Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and specifically relates to a control method, device, mobile terminal, wire controller and medium for a wire controller. Background Art

[0002] The existing naming method for air conditioner indoor units generally selects a DIP switch or names the air conditioner indoor unit through a wire controller to determine the air conditioner indoor unit and control the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0003] The DIP switch usually consists of one or more switches. When there are multiple air conditioner indoor units, it is necessary to manually name multiple air conditioner indoor units through the DIP switch in sequence. The naming method of the DIP switch usually relies on binary coding, which is prone to naming repetition or error, and cannot accurately distinguish and control each air conditioner indoor unit. The device may not work properly, resulting in communication anomalies and equipment failures; moreover, as a hardware component, the DIP switch requires a certain product development cost.

[0004] In the prior art, naming the air conditioner indoor unit through a wire controller usually names the air conditioner indoor unit directly on the wire controller. However, because the commonly used wire controller for air conditioner indoor units is a small color screen wire controller, the screen size of the wire controller is small, and it cannot display too many characters or information at the same time. Moreover, it usually does not have a complete input method function and can only perform simple digital naming on the air conditioner indoor unit, and cannot directly input complex characters such as Chinese and special symbols, making it difficult to handle complex naming situations.

[0005] For example, when a wire controller controls multiple indoor units, multiple air conditioner indoor units can be named 01-16 through the wire controller. Although this simple digital naming seemingly realizes the basic function of one controller controlling multiple machines of the wire controller, in actual applications, many disadvantages are exposed. For example, in a complex scenario where a wire controller controls multiple indoor units, and the multiple indoor units are on different floors or different areas on the same floor, and there are multiple indoor units in each floor or each area, this naming method is not clear enough, making it difficult to distinguish the air conditioner indoor units and unable to intuitively reflect key information such as the specific location, floor, room number or area of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0006] At the same time, when it is necessary to perform group control on multiple air conditioner indoor units, this naming method cannot achieve group naming of the air conditioner indoor units, and thus cannot achieve group control of the air conditioner indoor units based on group naming.

[0007] Therefore, the existing naming methods for the indoor units of air conditioners, whether it is the naming method of the dip switch or the simple digital naming directly on the remote controller, cannot meet the requirements of complex scenarios. For example, when a single remote controller controls multiple indoor units of air conditioners, it is impossible to name the indoor units of air conditioners complexly to accurately distinguish each indoor unit; let alone group name the indoor units of air conditioners to achieve group control of the indoor units of air conditioners.

[0008] Correspondingly, there is a need in the art for a new control method for remote controllers to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The singular terms "a" and "the" may also include the plural form.

[0052] The naming method of existing indoor air conditioners generally selects a DIP switch or names the indoor air conditioner through a wired controller to determine the indoor air conditioner and control it.

[0053] The naming method of the DIP switch usually relies on binary coding, which is prone to naming repetition or errors, and cannot accurately distinguish and control each indoor air conditioner. The device may not work properly, resulting in communication anomalies and equipment failures.

[0054] In the prior art, naming the indoor air conditioner through a wired controller is usually to directly name the indoor air conditioner on the wired controller. However, since the commonly used wired controller for indoor air conditioners is a small color screen wired controller, the screen size of the wired controller is small, and it cannot display too many characters or information at the same time, and usually does not have a complete input method function. It can only simply name the indoor air conditioner with numbers and cannot directly input complex characters such as Chinese and special symbols, making it difficult to handle complex naming situations.

[0055] For example, when a remote controller controls multiple indoor units, the multiple air conditioner indoor units can be named 01 - 16 through the remote controller. Although this simple numerical naming seemingly realizes the basic function of one remote controller controlling multiple units, it exposes many drawbacks in practical applications. For example, in a complex scenario where one remote controller controls multiple indoor units, and the multiple indoor units are on different floors or in different areas on the same floor, and there are multiple indoor units in each floor or each area, this naming method is not clear enough to distinguish the air conditioner indoor units, and it is impossible to intuitively reflect key information such as the specific location, floor, room number, or area of the air conditioner indoor units. At the same time, when it is necessary to group - control multiple air conditioner indoor units, this naming method cannot achieve grouped naming of the air conditioner indoor units, and thus cannot achieve grouped control of the air conditioner indoor units based on grouped naming.

