Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] In the following description, when referring to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0026] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0027] The following will provide a detailed description of each example. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0028] In the field of air conditioning equipment technology, embedded components similar to refrigerant leak detection devices are widely installed and used in air conditioning equipment to improve its performance and meet diverse needs. Please see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of an air conditioning device provided in an embodiment of this application. The air conditioning device 100 mainly includes two parts: an indoor unit 110 and an outdoor unit 120. The indoor unit 110 is responsible for the circulation and regulation of indoor air and is typically installed on an indoor wall, including an indoor unit control board 111. The outdoor unit 120 is installed outdoors and is responsible for the core functions of cooling or heating, such as compression and condensation. It has an integrated outdoor unit control board 121 to coordinate the operation of the outdoor unit 120. The indoor unit control board 111 and the outdoor unit control board 121 need to work together. During the daily operation, maintenance, or system upgrade of the air conditioning device 100, these two control boards may need to be replaced or adjusted.

[0029] The embedded component includes a separate hardware component and a software component running on the indoor unit control board 111 and / or the outdoor unit control board 121. Therefore, the embedded component is a component that operates based on the indoor unit control board 111 and the outdoor unit control board 121. However, once the indoor unit control board 111 and / or the outdoor unit control board 121 is replaced or adjusted, the embedded component may experience compatibility issues because it cannot adapt to the new indoor unit control board 111 and / or the outdoor unit control board 121. This may manifest as component malfunction, performance degradation, or communication failure with other system components, thereby leading to unstable operation of the entire air conditioning unit 100.

[0030] based on Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an air conditioning unit will be provided below. Figure 2 - Figure 7 The control method for the air conditioning equipment provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for an air conditioning device provided in an embodiment of this application. The air conditioning device includes an indoor unit control board and an outdoor unit control board. Figure 2 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S101-S103.

[0032] S101, Obtain the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment, wherein the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment includes the identification information of the indoor unit control board and the identification information of the outdoor unit control board.

[0033] Specifically, the identification information involved in this embodiment refers to the information used to uniquely identify the identity of each control board in the air conditioning equipment. The identification information is the basis for the system to perform subsequent matching and control operations.

[0034] The identification information of the indoor unit control board refers to the information used to uniquely identify the indoor unit control board, including but not limited to the indoor unit control board's model, version number, production date, manufacturer information, and specific hardware or software configuration.

[0035] The identification information of the outdoor unit control board refers to the information used to uniquely identify the outdoor unit control board. Similar to the identification information of the indoor unit control board, the identification information of the outdoor unit control board includes, but is not limited to, the model number, version number, production date, manufacturer information, and specific hardware or software configuration.

[0036] The control panel combination identification information of an air conditioning unit refers to the information that combines the identification information of the indoor unit control panel and the outdoor unit control panel of the air conditioning unit to form a unique identifier for the combination of the indoor and outdoor unit control panels in the current air conditioning unit. It can be understood that the control panel combination identification information of an air conditioning unit not only includes the identification characteristics of individual control panels, but also reflects the combination relationship between them, serving as an important basis for subsequent matching and decision-making.

[0037] The process of obtaining the control board combination identification information of an air conditioning unit involves first acquiring the identification information of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board, for example, by reading the storage chips or communication interfaces on the indoor and outdoor unit control boards respectively. Then, based on the identification information of the indoor and outdoor unit control boards, the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning unit is determined through a preset algorithm or logical operation.

[0038] For example, in one possible implementation, a pre-defined communication protocol can be used to send identification information query commands to the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment, respectively. These commands request the return of their respective identification information. After receiving the identification information from the indoor and outdoor unit control boards, the data is integrated and processed to ultimately generate combined identification information for the air conditioning equipment's control boards.

[0039] S102, match the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment with the data records in the preset valid reference database to obtain the matching result.

[0040] Specifically, the valid reference database involved in this embodiment is pre-set. The valid reference database includes multiple data records. Any data record in the valid reference database corresponds to a valid control board combination or an air conditioning product containing a valid control board combination, and includes a control board combination identification information.

[0041] For example, in some possible implementations, the effective reference database includes a control board database, where any data record in the control board database corresponds to a specific control board combination. In some possible implementations, the effective reference database includes an air conditioning product database, where any data record in the air conditioning product database corresponds to a specific air conditioning product. In some possible implementations, the effective reference database includes a comprehensive database obtained by fusing data from the control board database and the air conditioning product database, where some data records in the comprehensive database correspond to specific air conditioning products and their included control board combinations, while other data records correspond to specific control board combinations.

