Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0049] At present, with the rapid development of the field of air conditioner technology, more and more users use air conditioners for indoor air conditioning. However, when the existing air conditioner performs air conditioning, it is necessary to consider the placement of the air conditioner to improve the air conditioning effect of the air conditioner. In larger places, a single air conditioner may not be able to meet the air conditioning load of the place. Therefore, the existing technology can meet the air conditioning load of the place by cascading the air conditioning units. However, the existing cascade air conditioning units preset the cascade order of the current air conditioning unit by dialing the code during the cascade assembly process, and the installer needs to manually adjust it during the assembly process, resulting in low deployment efficiency and high control error rate.

[0050] Based on this, the present application proposes an air conditioning control method, device, equipment and computer-readable storage medium to solve the technical problems of low deployment efficiency and high control error rate of cascade air conditioning units in the prior art.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram of a scenario of the air conditioning control method of the present application embodiment. The air conditioning control scenario in the present invention embodiment includes an air conditioning control device 100 (an air conditioning control device is integrated in the air conditioning control device 100) and a target air conditioner 200. A computer-readable storage medium corresponding to the air conditioning control method is run in the air conditioning control device 100 to execute the steps of the air conditioning control method. The target air conditioner 200 is an air conditioner that is in communication connection with the air conditioning control device 100 and is cascade-controlled by the air conditioning control device 100.

[0053] Understandably, Figure 1 The air-conditioning control equipment in the air-conditioning control method scenario shown, or the devices included in the air-conditioning control equipment, does not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention, that is, the number and type of air-conditioning control equipment included in the air-conditioning control method scenario, or the number and type of devices included in each device, do not affect the overall implementation of the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention, and can all be regarded as equivalent replacements or derivatives of the technical solution claimed to be protected by the embodiments of the present invention.

[0054] The air conditioning control device 100 in the embodiment of the present invention is mainly used to: respond to the air conditioning control request for the initial air conditioning unit and obtain the air conditioning cascade data of the target air conditioner;

[0055] Perform cascade update according to the air conditioning cascade data and the initial air conditioning unit to obtain an updated air conditioning unit;

[0056] Air conditioning control is performed according to the updated air conditioning unit data and current load data of the air conditioning unit to obtain an air conditioning control result.

[0057] The air conditioning control device 100 in the embodiment of the present invention can be an independent air conditioning control device, such as a wired controller, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a network device, a server, a smart computer and other intelligent terminals, or it can be an air conditioning control network or air conditioning control cluster composed of multiple air conditioning control devices.

[0058] The embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioning control method, apparatus, device, and computer-readable storage medium, which are described in detail below.

[0059] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The application area shown in is only one of the application scenarios related to the present application scheme and does not constitute a limitation on the application scenario of the present application scheme. Other application areas may also include Figure 1 More or fewer air conditioning control devices, or air conditioning control network connection relationships shown, such as Figure 1 Only one air conditioning control device is shown. It can be understood that the scenario of the air conditioning control method can also include one or more air conditioning control devices, which are not specifically limited here. The air conditioning control device 100 can also include a memory for storing air conditioning unit data and other data.

[0060] It should be noted that Figure 1 The scene diagram of the air-conditioning control method shown is only an example. The scene of the air-conditioning control method described in the embodiment of the present invention is to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] Based on the scenario of the above air-conditioning control method, various embodiments of the air-conditioning control method disclosed in the present invention are proposed.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of an air conditioning control method in an embodiment of the present application. The air conditioning control method includes the following steps 201 to 203:

[0063] 201. Responding to an air conditioning control request for an initial air conditioning unit, acquiring air conditioning cascade data of a target air conditioner;

[0064] The air conditioning control method in this embodiment is applied to an air conditioning control device, and the type and quantity of the air conditioning control device are not specifically limited, that is, the air conditioning control device can be one or more intelligent terminals or servers, for example, the air conditioning control device is an air conditioning wire controller, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a network device, and a smart computer, etc. Optionally, in a specific embodiment, the air conditioning control device can be a wire controller.

[0065] Among them, the air conditioner wire controller is a device used to control the air conditioner, which can be connected to the air conditioner through a specific line to realize remote control of the air conditioner. The air conditioner wire controller operates the air conditioner by sending signals to the air conditioner indoor unit control panel. Users can send specific signals through the buttons on the wire controller to control the temperature setting, wind speed adjustment, mode switching and other functions of the air conditioner. In addition, the air conditioner wire controller can also maintain real-time communication with the air conditioner system to realize real-time sending or receiving of information.

