[0017] The utility model is an embedded wall-mounted household air conditioning management system terminal, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a detachable base plate 1 and a control panel 2. The outer periphery of the base plate 1 is equipped with a sealing ring 3, which can firmly install the base plate 1 in a slot opened on the wall. In addition, it can also include a mobile phone app and a remote control.

[0018] An installation groove 4 is provided on the base plate 1, and the control panel 2 is located in the installation groove 4. The outer surface of the control panel 2 is flush with the outer surfaces of the base plate 1 and the sealing ring sleeve 3. When the base plate 1 and the control panel 2 are installed in the slots on the wall, they will not protrude from the wall surface and will not affect the flatness and aesthetics of the overall wall surface.

[0019] The base plate 1 and control panel 2 are electrically connected via a flat cable 5. Due to the provision of flat cable 5, the connection and disassembly between the base plate 1 and control panel 2 do not affect the electrical connection performance. A control module 6 and a power module 7 are installed within the base plate 1, while a touch screen 8, a wireless transmission module 9, a voice control module 10, and a temperature measurement module 11 are installed on the control panel 2. These wireless transmission module 9, voice control module 10, and temperature measurement module 11 are all connected to the control module 6 via control lines, enabling real-time monitoring of the ambient temperature and transmitting this data to the air conditioner for temperature feedback adjustment.

[0020] The touch screen 8 serves as a human-computer interaction interface, which can adjust the temperature of the air conditioner and other parameters. The temperature measurement module 11 can monitor the temperature of people's actual living environment in real time and transmit the temperature parameters to the control module 6. The voice control module 10 can convert the user's voice into a control signal and transmit it to the control module 6. After the control module 6 compares the temperature parameters with the adjustment parameters, the wireless transmission module 9 can transmit the adjustment control signal to the air conditioner to achieve temperature adjustment.

[0021] The power supply module 7 provides the necessary power for the various components within the air conditioning management system terminal and can be connected to a household 220V power source for charging. The control module 6 can be a logic module with computing and analysis capabilities, such as a PLC module, microcontroller, or single-board computer. The wireless transmission module 9 can be an existing WiFi module or GPRS wireless transmission module. The voice control module 10 can be an existing voice controller or voice recognition module capable of converting the vocabulary content of human speech into computer-readable input. The temperature measurement module 11 can be an existing temperature probe or thermometer.

[0022] The data table in the database of the control module 6 is divided into seven days a week and 24 hours a day, which are further divided into six time periods. The database in the control module 6 can be set through the buttons on the touch screen 8, or it can be set in the mobile phone APP and then transmitted to the control module 6 through the wireless transmission module 9.

[0023] The touch screen 8 is provided with a manual / automatic button. In manual mode, the set temperature can be adjusted through the temperature arrow keys on the touch screen 8. In automatic mode, the set button on it can be used to set the temperature of the database in the control module 6 for seven days a week and six time periods a day.

[0024] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the base plate 1 and the control panel 2, the height of the mounting groove 4 is greater than the height of the control panel 2, and a vertically arranged T-slot 12 is opened in the mounting groove 4. The upper end of the T-slot 12 leaves an insertion gap from the upper side of the mounting groove 4, such as Figure 5 As shown, a T-shaped plug-in block 13 that matches the T-shaped slot 12 is provided on the inner side of the control panel 2, and a USB socket 21 is provided at the bottom of the control panel 2. The T-shaped plug-in block 13 can enter the upper side position of the T-shaped slot 12 through the insertion gap and fit into the T-shaped slot 12 under the action of gravity.

[0025] The above-described structural arrangement ensures a secure connection between the base plate 1 and the control panel 2. To disassemble the control panel 2, simply push the control panel 2 upward to separate the T-shaped insert 13 from the T-shaped slot 12. Due to the arrangement of the flat cable 5, the base plate 1 and the control panel 2 remain electrically connected even in the disassembled state. During disassembly, only the control panel 2 is manipulated, while the base plate 1 remains within the wall. This disassembly method facilitates software updates, upgrades, or maintenance operations on the air conditioning management system terminal. After disassembling the control panel 2, maintenance personnel can insert an external device into the USB port 21 to perform corresponding updates or maintenance operations on the air conditioning management system terminal.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to prevent dust and other debris from entering the insertion gap on the upper part of the control panel 2 and affecting the normal use of the device, an LED lamp 14 is provided in the installation slot 4 on the upper part of the control panel 2, and a removable translucent cover 15 is provided on the outside of the LED lamp 14. The translucent cover 15 and the control panel 2 completely cover the installation slot 4.