[0042] It should be noted that the above-mentioned control panel combination refers to the indoor unit control panel and the outdoor unit control panel.

[0043] The control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment is matched with the data records in the valid reference database. Specifically, the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment is compared with the control board combination identification information of each data record in the valid reference database.

[0044] If the control panel combination identifier information of some data records matches the control panel combination identifier information of the air conditioning equipment, then a successful match can be confirmed. Since the data records correspond to valid control panel combinations, this situation means that the control panel combination of the air conditioning equipment is valid.

[0045] If no data record contains control panel combination identification information that matches the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment, then the matching has failed. Since the data record corresponds to a valid control panel combination, this situation means that the control panel combination of the air conditioning equipment is invalid.

[0046] Based on the above process, it can be seen that after the matching is completed, the matching result can be obtained, which indicates whether the matching was successful or failed.

[0047] S103, Based on the matching result, execute the task flow information corresponding to the target embedded component, wherein the target embedded component is a component that runs based on the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board.

[0048] Specifically, the task flow information corresponding to the target embedded component involved in this embodiment is a set of a series of steps performed by the air conditioning device regarding the target embedded component.

[0049] If the matching result indicates a failure, the task flow information corresponding to the target embedded component is executed. Specifically, this can be manifested as outputting relevant prompts to indicate that the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board is faulty (or invalid).

[0050] If the matching result indicates a successful match, the task flow information corresponding to the target embedded component is executed. Specifically, this could manifest as running the target embedded component. Alternatively, it could manifest as determining whether the air conditioning device is compatible with the target embedded component; if compatible, the target embedded component is run; otherwise, it is not run and a relevant prompt message is output. Alternatively, it could manifest as determining whether a communication event exists between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component; if a communication event exists and the air conditioning device needs to install and run the target embedded component, then the target embedded component is run; if a communication event exists but the air conditioning device does not need to install and run the target embedded component, then the target embedded component is not run and a relevant prompt message is output; if no communication event exists between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, a relevant prompt message is output.

[0051] For a better understanding of this embodiment, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is an example diagram illustrating database matching provided in an embodiment of this application. The identification information for the indoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment is "A", the identification information for the outdoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment is "C", and the identification information for the combined control board of the air conditioning equipment is "AC".

[0052] The valid reference database contains n data records, each corresponding to a sequence number from 1 to n. The control panel combination identifier for data record number 1 is "AB", the control panel combination identifier for data record number 2 is "AC", the control panel combination identifier for data record number 3 is "DE", ..., and the control panel combination identifier for data record number n is "RS".

[0053] By comparing the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment with "AC" and each data record in the valid reference database, it can be confirmed that the data record with serial number 2 is the data record corresponding to the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment. The final matching result indicates that the match is successful.

[0054] It should be noted that, in Figure 3 The additional information included in each data record in the valid reference database is not a single field, but can be subdivided into multiple fields. For example, the additional information can be subdivided into air conditioner product information fields, compatibility information fields for the target embedded component, and installation and operation information fields for the target embedded component. The installation and operation information field for the target embedded component can further include installation and operation information fields for the target embedded component on the control board and installation and operation information fields for the target embedded component on the air conditioner product.

[0055] In this embodiment, the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment is first obtained, including the identification information of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board. Then, the control board combination identification information is matched with data records in a valid reference database to obtain a matching result. Finally, the task flow information corresponding to the target embedded component is executed based on the matching result. Thus, the matching process based on the valid reference database realizes the validity judgment of the indoor unit control board and outdoor unit control board combination. Based on this, the task flow information corresponding to the target embedded component can be executed according to the matching result, allowing the application of the target embedded component in the air conditioning equipment to adapt to changes in the control board and improving the operational stability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0056] Please see Figure 4 This application provides a flowchart illustrating the execution of task flow information, as shown in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S201-S202, and steps S201-S202 may be used as a method for... Figure 2 A refinement of step S103 in the illustrated embodiment.

[0057] S201, if the matching result indicates that the matching has failed, output the first prompt message, wherein the first prompt message is used to indicate that there is a fault in the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board;

[0058] S202, if the matching result indicates a successful match, execute the first subtask process information corresponding to the target embedded component.