[0066] Optionally, in a specific embodiment, the air conditioning control device is an air conditioning wire controller, which can be connected to any cascade air conditioner indoor unit or cascade air conditioner outdoor unit in the initial air conditioning unit, and connects other cascade air conditioner indoor units or cascade air conditioner outdoor units in the initial air conditioning unit through a communication bus, and the air conditioning control device sends or receives information with other cascade air conditioner indoor units or cascade air conditioner outdoor units in the initial air conditioning unit through the connected cascade air conditioner indoor unit or cascade air conditioner outdoor unit. The initial air conditioning unit is a cascade air conditioning system composed of several cascade air conditioners in a cascaded state. The initial air conditioning unit can use the cascade air conditioner to provide greater cooling capacity for the air conditioning operation area, thereby meeting the cooling load demand of the air conditioning operation area.

[0067] Specifically, since the cascaded air conditioners in the existing cascaded air conditioner units rely on dial codes to define the cascade information, and the installation configuration still needs to be manually configured, which is not conducive to the rapid upgrade and deployment of air conditioner products, the air conditioner control device also responds to the air conditioner control request for the initial air conditioner unit during operation. The air conditioner control request is an air conditioner control event that drives the air conditioner control device to control the target air conditioner to be networked and added to the initial air conditioner unit of the cascade for combined operation. The target air conditioner is an intelligent air conditioner to be cascaded and combined with the initial air conditioner unit.

[0068] Specifically, when the air conditioning control device receives the air conditioning control request, it can automatically cascade the initial air conditioning unit and the target air conditioner according to the air conditioning control request. That is, after receiving the air conditioning control request triggered by the target air conditioner, the air conditioning control device locates the air conditioning cascade data of the target air conditioner in the air conditioning control request. Among them, the air conditioning cascade data is a data parameter that characterizes the air conditioning cascade state and the air conditioning device identification of the target air conditioner. In a specific embodiment, the air conditioning cascade data includes the cascade state data of the target air conditioner and the device identification data of the target air conditioner. The air conditioning control device can guide the target air conditioner that is not connected to the initial air conditioning unit to connect to the initial air conditioning unit for cascade combination through the cascade state data and the device identification data, thereby cascading update the initial air conditioning unit to obtain an updated air conditioning unit.

[0069] Optionally, in a specific embodiment, during operation, the target air conditioner can actively or upon receiving a query instruction from the air conditioning control device, send the air conditioning cascade data to the air conditioning control device using a preset public address to trigger the air conditioning control request.

[0070] Optionally, in other embodiments, during operation, the target air conditioner can also send the air conditioning cascade data to the air conditioning control device via the preset public address at a preset timing to trigger the air conditioning control request.

[0071] 202. Perform cascade update according to the air conditioning cascade data and the initial air conditioning unit to obtain an updated air conditioning unit;

[0072] Specifically, after acquiring the air-conditioning cascade data of the target air-conditioner, the air-conditioning control device also determines the cascade state of the target air-conditioner based on the air-conditioning cascade data. When the cascade state of the target air-conditioner is an uncascaded state, the target air-conditioner is guided to be cascadedly combined with the initial air-conditioning unit, thereby cascadingly updating the initial air-conditioning unit to obtain an updated air-conditioning unit.

[0073] Specifically, the air conditioning control device obtains the air conditioning cascade data, parses the air conditioning cascade data, obtains the cascade state data and device identification data in the air conditioning cascade data, and guides the target air conditioner to join the initial air conditioning unit through the cascade state data, device identification data and a preset serial protocol, thereby performing a cascade update on the initial air conditioning unit to obtain an updated air conditioning unit. The cascade state data is a state parameter that characterizes whether the target air conditioner is cascaded with the air conditioning unit. The device identification data is a unique identification parameter that characterizes the target air conditioner.

[0074] Optionally, the air conditioning control device parses the cascade status data, obtains the corresponding flag information in the cascade status data, and the cascade status of the target air conditioner. The flag information includes cascade flag information and independent flag information. If the air conditioning control device parses the cascade status data and determines that the flag information of the target air conditioner is independent flag information, then the cascade status of the target air conditioner is determined to be a non-cascaded state, that is, it indicates that the target air conditioner is not cascaded with the initial air conditioning unit.

[0075] Specifically, when the air conditioning control device determines that the cascade state of the target air conditioner is a non-cascade state, the target air conditioner is cascaded and combined with the initial air conditioning unit to obtain an updated air conditioning unit connected to the target air conditioner.

