[0064] Based on the hardware architecture of the above control device or mobile device, the following embodiments of the present invention are proposed.

[0065] First embodiment

[0074] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first control device communicates with the air conditioner and receives air conditioner operating parameters sent by the air conditioner.

[0075] Optionally, in some embodiments, in response to a second control instruction, air conditioner operating parameters and at least one air valve control parameter are obtained, wherein the second control instruction may be generated by a user or automatically generated at a fixed time, for example, an air valve control instruction is generated every second preset time interval, and the steps of obtaining the air conditioner operating parameters and at least one air valve control parameter and subsequent steps are executed.

[0076] Optionally, in other embodiments, in response to a data sending operation of the air conditioner or the first control device, an air conditioner operating parameter and at least one air valve control parameter are acquired.

[0077] Optionally, in some embodiments, if multiple air conditioner operating parameters and multiple groups of air valve control parameters are received, the operating parameter with the latest reception time is selected from each air conditioner operating parameter as the target operating parameter, and the control parameter with the latest reception time is selected from each group of air valve control parameters as the target control parameter, and the operating parameters other than the target operating parameters are deleted from each air conditioner operating parameter, and the control parameters other than the target control parameters are deleted from each group of air valve control parameters.

[0078] In this way, when the air conditioner and / or the second control device continuously sends data, the freshness of the air conditioner operating parameters and air valve control parameters received by the first control device is guaranteed, thereby making the safe control opening of the air valve calculated by the air conditioner operating parameters and the air valve control parameters more accurate.

[0079] Step S001: The air conditioner sends operating parameters of the air conditioner to a first control device.

[0080] In this embodiment, before step S210, the air conditioner performs step S001.

[0081] Optionally, in some embodiments, the air conditioner obtains the air conditioner operating parameters in response to a third control instruction, wherein the third control instruction can be generated by the user or automatically generated at a fixed time, for example, a second control instruction is generated every third preset time interval to execute the step of sending the air conditioner operating parameters to the first control device.

[0082] Step S220, calculating the safety control opening of each air valve based on the air conditioner operating parameters and each air valve control parameter;

[0083] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the safety control opening is the control opening of the air valve when there is no risk of pipe explosion in the ventilation duct.

[0084] Optionally, in some embodiments, after the first control device obtains the air conditioner operating parameters and at least one air valve control parameter, it calculates the safety control opening of each air valve based on the air conditioner operating parameters and each air valve control parameter. Based on this, this embodiment automatically triggers the safety control opening calculation process of the first control device, and then the opening of each air valve can be controlled according to the safety control opening.

[0086] Optionally, in some other embodiments, a first preset mapping relationship is obtained, wherein the first preset mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between both the air valve control parameters and the air conditioner operating parameters and the safety control opening of the air valve, and the air conditioner operating parameters and each of the air valve control parameters are mapped to the safety control opening of each of the air valves through the first preset mapping relationship.

[0087] Step S230, controlling the opening of each air valve according to the safety control opening.

[0088] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first control device controls the opening of each of the air valves according to the safety control opening.

[0089] Optionally, the specific method for the first control device to control the opening of each of the air valves according to the safety control opening can refer to the specific implementation of the following embodiment three, which will not be described in detail here.

[0090] Alternatively, in some other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , step S231, the first control device sends the safety control opening to the second control device;

[0091] In this embodiment, after calculating the safety control opening of each air valve based on the air conditioner operating parameters and the air valve control parameters, the first control device sends the calculated safety control opening to the second control device.

[0092] Step S110, the second control device receives the safety control opening;

[0093] In this embodiment, after the first control device sends the safety control opening degree to the second control device, the second control device receives the safety control opening degree sent by the first control device.

[0094] Step S120: The second control device controls the opening of each of the air valves according to the safety control opening.

[0095] Optionally, in some embodiments, control quantity information of each of the air valves is obtained, wherein the control quantity information includes at least one of the total quantity, the number of air valves in an open state, and the number of air valves in a closed state; based on the control quantity information and the safety control opening, each of the air valves is controlled separately.

[0096] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first control device communicates with each air valve and receives at least one air valve control parameter sent by each air valve.

[0097] Optionally, see Figure 4 The first control device 10 communicates with the second control device 11 and the air conditioner 13 respectively, and the second control device 11 communicates with each air valve 12.

[0098] Optionally, see Figure 5 , when the air outlet of the air conditioner 13 is connected to each air valve 12 through the air supply duct 14 respectively.

[0099] In this way, the existing first control device and the second control device can be improved in terms of method logic by referring to the above method, thereby improving the universal applicability of the air valve control scheme for avoiding the risk of pipe explosion in the air supply duct.

