In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present invention, the communication between the main control device and the slave control device exchanges data in a serial time-sharing manner. One of the main control device and the slave control device is a control panel or a wired controller or a remote control receiving board, and the other of the main control device and the slave control device is a main control board. When the indoor and outdoor units are used in combination, there is a problem of incompatibility between the new and old protocols between the main control device and the slave control device.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present invention, the control panel is used as the main control device, and the main control board is used as the slave control device.

[0050] According to the air conditioner controller communication protocol processing method provided by the first aspect embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , including:

[0051] S100. In response to determining that initialization is completed, send a first communication protocol to the slave control device and receive the response result of the slave control device.

[0052] It can be understood that initialization refers to a series of preparatory work performed when the indoor and outdoor units are started, including but not limited to loading the operating system, configuring hardware resources, and network connections. When these preparatory works are completed, the main functions can be started. After the initialization is completed, the main control device needs to establish communication with the slave control device. In order to achieve effective data exchange, both parties need to follow a specific communication rule, that is, the communication protocol. At this stage, the main control device will send the first communication protocol to the slave control device. After receiving the first communication protocol sent by the main control device, the slave control device will respond to the first communication protocol. The response result may be to confirm that the protocol has been received and understood, or it may indicate that the protocol cannot be recognized or supported. The main control device will wait and receive the response result of the slave control device.

[0053] S110. Determine the next communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device based on the response result from the control device, and determine the valid communication protocol types of the slave control device. Among them, the communication protocol types include a first communication protocol and a second communication protocol, and one of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol is a new communication protocol, and the other is an old communication protocol.

[0054] It can be understood that when the master control device receives the response result of the slave control device to the first communication protocol sent by it, it will analyze this response result to determine whether the slave control device can understand and support the protocol. If the slave control device confirms support, this protocol can continue to be used for communication; if not, another compatible communication protocol may need to be selected. After analyzing the response result of the slave control device, the master control device can determine which communication protocols are valid, that is, which communication protocols the slave control device can recognize and process, ensuring that subsequent data exchanges can be carried out under a communication protocol that both parties can understand, thus avoiding communication errors or data loss. The master control device can determine the next communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device based on the response result of the slave control device. For example, if the slave control device can correctly respond to the first communication protocol, the subsequent code is sent according to the first communication protocol, and the first communication protocol is determined as the valid communication protocol. For different response results, the next communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device is also different, and the determined valid communication protocol may also be different.

[0055] It should be noted that one of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol is a new communication protocol, and the other is an old communication protocol. That is, after initialization, the master control device can verify through the new communication protocol or the old communication protocol. According to the response result of the slave control device, the valid communication protocol of the slave control device can be determined as the first communication protocol or the second communication protocol. Of course, it also includes other situations pointed out in the subsequent technical solutions.

[0056] S120. Configure the communication protocol type with the slave control device as the above valid communication protocol type.

[0057] It can be understood that in the previous step, the master control device has determined which communication protocols are valid based on the response result of the slave control device, that is, the protocols that the slave control device can recognize and process. To ensure the normal progress of data exchange between the master control device and the slave control device, the communication protocol type between the two parties needs to be set as the above valid communication protocol type. At this time, software or hardware settings need to be changed to enable the control device to follow the correct communication rules.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present invention, when the indoor unit and the outdoor unit communicate for the first time, a first communication protocol is sent to the slave control device, and the effective communication protocol type of the slave control device is determined according to the response result of the slave control device. By means of experiments, the effective communication protocol type between the master control device and the slave control device can be determined, enabling the indoor unit and the outdoor unit with any combination to operate effectively and avoiding control logic errors or affecting the operating system.

[0059] In some embodiments, the step of sending the first communication protocol to the slave control device includes:

[0060] Sending the first communication protocol to the slave control device for a first preset number of times.

[0061] It can be understood that the master control device needs to repeatedly send the first communication protocol to the slave control device according to the first preset number of times. For example, continuously sending the first communication protocol to the slave control device 5 times.

[0062] At this time, the step of determining the communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device next according to the response result of the slave control device specifically includes:

[0063] S111. Determining the communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device next according to the response result of the slave control device to the first communication protocol for the first preset number of times.

[0064] It can be understood that when the master control device repeatedly sends the first communication protocol to the slave control device according to the first preset number of times, if the slave control device can recognize and process the first communication protocol, it should correctly respond to the first communication protocol. The communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device next can be determined according to the actual number of times the slave control device correctly responds to the first communication protocol for the first preset number of times.

[0065] In some embodiments, the step of determining the communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device next according to the response result of the slave control device to the first communication protocol for the first preset number of times specifically includes:

[0066] S1111. Determining the first actual number of times the slave control device correctly responds to the first communication protocol.

[0067] It can be understood that when the slave control device receives the first communication protocol sent by the master control device, if it can understand and support this protocol, it will give a correct response. The response result may be to confirm receiving the protocol or indicate that subsequent data exchange can be carried out according to this protocol. The first actual number of times refers to the actual number of times the slave control device correctly responds to the first communication protocol, which may be different from the first preset number of times because the slave control device may not give a correct response in each attempt due to various reasons (such as network delay, device failure, etc.).

[0068] S1112. When a preset condition is satisfied between the first actual number of times and the first preset number of times, determine that the first communication protocol is the valid communication protocol type of the slave control device.

