, operating information, and device information associated with the second indoor unit can be displayed on the first control screen.

[0052] For example, continuing to take the above air conditioning system as an example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, including switching the display page of the control panel 1 from the control page of indoor unit 1 to the control page of indoor unit 2.

[0053] After switching the display page of the control panel 1 from the control page of the indoor unit 1 to the control page of the indoor unit 2, the environmental information of the space B, the operation information of the indoor unit 2, and at least one of the equipment information of the indoor unit 2 can be displayed on the control panel 1.

[0054] Operation 2: Control the first control panel to disable or hide the control function of the first indoor unit, and activate the control function of the second indoor unit.

[0055] For example, continuing to take the above-mentioned air conditioning system as an example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, including controlling the control panel 1 to disable or hide the control function of indoor unit 1 and activate the control function of indoor unit 2.

[0056] It is understandable that the control panel has the control function of the indoor unit, and there are no excessive restrictions on the control function of the indoor unit, such as the switch function, temperature adjustment function, wind speed adjustment function, etc. of the indoor unit.

[0057] In some examples, controlling the first control panel to activate the control function of the second indoor unit includes controlling the first control panel to activate the first type of control function of the second indoor unit when the first control panel is directly connected to the second indoor unit by wire, and controlling the first control panel to activate the second type of control function of the second indoor unit when the first control panel is indirectly connected to the second indoor unit by wire. Thus, the function of the first control panel can be switched considering the connection mode between the first control panel and the second indoor unit, thereby improving the flexibility of the function switching.

[0058] In some examples, the first category of control functions includes N control functions, and the second category of control functions includes M control functions, where N and M are integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0059] The N control functions include at least the M control functions; or,

[0060] N is greater than M, and the N control functions partially overlap with the M control functions.

[0061] Therefore, when the first control panel is directly connected to the second indoor unit by wire, the first control panel activates more control functions of the second indoor unit, and when the first control panel is indirectly connected to the second indoor unit by wire, the first control panel activates fewer control functions of the second indoor unit.

[0062] It should be noted that there are no excessive restrictions on the first and second control functions. For example, compared with the first control function, the second control function lacks the setting function, centralized control function, scene function, and button control function.

[0063] The control method of the air-conditioning device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains a first switching instruction for switching the indoor unit, wherein the first switching instruction is triggered based on a first operation of the first control screen, and based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit. Thus, only the indoor unit needs to be switched on the control screen, and multiple indoor units can be controlled by one control screen, which simplifies the user operation and optimizes the user experience.

[0064] Based on any of the above embodiments, after the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, the method also includes controlling the first control panel to activate the centralized control function of at least two indoor units when the first control panel is directly connected to the second indoor unit by wire, so as to ensure that the centralized control function can be used normally.

[0065] In the case where the first control panel is indirectly connected to the second indoor unit by wire, the first control panel is controlled to disable or hide the centralized control function of at least two indoor units, that is, the centralized control function cannot be used.

[0066] For example, continuing to take the above air conditioning system as an example, after the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, the control panel 1 can be controlled to disable or hide the centralized control function of indoor units 1 to 3.

[0067] After the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 1, the control panel 1 can be controlled to activate the centralized control function of the indoor units 1 to 3.

[0068] Based on any of the above embodiments, before switching the controlled device of the first control panel from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit, the method further includes determining that the second indoor unit is not in an upgrade state. Therefore, after determining that the second indoor unit is not in an upgrade state, switching the controlled device of the first control panel to the second indoor unit can avoid the situation where the second indoor unit may not be able to operate normally in the upgrade state, and the controlled device of the first control panel is still switched to the second indoor unit, thereby optimizing the user experience.

[0069] It should be noted that there are not too many restrictions on the upgrade method of the indoor unit, such as OTA (Over-The-Air) upgrade.

[0070] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioning device according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0071] S301, obtaining a first switching instruction for switching an indoor unit, wherein the first switching instruction is triggered based on a first operation on a first control panel.

[0072] S302: Based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit.

[0073] For the relevant contents of steps S301 - S302 , please refer to the above embodiments and will not be described again here.

[0074] S303, obtaining a first control instruction for controlling the third indoor unit, wherein the first control instruction is triggered based on a second operation of the second control panel, and the controlled device of the second control panel is the third indoor unit.