[0059] Specifically, if the matching result indicates a matching failure, it means that there is no corresponding data record in the valid reference database for the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment. In this case, it can be determined that the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment is faulty (or invalid). If the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board are continued to be used in this situation, it may lead to abnormal operation of the air conditioning equipment.

[0060] Therefore, the air conditioning unit will output a first warning message to indicate a malfunction in the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board. The method of outputting this first warning message can be varied, such as displaying it on the air conditioning unit's display panel, broadcasting it via the air conditioning unit's audio component, or sending it to the user's smart device via the air conditioning unit's communication component; there are no restrictions on this.

[0061] The first error message may contain text, such as "The indoor unit control board and outdoor unit control board combination is invalid. Please check and replace the control board." Alternatively, the first error message may contain a fault code, such as "E012," which users or maintenance personnel can consult a fault code table to understand the specific cause of the fault and the solution. It should be noted that the above examples do not constitute a limitation on the content contained in the first error message.

[0062] If the matching result indicates a successful match, it means that the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment has a corresponding data record in the valid reference database. Therefore, it can be determined that the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment is fault-free (or effective). In this case, the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board can work together.

[0063] Furthermore, the air conditioning device can execute the first subtask process information corresponding to the target embedded component. This first subtask process information is a set of steps executed by the air conditioning device regarding the target embedded component.

[0064] The execution process information for the first subtask corresponding to the target embedded component can be manifested as running the target embedded component. Alternatively, it can be manifested as determining whether the air conditioning device is compatible with the target embedded component; if compatible, the target embedded component is run; if incompatible, it is not run and a relevant prompt message is output. Alternatively, it can be manifested as determining whether a communication event exists between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component; if a communication event exists and the air conditioning device needs to install and run the target embedded component, then the target embedded component is run; if a communication event exists but the air conditioning device does not need to install and run the target embedded component, then the target embedded component is not run and a relevant prompt message is output; if no communication event exists between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, then a relevant prompt message is output.

[0065] In this embodiment, when matching fails, a first prompt message is output to notify the user or maintenance personnel that the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board is faulty, facilitating timely inspection and replacement. This effectively avoids performance degradation or safety hazards in the air conditioning equipment caused by an invalid control board combination. When matching succeeds, it can be confirmed that the combination of the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board supports the target embedded component. By executing the first sub-task process information corresponding to the target embedded component, the compatibility and efficient collaboration between the air conditioning equipment and the target embedded component can be ensured. This not only enables the intelligentization and functional expansion of the air conditioning equipment but also improves the operational stability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0066] Please see Figure 5This application provides a flowchart illustrating the execution of the first subtask process information, as shown in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the method in this embodiment may include the following steps S301-S303, and steps S301-S303 may be used as a method for... Figure 4 The embodiment shown is a refinement of step S202, "Execute the first subtask process information corresponding to the target embedded component".

[0067] S301, determine the data record corresponding to the control panel assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment from the valid reference database;

[0068] S302, when the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the air conditioning equipment is incompatible with the target embedded component, a second prompt message is output, wherein the second prompt message is used to prompt that the air conditioning equipment is incompatible with the target embedded component;

[0069] S303, if the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the air conditioning equipment is compatible with the target embedded component, the target embedded component shall be run.

[0070] Specifically, if the matching result indicates a successful match, the data record corresponding to the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment is determined by effectively referring to the database. Figure 3 For example, the data record with serial number 2 corresponding to the control panel combination identification information "AC" of the air conditioning equipment is determined from the valid reference database.

[0071] A valid reference database record may include multiple fields, one of which is a control panel assembly identification information field, and another is a compatibility information field for the target embedded component. The information recorded in the compatibility information field for the target embedded component is used to indicate whether the air conditioning device is compatible with the target embedded component; for example, a Boolean value of "true" indicates that the air conditioning device is compatible with the target embedded component, and a Boolean value of "false" indicates that the air conditioning device is not compatible with the target embedded component.

[0072] If the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioner indicates that the air conditioner is incompatible with the target embedded component, then the air conditioner will be controlled to output a second prompt message to indicate that it is incompatible with the target embedded component. The method of outputting the second prompt message can be varied, such as displaying the second prompt message through the air conditioner's display component, broadcasting the second prompt message through the air conditioner's audio component, or sending the second prompt message to the user's smart device through the air conditioner's communication component; there are no restrictions on this.

