Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wired controller technology, specifically providing a wired controller and electrical system. Background Technology
[0002] With social and economic development, simply installing air conditioning indoors can no longer meet the increasing demands of users; especially those who need fresh air, requiring a fresh air system or an integrated air conditioning and fresh air system. Users with significant heating needs find air conditioning alone too energy-intensive and inefficient; therefore, they typically install air source heat pump systems to provide heating.
[0003] To control the aforementioned systems, each system is equipped with a wired controller to manage its corresponding system and meet various user needs. However, having only one wired controller per system results in multiple controllers within the room. To facilitate user operation, the controllers are distinguished by different appearances or colors to avoid accidental operation; however, this arrangement can be aesthetically unappealing. To improve aesthetics, controllers with identical appearances might be chosen, but this increases the risk of accidental operation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wired controller and electrical system to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, namely, to solve the problems that existing wired controllers are difficult to distinguish and are prone to misoperation; or that the wired controllers come in a variety of colors, which makes the room look unsightly.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a wired remote control, the wired remote control comprising:
[0007] The control module communicates with multiple function phones.
[0008] The switching module is capable of switching the functional machine that the control module can currently control.
[0009] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned wired controller, the functional unit includes at least two of the following: an air conditioning system, a fresh air system, an air source heat pump, and a fan coil unit.
[0010] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned wired controller, the wired controller includes a switching key, which is communicatively connected to the switching module. The switching key is used to switch the functional device that the control module can currently control.
[0011] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned wired controller, the wired controller includes a touch screen, and the switching module can display a switching interface on the touch screen. By touching the switching interface on the touch screen, the function phone that the control module can currently control can be switched.
[0012] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned wired controller, the working status, working mode and working parameters of the feature phone can be controlled by touching the touch screen.
[0013] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned wired controller, the wired controller further includes function buttons, which are communicatively connected to the control module. The function buttons are used to control the working status, working mode, and working parameters of the functional device.
[0014] In a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned wired controller, the wired controller includes a dot-matrix LCD screen, which can simultaneously display information of at least two of the functional devices, so that the wired controller can simultaneously control the switching on and off of multiple functional devices.
[0015] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned wired controller, the control module is wired to the function phone.
[0016] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned wired controller, the control module is wirelessly connected to the function phone.
[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an electrical system comprising a wired controller and multiple functional units as described above.
[0018] With the above technical solution adopted, the wired controller of this utility model includes a control module and a switching module. The control module is communicatively connected to multiple function phones and is used to control and operate the function phones. The switching module can switch the function phones currently controlled by the control module; that is, multiple function phones can be controlled by one wired controller, reducing the number of wired controllers, making installation more convenient and faster, and thus reducing the cost of the electrical system.

[0023] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," which indicate directional or positional relationships, are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0025] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0026] To control multiple functional devices, each system is equipped with a wired controller to manage the corresponding system and meet various user needs. However, having only one wired controller per system results in multiple controllers within the room. To facilitate user operation, different appearances or colors are used to distinguish the controllers and prevent accidental operation; however, this arrangement can make the room aesthetically unappealing. To improve aesthetics, controllers with the same appearance might be chosen, but this increases the risk of accidental operation.
[0027] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model discloses an electrical system including a wired controller 1 and multiple functional units 2. All functional units 2 are communicatively connected to the wired controller 1. Each functional unit 2 includes at least two of the following: an air conditioning system, a fresh air system, an air source heat pump, and a fan coil unit. In this embodiment, all four are included; and the wired controller 1 is specifically connected to the indoor unit of the air conditioning system, the indoor unit of the fresh air system, and the indoor unit of the air source heat pump.
[0028] The communication connection method between the function phone 2 and the wired controller 1 will be described below using two embodiments.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the wired controller 1 and the functional unit 2 are connected wirelessly, specifically via WiFi. The WiFi connection is the shared WiFi network used at the electrical system installation site; alternatively, a separate WiFi network can be provided for use only by the functional unit 2 and the wired controller 1, ensuring stable signal transmission.
[0031] Regarding the wireless communication connection between the wired controller 1 and the function phone 2, it should be noted that although the connection is made via WiFi in this embodiment, this is not a limitation of the present invention. In other embodiments, wireless connection can also be made via Bluetooth, wireless bridge or wireless network card without departing from the principle of the present invention. These methods do not deviate from the basic principle of the present invention and will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] The wireless transmission method does not have high requirements for the installation location of the wired controller 1 and the function unit 2, and the signal can be transmitted in various locations in the room; no special wiring is required, which makes installation more convenient; and it reduces installation costs.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the wired controller 1 and the function phone 2 communicate via a wired connection. Specifically, the function phone 2 is wired to the wired controller 1 via a two-core non-polarized bus. Compared to wireless connections, wired connections offer more stable signal transmission; moreover, they are less susceptible to interference from other wireless signals or magnetic fields during signal transmission.