[0075] S304: When there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of at least one of the second indoor unit and the fourth indoor unit, display a first message on the second control screen.

[0076] In this embodiment, the second indoor unit, the third indoor unit, and the fourth indoor unit are different indoor units of the air-conditioning equipment, and the first message is used to confirm whether to execute the first control instruction. The second control screen and the first control screen are different control screens of the air-conditioning equipment. There are no excessive restrictions on the first control instruction, for example, it may include an operation mode switching instruction, a switch instruction, a temperature adjustment instruction, a wind speed adjustment instruction, etc. of the third indoor unit.

[0077] In some examples, the fourth indoor unit is identical to the first indoor unit, or the third indoor unit is identical to the first indoor unit.

[0078] In some examples, the method further includes determining, based on the first control instruction, that the operating mode to be switched by the third indoor unit is the target mode, obtaining the respective operating modes of the second indoor unit and the fourth indoor unit, and when there is a conflict between the target mode and the operating mode of the second indoor unit, determining that there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of the second indoor unit, and when there is a conflict between the target mode and the operating mode of the fourth indoor unit, determining that there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of the fourth indoor unit. Thus, when the first control instruction is an operating mode switching instruction for the third indoor unit, if the operating mode to be switched by the third indoor unit conflicts with the operating modes of the remaining indoor units, it can be determined that there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of the remaining indoor units.

[0079] For example, refrigeration, dehumidification, air supply, and ion purification all conflict with heating, but refrigeration, dehumidification, air supply, and ion purification do not conflict with each other.

[0080] In one embodiment, after the first message is displayed on the second control screen, the method further includes obtaining a first confirmation instruction for the first control instruction, executing the first control instruction in response to the first confirmation instruction, wherein the first confirmation instruction is triggered based on the third operation of the second control screen, obtaining a first rejection instruction for the first control instruction, and refusing to execute the first control instruction in response to the first rejection instruction, wherein the first rejection instruction is triggered based on the fourth operation of the second control screen. Thus, the first control instruction can be executed in response to the first confirmation instruction, and the first control instruction can be refused to be executed in response to the first rejection instruction.

[0081] It should be noted that the relevant contents of the first confirmation instruction, the first rejection instruction, the third operation, and the fourth operation can be found in the following embodiments.

[0082] In some examples, after obtaining the first determination instruction for the first control instruction, the method further includes determining the indoor unit that conflicts with the first control instruction from the second indoor unit and the fourth indoor unit as the target indoor unit, and shutting down the target indoor unit. Thus, after obtaining the first determination instruction, the indoor unit that conflicts with the first control instruction can be shut down, which can avoid the conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of the target indoor unit, resulting in the air conditioning equipment being unable to operate normally or even damaging the air conditioning equipment, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the air conditioning equipment.

[0083] In some examples, when the target indoor unit does not include the second indoor unit but includes the first indoor unit, the first control panel is directly connected to the first indoor unit by wire, and the first control panel is indirectly connected to the second indoor unit by wire.

[0084] After shutting down the target indoor unit, the method also includes obtaining a second switching instruction for switching the indoor unit, wherein the second switching instruction is triggered based on the fifth operation of the first control screen, and based on the second switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, and a second message is displayed on the first control screen, wherein the second message is used to indicate the reason information for shutting down the target indoor unit.

[0085] It is understandable that, when the target indoor unit includes the first indoor unit, the second message is also used to indicate the reason information for shutting down the first indoor unit. Therefore, when the first indoor unit is shut down due to the first control instruction, if the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the second message will be displayed on the first control screen to indicate the reason information for shutting down the first indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the first indoor unit stops operating and the reason why the first indoor unit stops operating.

[0086] In some examples, after the target indoor unit is turned off, the method further includes determining that the controlled device is a third control screen of the target indoor unit, and displaying a second message on the third control screen. Thus, when the target indoor unit is turned off due to the first control instruction, the second message will be displayed on the third control screen to indicate the reason for turning off the target indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the target indoor unit stops operating and the reason for the target indoor unit stopping operating.

