[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] In order to solve the problem that the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in the prior art will directly cause the air conditioner to stop running and affect the user experience, the present embodiment increases a control line between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. In the case of communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, a specific signal is transmitted through the control line to realize emergency control in the case of communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The air conditioner does not need to stop running, which ensures the operation of the air conditioner and improves the user experience.

[0049] The pulse signal output port is provided in the indoor unit, and the pulse signal detection port is provided in the outdoor unit, and the pulse signal output port is in communication connection with the pulse signal detection port. Specifically, the pulse signal output port is provided in the controller of the indoor unit, and the pulse signal detection port is provided in the controller of the outdoor unit.

[0050] As shown in Figure 2 , the air conditioner comprises an indoor unit 10 and an outdoor unit 20, and the indoor unit 10 and the outdoor unit 20 are both provided with a communication port, and the two communication ports are connected through a communication line 30. The indoor unit 10 and the outdoor unit 20 communicate through the communication line 30, which is the original communication mode between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The present embodiment increases a control line between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. Specifically, a pulse signal output port is provided in the indoor unit 10, and a pulse signal detection port is provided in the outdoor unit 20, and the pulse signal output port is in communication connection with the pulse signal detection port. The output and detection of the pulse signal can be realized by using existing components. In the process of emergency control, the indoor unit 10 acts as the upper computer, and the outdoor unit 20 acts as the lower computer.

[0051] The present embodiment provides an air conditioner communication failure emergency control method, which is executed by the indoor unit.

[0052] Figure 3 The present embodiment provides an air conditioner communication failure emergency control method, which is executed by the indoor unit. Figure 3 The present embodiment provides an air conditioner communication failure emergency control method, which is executed by the indoor unit.

[0053] S301, detecting the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.

[0054] S302, continuously outputting a preset pulse signal to the outdoor unit.

[0055] S303, when there is a control demand, inserting a target signal corresponding to the control demand into the pulse signal, so that the outdoor unit performs an operation corresponding to the control demand according to the target signal, wherein different control demands correspond to different target signals.

[0056] The pulse signal belongs to a discrete signal, and the preset pulse signal can be a signal with a preset period (or frequency) and a preset duty cycle, for example, a pulse signal with a frequency of 100 Hz and a duty cycle of 50%.

[0057] Different target signals represent different control instructions. The target signal also belongs to a discrete signal, and the target signal is different from the preset pulse signal, so that the outdoor unit can identify the target signal from the received signal and obtain the control instruction. After receiving the signal transmitted by the indoor unit, the outdoor unit performs signal recognition and performs corresponding operations according to the recognition result to control the load in the outdoor unit.

[0058] In this embodiment, after detecting the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the indoor unit continuously outputs a preset pulse signal to the outdoor unit. When there is a control demand, a target signal corresponding to the control demand is inserted into the pulse signal, and the target signal is used to indicate a specific control instruction. At this time, although the pulse signal is still being transmitted, the pulse signal is cut off by the target signal and is not continuous. That is, the signal transmitted by the indoor unit to the outdoor unit can be a continuous preset pulse signal, or a pulse signal with a target signal inserted (i.e. a processed signal).

[0059] In the case of communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the indoor unit can obtain the control demand and send a corresponding signal to the outdoor unit through the added control line. After the outdoor unit identifies the signal, it performs a corresponding operation to complete the load control of the outdoor unit. The indoor unit can determine the control demand based on the received user instruction or based on the actual control situation.

[0060] In this embodiment, a control line is added between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. In the case of communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the indoor unit transmits a specific signal to the outdoor unit through the control line to control the load in the outdoor unit according to the control demand, ensuring the operation of the air conditioner and meeting the user's emergency use demand. This embodiment realizes emergency control in the case of communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner does not need to be shut down, improving the user's experience and solving the problem that the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in the prior art will directly shut down the air conditioner and affect the user's experience.