[0076] Specifically, when the air-conditioning control device determines that the target air conditioner is not cascaded with the initial air-conditioning unit, it pre-allocates the address of the target air conditioner according to the device identification data of the target air conditioner and the preset serial protocol, obtains the pre-allocated address of the target air conditioner, and cascade updates the target air-conditioning unit according to the pre-allocated address, drives the target air conditioner to be cascaded with the initial air-conditioning unit, obtains the updated air-conditioning unit, and adjusts the cascade state of the target air conditioner to the cascaded state.

[0077] 203. Perform air conditioning control according to the updated air conditioning unit data and current load data of the air conditioning unit to obtain an air conditioning control result.

[0078] Specifically, after guiding the target air conditioner to perform cascade update with the initial air conditioner unit and obtaining the updated air conditioner unit, the air conditioner control device also controls the updated air conditioner unit according to the air conditioner unit data and current load data to obtain the air conditioner control result. That is, after the air conditioner control device performs cascade update on the initial air conditioner unit, the air conditioner control device also updates the operation plan of the updated air conditioner unit according to the air conditioner unit data and current load data of the updated air conditioner unit, so that after the updated air conditioner unit is connected to the new cascade air conditioner, the operation state of the updated air conditioner unit can be dynamically adjusted to meet the air conditioning demand of the corresponding air conditioning operation area of ​​the updated air conditioner unit.

[0079] Specifically, after acquiring the updated air conditioning unit, the air conditioning control device also calculates the current load data corresponding to the updated air conditioning unit according to the cascade air conditioners of each level in the updated air conditioning unit and the number of indoor units of the updated air conditioning unit being turned on. The current load data is a parameter representing the cooling capacity or heating capacity required by the updated air conditioning unit.

[0080] Specifically, when the air conditioning control device obtains the current load data corresponding to the updated air conditioning unit, it also obtains the air conditioning unit data of each cascade air conditioner in the updated air conditioning unit, and dynamically adjusts the operating state of each cascade air conditioner in the updated air conditioning unit according to the air conditioning unit data and the current load data, so as to meet the air load demand of the air conditioning operation area corresponding to each cascade air conditioner in the updated air conditioning unit. The air conditioning unit data is air conditioning data that characterizes the air conditioning equipment information of each cascade air conditioner in the updated air conditioning unit. For example, the air conditioning unit data can include the air conditioning equipment information of each cascade air conditioner, and the air conditioning equipment information includes any one or more of the air conditioning cooling capacity, air conditioning energy consumption parameters, and historical operation time.

[0081] Optionally, in a specific embodiment, the air conditioning control device can divide the air conditioning priorities of each cascade air conditioner according to the air conditioning unit data and the current load data, thereby determining the air conditioning priority of each cascade air conditioner, and adjust the operating status and startup status of each cascade air conditioner in the updated air-conditioning unit according to the air-conditioning priority, thereby meeting the air load requirements of the air-conditioning operating areas corresponding to each cascade air conditioner in the updated air-conditioning unit.

[0082] Specifically, the air conditioning control device obtains the candidate controlled air conditioners corresponding to the target air conditioning operation area in the cascade air conditioners and the air conditioning priority of the candidate controlled air conditioners. The target controlled air conditioner in the candidate controlled air conditioners is screened based on the air conditioning priority, and the air conditioning operation state of the target controlled air conditioner is adjusted using a preset air conditioning control strategy to obtain an air conditioning control result.

[0083] In this embodiment, the air conditioning control device obtains the air conditioning cascade data of the target air conditioner by responding to the air conditioning control request for the initial air conditioning group; performs cascade update according to the air conditioning cascade data and the initial air conditioning group to obtain the updated air conditioning group; performs air conditioning control according to the air conditioning group data and current load data of the updated air conditioning group to obtain the air conditioning control result. The air conditioning cascade data of the started target air conditioner is detected, and based on the air conditioning cascade data, it is determined whether the target air conditioner is in the cascade state, and the target air conditioner is controlled to join the initial air conditioning group according to the air conditioning cascade data, thereby performing cascade update on the initial air conditioning group to obtain the updated air conditioning group including the target air conditioner, and the operating state of each air conditioner in the updated air conditioning group is controlled according to the air conditioning group data of the updated air conditioning group and the current load data of the air conditioning operation area associated with the updated air conditioning group, thereby automatically guiding the air conditioner to access the air conditioning cascade group, and intelligently adjusting the air conditioning operation state of each air conditioner in the group according to the air conditioning group data and current load data of the air conditioning cascade group, thereby improving the deployment efficiency and control accuracy of the cascade air conditioning group.