[0087] In some examples, after shutting down the target indoor unit, the method further includes obtaining a third switching instruction for switching the indoor unit when the target indoor unit does not include the fourth indoor unit, wherein the third switching instruction is triggered based on the fifth operation of the fourth control screen, and based on the second switching instruction, the controlled device of the fourth control screen is switched from the fourth indoor unit to the target indoor unit, and a second message is displayed on the fourth control screen. Thus, when the first control instruction causes the target indoor unit to be shut down, and the target indoor unit does not include the fourth indoor unit, if the controlled device of the fourth control screen is switched from the fourth indoor unit to the target indoor unit, a second message will be displayed on the fourth control screen to indicate the reason for shutting down the target indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the target indoor unit has stopped operating and the reason for the target indoor unit stopping operating.

[0088] In some examples, after shutting down the target indoor unit, the method further includes obtaining a fourth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit, wherein the fourth switching instruction is triggered based on the fifth operation of the second control screen, and based on the fourth switching instruction, the controlled device of the second control screen is switched from the third indoor unit to the target indoor unit, and a second message is displayed on the second control screen. Thus, in the case where the target indoor unit is shut down due to the first control instruction, if the controlled device of the second control screen is switched from the third indoor unit to the target indoor unit, a second message will be displayed on the second control screen to indicate the reason for shutting down the target indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the target indoor unit has stopped operating and the reason for the target indoor unit stopping operating.

[0089] In some examples, after the second message is displayed on any control screen, if a set operation is detected, such as a touch operation of the "I know" component, the second message will stop being displayed on any control screen, and will not be displayed on other control screens subsequently.

[0090] As another possible implementation, when there is no conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of the second indoor unit and the fourth indoor unit, the first control instruction is executed.

[0091] The following continues to take the above-mentioned air conditioning equipment as an example to describe the display content of the first message and the second message.

[0092] For example, continuing to take the above air conditioning equipment as an example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, the controlled device of the control panel 2 is indoor unit 3, and the controlled device of the control panel 3 is indoor unit 1. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the control panel 1 is the first control panel, the control panel 2 is the second control panel, the indoor unit 1 is used as the first indoor unit and the fourth indoor unit at the same time, the indoor unit 2 is the second indoor unit, and the indoor unit 3 is the third indoor unit.

[0093] A first control instruction for controlling the indoor unit 3 may be obtained, wherein the first control instruction for the indoor unit 3 is triggered based on the second operation of the control panel 2. Based on the first control instruction, it is determined that the operation mode to be switched to by the indoor unit 3 is heating.

[0094] Get the operation mode of indoor units 1 and 2.

[0095] If the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is cooling, it can be determined that there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 .

[0096] If the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is dehumidification, it can be determined that there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 .

[0097] If the operation mode of the indoor units 1 and 2 is heating, it can be determined that there is no conflict between the first control instruction and the operation mode of the indoor units 1 and 2.

[0098] When the first control instruction conflicts with the operation of at least one device in the indoor units 1 and 2, a first message is displayed on the control screen 2, such as "The mode set for this air conditioner conflicts with the modes set for other rooms. Please confirm whether to set this air conditioner to heating."

[0099] Based on the touch operation of the "Confirm" component on the control screen 2, a first confirmation instruction for the above-mentioned first control instruction is generated. In response to the above-mentioned first confirmation instruction, the above-mentioned first control instruction is executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 3 is switched to heating.

[0100] Based on the touch operation of the "Cancel" component on the control screen 2, a first rejection instruction is generated for the above-mentioned first control instruction. In response to the above-mentioned first rejection instruction, the above-mentioned first control instruction is rejected to be executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 3 is rejected to be switched to heating.

[0101] After obtaining the first determination instruction, the indoor unit that conflicts with the first control instruction may be determined from the indoor units 1 and 2 as the target indoor unit, and the target indoor unit is turned off.

[0102] When there is no conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of the indoor units 1 and 2, the first control instruction is executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 3 is switched to heating.

[0103] Several cases regarding display of the second message are described below.

[0104] In the first case, if the target indoor unit only includes indoor unit 1, indoor unit 1 can be turned off, and a second message such as "the mode set in other rooms conflicts with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on the control panel 3. It should be noted that the control panel 3 in this embodiment is the third control panel.

