Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent environmental control technology, specifically relating to an indoor temperature and humidity precision control system and method based on multi-device integration. By uniformly controlling devices such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, and electric heaters, it achieves efficient regulation of temperature (16-30℃) and humidity (30-70% RH), and is suitable for home, hotel, office and commercial scenarios. Background Technology

[0002] Existing indoor environmental control systems have the following problems: (1) Low efficiency of multi-device collaboration: Air conditioners, dehumidifiers, humidifiers and other equipment operate independently and lack a unified scheduling strategy, resulting in energy redundancy and response delay; (2) Insufficient human-computer interaction: Traditional physical buttons or single touch interfaces are difficult to adapt to complex scenario requirements, and user operation is cumbersome and prone to accidental touch; (3) Poor cross-brand compatibility: The communication protocols between devices are not uniform, and additional adaptation is required when modifying existing buildings, which is costly.

[0003] Prior art references: (1) Patent CN2025208204320 (integrated air conditioning equipment collaborative control button) applied by the same applicant: proposes a physical / virtual dual-state interactive button, which connects to the central controller through a standardized interface, supports unified scheduling of 15 types of HVAC equipment, and solves the problem of control conflict in traditional systems; (2) Patent CN2025208204335 (Microenvironment controller for the transformation of central air conditioning terminal system) applied by the same applicant: adopts modular design, integrates multi-protocol adapter and dynamic heat dissipation system, supports plug-and-play for cross-brand equipment, and adapts to the needs of multiple scenarios such as medical care and hotels.

[0004] While the aforementioned patents have improved the equipment collaboration capabilities, they still have the following limitations: (1) Insufficient scene adaptation: It does not cover the multi-device integrated control needs of small spaces such as family homes; (2) Weak functional expandability: It does not integrate dehumidifiers, electric heaters and other equipment, and cannot achieve full-range temperature and humidity adjustment (30-70% RH). Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the two patents mentioned above, this invention proposes a multi-device integrated temperature and humidity control system. Through hardware integration and software algorithm optimization, it achieves full-scene adaptation and precise control, and enhances the interaction design.

[0006] In terms of hardware integration, the first feature is the adoption of collaborative control button reuse: retaining the physical / virtual dual-state button design (transparent acrylic encapsulation, RGB LED status indicator), and adding a "fusion" button function, short press to start multi-device collaborative mode, long press to switch to humidity priority strategy; the second feature is the upgrade of the micro-environment controller: integrating a floating point adjustment module and a dynamic heat dissipation system, expanding support for device protocols (such as Modbus, Zigbee) of dehumidifiers, humidifiers, electric heaters, etc., to adapt to scenarios such as hotels and homes.

[0007] Software algorithm optimization includes dynamic energy efficiency strategies and scenario-based priority rules: (1) Dynamic energy efficiency strategy: Automatically select the optimal equipment combination based on the target temperature and humidity (e.g., when the humidity is high, the dehumidifier and air conditioner are started first to assist in cooling), resulting in a high overall energy saving rate; (2) Contextual priority rules: In hotel room mode, humidity adjustment has a higher priority than temperature, and in home mode, voice commands can be used to quickly switch between modes.

[0008] Enhanced interaction design includes multimodal touchscreen interfaces and voice interaction: (1) Multimodal touch screen interface: Displays device status (running / standby / fault), energy consumption curve and environmental parameter thresholds; (2) Voice linkage: Supports natural language commands (such as "adjust humidity to 50%), and automatically broadcasts reminders when there is an abnormality.

[0009] The system architecture of this invention mainly includes an integrated button device, a micro-environment controller, and a cloud management platform. (1) Integrated button devices: Air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc. are equipped with "integrated" buttons and are connected to the micro-environment controller via the SPI interface; (2) Micro-environment controller: integrates multi-protocol adapters, supports wall-mounted / magnetic installation, and real-time scheduling of equipment operating parameters; (3) Cloud management platform: data synchronization and analysis, supporting remote firmware upgrades and energy efficiency report generation.

[0010] The main applications of this invention are high-efficiency dehumidification in hotel rooms and humidification control in homes and residences. (1) High-efficiency dehumidification of hotel rooms: The combined operation of fan coil units and dehumidifiers reduces humidity fluctuations to ≤±3% RH, and the energy consumption can be reduced by 25% based on comprehensive calculations; (2) Dehumidification or humidification control in residential homes: Split air conditioners work in conjunction with dehumidifiers or humidifiers to maintain humidity at around 60% in summer, keeping the air conditioner dry while cooling down; in winter, humidity is maintained at 50-60% RH to reduce the risk of respiratory diseases.