[0073] The second prompt message may include corresponding text content, such as "Air conditioning equipment is incompatible with the target embedded component"; or, the second prompt message may include corresponding fault codes, such as "E013," which users or maintenance personnel can consult a fault code table to understand the specific cause of the fault and the solution. It should be noted that the above examples do not constitute a limitation on the content contained in the second prompt message.

[0074] If the compatibility information field for the target embedded component in the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the air conditioning equipment is compatible with the target embedded component, then the air conditioning equipment will be controlled to run the target embedded component.

[0075] Regarding the specific process of running the target embedded component, in some possible implementations, the air conditioning device loads the relevant programs or code of the target embedded component into its control system. Subsequently, the air conditioning device checks whether the resources required by the target embedded component are sufficient, including but not limited to memory space, processor resources, and specific hardware interfaces, to ensure the component can run smoothly. When the resource check passes, the air conditioning device initializes the target embedded component, configures its operating environment, including setting necessary parameters and variables, and establishing data communication links with other modules in the air conditioning device. Then, it triggers the startup command of the target embedded component, causing it to begin executing preset functions or tasks. During the operation of the target embedded component, the air conditioning device can also continuously monitor its operating status and perform error handling or performance optimization as necessary.

[0076] In this embodiment, by determining the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment from a valid reference database and checking the compatibility information field for the target embedded component, it is possible to accurately determine whether the air conditioning equipment is compatible with the target embedded component. In case of incompatibility, a second prompt message is promptly output, allowing users or maintenance personnel to quickly understand the incompatibility and take appropriate measures, thus avoiding component malfunctions or performance degradation of the air conditioning equipment due to incompatibility. When compatible, by running the target embedded component, the functionality and intelligence of the air conditioning equipment are expanded, and the stability of its operation is improved.

[0077] In one embodiment, based on Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment may further refine step S302 by including the following steps:

[0078] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board are incompatible with the target embedded components, or indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning equipment is incompatible with the target embedded components, the second prompt information will be output.

[0079] Further refinement of step S303 may include the following steps:

[0080] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board are compatible with the target embedded component, and indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning equipment is compatible with the target embedded component, then the target embedded component is run.

[0081] Specifically, whether the air conditioning equipment in this embodiment is compatible with the target embedded components is determined by the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment and the corresponding air conditioning product. The control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment refers to the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board of the air conditioning equipment.

[0082] The compatibility information field for the target embedded component may include compatibility information fields for the control board assembly and the target embedded component, and compatibility information fields for the air conditioning product and the target embedded component.

[0083] The information recorded in the compatibility information field for the control board assembly and the target embedded component is used to indicate whether the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment is compatible with the target embedded component. For example, a Boolean value of "true" indicates that the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment is compatible with the target embedded component, and a Boolean value of "false" indicates that the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment is not compatible with the target embedded component.

[0084] The information recorded in the compatibility information field for air conditioning products and target embedded components is used to indicate whether the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning device is compatible with the target embedded component. For example, a Boolean value of "true" indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning device is compatible with the target embedded component, and a Boolean value of "false" indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning device is not compatible with the target embedded component.

[0085] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board are incompatible with the target embedded components, or indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning equipment is incompatible with the target embedded components, the air conditioning equipment will output a second prompt message. For details on the process of outputting the second prompt message, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The embodiments shown are not described in detail here.

[0086] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and outdoor unit control board are compatible with the target embedded component, and also indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning equipment is compatible with the target embedded component, then the target embedded component will be run. For details on the process of running the target embedded component, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The embodiments shown are not described in detail here.

[0087] This embodiment achieves a comprehensive assessment of the compatibility of air conditioning equipment with target embedded components, encompassing compatibility considerations at both the control board assembly and the air conditioning product level. This dual-layer assessment mechanism more accurately identifies the compatibility between the air conditioning equipment and the target embedded components, thereby avoiding functional abnormalities or performance degradation due to compatibility issues. Simultaneously, by clearly distinguishing the compatibility information fields for the control board assembly and the air conditioning product, the clarity and accuracy of data recording are improved, facilitating subsequent queries and management. Upon detecting incompatibility, a second prompt message is promptly output, helping users or maintenance personnel quickly locate the problem and take appropriate measures. Once compatibility is confirmed and the target embedded components operate smoothly, their extended functions can be fully utilized, enhancing the intelligence level and operational stability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0088] Please see Figure 6 This application provides a flowchart illustrating the execution of the first subtask process information, as shown in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S401-S403.