[0027] The provision of the LED light 14 will not affect the installation of the T-shaped plug-in block 13, and can emit bright light at night, serving as a corresponding indicator for the air conditioning management system terminal, so that the user can quickly locate the air conditioning management system terminal and perform corresponding operations in a dark environment. The provision of the translucent cover plate 15 can fill the insertion gap of the installation slot 4 after the control panel 2 is installed, preventing dust and other debris from entering the interior of the device, and allowing the light emitted by the LED light 14 to pass through normally. After the translucent cover plate 15 is installed, it can also form a limit for the bottom control panel 2. The translucent cover plate 15 can be detachably connected to the base plate 1 through a structure that is convenient for disassembly and assembly, such as a snap, and the control panel 2 can be disassembled and assembled after the translucent cover plate 15 is removed.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to achieve a stable installation between the sealing ring sleeve 3 and the base plate 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the outer circumference of the base plate 1 is provided with a limiting ring groove 16, and the inner circumference of the sealing ring sleeve 3 is provided with a boss 17 that cooperates with the limiting ring groove 16. A limiting hole 18 is also provided on the side of the base plate 1, and a plug 19 is provided on the inner circumference of the sealing ring sleeve 3 to cooperate with the limiting hole 18. To achieve a stable connection between the sealing ring sleeve 3 and the wall, a friction protrusion 20 is also provided on the outer circumference of the sealing ring sleeve 3. The sealing ring sleeve 3 can be made of a hard plastic with a certain degree of elasticity and fills the gap between the base plate 1 and the slot provided in the wall.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the height position of the entire device in the wall slot and its own levelness to ensure accurate installation, such as Figure 8-10 As shown, four sets of height adjustment mechanisms are installed in the base plate 1, two of which are located at the upper side plate of the base plate 1, and two are located at the lower side plate of the base plate 1.

[0030] Each height adjustment mechanism includes a horizontally arranged adjustment screw 22. A threaded countersunk hole is provided in the base plate 1 to mate with the adjustment screw 22. An eccentric wheel 23 is mounted on the adjustment screw 22. A relief groove 24 is provided in the base plate 1 to mate with the eccentric wheel 23. The relief groove 24 is connected to the threaded countersunk hole. When the adjustment screw 22 is rotated, the eccentric wheel 23 at the upper side plate can move upward through the relief groove 24, while the eccentric wheel 23 at the lower side plate can move downward through the relief groove 24. The installation position of the base plate 1 within the wall slot can be adjusted by varying the distance that the eccentric wheel 23 extends out of the relief groove 24.

[0031] The avoidance groove 24 allows the eccentric wheel 23 to deflect a certain distance along the axial direction of the adjusting screw 22. In order to facilitate the rotation adjustment of the adjusting screw 22 in the threaded countersunk hole, a slot 25 is also provided on the end surface of the adjusting screw 22 to facilitate the insertion of a flat-blade screwdriver to achieve rotation adjustment of the adjusting screw 22.

[0032] The air conditioning management system terminal also includes a mobile phone APP and a remote control. The mobile phone APP can be used to remotely set and monitor the air conditioner through the wireless transmission module 9. The remote control can control the control module 6 or the air conditioner indoor unit to control the operation of the air conditioner.

[0033] The control module 6 is provided with a database, which can be used to set the temperature of each day of each week into n segments through the buttons of the touch screen 8 or the mobile phone APP. Then the control module 6 controls the air conditioner indoor unit through the wireless transmission module 9, so that the air conditioner operates according to people's comfort and energy-saving mode.