[0105] In the second case, if the target indoor units only include indoor unit 1, that is, the target indoor units do not include indoor unit 2, a second switching instruction for switching the indoor units is obtained, wherein the second switching instruction is triggered based on the fifth operation of the control panel 1, and based on the second switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 2 to indoor unit 1, and the control panel 1 displays "The modes set in the other rooms conflict with this air conditioner and the operation is interrupted."

[0106] In the third case, if the target indoor unit only includes indoor unit 2, indoor unit 2 can be turned off, and "the mode set in other rooms conflicts with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on control panel 1. It should be noted that control panel 1 in this embodiment is the third control panel.

[0107] In the fourth case, if the target indoor unit only includes indoor unit 2, that is, the target indoor unit does not include indoor unit 1, a third switching instruction for switching the indoor units is obtained, wherein the third switching instruction is triggered based on the fifth operation of the control panel 3, and based on the third switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 3 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, and "the mode set in the other rooms conflicts with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on the control panel 3. It should be noted that the control panel 3 in this embodiment is the fourth control panel.

[0108] In the fifth case, if the target indoor units include indoor units 1 and 2, indoor units 1 and 2 can be turned off, and "The mode set in other rooms conflicts with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on control panels 1 and 3. It should be noted that control panels 1 and 3 are third control panels in this embodiment.

[0109] In the sixth case, the fourth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit is obtained, wherein the fourth switching instruction is triggered based on the fifth operation of the control panel 2. Based on the fourth switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 2 is switched from the indoor unit 3 to the target indoor unit, and the control panel 2 displays "The modes set in the other rooms conflict with this air conditioner and the operation is interrupted."

[0110] For example, if the target indoor units include indoor units 1 and 2, if the controlled device of control panel 2 is switched from indoor unit 3 to indoor unit 1 or indoor unit 2, control panel 2 will display "The modes set in other rooms conflict with this air conditioner and the operation is interrupted."

[0111] The control method of the air-conditioning device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the first control instruction for controlling the third indoor unit, wherein the first control instruction is triggered based on the second operation of the second control screen, and the controlled device of the second control screen is the third indoor unit. When there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of at least one device of the second indoor unit and the fourth indoor unit, a first message is displayed on the second control screen. Thus, when there is a conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of at least one device of the second indoor unit and the fourth indoor unit, a first message is displayed on the second control screen for the user to confirm whether to execute the first control instruction, which can avoid the situation where the air-conditioning device cannot operate normally or even damages the air-conditioning device due to misoperation by the user, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the air-conditioning device and optimizing the user experience.

[0112] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioning device according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0113] S401, obtaining a first switching instruction for switching an indoor unit, wherein the first switching instruction is triggered based on a first operation on a first control panel.

[0114] S402: Based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit.

[0115] For the relevant contents of steps S401 - S402 , please refer to the above embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0116] S403: Acquire a second control instruction for controlling the second indoor unit, wherein the second control instruction is triggered based on a second operation on the first control screen.

[0117] S404, when there is a conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the fifth indoor unit, a third message is displayed on the first control screen, wherein the second indoor unit and the fifth indoor unit are different indoor units of the air-conditioning equipment, and the third message is used to confirm whether to execute the second control instruction.

[0118] It should be noted that the relevant content of the second control instruction can refer to the relevant content of the first control instruction, which will not be repeated here.

[0119] In some examples, the method further includes determining, based on the second control instruction, that the operation mode to be switched to the second indoor unit is the target mode, obtaining the operation mode of the fifth indoor unit, and when there is a conflict between the target mode and the operation mode of the fifth indoor unit, determining that there is a conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the fifth indoor unit. The content of the conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the fifth indoor unit can refer to the content of the conflict between the first control instruction and the operation of the second indoor unit, which will not be repeated here.

[0120] In some examples, the fifth indoor unit is identical to the first indoor unit.

[0121] In some examples, after the third message is displayed on the first control screen, the method further includes obtaining a second confirmation instruction for the second control instruction, executing the second control instruction in response to the second confirmation instruction, wherein the second confirmation instruction is triggered based on the third operation of the first control screen, obtaining a second rejection instruction for the second control instruction, and refusing to execute the second control instruction in response to the second rejection instruction, wherein the second rejection instruction is triggered based on the fourth operation of the first control screen. Thus, the second control instruction can be executed in response to the second confirmation instruction, and the second control instruction can be refused to be executed in response to the second rejection instruction.