[0069] It can be understood that the preset condition refers to one or more pre-set judgment criteria. When the relationship between the first actual number of times and the first preset number of times conforms to these criteria, it can be considered that the condition is satisfied. For example, the preset condition is that the first actual number of times is equal to the first preset number of times, or the first actual number of times reaches a certain proportion of the first preset number of times, etc. In the embodiments of the present invention, the first preset number of times can be 5 times. At this time, when the first actual number of times is greater than or equal to 3 times, it can be considered that the preset condition is met.

[0070] In some embodiments, after the step of determining the first actual number of times when the slave control device correctly responds to the first communication protocol, it further includes:

[0071] S1113. When the preset condition is not satisfied between the first actual number of times and the first preset number of times, send the second communication protocol to the slave control device, determine the communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device next according to the response result of the slave control device, and determine the valid communication protocol type of the slave control device.

[0072] It can be understood that when the preset condition is not satisfied between the first actual number of times and the first preset number of times, for example, the first actual number of times is not equal to the first preset number of times, or the first actual number of times does not reach a certain proportion of the first preset number of times. At this time, the first communication protocol has been excluded, and it is necessary to replace the second communication protocol to verify the valid communication protocol of the slave control device. The content of step S1113 is the same as that of steps S100 and S110, but the verification object has changed.

[0073] In some embodiments, the step of sending the second communication protocol to the slave control device, determining the communication protocol type to be sent to the slave control device next according to the response result of the slave control device, and determining the valid communication protocol type of the slave control device specifically includes:

[0074] S11131. Send the second communication protocol for the second preset number of times to the slave control device.

[0075] It can be understood that the master control device needs to repeatedly send the second communication protocol to the slave control device according to the second preset number of times. For example, continuously send the second communication protocol to the slave control device 5 times.

[0076] S11132. Determine the second actual number of times when the slave control device correctly responds to the second communication protocol.

[0077] It can be understood that when the secondary control device receives the second communication protocol sent by the primary control device, if it can understand and support this protocol, it will give a correct response. The response result may be to confirm the receipt of the protocol or indicate that subsequent data exchange can be carried out according to this protocol. The second actual number refers to the actual number of times the secondary control device correctly responds to the second communication protocol, which may be different from the second preset number because the secondary control device may fail to give a correct response in each attempt due to various reasons (such as network latency, device failure, etc.).

[0078] S11133. When a preset condition is met between the second actual number and the second preset number, determine that the second communication protocol is the valid communication protocol type of the secondary control device.

[0079] It can be understood that when the relationship between the second actual number and the second preset number meets the preset condition, for example, the preset condition is that the second actual number is equal to the second preset number, or the second actual number reaches a certain proportion of the second preset number, etc. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second preset number can be 5 times. When the second actual number is greater than or equal to 3 times, it can be considered that the preset condition is met. At this time, it can be confirmed that the second communication protocol is the valid communication protocol type of the secondary control device.

[0080] In some embodiments, after the step of determining the second actual number of times the secondary control device correctly responds to the second communication protocol, it further includes:

[0081] S11134. When the preset condition is not met between the second actual number and the second preset number, circularly send the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol to the secondary control device.

[0082] It can be understood that when the relationship between the second actual number and the second preset number does not meet the preset standard, for example, the second actual number is not equal to the second preset number, or the second actual number does not reach a certain proportion of the second preset number. At this time, the second communication protocol has been excluded, and other methods are needed to verify the valid communication protocol. The primary control device will continuously send the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol to the secondary control device in a certain order or at a certain time interval. Through this process, the primary control device can try different communication methods to establish an effective connection with the secondary control device and judge whether it is necessary to adjust the communication protocol according to the response of the secondary control device.

[0083] S11135. When the number of cycles is less than or equal to the third preset number, and the secondary control device correctly responds to either the first communication protocol or the second communication protocol, determine that the communication protocol type correctly responded by the secondary control device is the valid communication protocol.

[0084] It can be understood that the number of cycles refers to the total number of times the master control device sends the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol to the slave control device. When the number of cycles is greater than the third preset number, it can be considered that the cut-off point of the test has been reached. When the slave control device receives the first communication protocol or the second communication protocol sent by the master control device, if it can understand and support one of the communication protocols, it will give a correct response. By judging the response of the slave control device to the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol, it can be determined which communication protocol is effective. Through this process, the master control device can judge which protocol is suitable for subsequent data exchange according to the actual response of the slave control device to different communication protocols sent in a loop.

[0085] In some embodiments, after the step of cyclically sending the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol to the slave control device, it further includes:

[0086] S11136. When the number of cycles is greater than the third preset number and the slave control device fails to correctly respond to any one of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol, a fault signal is generated.

[0087] It can be understood that when the number of cycles is greater than the third preset number, it can be considered that the cut-off point of the test has been reached. If at this time the slave control device still fails to correctly respond to any one of the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol, it can prove that there is a fault in one of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. At this time, a fault signal is issued. Issuing a fault signal is to send a warning message to the operator, maintenance personnel or control system in a specific way, reminding the relevant personnel to pay attention to potential problems and take corresponding measures to solve or prevent the further deterioration of the problems.

[0089] A communication module 201, configured to send the first communication protocol to the slave control device in response to determining that initialization is completed, and receive the response result of the slave control device.

Moreover, some content is described in detail in the air conditioner controller communication protocol processing method provided in the first aspect embodiment, and all the content in the air conditioner controller communication protocol processing method is also applicable to the air conditioner controller communication protocol processing device provided in the second aspect embodiment.