[0061] The target signal is a low-level signal or a high-level signal, and the duration of the target signal is greater than or equal to the period of the pulse signal, so that the target signal can be easily distinguished from the preset pulse signal, and the outdoor unit can effectively identify the target signal.

[0062] As mentioned above, different control requirements correspond to different target signals, and different target signals can be formed by using different time lengths, for example, the target signal is a low-level signal, the time length of the target signal A is 10 ms, and the time length of the target signal B is 20 ms; or different target signals can be formed by using time length in combination with high and low levels, for example, the target signal C is a low-level signal and has a time length of 10 ms, the target signal D is a high-level signal and has a time length of 10 ms, and the target signal E is a high-level signal and has a time length of 20 ms.

[0063] The target signal corresponding to the control requirement is inserted into the pulse signal, that is, the signal is processed, and the signal processing can be realized by the following mode (1) or mode (2).

[0064] (1) The target signal corresponding to the control requirement is inserted into the pulse signal, including: for the current control requirement, after outputting the pulse signal for a first preset time length, the target signal corresponding to the control requirement is inserted once, and the cycle is repeated until there is a new control requirement, wherein the first preset time length is greater than or equal to the period of the pulse signal; if the control requirement is a shutdown instruction, no target signal is inserted, and the pulse signal is continuously output.

[0065] The first preset time length is greater than or equal to the period of the pulse signal, that is, at least one period of the pulse signal is continuously output when the target signal is inserted, so as to effectively distinguish the target signal from the preset pulse signal. The first preset time length can be set by comprehensively considering the time lengths of all target signals, so as to ensure that all target signals can be obviously distinguished from the preset pulse signal.

[0066] In this mode, as a special case, for the shutdown instruction, no target signal is inserted, which can be understood as inserting a target signal with a time length of 0.

[0067] In this mode, for each control requirement, the target signal corresponding to the control requirement is periodically inserted into the pulse signal, and the processed signal is continuously output to the external machine until there is a new control requirement, and then the signal is continuously output according to the new control requirement. Referring to Figure 2 , T represents the time length of the target signal, and the internal machine 10 continuously outputs the signal to the external machine 20 according to the current control requirement, for example, after outputting the pulse signal for 100 ms, the target signal with the time length T is inserted.

[0068] In this embodiment, for each control requirement, the target signal corresponding to the control requirement is periodically inserted into the pulse signal, and the processed signal is continuously output to the external machine until there is a new control requirement, and then the signal is continuously output according to the new control requirement, and in this way, the external machine can receive the signal and effectively control the load of the external machine.

[0069] (2) inserting a target signal corresponding to the control requirement into the pulse signal, including: for the current control requirement, inserting a target signal corresponding to the control requirement once after outputting a pulse signal for a first preset time length, and repeating the above process until a preset number of times is reached or a second preset time length is reached, and then continuously outputting the pulse signal, wherein the first preset time length is greater than or equal to the period of the pulse signal, and the second preset time length is greater than or equal to the sum of the first preset time length and the time length of the target signal.

[0070] wherein the preset number of times is greater than or equal to 1, and the second preset time length is greater than or equal to the sum of the first preset time length and the time length of the target signal, so as to ensure that the target signal is inserted at least once, and the control instruction is transmitted. The second preset time length can be set for each target signal respectively, or all target signals share one second preset time length. For the latter, the second preset time length needs to be set by comprehensively considering the time lengths of all target signals, determining the maximum time length among the time lengths of all target signals, and setting the second preset time length to be greater than or equal to the sum of the first preset time length and the maximum time length.

[0071] In this mode, for each control requirement, the target signal corresponding to the control requirement is periodically inserted into the pulse signal, and the processed signal is output to the outdoor unit. When a preset number of times is reached or a second preset time length is reached, the output of the processed signal is stopped, and the pulse signal is continuously output to the outdoor unit. For example, for the current control requirement, the indoor unit outputs a pulse signal for 100 ms, and inserts a target signal with a time length of T. When the number of insertions reaches 3 times or the total time length of the output of the processed signal reaches 1 s, the output of the processed signal is stopped, and the preset pulse signal is continuously output.

[0072] In this mode, for each control requirement, the target signal corresponding to the control requirement is periodically inserted into the pulse signal, and the processed signal is output to the outdoor unit. When a preset number of times is reached or a second preset time length is reached, the output of the processed signal is stopped, and the pulse signal is continuously output to the outdoor unit. For example, for the current control requirement, the indoor unit outputs a pulse signal for 100 ms, and inserts a target signal with a time length of T. When the number of insertions reaches 3 times or the total time length of the output of the processed signal reaches 1 s, the output of the processed signal is stopped, and the preset pulse signal is continuously output.

[0073] After detecting the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the method further includes: if the air conditioner is in a shutdown state, continuously outputting the pulse signal to the outdoor unit.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit fails and the air conditioner is in a shutdown state, the indoor unit continuously outputs the pulse signal to the outdoor unit, so as to maintain the control relationship between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and reduce the processing operation of the indoor unit on the signal in the shutdown state of the air conditioner, thereby saving resources. When the indoor unit receives a start-up instruction, the corresponding signal is output to the outdoor unit according to the specific control requirement.

[0075] In one embodiment, after detecting the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the method further comprises:

[0076] If the air conditioner is in the on state, determining the control requirement according to the working mode, the parameter set value and the parameter actual value of the air conditioner, and determining the control requirement when receiving the off instruction;

[0077] If the air conditioner is in the off state, determining the control requirement according to the working mode, the parameter set value and the parameter actual value of the air conditioner when receiving the on instruction.

[0078] The parameter corresponds to the working mode of the air conditioner, and is a target parameter regulated in the working mode of the air conditioner, for example, the parameter regulated in the cooling mode and the heating mode is the indoor temperature, and the parameter regulated in the dehumidification mode is the indoor humidity.

[0079] When the air conditioner is in the on state, changing the working mode or changing the parameter set value by the user or turning off the air conditioner, and the actual deviation between the parameter set value and the parameter actual value changes, the control requirement changes. When the air conditioner is in the off state, if the user turns on the air conditioner, the control requirement changes.

[0080] In the case of communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the indoor unit can determine different control requirements based on the received user instructions or based on the actual regulation, and then transmit specific signals according to the specific control requirements, to realize emergency control in the case of communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.

[0081] Further, determining the control requirement according to the working mode, the parameter set value and the parameter actual value of the air conditioner comprises: calculating the deviation degree of the parameter actual value from the parameter set value in the current working mode; determining the compressor target frequency range as the control requirement according to the current working mode and the deviation degree; wherein the same compressor target frequency range in different working modes is different control requirements. Different control requirements correspond to different control instructions.

[0082] Wherein, different deviation degrees in the same working mode correspond to different compressor target frequency ranges as different control requirements. The same deviation degree in different working modes, even if corresponding to the same compressor target frequency range, is also different control requirements. That is, the target signal contains the indication of the working mode and the compressor target frequency range.

[0083] For the same parameter, the greater the deviation degree, the greater the compressor target frequency range. If the deviation degree is within the preset allowable range, it means that the parameter actual value reaches the parameter set value, and the compressor can be stopped, that is, the compressor target frequency range is 0.

[0084] The embodiment can quickly and effectively determine the control requirement based on the working mode and the deviation degree of the actual value of the parameter and the set value of the parameter, and then can transmit the specific signal according to the specific control requirement, so as to realize the emergency control in the case of the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.

[0085] In the case of the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the outdoor unit continuously receives the signal sent by the indoor unit, and performs real-time identification on the signal, and performs corresponding operation according to the identification result. For example, if the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the outdoor unit receives the signal sent by the indoor unit, identifies the signal indicating the start instruction (including the indication of the working mode and the target frequency range of the compressor), and then controls the four-way valve according to the working mode, and starts the compressor to the target frequency range. If the air conditioner is in the start state, the outdoor unit receives the signal sent by the indoor unit, identifies the target signal, adjusts the frequency of the compressor or controls the four-way valve to switch the working mode according to the target signal, and if the target signal indicates the shutdown instruction, the outdoor unit shuts down the compressor and the four-way valve to complete the shutdown operation.

[0086] In one embodiment, before detecting the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the method further comprises: detecting whether the communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is failed after the air conditioner is powered on; and if the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is not detected, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit perform normal communication according to the original communication mode.

[0087] The air conditioner itself has the function of detecting whether the communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is failed. Specifically, after the air conditioner is powered on, if the indoor unit cannot receive the data sent by the outdoor unit for a continuous period of time, it is considered that the communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is failed.

[0088] The embodiment only transmits the control instruction to the outdoor unit by using the transmission of the specific signal to control the load of the outdoor unit to realize the emergency control in the case of the communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and in the case of the normal communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit perform normal communication according to the original communication mode. Therefore, the emergency measures can be provided on the basis of ensuring the reliability of the communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and the demand of the user for emergency use can be met.

[0089] Embodiment 2

[0090] The embodiment provides a specific implementation of the air conditioner communication failure emergency control method on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment. The same or corresponding terms are explained as in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the embodiment will not be described again. It is worth noting that the specific embodiment is only used to better illustrate the present application and does not constitute an improper limitation on the present application.

[0091] After the air conditioner is powered on, whether the air conditioner is started or not, the indoor unit always detects whether the communication between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is failed.

[0092] If no communication fault is detected between the indoor and outdoor units, the indoor and outdoor units will communicate normally according to the original communication method.

[0093] If a communication failure between the indoor and outdoor units is detected, determine the current status of the air conditioner.

[0094] If the air conditioner is currently off, the outdoor unit load is also off. The indoor unit continuously outputs a preset pulse signal (e.g., a pulse signal with a frequency of 100Hz and a duty cycle of 50%) to the outdoor unit to maintain the control relationship between the indoor and outdoor units. When the indoor unit receives a power-on command, it processes the pulse signal according to specific control requirements and transmits the processed signal to the outdoor unit to achieve outdoor unit load control.

[0095] If the air conditioner is currently on, the indoor unit determines the control requirements based on the air conditioner's operating mode, parameter settings, and actual parameter values. It then inserts the pulse signal using the target signal corresponding to the control requirements and transmits the processed signal to the outdoor unit to achieve outdoor unit load control. When the indoor unit receives a shutdown command, it inserts the pulse signal according to the target signal corresponding to the shutdown command and sends the processed signal to the outdoor unit. As a special case, for the signal processing method (1) described in Embodiment 1, a preset pulse signal is continuously output to the outdoor unit to represent the shutdown command (which can be understood as the duration of the target signal corresponding to the shutdown command being 0).

[0096] Signal processing method (1): For each control requirement, the target signal corresponding to the control requirement is periodically inserted into the pulse signal, and the processed signal is continuously output to the outdoor unit until a new control requirement is met, at which point the signal is continuously output according to the new control requirement. A preset pulse signal is continuously output to the outdoor unit to indicate a shutdown command.

[0097] Signal processing method (2): For each control requirement, the target signal corresponding to the control requirement is periodically inserted into the pulse signal, and the processed signal is output to the outdoor unit. When the preset number of times or the second preset duration is met, the output of the processed signal is stopped, and the pulse signal is continuously output to the outdoor unit.

[0098] like Figure 4 The diagram shown illustrates the emergency control method after an air conditioning communication failure. Figure 1 In this embodiment, taking signal processing method (1) as an example, the preset pulse signal is a pulse signal with a frequency of 100Hz and a duty cycle of 50%, the first preset duration is 100ms, and the target signal is a low-level signal. The process includes the following steps:

[0099] S401, the air conditioning unit is powered on.

[0100] S402, determine whether there is a communication failure between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, if yes, go to S403, if no, go to S421.
