Further, the RCU core control panel further includes: an RJ45 communication interface and an RS485 communication interface. Specifically, in this embodiment, the RJ45 communication interface is designed with a W5500 signal processing chip, and the RS485 communication interface is designed with an SP3485EN signal processing chip. The system communication signals are converted and transmitted through the RJ45 communication interface and the RS485 communication interface, so as to be processed by the RCU control core.

[0028] The WIFI communication module is responsible for the overall control logic operation of the system. The preferred WIFI communication module in this embodiment is a WIFI module of ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R8. There are three communication methods for the smart hotel RCU system in this embodiment, namely WIFI, RJ45, and RS485. WIFI has stronger data transmission ability and longer transmission distance compared with Bluetooth and Zigbee, and can be applied to large hotel systems. The alarm module is an audible and visual alarm module, which alarms in case of abnormality.

[0029] The RCU core control panel is respectively connected to the output control module, the cloud server, and the terminal module through the WIFI communication module.

[0030] Specifically, the curtain switch module is a 2-way curtain switch module, which has 4 relay outputs. 2 relays control the forward and reverse rotation of the curtain motor; the ON / OFF switch module is a 4-way ON / OFF switch module, which has 4 relay outputs, and 1 relay controls 1-way switch; the first dimming switch module is a 2-way 0-10V dimming switch module, which inputs two PWM signals and uses a digital-to-analog signal chip to control the output of a working voltage of 0-10V, and is applied to low-power dimming; the second dimming switch module is a 2-way thyristor dimming switch module, which inputs two PWM signals and uses a digital-to-analog signal chip to control the output of a working voltage of 0-10V as the input of the dimmer controller, and outputs a variable voltage to achieve smooth dimming, and is applied to high-power dimming.

[0031] The RCU core control panel is connected to the cloud server through the WIFI communication module, and then communicates with the terminal module. After the user checks in, they can control the network through the terminal module without going through the hotel front desk or entering the room, and can also provide personalized setting scenarios to adjust the lighting system, air conditioning system, background music and other output control modules in advance. The sharing of information provides a more intuitive and convenient operation page for both users and hotel management. Among them, the terminal module at least includes a PC, a tablet computer and a smart phone. Specifically, the preferred terminal module in this embodiment is a smart phone.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the intelligent hotel RCU system is applied to the welcome mode. Specifically, the hotel front desk enters the customer information, and the RCU control system turns on the air conditioning system in advance to purify the air and adjust the comfortable lighting before the user checks in. When the user enters the room, the corridor lights are turned on to welcome.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the intelligent hotel RCU system is applied to the check-in mode. Specifically, the hotel front desk can view the system operation status through the PC or the mobile APP. Hotel users can remotely set the room temperature, lights, etc. on the mobile APP; if there are network-connected devices in the room, they can also be indirectly controlled through the RCU, such as turning on the humidifier, turning on the floor heating, etc.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the intelligent hotel RCU system is applied to the going-out mode. Specifically, the room has been rented, and it is detected that there is no one in the room for a long time. The air conditioning system, lights, etc. are set in the unmanned mode, but the difference is that the user can set the relevant environmental parameters at this time.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, the intelligent hotel RCU system is applied to the normal mode. Specifically, users can control the lights, air conditioning, curtains, etc. through the switch panel and have an automatic adjustment state; the system has 2-way curtain switch modules that control the opening and closing degree of the curtains according to the temperature or light state; 2-way thyristor dimming switch modules control the output dimming and can perform multi-level light regulation; 2-way 0-10V dimming or thyristor dimming switch modules can add device information such as background music and perform dimming of atmosphere lights, lighting lights, etc.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the intelligent hotel RCU system is applied to doorplate display. Specifically, information such as "Please Clean Immediately", "Do Not Disturb", "Please Wait a Moment", "SOS", "Check Out" in the guest room is displayed on the doorplate, and the information is synchronously updated to the housing management system, the front desk, and the mobile APP in real time; when a corresponding service request is pressed, in addition to calling the hotel front desk staff, it can also be discovered and handled by passing service staff; when not wanting to be disturbed, press the "Do Not Disturb" button, and the "Do Not Disturb" message is displayed on the external monitor, and the "Doorbell" button is ineffective; when the guest is answering the phone or in the bathroom, if someone presses the "Doorbell" button outside the door, the guest presses the "Please Wait a Moment" button on the mobile APP, and at the same time, the message "Please Wait a Moment" is displayed on the "External Monitor"; information such as the air conditioner operation status, the guest room temperature, the door magnetic, window magnetic, and safe switch status is transmitted to the system software in real time.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the intelligent hotel RCU system is applied to the alarm mode. Specifically, when no one has been in the room for a long time and the door is not closed, the information is uploaded to the user APP and the hotel management system to remind the service staff to handle it; when the user is not feeling well or encounters special circumstances, press the "SOS" help button to upload the information to the system, which is displayed on the doorplate and gives an audible and visual alarm to ensure the personal and property safety of the user.

[0043] In summary, the embodiment of the present utility model provides an intelligent hotel RCU system based on WIFI networking, which is easy to install. All control components are installed in an iron box, and even the input and output wiring can be omitted. The hotel rooms can be controlled using WIFI.