[0122] It should be noted that the relevant contents of the second confirmation instruction and the second rejection instruction can be found in the following embodiments.

[0123] In some examples, after obtaining the second determination instruction for the second control instruction, the fifth indoor unit is further turned off. Therefore, after obtaining the second determination instruction, the indoor unit that conflicts with the second control instruction can be turned off, which can avoid the conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the fifth indoor unit, resulting in the air conditioning device being unable to operate normally or even being damaged, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the air conditioning device.

[0124] In some examples, when the fifth indoor unit includes the first indoor unit, the first control panel is directly connected to the first indoor unit by wire, and the first control panel is indirectly connected to the second indoor unit by wire.

[0125] After shutting down the fifth indoor unit, the method also includes obtaining a fifth switching instruction for switching the indoor units, wherein the fifth switching instruction is triggered based on the sixth operation of the first control panel, and based on the fifth switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, and a fourth message is displayed on the first control panel, wherein the fourth message is used to indicate the reason for shutting down the fifth indoor unit.

[0126] It is understandable that, when the fifth indoor unit includes the first indoor unit, the fourth message is also used to indicate the reason information for shutting down the first indoor unit. Therefore, when the first indoor unit is shut down due to the second control instruction, if the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the second indoor unit to the first indoor unit, the fourth message will be displayed on the first control screen to indicate the reason information for shutting down the first indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the first indoor unit stops operating and the reason why the first indoor unit stops operating.

[0127] In some examples, after shutting down the fifth indoor unit, the method further includes determining that the controlled device is the fifth control screen of the fifth indoor unit, and displaying a fourth message on the fifth control screen. Thus, when the fifth indoor unit is shut down due to the second control instruction, the fourth message will be displayed on the fifth control screen to indicate the reason for shutting down the fifth indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the fifth indoor unit stops operating and the reason for the fifth indoor unit stopping operating.

[0128] In some examples, after shutting down the fifth indoor unit, the method further includes obtaining a sixth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit, wherein the sixth switching instruction is triggered based on the sixth operation of the sixth control screen, and based on the sixth switching instruction, the controlled device of the sixth control screen is switched from the sixth indoor unit to the fifth indoor unit, and a fourth message is displayed on the sixth control screen. Thus, in the case where the target indoor unit is shut down due to the second control instruction, if the controlled device of the sixth control screen is switched from the sixth indoor unit to the fifth indoor unit, a fourth message will be displayed on the sixth control screen to indicate the reason for shutting down the fifth indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the fifth indoor unit has stopped operating and the reason for the fifth indoor unit stopping operating.

[0129] In some examples, after the fourth message is displayed on any control screen, if a set operation is detected, such as a touch operation of the "I know" component, the fourth message will stop being displayed on any control screen, and the fourth message will not be displayed on other control screens subsequently.

[0130] As another possible implementation, the method further includes executing the second control instruction when there is no conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the fifth indoor unit.

[0131] The following continues to take the above-mentioned air conditioning equipment as an example to describe the display content of the third message and the fourth message.

[0132] For example, continuing to take the above air conditioning equipment as an example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, the controlled device of the control panel 2 is indoor unit 1, and the controlled device of the control panel 3 is indoor unit 3. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the control panel 1 is the first control panel, the indoor unit 1 is the first indoor unit, and the indoor unit 2 is the second indoor unit.

[0133] A second control instruction for controlling the indoor unit 2 may be obtained, wherein the second control instruction for the indoor unit 2 is triggered based on a second operation of the control panel 1. Based on the second control instruction, it is determined that the operation mode to be switched to by the indoor unit 2 is heating.

[0134] Get the operation mode of indoor units 1 and 3.

[0135] If the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is cooling, it can be determined that there is a conflict between the second control instruction and the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 .

[0136] If the operation mode of the indoor unit 3 is dehumidification, it can be determined that there is a conflict between the second control instruction and the operation mode of the indoor unit 3 .

[0137] If the operation mode of the indoor units 1 and 3 is heating, it can be determined that there is no conflict between the second control instruction and the operation mode of the indoor units 1 and 3.

[0138] When the second control instruction conflicts with the operation of the indoor unit 1, a third message is displayed on the control panel 1, such as "The mode set for this air conditioner conflicts with the modes set for other rooms. Please confirm whether to set this air conditioner to heating."