[0089] S401, Obtain the communication identification result between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component;

[0090] S402, if the communication identification result indicates that there is a communication event between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, execute the second sub-task process information corresponding to the target embedded component;

[0091] S403, if the communication identification result indicates that there is no communication event between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, execute the third sub-task process information corresponding to the target embedded component.

[0092] Specifically, the second and third subtask process information corresponding to the target embedded component involved in this embodiment are both a collection of a series of steps executed by the air conditioning device regarding the target embedded component.

[0093] The target embedded component, as an external component of the air conditioning unit, may be installed in the air conditioning unit at the time of manufacture, added after the unit's manufacture, or not installed at all. If the target embedded component is installed in the air conditioning unit, a communication event should occur between the air conditioning unit and the target embedded component after the unit is powered on. This communication event refers to data transmission or interaction between the air conditioning unit and the target embedded component. This communication can be conducted via wired or wireless means, including but not limited to serial communication, network communication, or other forms of interface communication. The existence of a communication event indicates that the target embedded component has been correctly connected to the air conditioning unit and that data transmission between them is normal.

[0094] Therefore, to determine whether the target embedded component is installed in the air conditioning unit, it is necessary to obtain the communication identification result between the air conditioning unit and the target embedded component. Specifically, the process involves the air conditioning unit attempting to establish a communication connection with the target embedded component through its communication interface during startup or at a specific time. During this process, the air conditioning unit sends specific query commands or signals to the target embedded component and waits for its response. If the target embedded component exists and is functioning normally, it will respond to these commands or signals. Accordingly, the air conditioning unit determines the communication identification result based on whether it receives the expected response. If a response is received, the communication identification result indicates that a communication event exists; if no response is received, the communication identification result indicates that a communication event does not exist.

[0095] In one scenario, if the communication identification result indicates the existence of a communication event between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, it means the target embedded component is installed in the air conditioning device. In this case, the second sub-task process information corresponding to the target embedded component can be executed. Specifically, the process of executing the second sub-task process information corresponding to the target embedded component involves: determining whether the air conditioning device needs to install and run the target embedded component. If it does, then the target embedded component is run; otherwise, relevant prompt information is output.

[0096] In one scenario, if the communication identification result indicates that there is no communication event between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, it means that the target embedded component is not installed on the air conditioning device. In this case, the third sub-task process information corresponding to the target embedded component can be executed. The process of executing the third sub-task process information corresponding to the target embedded component is specifically manifested as: determining whether the air conditioning device needs to install and run the target embedded component, and outputting relevant prompt information based on the determination result.

[0097] In this embodiment, by acquiring the communication identification result and executing the second or third sub-task process information according to whether the indicated communication event exists, flexible handling of the installation status of the target embedded component is achieved. When the communication identification result indicates the existence of a communication event, executing the second sub-task process information ensures the correct installation and operation of the target embedded component on the air conditioning equipment, thereby leveraging its extended functions and improving the intelligence level of the air conditioning equipment. Conversely, when the communication identification result indicates the absence of a communication event, executing the third sub-task process information promptly notifies the user or maintenance personnel that the target embedded component is not installed, facilitating appropriate measures for installation or troubleshooting. This task process execution mechanism based on communication identification results not only enhances the intelligent management of the air conditioning equipment but also provides users with a more stable, reliable, and intelligent air conditioning experience.

[0098] In one embodiment, based on Figure 6 The illustrated embodiment further refines the "execution of the second subtask process information corresponding to the target embedded component" in step S402, which may include the following steps:

[0099] Determine the data records corresponding to the control panel assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment from the valid reference database;

[0100] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board do not need to install and operate the target embedded component, a third prompt message is output, wherein the third prompt message is used to indicate that the target embedded component does not need to be installed and operated.

[0101] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board need to install and run the target embedded component, then run the target embedded component.