[0034] The remote control can control the operation of the air conditioner by manipulating the control module 6 or the air conditioner unit. The remote control can be configured to select between smart mode and manual mode. When smart mode is selected, the control module 6 automatically operates according to the data table in the database, dividing the week into seven days and the 24 hours of the day into six time periods. When manual mode is selected, the control module 6 or the air conditioner unit can be operated by buttons on the remote control to control the air conditioner's power on and off, cooling, heating, ventilation, dehumidification, air volume, etc.

[0035] Air conditioners have become an indispensable household appliance. By the end of 2023, the number of household air conditioners in my country had reached nearly 600 million, the vast majority of which were wall-mounted. However, the majority of these air conditioners are remote-controlled, non-intelligent units with low energy efficiency, resulting in high power consumption. This high energy consumption is primarily due to the integration of the thermometer into the indoor unit. The indoor unit is typically installed indoors at a height of 2.6-2.8 meters above the floor, while the temperature experienced by people in their daily lives is typically between 1-1.4 meters. Natural convection, which causes hot air to rise and cold air to fall, is a complex function, making it difficult for people to adjust the air conditioner's set temperature to their desired setting. According to the laws of natural air convection, the temperature difference between a room's height of 2.6 meters and 1.2 meters is 2-3 degrees Celsius. This means that if a user sets their existing air conditioner to 26 degrees Celsius, the actual temperature they perceive is 23-24 degrees Celsius. Every degree the indoor temperature drops increases or decreases the air conditioner's energy consumption by 5-10%. This is the primary reason for the high energy consumption of existing air conditioners. Looking at electricity consumption in my country, household air conditioners already account for over 15% of total electricity consumption, and during peak summer demand, their consumption even reaches nearly 40%. Therefore, reducing air conditioner energy consumption is not only of concern to every household but also crucial to my country's national policy of reducing carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutrality. However, under my country's current economic conditions, replacing all existing air conditioners in a short period of time is virtually impossible. Therefore, how to retrofit these air conditioners with intelligent and energy-efficient technologies to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction has become a crucial issue.

[0036] The air conditioning management system terminal of the utility model enables the existing air conditioning to achieve intelligent management of the air conditioning through the terminal to achieve the purpose of comfort and energy saving.

[0037] The air conditioning management system terminal of the present invention can be equipped with an intelligent temperature control model. This model can be programmed through its own setting button or mobile phone app according to weather conditions and people's living and working characteristics. The settings can be set according to people's work and rest patterns, each day of the week, and each day divided into six time periods.

[0038] For example, on weekdays, people go out to work at 8:00 and return home at 18:00. Therefore, the temperature can be set at 30 degrees Celsius from 8:00 to 17:00, and 25-26 degrees Celsius from 17:00 to 22:00. Due to the thermal inertia of the building, the room temperature will take some time to cool down after the air conditioner is turned on. Therefore, the air conditioner is turned on at 17:00, and by 18:00, when people return home, the room temperature has already reached the desired level. This saves energy while ensuring that people feel comfortable in the room.

[0039] The mobile app can be set up to choose between smart mode and manual mode. When smart mode is selected, the data table in the database of the control module 6 is divided into seven days of the week and six time periods of the 24 hours of the day. The data is then transmitted to the control module 6 via the wireless transmission module 9. When manual mode is selected, the air conditioner can be turned on and off, and the cooling, heating, ventilation, dehumidification, and air volume settings can be controlled via the wireless transmission module 9. When people are away from home, they can check the status of the air conditioner through the mobile app. If they forget to turn off the air conditioner, they can remotely control its operation through the mobile app.

[0040] The remote control can be configured with smart and manual modes. When smart mode is selected, the control module 6 automatically operates according to the data table in the database, dividing the week into seven days and the 24 hours of the day into six time periods. When manual mode is selected, the control module 6 or the air conditioner can be controlled by pressing buttons on the remote control to turn the air conditioner on and off, and to control cooling, heating, ventilation, dehumidification, air volume, etc.

[0041] The technical solution of the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described in the present invention. The technical contents not described in detail in the present invention are all well-known technologies.