[0084] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of the air conditioning control method provided in the embodiment of the present application for adjusting the operation of the updated air conditioning unit. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air conditioning control method further includes steps 301 to 303:

[0085] 301. Obtain current sub-load data corresponding to each cascade air conditioner in the current load data, and air conditioning equipment information corresponding to each cascade air conditioner in the air conditioning unit data;

[0086] 302. Determine the air conditioning priority of the cascade air conditioner according to the current sub-load data, the air conditioning cooling capacity, the air conditioning energy consumption parameter and the historical operation time;

[0087] 303. Adjust the air-conditioning operation status of each of the cascaded air conditioners based on the air-conditioning priority to obtain an air-conditioning control result.

[0088] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, when the air-conditioning control device receives a change in cooling / heating demand or a new cascade air conditioner is connected to an updated air-conditioning unit, the operating status of each cascade air conditioner in the updated air-conditioning unit is dynamically adjusted according to the air-conditioning unit data and the current load data, thereby meeting the air load demand of the air-conditioning operating area corresponding to each cascade air conditioner in the updated air-conditioning unit.

[0089] Specifically, after obtaining the current load data, the air conditioning control device also obtains the current sub-load data corresponding to each cascade air conditioner in the current load data. The cascade air conditioner is an air conditioner indoor unit in the updated air conditioning unit that is in the on state. The current sub-load data is the cooling demand or heating demand that the cascade air conditioner needs to provide.

[0090] Specifically, the air conditioning control device obtains the air conditioning equipment information corresponding to each cascade air conditioner in the air conditioning unit data, wherein the air conditioning equipment information includes any one or more of the air conditioning cooling capacity, air conditioning energy consumption parameters and historical operating time.

[0091] Specifically, after acquiring the air conditioning cooling capacity, air conditioning energy consumption parameters and historical operation time in each current sub-load data and air conditioning equipment information, the air conditioning control device determines the air conditioning priority of the cascade air conditioner according to the current sub-load data, the air conditioning cooling capacity, air conditioning energy consumption parameters and historical operation time. The air conditioning priority is a parameter representing the priority order for starting or controlling the cascade air conditioner.

[0092] Optionally, in a specific embodiment, after the air conditioning control device obtains the air conditioning cooling capacity, air conditioning energy consumption parameters and historical operating time of each cascade air conditioner, as well as the current sub-load data, it also determines the cascade air conditioning type in the cascade air conditioner according to the historical operating time of each cascade air conditioner and the air conditioning maintenance time of the cascade air conditioner. Among them, the cascade air conditioning type includes a first air conditioning type and a second air conditioning type. Among them, the first air conditioning type is a type of cascade air conditioning in warranty, which indicates that the cascade air conditioner is within the maintenance period. The second air conditioning type is a type of cascade air conditioning out of warranty, which indicates that the cascade air conditioner is outside the maintenance period. Among them, the air conditioning maintenance time is set by the manufacturer, which indicates that the cascade air conditioner is in a specified period of time during the maintenance validity period and the warranty validity period. After the cascade air conditioner undergoes annual inspection or after-sales inspection and maintenance, the air conditioning maintenance time of the cascade air conditioner can be modified by the manufacturer accordingly.

[0093] Optionally, if the air conditioning control device determines that the cascade air conditioning type of the cascade air conditioner is the first air conditioning type within the maintenance period, the air conditioning control device determines the air conditioning priority of the cascade air conditioner according to the first air conditioning type, the current sub-load data and the air conditioning energy consumption parameter. That is, the air conditioner sets the first air conditioning priority of the cascade air conditioner from low to high according to the air conditioning energy consumption parameters of different cascade air conditioners, wherein the lower the air conditioning energy consumption parameter, the higher the corresponding first air conditioning priority, and the air conditioning control device starts the cascade air conditioner of the first air conditioning type according to the first air conditioning priority until the cooling capacity of the cascade air conditioner meets the current load data and / or the current sub-load data.

[0094] Optionally, if the air conditioning control device determines that the cascade air conditioning type is a second air conditioning type that is not within the maintenance period, the air conditioning control device determines the second air conditioning priority of the cascade air conditioner according to the second air conditioning type, the air conditioning cooling capacity, the air conditioning energy consumption parameter and the current sub-load data.