[0102] Specifically, if the communication identification result indicates the existence of a communication event between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, it means that the target embedded component is installed in the air conditioning device. The air conditioning device will then further determine the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioning device from the valid reference database. Figure 3 For example, the data record with serial number 2 corresponding to the control panel combination identification information "AC" of the air conditioning equipment is determined from the valid reference database.

[0103] A valid reference database record may include multiple fields, one of which is a control board assembly identification information field, and another is an installation and operation information field for the target embedded component on the control board. The installation and operation information field for the target embedded component on the control board indicates whether the air conditioning equipment's control board assembly needs to install and operate the target embedded component. For example, a Boolean value of "true" indicates that the air conditioning equipment's control board assembly needs to install and operate the target embedded component, while a Boolean value of "false" indicates that the air conditioning equipment's control board assembly does not need to install and operate the target embedded component.

[0104] If the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates in the installation and operation information field of the target embedded component on the control board that the indoor unit control board and outdoor unit control board (control board assembly) do not require the installation and operation of the target embedded component, then the air conditioning equipment can be controlled to output a third prompt message to indicate that the target embedded component does not need to be installed and operated. The method of outputting the third prompt message can be varied, such as displaying the third prompt message through the air conditioning equipment's display component, broadcasting the third prompt message through the air conditioning equipment's audio component, or sending the third prompt message to the user's smart device through the air conditioning equipment's communication component, etc., without limitation. The third prompt message can include corresponding text content, fault codes, etc., without limitation.

[0105] If the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates in the installation and operation information field of the target embedded component on the control board that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board (control board assembly) need to install and operate the target embedded component, then the air conditioning equipment can be controlled to operate the target embedded component. For details on the process of operating the target embedded component, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 The illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0106] In this embodiment, after confirming that the target embedded component has been installed in the air conditioning equipment, the system intelligently determines whether to install and run the target embedded component by querying data records in the valid reference database and based on the indications in the installation and operation information field of the target embedded component on the control board. If installation and operation are not required, a third prompt message is output promptly, avoiding unnecessary operations and resource waste. If installation and operation are required, the target embedded component can be run, leveraging its extended functions and enhancing the intelligence level of the air conditioning equipment. This data-based intelligent decision-making mechanism not only improves the management efficiency of the air conditioning equipment but also enhances its operational stability.

[0107] In one embodiment, based on Figure 6 The illustrated embodiment further refines the "execution target embedded component corresponding to the third subtask process information" in step S403, which may include the following steps:

[0108] Determine the data records corresponding to the control panel assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment from the valid reference database;

[0109] When the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board need to install and operate the target embedded component, the fourth prompt information is output. The fourth prompt information is used to prompt that the target embedded component needs to be installed and operated.

[0110] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board do not need to install and operate the target embedded component, and the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning equipment needs to install and operate the target embedded component, the fifth prompt information is output. The fifth prompt information is used to prompt that the target embedded component needs to be installed and operated.

[0111] If the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board do not need to install and operate the target embedded component, and the data record corresponding to the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates that the air conditioning product corresponding to the air conditioning equipment does not need to install and operate the target embedded component, the sixth prompt information is output. The sixth prompt information is used to indicate that the target embedded component does not need to be installed and operated.

[0112] Specifically, if the communication identification result indicates that there is no communication event between the air conditioning device and the target embedded component, it means that the target embedded component is not installed in the air conditioning device. The air conditioning device will then further determine the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioning device from the valid reference database. Figure 3 For example, the data record with serial number 2 corresponding to the control panel combination identification information "AC" of the air conditioning equipment is determined from the valid reference database.

[0113] A valid reference database record may include multiple fields, one of which is a control board assembly identification information field, another is an installation and operation information field for the target embedded component on the control board, and yet another is an installation and operation information field for the target embedded component on the air conditioning product. The installation and operation information field for the target embedded component on the control board indicates whether the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment requires the target embedded component to be installed and operated. For example, a Boolean value of "true" indicates that the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment requires the target embedded component to be installed and operated, while a Boolean value of "false" indicates that the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment does not require the target embedded component to be installed and operated. Similarly, the installation and operation information field for the target embedded component on the air conditioning product indicates whether the corresponding air conditioning product requires the target embedded component to be installed and operated. For example, a Boolean value of "true" indicates that the corresponding air conditioning product requires the target embedded component to be installed and operated, while a Boolean value of "false" indicates that the corresponding air conditioning product does not require the target embedded component to be installed and operated.