[0056] Therefore, the existing naming methods for air conditioner indoor units, whether it is the naming method using a dip - switch or the simple numerical naming directly on the remote controller, cannot meet the requirements of complex scenarios. For example, when a single remote controller controls multiple air conditioner indoor units, it is impossible to perform complex naming on the air conditioner indoor units to accurately distinguish each indoor unit; even more impossible to perform grouped naming on the air conditioner indoor units to achieve grouped control of the air conditioner indoor units.

[0057] To improve the user experience, the present invention obtains the remote - controller configuration information based on the communication module of the mobile terminal, performs a naming operation on at least one air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the corresponding naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit, and sends the naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit to the remote controller, so that the remote controller controls the corresponding at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on the naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit, achieving the consistency between the remote controller and the mobile terminal, and meeting the requirement of accurately distinguishing multiple air conditioner indoor units, and being able to control multiple air conditioner indoor units according to the naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0058] Refer to the appendix Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the main step - flow of applying the control method of the remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention to a mobile terminal. Both the mobile terminal and the remote controller are provided with communication modules. The mobile terminal and the remote controller are communicatively connected based on their respective communication modules. The remote controller is communicatively connected to at least one air conditioner indoor unit to control at least one air conditioner indoor unit to perform corresponding operations based on the remote controller;

[0059] As Figure 1 shown, when the control method of the remote controller in the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a mobile terminal, it mainly includes the following steps S101 to step S103.

[0060] Step S101: Obtain the remote - controller configuration information based on the communication module of the mobile terminal;

[0061] In this embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0062] Send a communication connection request to the remote controller; establish a communication connection with the remote controller through the communication module; after successfully establishing a communication connection with the remote controller, receive the remote controller configuration information;

[0063] In one embodiment, the mobile terminal performs transparent transmission with the remote controller through the communication module, or uses an encryption protocol for information transmission.

[0064] In one embodiment, the communication modules provided on the mobile terminal and the remote controller are one of the wired or wireless communication modules such as a wifi module, a bluetooth module, or an NFC module, and the communication modules provided on the mobile terminal and the remote controller are the same. It should be noted that the communication modules provided on the mobile terminal and the remote controller being a wifi module, a bluetooth module, or an NFC module, etc., the wired or wireless communication modules are only exemplary descriptions. In actual use, the communication module can be selected according to needs, as long as it is ensured that the communication modules provided on the mobile terminal and the remote controller are the same.

[0065] In this embodiment, the remote controller configuration information includes the remote controller identification information and the air conditioner indoor unit information of all the air conditioner indoor units communicating with the remote controller. The remote controller identification information includes, but is not limited to, the remote controller model. The air conditioner indoor unit information includes at least one of the address of the air conditioner indoor unit, the indoor unit name, and the grouping information. The address of the air conditioner indoor unit includes at least one of the IP address and the physical location address.

[0066] In this embodiment, the remote controller includes a display interface. Obtaining the remote controller configuration information through the communication module of the mobile terminal includes:

[0067] Based on the remote controller identification information, obtain the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface information of the remote controller through the communication module of the mobile terminal; the various parameter information of the remote controller itself can be confirmed according to the remote controller model in the remote controller identification information, so as to call up the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface of the remote controller and determine the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface information;

[0068] Obtain the air conditioner indoor unit information based on the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface information of the remote controller; the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface information contains various information of all the air conditioner indoor units connected to the remote controller, including at least one of the address of the air conditioner indoor unit, the indoor unit name, and the grouping information.

[0069] Step S102: Based on the obtained remote controller configuration information, perform a naming operation on at least one air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the corresponding air conditioner indoor unit naming result, where the naming operation includes at least one of creating a new name, modifying a name, and grouping naming;

[0070] In this embodiment, performing a naming operation on at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on the obtained remote controller configuration information includes:

[0071] Group at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on at least one of the address, indoor unit name, and grouping information of the air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the grouping setting result of the corresponding air conditioner indoor unit;

[0072] Group name the corresponding at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on the grouping setting result.