[0139] Based on the touch operation of the "Confirm" component on the control screen 1, a second confirmation instruction is generated for the above-mentioned second control instruction. In response to the above-mentioned second confirmation instruction, the above-mentioned second control instruction is executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is switched to heating.

[0140] Based on the touch operation of the "Cancel" component on the control screen 1, a second rejection instruction is generated for the above-mentioned second control instruction. In response to the above-mentioned second rejection instruction, the above-mentioned second control instruction is rejected to be executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is rejected to be switched to heating.

[0141] After obtaining the second determination instruction, the indoor unit 1 may be turned off.

[0142] When there is no conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the indoor units 1 and 3, the second control instruction is executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is switched to heating.

[0143] Taking indoor unit 1 as the fifth indoor unit as an example, several situations regarding the display of the fourth message are described below.

[0144] In the first case, the fourth message, such as "The modes set in other rooms conflict with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted", is displayed on the control panel 2. It should be noted that the control panel 2 in this embodiment is the fifth control panel.

[0145] In the second case, the fifth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit is obtained, wherein the fifth switching instruction is triggered based on the sixth operation of the control panel 1. Based on the fifth switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 1, and the control panel 1 displays "The modes set in the other rooms conflict with this air conditioner and the operation is interrupted."

[0146] In the third case, a sixth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit is obtained, wherein the sixth switching instruction is triggered based on the sixth operation of the control panel 3. Based on the sixth switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 3 is switched from the indoor unit 3 to the indoor unit 1, and "the mode set in the other rooms conflicts with this air conditioner, and the operation is interrupted" is displayed on the control panel 3. It should be noted that the control panel 3 in this embodiment is the sixth control panel.

[0147] The control method of the air-conditioning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the second control instruction for controlling the second indoor unit, wherein the second control instruction is triggered based on the second operation of the first control screen, and in the case where there is a conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the fifth indoor unit, a third message is displayed on the first control screen, wherein the second indoor unit and the fifth indoor unit are different indoor units of the air-conditioning equipment, and the third message is used to confirm whether to execute the second control instruction. Therefore, in the case where there is a conflict between the second control instruction and the operation of the fifth indoor unit, the third message is displayed on the first control screen for the user to confirm whether to execute the second control instruction, which can avoid the situation where the air-conditioning equipment cannot operate normally or even damages the air-conditioning equipment due to misoperation by the user, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the air-conditioning equipment and optimizing the user experience.

[0148] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a control method of an air conditioning device according to another exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the control method of the air-conditioning equipment of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0149] S501, obtaining a first switching instruction for switching an indoor unit, wherein the first switching instruction is triggered based on a first operation on a first control panel.

[0150] S502: Based on the first switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control panel is switched from the first indoor unit to the second indoor unit.

[0151] S503, when the first control panel is directly connected to the second indoor unit by wire, controlling the first control panel to activate the centralized control function of at least two indoor units.

[0152] For the relevant contents of steps S501-S503, please refer to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0153] S504: Acquire a third control instruction for controlling at least two indoor units, wherein the third control instruction is triggered based on a seventh operation on the first control panel.

[0154] S505: Based on the third control instruction, determine that the operation modes to be switched to by at least two indoor units are both target modes.

[0155] S506: Determine that there is a seventh indoor unit whose operation mode is inconsistent with the target mode among the at least two indoor units, wherein the second indoor unit and the seventh indoor unit are different indoor units of the air-conditioning equipment.

[0156] S507, displaying a fifth message on the first control screen, wherein the fifth message is used to confirm whether to execute the third control instruction.

[0157] It should be noted that the third control instruction is a centralized control instruction, for example, switching the operation modes of at least two indoor units to cooling.

[0158] In some examples, the seventh indoor unit is identical to the first indoor unit.

[0159] In some examples, after the fifth message is displayed on the first control screen, the method further includes obtaining a third confirmation instruction for the third control instruction, executing the third control instruction in response to the third confirmation instruction, wherein the third confirmation instruction is triggered based on the eighth operation of the first control screen, obtaining a third rejection instruction for the third control instruction, and refusing to execute the third control instruction in response to the third rejection instruction, wherein the third rejection instruction is triggered based on the ninth operation of the first control screen. Thus, the third control instruction can be executed in response to the third confirmation instruction, and the third control instruction can be refused to be executed in response to the third rejection instruction.

