Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an air-conditioning control terminal. Background Art

[0002] Traditional indoor air conditioning fan coil control usually uses a non-networked thermostat to adjust the temperature. Such thermostats require customers to operate manually, which not only makes the indoor environment uncomfortable, but also causes energy waste.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, people began to upgrade the room thermostats to the Internet, using wired 485, wireless LORA or Zigbee and other technologies for remote control. However, there are still some problems with the modified thermostats: on the one hand, the wired method has the problem of complex construction, and the above wireless communication method has the problem of unstable signals, which hinders the efficient centralized management of fan coil units and makes it difficult for the hotel to achieve the purpose of energy-saving regulation of fan coil units. On the other hand, the display screen of the thermostat needs to display information such as temperature and humidity (accurate to one decimal place), wind speed, air conditioning mode, etc. All LED tubes and LED lights are driven by a unified driver chip. However, the 8-digit LED tubes used for the first two digits of temperature and humidity are large specifications, and the specifications of other display units are small, so there is uneven brightness.