[0114] If the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates in the installation and operation information field of the target embedded component on the control board that the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board (control board assembly) need to install and operate the target embedded component, then the air conditioning equipment can be controlled to output a fourth prompt message to indicate that the target embedded component needs to be installed and operated. For example, the fourth prompt message may include the text "The current device needs to install and operate the target embedded component".

[0115] If the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates in the installation and operation information field of the control board that the indoor unit control board and outdoor unit control board (control board assembly) do not require the installation and operation of the target embedded component, but the installation and operation information field of the air conditioning product indicates that the corresponding air conditioning product requires the installation and operation of the target embedded component, then the air conditioning equipment can be controlled to output a fifth prompt message to remind users that the target embedded component needs to be installed and operated. For example, the fifth prompt message may include the text "The current device requires the installation and operation of the target embedded component".

[0116] If the data record corresponding to the control board assembly identification information of the air conditioning equipment indicates in the installation and operation information field of the control board that the indoor unit control board and outdoor unit control board (control board assembly) do not require the installation and operation of the target embedded component, and the installation and operation information field of the air conditioning product indicates that the corresponding air conditioning product does not require the installation and operation of the target embedded component, then the air conditioning equipment can be controlled to output a sixth prompt message to indicate that the target embedded component does not need to be installed and operated. For example, the sixth prompt message may include the text "The current device does not require the installation and operation of the target embedded component".

[0117] The methods for outputting the fourth / fifth / sixth prompt messages can be varied. For example, the fourth / fifth / sixth prompt messages can be displayed on the air conditioner's display unit, broadcast via the air conditioner's audio unit, or sent to the user's smart device via the air conditioner's communication unit. There are no limitations on these methods. The fourth / fifth / sixth prompt messages can include corresponding text content, fault codes, and other information; there are no restrictions on this as well.

[0118] In this embodiment, when the communication identification result indicates that no communication event exists, the system intelligently outputs a fourth / fifth / sixth prompt message by querying a valid reference database and comprehensively considering the installation requirements of the target embedded component at both the control board assembly and air conditioning product levels. This prompt message guides the user or maintenance personnel to perform the corresponding operations. Users can quickly understand the installation requirements of the air conditioning equipment for the target embedded component based on the prompt message, thus making reasonable decisions. Simultaneously, this data-based intelligent prompt mechanism also reduces the risk of incorrect installation and operation due to improper operation or missing information.

[0119] Please see Figure 7 This application provides a schematic diagram of a database matching process, wherein the effective reference databases include a control board database and an air conditioning product database. Figure 7 As shown, the method in this application embodiment may include the following steps S501-S503.

[0120] S501, Match the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment with the data records in the preset control board database to obtain the first matching result;

[0121] S502, Match the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment with the data records in the preset air conditioning product database to obtain a second matching result;

[0122] S503, based on the first matching result and the second matching result, determine the matching result.

[0123] Specifically, the effective reference database involved in this embodiment includes a control board database and an air conditioning product database. Each data record in the control board database corresponds to a valid control board combination, and each data record in the air conditioning product database corresponds to a valid air conditioning product containing a control board combination.

[0124] On one hand, the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment can be matched with data records in a preset control board database. Specifically, the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment is compared with the control board combination identification information of each data record in the control board database. If the control board combination identification information of some data records matches the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment, then the match is considered successful. Since the data records in the control board database correspond to valid control board combinations, this means that the control board combination of the air conditioning equipment is valid. If no data record matches the control board combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment, then the match is considered unsuccessful. Since the data records in the control board database correspond to valid control board combinations, this means that the control board combination of the air conditioning equipment is invalid. Based on the above process, a first matching result can be obtained after the matching is completed, indicating whether the matching was successful or unsuccessful.

[0125] On the other hand, the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment can be matched with data records in a preset air conditioning product database. Specifically, the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment is compared with the control panel combination identification information of each data record in the air conditioning product database. If the control panel combination identification information of some data records in the air conditioning product database matches the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment, then the match is considered successful. Since the data records in the air conditioning product database correspond to valid air conditioning products, this means that the air conditioning equipment corresponds to a valid air conditioning product. If the control panel combination identification information of no data record in the air conditioning product database matches the control panel combination identification information of the air conditioning equipment, then the match is considered unsuccessful. Since the data records in the air conditioning product database correspond to valid air conditioning products, this means that the air conditioning equipment corresponds to an invalid air conditioning product. Based on the above process, a second matching result can be obtained after the matching is completed, indicating whether the matching was successful or unsuccessful.