[0160] It should be noted that the relevant contents of the third confirmation instruction, the third rejection instruction, the eighth operation and the ninth operation can be found in the following embodiments.

[0161] In some examples, after executing the third control instruction, the method further includes determining that the controlled device is the seventh control screen of the seventh indoor unit, and displaying a sixth message on the seventh control screen, wherein the sixth message is used to indicate the reason information for switching the operation mode of the seventh indoor unit. Thus, when the seventh indoor unit switches the operation mode due to the third control instruction, the sixth message will be displayed on the seventh control screen to indicate the reason information for switching the operation mode of the seventh indoor unit, so as to promptly inform the user that the seventh indoor unit switches the operation mode and the reason for switching the operation mode of the seventh indoor unit.

[0162] In some examples, after executing the third control instruction, it includes obtaining a seventh switching instruction for switching the indoor unit, wherein the seventh switching instruction is triggered based on the tenth operation of the eighth control screen, and based on the seventh switching instruction, the controlled device of the eighth control screen is switched from the eighth indoor unit to the seventh indoor unit, and a sixth message is displayed on the eighth control screen. Thus, when the seventh indoor unit switches its operation mode due to the third control instruction, if the controlled device of the eighth control screen switches from the eighth indoor unit to the seventh indoor unit, a sixth message will be displayed on the eighth control screen to indicate the reason for the seventh indoor unit to switch its operation mode, so as to promptly inform the user that the seventh indoor unit switches its operation mode and the reason for the seventh indoor unit to switch its operation mode.

[0163] In some examples, after executing the third control instruction, it includes obtaining an eighth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit, wherein the eighth switching instruction is triggered based on the tenth operation of the first control screen, and based on the eighth switching instruction, the controlled device of the first control screen is switched from the second indoor unit to the seventh indoor unit, and a sixth message is displayed on the first control screen. Thus, when the seventh indoor unit switches its operation mode due to the third control instruction, if the controlled device of the first control screen switches from the second indoor unit to the seventh indoor unit, a sixth message will be displayed on the first control screen to indicate the reason for the seventh indoor unit to switch its operation mode, so as to promptly inform the user that the seventh indoor unit switches its operation mode and the reason for the seventh indoor unit to switch its operation mode.

[0164] In some examples, after the sixth message is displayed on any control screen, if a set operation is detected, such as a touch operation of the "I know" component, the sixth message will stop being displayed on any control screen, and will not be displayed on other control screens subsequently.

[0165] Next, the display contents of the fifth message and the sixth message will be described by continuing to take the above-mentioned air conditioning equipment as an example.

[0166] For example, continuing to take the above air conditioning equipment as an example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 1, the controlled device of the control panel 2 is the indoor unit 2, and the controlled device of the control panel 3 is the indoor unit 3. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the control panel 1 is the first control panel, the indoor unit 1 is the second indoor unit, and the indoor unit 2 is the first indoor unit.

[0167] At this time, the control panel 1 is directly connected to the indoor unit 1 by wire, and the control panel 1 is controlled to activate the centralized control function of the indoor units 1 to 3. A third control instruction for controlling the indoor units 1 to 3 is obtained, wherein the third control instruction is triggered based on the seventh operation of the control panel 1, and based on the third control instruction, it is determined that the operation modes to be switched to by the indoor units 1 to 3 are all cooling.

[0168] If the operation mode of the indoor units 1 and 3 is cooling, and the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is heating, a fifth message is displayed on the control panel 1, such as "Please confirm whether to turn on the cooling mode uniformly".

[0169] Based on the touch operation of the "Confirm" component on the control screen 1, a third confirmation instruction for the third control instruction is generated, and in response to the third confirmation instruction, the third control instruction is executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is switched to cooling.

[0170] Based on the touch operation of the "Cancel" component on the control screen 1, a third rejection instruction is generated for the above-mentioned third control instruction. In response to the above-mentioned third rejection instruction, the above-mentioned third control instruction is rejected to be executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 2 is rejected to be switched to cooling.

[0171] Taking indoor unit 2 as the seventh indoor unit as an example, after executing the third control instruction, several situations regarding the display of the sixth message are described below.