[0100] The present invention provides an air valve control method and system, a control device and a computer storage medium. In an embodiment of the present invention, the second control device can obtain the air valve control parameters of at least one air valve, and send the air valve control parameters of each air valve to the first control device, so that the first control device can obtain the air conditioner operating parameters and at least one air valve control parameter, and can calculate the safety control opening of each air valve based on the air conditioner operating parameters and each of the air valve control parameters, and send the safety control opening to the second control device, so that the second control device can control each air valve according to the received safety control opening of each air valve, so that the control basis (safety control opening) of each air valve corresponds to the air conditioner operating parameters at all times, so that the air outlet volume of each air valve after control, which is connected by the air supply duct, is balanced with the air supply volume of the air conditioner, so that the pressure inside the air supply duct is balanced, thereby avoiding the risk of bursting of the air supply duct.

[0101] Second embodiment

[0102] Please refer to Figure 6 Based on the above-mentioned first embodiment, this embodiment proposes how the first control device specifically calculates the safety control opening, thereby improving the calculation accuracy. The safety control opening is the control basis of each air valve, that is, the control of the air valve is more accurate, so the risk of pipe burst in the air supply duct can be avoided to a large extent.

[0103] In this embodiment, the air valve control parameter includes the number of open air valves, and the number of open air valves is the number of air valves in an open state. Based on the above-mentioned step S220 of the first embodiment, it includes:

[0104] Step S221, calculating the air supply volume of the air conditioner according to the operating parameters of the air conditioner;

[0105] Optionally, in some feasible embodiments, the working capacity of the air conditioner is determined based on the operating parameters of the air conditioner, wherein the working capacity is calculated by real-time working data and set working data of the air conditioner, and the real-time working data is determined by the operating parameters of the air conditioner, and the closer the real-time working data is to the set working data, the stronger the working capacity of the air conditioner is; based on the working capacity, the air supply volume of the air conditioner is calculated, wherein the stronger the working capacity is, the smaller the air supply volume is.

[0106] It is understandable that when the air conditioner is running, if the working capacity of the air conditioner is weak, it is necessary to increase the air supply of the air conditioner to enhance the working capacity of the air conditioner. If the working capacity of the air conditioner is strong, it is not necessary to increase the air supply of the air conditioner. For example, if the working capacity of the air conditioner is the cooling capacity or the heating capacity, the real-time working data is the indoor ambient temperature, and the set working data is the air conditioner set temperature. At this time, when the indoor ambient temperature is close to the air conditioner set temperature, the cooling or heating capacity of the air conditioner is strong, so there is no need to increase the air supply of the air conditioner. When the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the air conditioner set temperature is large, the cooling or heating capacity of the air conditioner is weak, so it is necessary to increase the air supply of the air conditioner to enhance the cooling or heating capacity of the air conditioner.

[0107] Optionally, in other embodiments, the air supply volume of the air conditioner is calculated based on the maximum air supply volume and the current operating wind speed, wherein the maximum air supply volume of the air conditioner is determined by the specifications of the air conditioner and is a fixed parameter, therefore, the greater the current operating wind speed, the greater the air supply volume.

[0108] Optionally, in some further embodiments, the air supply volume of the air conditioner is calculated based on the maximum air supply volume, the current operating wind speed and the working capacity, wherein the stronger the working capacity, the smaller the air supply volume, and the greater the current operating wind speed, the greater the air supply volume.

[0109] In this way, the maximum air supply volume, current operating wind speed and working capacity of the air conditioner are used together as the basis for calculating the air supply volume of the air conditioner. Therefore, the calculation accuracy of the air supply volume is improved. The air supply volume is the basis for calculating the safety control opening, that is, the calculation accuracy of the safety control opening is improved.

[0110] Step S222, based on the air supply volume and the number of open air valves, calculate the safety control opening of each air valve, wherein the larger the air supply volume, the larger the safety control opening, and the more the number of open air valves, the smaller the safety control opening.

[0111] Optionally, in some embodiments, a second preset function is obtained, wherein the second preset function includes a linear relationship between the air supply volume and the number of open air valves and the safety control opening of the air valve, and based on the air supply volume and the number of open air valves, the safety control opening of each air valve is calculated by the second preset function.

[0112] Optionally, in some other embodiments, a second preset mapping relationship is obtained, wherein the second preset mapping relationship includes a mapping relationship between the air supply volume and the number of open air valves and the safety control opening of the air valves, and the air supply volume and the number of open air valves are mapped to the safety control opening of each of the air valves through the second preset mapping relationship.

[0113] This embodiment calculates the air supply volume, and thus can calculate the safety control opening based on the air supply volume and the number of open air valves, so that the air output of each air valve controlled by the safety control opening can be balanced with the air supply volume of the air conditioner. Therefore, the pressure inside the air supply duct is balanced, thereby avoiding the risk of bursting of the air supply duct.