[0073] In one embodiment, when the wired controller configuration information includes the address of the air conditioner indoor unit, the naming operation of creating a new name for at least one air conditioner indoor unit can be performed according to the address of the air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the air conditioner indoor unit name; for example, when the address of any air conditioner indoor unit is the first floor of the dormitory building, the air conditioner indoor unit can be named: Dormitory Building F1;

[0074] In one embodiment, when the wired controller configuration information includes the indoor unit name of the air conditioner indoor unit, the naming operation of modifying the name of at least one air conditioner indoor unit can be performed according to the name of the air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the modified air conditioner indoor unit name; for example, when the name of the air conditioner indoor unit on the first floor of the dormitory building is "Default 1", its name can be modified, and the modified name is Dormitory Building F1;

[0075] In one embodiment, when the wired controller configuration information includes the grouping information of the air conditioner indoor unit, the naming operation of grouping and naming at least one air conditioner indoor unit can be performed according to the grouping information of the air conditioner indoor unit to obtain the grouped air conditioner indoor unit name; for example, when the grouping information of any air conditioner indoor unit is the first group on the first floor of the dormitory building, it can be named F1-1; or, the grouping information of the air conditioner indoor unit is modified, and the grouping of any air conditioner indoor unit is modified to other groups;

[0076] In one embodiment, when it is necessary to group control at least one air conditioner indoor unit, the at least one air conditioner indoor unit can be grouped and set to obtain the grouping setting result of the corresponding air conditioner indoor unit; for example, in different floors of an office building, there are 01-05 indoor units on the first floor, 06-10 indoor units on the second floor, and 11-16 indoor units on the third floor. Different floors have different temperature requirements. At this time, grouping settings can be performed through a mobile terminal. The 01-05 indoor units are set as Group 1, the 06-10 indoor units are Group 2, and the 11-16 indoor units are Group 3, and they are respectively named Office Building H-F1, Office Building H-F2, and Office Building H-F3.

[0077] It should be noted that the above example content is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the embodiments of the present application. The naming operation of at least one air conditioner indoor unit can be performed based on any naming method according to actual needs.

[0078] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal includes a display screen. Based on the obtained wired controller configuration information, the naming operation of at least one air conditioner indoor unit includes:

[0079] Based on the obtained information of the naming display interface of the air conditioner indoor unit of the remote controller, display the naming display interface of the air conditioner indoor unit of the remote controller on the display screen of the mobile terminal, and perform a naming operation on at least one air conditioner indoor unit displayed on the display interface to obtain the corresponding naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0080] Refer to the appendix Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the display screen of the mobile terminal. As Figure 2 shown, when the information of the naming display interface of the air conditioner indoor unit of the remote controller is obtained, the information of the naming display interface of the air conditioner indoor unit of the remote controller is sent to the mobile terminal through the communication module and displayed on the mobile terminal; when the remote controller is connected to 16 indoor units, the IP addresses are 01, 02... 16 respectively, and the corresponding indoor unit name is behind each IP address. The indoor unit name can be modified and named according to the actual situation. Double-clicking on the box of the indoor unit name will pop up the input method, and then the setting can be carried out. To obtain the naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit, you can click to synchronize with the remote controller at one key. At this time, the mobile terminal will send the data to the remote controller through the communication module, and the remote controller will synchronize the information about the indoor unit naming of the mobile terminal. Optionally, the information of the naming display interface of the air conditioner indoor unit of the remote controller also includes the grouping information of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the grouping information of the air conditioner indoor unit can be displayed on the mobile terminal and modified and synchronized to the remote controller. It should be noted that the content displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal here and the specific content of the naming operation are only illustrative and do not limit the implementation manner of the present application. In actual use, the display and operation can be carried out according to actual needs.