[0172] In the first case, the sixth message, such as "central control uniformly turns on the cooling mode", is displayed on the control panel 2. It should be noted that the control panel 2 in this embodiment is the seventh control panel.

[0173] In the second case, the seventh switching instruction for switching the indoor unit is obtained, wherein the seventh switching instruction is triggered based on the tenth operation of the control panel 3. Based on the seventh switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 3 is switched from the indoor unit 3 to the indoor unit 2, and "centralized control uniformly turns on the cooling mode" is displayed on the control panel 3. It should be noted that the control panel 3 in this embodiment is the eighth control panel.

[0174] In the third case, the eighth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit is obtained, wherein the eighth switching instruction is triggered based on the tenth operation of the control panel 1. Based on the eighth switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 1 to the indoor unit 2, and "centralized control uniformly turns on the cooling mode" is displayed on the control panel 1.

[0175] The control method of the air-conditioning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure controls the first control panel to activate the centralized control function of at least two indoor units when the first control panel and the second indoor unit are located in the same space, and obtains a third control instruction for controlling the at least two indoor units, wherein the third control instruction is triggered based on the seventh operation of the first control panel, and based on the third control instruction, determines that the operating modes to be switched by the at least two indoor units are both target modes, and determines that there is a seventh indoor unit whose operating mode is inconsistent with the target mode among the at least two indoor units, wherein the second indoor unit and the seventh indoor unit are different indoor units of the air-conditioning equipment, and displays a fifth message on the first control panel, wherein the fifth message is used to confirm whether to execute the third control instruction, so that the user can confirm whether to execute the third control instruction, thereby avoiding the situation where the operating mode of the seventh indoor unit is switched due to user error operation, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the air-conditioning equipment and optimizing the user experience.

[0176] As another possible implementation, an exemplary embodiment is provided:

[0177] For example, continuing to take the above air conditioning equipment as an example, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from indoor unit 1 to indoor unit 2, the controlled device of the control panel 2 is the indoor unit 2, and the controlled device of the control panel 3 is the indoor unit 1. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the control panel 1 is the first control panel, the indoor unit 1 is the first indoor unit, and the indoor unit 2 is the second indoor unit.

[0178] At this time, the control panel 2 is directly connected to the indoor unit 2 by wire, and the control panel 2 is controlled to activate the centralized control function of the indoor units 1 to 3. A fourth control instruction for controlling the indoor units 1 to 3 is obtained, wherein the fourth control instruction is triggered based on the operation of the control panel 2, and based on the fourth control instruction, it is determined that the operation modes to be switched to by the indoor units 1 to 3 are all cooling.

[0179] If the operation mode of the indoor units 2 and 3 is cooling and the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is heating, the seventh message is displayed on the control panel 2, such as "Please confirm whether to turn on the cooling mode uniformly".

[0180] Based on the touch operation of the "Confirm" component on the control screen 2, a fourth confirmation instruction for the fourth control instruction is generated, and in response to the fourth confirmation instruction, the fourth control instruction is executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is switched to cooling.

[0181] Based on the touch operation of the "Cancel" component on the control screen 2, a fourth rejection instruction is generated for the above-mentioned fourth control instruction. In response to the above-mentioned fourth rejection instruction, the above-mentioned fourth control instruction is rejected to be executed, that is, the operation mode of the indoor unit 1 is rejected to be switched to cooling.

[0182] After executing the fourth control instruction, several situations regarding the display of the eighth message are described below.

[0183] In the first case, the eighth message is displayed on the control screen 3, such as "central control uniformly turns on the cooling mode".

[0184] In the second case, the ninth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit is obtained, wherein the ninth switching instruction is triggered based on the operation of the control panel 1. Based on the ninth switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 1 is switched from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 1, and "centralized control uniformly turns on the cooling mode" is displayed on the control panel 1.

[0185] In the third case, the tenth switching instruction for switching the indoor unit is obtained, wherein the tenth switching instruction is triggered based on the operation of the control panel 2. Based on the tenth switching instruction, the controlled device of the control panel 2 is switched from the indoor unit 2 to the indoor unit 1, and "centralized control uniformly turns on the cooling mode" is displayed on the control panel 2.