[0114] Third embodiment

[0115] Please refer to Figure 7 Based on the above-mentioned first embodiment, this embodiment proposes how the second control device controls each air valve according to the safety control opening, so as to achieve accurate control of the air valve, so that the air output of each controlled air valve can be balanced with the air supply volume of the air conditioner, so as to balance the pressure inside the air supply duct, thereby avoiding the risk of bursting of the air supply duct.

[0116] This embodiment is based on step S120 of the first embodiment and includes:

[0117] Step S121, determining whether the safety control opening is less than or equal to the maximum control opening of each air valve;

[0118] If the safety control opening is less than or equal to the maximum control opening of each of the air valves, step S122 is executed, for any target air valve among the air valves in the open state, when the current control opening of the target air valve is less than the safety control opening, the current control opening of the target air valve is adjusted according to the maximum control opening;

[0119] In this embodiment, the maximum control opening is the maximum opening of the air valve, for example, it can be 100%, or it can be 90% or other values.

[0120] It is understandable that there may be a situation where one or some air valves cannot be fully opened and controlled to have an opening degree, that is, the maximum opening degree of the air valve that can be fully opened and controlled to have an opening degree is 100%, while the maximum controllable opening degree of one or some air valves is 90%. At this time, the maximum opening degrees of the various air valves may not be uniform.

[0121] Optionally, in some embodiments, the average value of the maximum openings of the air valves is used as the maximum control opening.

[0122] Optionally, in other embodiments, the maximum opening among the maximum opening limits of each air valve is used as the maximum control opening.

[0123] Optionally, in some other embodiments, the minimum opening among the maximum opening limits of each air valve is used as the maximum control opening.

[0124] Optionally, in some embodiments, the control opening of the target air valve is adjusted to the safety control opening.

[0125] Optionally, in other embodiments, the target control opening of the target air valve is determined based on the safety control opening, and the control opening of the target air valve is adjusted to the target control opening, wherein the target control opening may be greater than the safety control opening.

[0126] When the current control opening of the target air valve is greater than or equal to the safety control opening, step S123 is executed to keep the current control opening of the target air valve unchanged.

[0127] In this way, when the safety control opening can be included in the opening range limited by the maximum control opening of the air valve, that is, when the control opening of the air valve in the open state can be adjusted to make the air outlet meet the air supply of the air conditioner, the control opening of each air valve in the open state is adjusted according to the safety control opening, so that the control opening of the air valve in the open state can be adjusted to make the air outlet meet the air supply of the air conditioner, thereby balancing the air supply of the air conditioner.

[0128] If the safety control opening is greater than the maximum control opening of each air valve, step S124 is executed to adjust the current control opening of each air valve in the open state according to the maximum control opening;

[0129] Optionally, in some embodiments, the control opening of each air valve in the open state is adjusted to the maximum control opening.

[0130] Optionally, in other embodiments, the target control opening of each air valve in the open state is determined based on the maximum control opening, and the control opening of each air valve in the open state is adjusted to the target control opening, wherein the target control opening may be smaller than the maximum control opening.

[0131] Step S125, controlling the air valves in the closed state to open at preset control openings.

[0132] In this embodiment, the preset control opening is any pre-set control opening.

[0133] It is understandable that when the preset control opening is any control opening, there may be a situation where the preset control opening is 100% or other larger control opening. When the air valve in the closed state is opened with a larger preset control opening, the air output of each air valve is larger, affecting the user experience.

[0134] In order to avoid the above defects, the preset control opening is set to any control opening that is less than or equal to a preset opening threshold, wherein the preset opening threshold is any non-small control opening such as 50%.

[0135] The present embodiment controls each air valve by using the size relationship between the safety control opening and the maximum control opening; when the control opening of the air valve in the open state can be adjusted to make the air outlet volume meet the air supply volume of the air conditioner, the control opening of each air valve in the open state is adjusted according to the safety control opening, so that the control opening of the air valve in the open state can be adjusted to make the air outlet volume meet the air supply volume of the air conditioner, thereby balancing the air supply volume of the air conditioner; when the control opening of the air valve in the open state cannot be adjusted to make the air outlet volume meet the air supply volume of the air conditioner, the control opening of each air valve in the open state is adjusted according to the maximum control opening; the air valves in the closed state are controlled to be opened with preset control openings respectively, thereby maximizing the air outlet volume of the air valve, balancing the air supply volume of the air conditioner as much as possible, and reducing the risk of bursting of the air supply duct.

[0136] The present invention also provides a first control device, which includes a memory, a processor, and a damper control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the damper control program implements the damper control method as described above when executed by the processor.

[0137] The present invention also provides a second control device, which includes a memory, a processor, and a damper control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the damper control program implements the damper control method as described above when executed by the processor.

[0138] The first control device communicates with the second control device.

[0139] The present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a damper control program, and when the damper control program is executed by a processor, the damper control method as described above is implemented.

[0140] It should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