[0081] Step S103: Send the naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit to the remote controller so that the remote controller controls the corresponding at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on the naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0082] In this embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0083] Based on the naming result of the air conditioner indoor unit, set the priority order of the air conditioner indoor unit;

[0084] Send the priority order of the air conditioner indoor unit to the remote controller so that the remote controller controls the corresponding at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on the priority order of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the naming operation only includes creating a new name and modifying a name and there is no need to group at least one air conditioner indoor unit, setting the priority order of the air conditioner indoor unit only requires directly setting the priority for a single air conditioner indoor unit; after grouping at least one air conditioner indoor unit, the priority can be set according to the grouping result, or the priority can be set for a single air conditioner indoor unit.

[0086] In one embodiment, the priority order can be set according to the user's habits. For example, when the grouping setting result includes two groups, the indoor units of the air conditioners in each room on the first floor are in one group with a priority of 1; the indoor units of the air conditioners in each room on the second floor are in another group with a priority of 2; the group with a priority of 2 has a higher priority than the group with a priority of 1. When the cooling capacity of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is insufficient, the rooms on the second floor, that is, the group with a priority of 2, are preferentially guaranteed to be cooled to the cooling temperature, and then the cooling effect of the group with a priority of 1 is ensured. When a failure occurs, the control of the group with a higher priority can receive a signal first for an emergency warning, shutdown and other operations. It should be noted that the method for setting the priority of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is only an illustrative example, and in actual use, the priority of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be set according to actual needs.

[0087] In one embodiment, the naming result of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is sent to the wired controller through the communication module of the mobile terminal to display the naming result of the indoor unit of the air conditioner on the display interface of the wired controller and / or perform corresponding control on the corresponding indoor unit of the air conditioner based on the naming result of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0088] In one embodiment, when the naming result of the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes the name of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, the wired controller can be made to control at least one indoor unit of the air conditioner based on the name of the indoor unit of the air conditioner; when the naming result of the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes the naming result of the grouping of the indoor units of the air conditioner, the wired controller can be made to perform grouping control on at least one indoor unit of the air conditioner based on the naming result of the grouping of the indoor units of the air conditioner; when the naming result of the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes the priority order, the wired controller can be made to control at least one indoor unit of the air conditioner based on the priority order.

[0089] Refer to the appendix Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the main step flow of applying the control method of the wired controller according to an embodiment of the present invention to the wired controller. The wired controller is communicatively connected to at least one indoor unit of the air conditioner to control at least one indoor unit of the air conditioner to perform corresponding operations; both the mobile terminal and the wired controller are provided with communication modules, and the mobile terminal and the wired controller are communicatively connected based on their respective communication modules;

The remote controller identification information includes, but is not limited to, the remote controller model. The air conditioner indoor unit information includes at least one of the address, the indoor unit name, and the grouping information of the air conditioner indoor unit. The address of the air conditioner indoor unit includes at least one of the IP address and the physical location address.

[0095] In one embodiment, the remote controller performs transparent transmission with the mobile terminal through the communication module, or uses an encryption protocol for information interaction.

[0096] In one embodiment, a wired connection or a wireless connection is used between the remote controller and the air conditioner indoor unit, such as communication methods like RS485, homebus, wifi, etc. It should be noted that the communication method between the remote controller and the air conditioner indoor unit is only for illustrative purposes and does not limit the embodiments of the present invention. In actual use, the communication connection method can be selected according to needs.

[0097] In this embodiment, the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface information of the remote controller is determined; the air conditioner indoor unit information is obtained based on the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface information of the remote controller; the air conditioner indoor unit naming display interface information includes various information of all the air conditioner indoor units connected to the remote controller.

[0098] Step S302: Send it to the mobile terminal through the communication module of the remote controller, so that the mobile terminal performs a naming operation on at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on the obtained remote controller configuration information to obtain the corresponding air conditioner indoor unit naming result, where the naming operation includes at least one of creating a new name, modifying a name, and grouping naming;

[0099] Step S303: Receive the air conditioner indoor unit naming result sent by the mobile terminal;

[0101] In this embodiment, the control method further includes:

[0102] Receive the priority order of the air conditioner indoor unit sent by the mobile terminal through the communication module of the remote controller, and control the corresponding at least one air conditioner indoor unit based on the priority order of the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0103] The remote controller includes a display interface. Receiving the air conditioner indoor unit naming result sent by the mobile terminal includes:
