Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home appliance technology, for example to a method and apparatus for updating the temperature control program of home appliances, and home appliances. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, home appliances with temperature control programs (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and water heaters) require the use of numerous temperature sensors with identical parameters. When repairing and maintaining these appliances and needing to replace multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters, it is highly likely that the communication interfaces of the temperature sensors will be incorrectly connected.

[0003] In related technologies, to solve the above problems, temperature sensors are usually labeled or have color-coded protective sleeves. However, both of these solutions rely entirely on manual judgment, which can easily lead to communication interface connection errors and also increase the amount of materials and coding involved in the maintenance and repair of home appliances. Therefore, how to prevent mistaken installation of temperature sensors when replacing multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters in home appliances has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0013] Optionally, the update method also includes: re-executing the temperature control program update step when an alarm for abnormal temperature occurs during operation; and issuing a prompt message indicating that the communication interface of the temperature sensor is installed incorrectly and requires manual adjustment if the number of times the temperature control program update step is executed exceeds a set number.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0034] The home appliance provided in this embodiment is a home appliance with a temperature control program, that is, a home appliance equipped with multiple temperature sensors of the same parameters. This home appliance can be an air conditioner, refrigerator, or water heater, etc.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a refrigerator, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the home appliance 100 includes a device body 110 and an update device 500 (600) for updating the temperature control program of the home appliance.

[0036] Specifically, the device body 110 is equipped with multiple temperature sensors of the same parameters. Figure 1 (As shown in the middle), an update device 500 (600) for updating the temperature control program of a household appliance is provided on the device body 110.

[0037] Optionally, the device 600 for updating the temperature control program of a home appliance includes a processor. After replacing multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters in the home appliance, the processor can control the operation of the home appliance and continuously record multiple detected temperatures of each temperature sensor within a first set operating time. The processor can determine the temperature change of each temperature sensor based on the multiple detected temperatures of each temperature sensor. Based on the temperature change, the processor can update the markings of the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance.

[0038] In conjunction with the aforementioned home appliances, this disclosure provides a method for updating the temperature control program of home appliances, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the update method includes:

[0039] S201: After the processor replaces multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters in the home appliance, it controls the operation of the home appliance.

[0040] Specifically, temperature sensors with the same parameters refer to temperature sensors with identical B-value, R-value, and accuracy. For example, temperature sensors installed in the refrigerator compartment, crisper compartment, and freezer compartment of a refrigerator.

[0041] Specifically, after a technician replaces multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters on a home appliance, they will input an instruction to initiate the temperature control program update process. Therefore, the processor can determine whether the replacement of multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters has been completed by checking if this instruction has been received.

[0042] Optionally, a button is provided on the home appliance to initiate the temperature control program update process. Technicians can use this button to input the command to initiate the temperature control program update process.

[0043] Specifically, after replacing multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters, controlling the operation of home appliances helps determine if each replaced temperature sensor is malfunctioning, thereby identifying whether the communication interface of each temperature sensor is connected incorrectly. Therefore, after replacing multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters, the processor needs to control the operation of the home appliances.

[0044] S202, the processor continuously records multiple detected temperatures from each temperature sensor within a first set time period.

[0045] Specifically, the operating time of home appliances needs to be such that the temperature detected by each temperature sensor reflects the characteristics of its operation. Therefore, the initial set time varies for different home appliances. For example, for air conditioners, the corresponding initial set time is 5 to 10 minutes. For water heaters, the corresponding initial set time is 15 to 20 minutes. For refrigerators, the corresponding initial set time is 25 to 30 minutes.

[0046] S203, the processor determines the temperature change of each temperature sensor based on the multiple detected temperatures of each temperature sensor.

[0047] Specifically, by continuously recording multiple detected temperatures from each temperature sensor within a first set time period, it is possible to analyze whether the detected temperature of each temperature sensor consistently shows an upward trend, consistently shows a downward trend, stabilizes after rising for a period of time, or remains unchanged. Therefore, the processor can determine the temperature change of each temperature sensor based on the multiple detected temperatures of each temperature sensor.

[0048] S204, the processor updates the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance based on the temperature change of each temperature sensor.

[0049] Specifically, based on the temperature changes of each temperature sensor, the specific function of each temperature sensor in the home appliance can be analyzed. Taking a refrigerator as an example, if the temperature sensor detects a temperature drop from room temperature to 3°C to 5°C after the refrigerator starts operating, and maintains this temperature range for an extended period, then it can be determined that the temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the refrigerator's cooling compartment. In this case, if the label of the communication interface currently connected to this temperature sensor differs from the label of the communication interface corresponding to the cooling compartment temperature in the temperature control program, then the label of the communication interface corresponding to the cooling compartment temperature in the temperature control program can be updated to the label of the communication interface currently connected to this temperature sensor. Therefore, the processor can update the label of the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance based on the temperature changes of each temperature sensor.

[0050] In this embodiment, after replacing multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters on a home appliance, the appliance is first controlled to operate, and multiple detected temperatures from each temperature sensor are continuously recorded within a first set time period. Then, based on the multiple detected temperatures of each temperature sensor, the temperature change of each temperature sensor within the first set time period is confirmed. Finally, based on the temperature change, the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor is marked and updated in the home appliance's temperature control program. In this way, even if the communication interface of a temperature sensor is connected incorrectly when replacing the sensor, the home appliance can automatically resolve the problem by updating its temperature control program. Therefore, this embodiment can solve the problem of foolproof installation of temperature sensors.

[0051] This disclosure provides another method for updating the temperature control program of home appliances, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the update method includes:

[0052] S301: After the processor replaces multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters in the home appliance, it controls the operation of the home appliance.

[0053] S302, the processor continuously records multiple detected temperatures from each temperature sensor within a first set time period.

[0054] S303, the processor determines the temperature change of each temperature sensor based on multiple detected temperatures of each temperature sensor.

[0055] S304 The processor determines the actual function of each temperature sensor and the actual temperature measurement point based on the temperature change of each temperature sensor.

[0056] Specifically, based on the temperature changes of each temperature sensor, the location and function of each sensor within the appliance can be analyzed. For example, in a refrigerator, if the temperature sensor detects a temperature drop from room temperature to -15°C to -18°C after the refrigerator starts operating and maintains this temperature range for an extended period, then the sensor is located in the freezer compartment and its function is to detect the freezer temperature. Similarly, in a water heater, if the temperature sensor detects a temperature rise to 50°C to 65°C after the water heater starts operating and maintains this temperature range for an extended period, then the sensor is located in the inner tank of the water heater and its function is to detect the temperature of the water stored inside. Therefore, the processor can determine the actual function and location of each temperature sensor based on its temperature changes.

[0057] Optionally, based on the temperature change of each temperature sensor, the actual function of each temperature sensor and the actual temperature measurement point it is located at are determined, including: determining a first correspondence between the temperature change and the function and temperature measurement point of the temperature sensor based on the equipment information of the home appliance; and determining the actual function and actual temperature measurement point corresponding to the current temperature sensor's temperature change based on the first correspondence.

[0058] Specifically, the first correspondence is a pre-constructed correspondence based on the operating characteristics of different temperature sensors in home appliances. It is understandable that different home appliances will have different first correspondences.

[0059] For example, taking a refrigerator as an example, some of the first correspondences are shown in Table 1 below:

[0060] Table 1

[0061]

[0062] For example, taking an air conditioner as an example, some of the first correspondences are shown in Table 2 below:

[0063] Table 2

[0064]

[0065] S305: The processor updates the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance based on the actual function of each temperature sensor and the actual temperature measurement point it is located.

[0066] Specifically, based on the actual function of each temperature sensor and its actual temperature measurement point, the original communication interface marker of the temperature sensor in the temperature control program can be determined. If the marker of the communication interface currently connected to the temperature sensor differs from that in the original temperature control program, the original marker in the temperature control program can be updated to match the marker of the currently connected communication interface, allowing the temperature control program of the home appliance to function normally. Therefore, the processor can update the marker of the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance based on the actual function of each temperature sensor and its actual temperature measurement point.

[0067] Optionally, the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor is marked and updated in the temperature control program of the home appliance, including: determining the first mark of the communication interface currently connected to the current temperature sensor; determining the second mark of the communication interface of the current temperature sensor in the temperature control program based on the actual temperature measurement point and actual function; and updating the second mark to the first mark in the temperature control program.

[0068] Specifically, in the temperature control program, by updating the second flag to the first flag, even if the communication interface of the temperature sensor is connected incorrectly when the temperature sensor is replaced, the temperature control program of the home appliance can still operate normally.

[0069] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when updating the marking of the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance, the actual function and actual temperature measurement point of each temperature sensor are first determined based on the temperature change of each temperature sensor. Then, based on the actual function and actual temperature measurement point of each temperature sensor, the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program is marked and updated. This helps to improve the accuracy of the temperature control program update.

[0070] In some embodiments, controlling the operation of home appliances includes: determining a target test program corresponding to the device information of the home appliances according to a pre-set second correspondence; and controlling the operation of the home appliances according to the target test program.

[0071] It is understandable that when confirming temperature changes from temperature sensors, different home appliances require different operating modes. For example, a refrigerator needs to be controlled to operate in cooling mode, while a water heater needs to be controlled to operate in boiling mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, corresponding test procedures are set up for each type of home appliance.

[0072] Specifically, before controlling the operation of home appliances, a target test program corresponding to the equipment information of the home appliances is determined based on a pre-set second correspondence relationship. Then, the operation of the home appliances is controlled according to the target test program, which helps to improve the accuracy of the temperature change of each temperature sensor determined subsequently.

[0073] This disclosure provides another method for updating the temperature control program of home appliances, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the update method includes:

[0074] S401: After the processor replaces multiple temperature sensors with the same parameters in the home appliance, it controls the operation of the home appliance.

[0075] S402, the processor continuously records multiple detected temperatures from each temperature sensor within a first set time period.

[0076] S403, the processor determines the temperature change of each temperature sensor based on multiple detected temperatures of each temperature sensor.

[0077] S404: Based on the temperature changes of each temperature sensor, the processor updates the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance.

[0078] S405, the processor determines the target verification program corresponding to the device information of the home appliance.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment of the disclosure, for different home appliances, not only are corresponding test programs set up, but also verification programs are set up to verify whether the update is accurate after the temperature control program is updated. Therefore, after the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor is marked and updated in the temperature control program of the home appliance, the processor needs to determine the target verification program corresponding to the device information of the home appliance.

[0080] Specifically, the target verification procedure is a program that controls home appliances to operate using all the temperature sensors on the appliances.

[0081] Specifically, a third correspondence is pre-set, and the processor can determine the target verification program corresponding to the device information of the home appliance based on this correspondence.

[0082] S406, the processor controls the home appliance to run for a second set duration according to the target verification procedure.

[0083] S407: If no abnormal temperature alarm occurs in the home appliance during operation, the processor confirms that the temperature control program of the home appliance is updated correctly.

[0084] Specifically, if no abnormal temperature alarm occurs during the operation of the controlled home appliance according to the target verification procedure within the second set time period, it indicates that the markings of the communication interfaces corresponding to each temperature sensor are correct in the updated temperature control program. Therefore, in this case, it can be determined that the temperature control program of the home appliance has been updated correctly.

[0085] Optionally, the update method also includes: re-executing the temperature control program update step when an alarm for abnormal temperature occurs during operation; and issuing a prompt message indicating that the communication interface of the temperature sensor is installed incorrectly and requires manual adjustment if the number of times the temperature control program update step is executed exceeds a set number.

[0086] Specifically, if, within the second set time period, an alarm indicating an abnormal temperature occurs while the controlled home appliance is operating according to the target verification procedure, it indicates that the communication interface marking for the temperature sensor in the updated temperature control program is incorrect. Therefore, in this case, it can be determined that the temperature control program update for the home appliance is faulty, and the update procedure needs to be repeated.

[0087] Specifically, if the number of times the temperature control program update step is performed exceeds the set number, it indicates that updating the temperature control program cannot resolve the communication interface connection error of the temperature sensor. Therefore, a prompt message indicating that the temperature sensor's communication interface is installed incorrectly and requires manual adjustment should be issued.

[0088] In this embodiment, after updating the marking of the communication interface connected to each temperature sensor in the temperature control program of the home appliance, the home appliance is also controlled to run according to the target verification program corresponding to its device information to verify whether the update of the temperature control program is correct. In this way, if an update error occurs, it can be dealt with in a timely manner, ensuring the reliability of the subsequent operation of the home appliance.