[0126] Furthermore, based on the first and second matching results, a matching result is determined. Specifically, if both the first and second matching results indicate a successful match, it means that the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment and the corresponding air conditioning product are valid, satisfying some of the prerequisites for operating the target embedded component, and the final determined matching result indicates a successful match. If either the first or second matching result indicates a failed match, it means that the control board assembly of the air conditioning equipment or the corresponding air conditioning product is invalid, failing to meet the prerequisites for operating the target embedded component, and the final determined matching result indicates a failed match.

[0127] In this embodiment, by constructing a control board database and an air conditioning product database and matching them respectively, dual verification of the validity of the control board combination of the air conditioning equipment and its corresponding air conditioning products is achieved. By comprehensively considering the first and second matching results, the final matching result can accurately determine whether the air conditioning equipment meets the prerequisite of the embedded components for operation, thereby avoiding operational failures or safety hazards caused by invalid control board combinations or air conditioning products, and improving the stability of air conditioning equipment operation.

[0128] In one embodiment, based on the above Figure 2 - Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the target embedded component includes a refrigerant leak detection component, which is used to detect refrigerant leak events in air conditioning equipment.

[0129] Specifically, the refrigerant leak detection component is used to detect refrigerant leaks in air conditioning equipment, where refrigerant is an important medium used in air conditioning systems to transfer heat and perform cooling / heating cycles.

[0130] A refrigerant leak detection system typically includes a refrigerant sensor, a data processing unit, and an alarm device. The refrigerant sensor monitors the refrigerant concentration in the environment surrounding the air conditioning unit in real time. An abnormal refrigerant concentration may indicate a refrigerant leak. The data processing unit analyzes the refrigerant concentration data collected by the sensor, using pre-defined algorithms to determine if a refrigerant leak has occurred, and potentially to pinpoint its location and extent. Once a refrigerant leak is detected, the alarm device sounds, alerting the user or maintenance personnel to take immediate action.

[0131] It should be noted that for some flammable refrigerants, a leak could pose a safety risk to the air conditioning equipment and the environment in which it is located. Therefore, some relevant regulations require air conditioning equipment to have refrigerant leak detection capabilities; for example, some regulations require certain air conditioning units to be equipped with refrigerant leak detection kits.

[0132] exist Figures 2 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, using the refrigerant leak detection component as a target embedded component means that the refrigerant leak detection component is embedded in the control system of the air conditioning equipment and works in conjunction with other control boards (such as the indoor unit control board and the outdoor unit control board). By monitoring the refrigerant concentration data of the environment in which the air conditioning equipment is located in real time, the refrigerant leak detection component can promptly detect and report refrigerant leak events, thereby ensuring the safety of the air conditioning equipment and the environment in which it is located.

[0133] Besides refrigerant leak detection components, many other similar embedded components can be installed and run on air conditioning equipment to enable more diverse and intelligent functions. For example:

[0134] Air quality monitoring components: used to monitor indoor air quality in real time, including the concentration of harmful substances such as PM2.5 and formaldehyde, and automatically adjust the operating mode and fan speed of air conditioning equipment based on the monitoring results to improve indoor air quality.

[0135] Intelligent energy-saving components: By analyzing user habits and indoor and outdoor environmental parameters, the operating mode and temperature setting of the air conditioning equipment are automatically adjusted to achieve more energy-efficient and effective operation.

[0136] Remote control component: Allows users to remotely control the operating mode and temperature setting of air conditioning equipment via smart devices such as smartphones and tablets, providing a more convenient user experience.

[0137] Fault diagnosis and early warning component: By monitoring the operating status and key parameters of air conditioning equipment in real time, it can promptly detect and warn of potential faults, and provide users with timely maintenance and repair suggestions.

[0138] In this embodiment, by embedding the refrigerant leak detection component as a target embedded component into the air conditioning equipment, efficient and real-time monitoring of refrigerant leak events in the air conditioning equipment is achieved. Furthermore, the collaborative operation of the refrigerant leak detection component with other control boards further enhances the overall performance and intelligence level of the air conditioning equipment.