[0035] Regarding the wired connection method, it should be noted that although this embodiment uses a two-core non-polarized bus connection, in other embodiments, wired connections can also be made through optical fiber, telephone line or KNXX bus. These do not deviate from the basic principle of this utility model and will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0036] The wired controller 1 specifically includes a control module and a switching module, etc. The structure of the wired controller 1 will be described in detail below with three embodiments.
[0037] Example 3
[0038] The wired controller 1 includes a control module and a switching module. The control module is communicatively connected to multiple function phones 2, and the control module can only control one function phone 2 at a time; that is, the control module can only control one of the four function phones 2 at any given time.
[0039] The switching module can switch the functional machine 2 that the control module can currently control; that is, the switching module switches the specific functional machine 2 that the control module can currently control.
[0040] The wired controller 1 includes a display screen, which can display the specific functional device 2 that the wired controller 1 can control, and can also display the current working status and parameters of the functional device 2.
[0041] The wired controller 1 includes a switching key, which is connected to the switching module. The switching key is used to switch the function machine 2 that the control module can currently control.
[0042] In addition, the wired controller 1 also includes function buttons, which are communicatively connected to the control module. These function buttons are used to control the operating status, operating mode, and operating parameters of the functional unit 2. Specifically, the function buttons include a power switch, a mode button, and adjustment buttons. The power switch controls the on / off state of the functional unit 2; the mode button controls the operating mode of the functional unit 2, specifically controlling whether the indoor unit of the air conditioning system is cooling or heating; the adjustment buttons control the operating parameters of the functional unit 2, specifically controlling the cooling or heating temperature and fan speed of the indoor unit; they can also control the fresh air supply speed and direction, thereby controlling the indoor air exchange speed; and they can also control the heating temperature of the air source heat pump, etc. Each function button controls the operating status, operating mode, and operating parameters of the functional unit 2 according to the currently controllable functional unit 2.
[0043] This wired controller 1 can control multiple functional units 2, eliminating the need to install multiple wired controllers 1, which is convenient for users. Furthermore, reducing the number of wired controllers 1 lowers the installation cost of the electrical system; it also eliminates the need for additional installation locations, further reducing installation costs.
[0044] Example 4
[0045] The central control unit 1 includes a control module and a switching module. The control module is communicatively connected to multiple function phones 2, and the control module can only control one function phone 2 at a time; that is, the control module can only control one of the four function phones 2 at any given time.
[0046] The switching module can switch the functional machine 2 that the control module can currently control; that is, the switching module switches the specific functional machine 2 that the control module can currently control.
[0047] The wired controller 1 includes a touch screen, and the switching module can display a switching interface on the touch screen. By touching the switching interface on the touch screen, the controller can switch the function machine 2 that it can currently control.
[0048] By touching the touchscreen, the operating status, mode, and parameters of the feature phone 2 can be controlled. Specifically, after switching to the desired function interface of the feature phone 2, the on / off status, operating mode, and parameters of the feature phone 2 can be adjusted according to the instructions on the interface and the user's needs. Specifically, it can control the cooling or heating of the indoor unit of the air conditioning system; the adjustment buttons are used to control the operating parameters of the feature phone 2, specifically controlling the cooling or heating temperature and fan speed of the indoor unit, thereby controlling the indoor air exchange speed; it can also control the fresh air supply speed and direction; and it can control the heating temperature of the air source heat pump, etc. After adjustment, it is also possible to switch to the function interface of other feature phones 2 to operate them.
[0049] The wired controller 1 also includes a switching key, which communicates with the switching module. The switching key allows the control module to switch the currently controllable functional unit 2. Furthermore, the wired controller 1 includes function buttons, which also communicate with the control module. These function buttons control the operating status, mode, and parameters of the functional unit 2. Specifically, the function buttons include a power button, a mode button, and adjustment buttons. The power button controls the on / off state of the functional unit 2; the mode button controls its operating mode, specifically whether the air conditioning system's indoor unit is cooling or heating; the adjustment buttons control the operating parameters of the functional unit 2, specifically the cooling or heating temperature and fan speed of the indoor unit; they also control the fresh air supply speed and direction; and the heating temperature of the air source heat pump, etc. Each function button controls the operating status, mode, and parameters of the functional unit 2 according to the currently controllable functional unit 2. In other words, switching the control interface and adjusting function parameters are achieved through both buttons and a touchscreen, making it suitable for users with various needs.
[0050] This wired controller 1 can control multiple functional units 2, eliminating the need to install multiple wired controllers 1, which is convenient for users. Furthermore, reducing the number of wired controllers 1 lowers the installation cost of the electrical system; it also eliminates the need for additional installation locations, further reducing installation costs.
[0051] Example 5
[0052] The wired controller 1 includes a control module and a switching module. The control module is communicatively connected to multiple function phones 2.
[0053] The switching module can switch the functional machine 2 that the control module can currently control; that is, the switching module switches the specific functional machine 2 that the control module can currently control.
[0054] The wired controller 1 includes a dot-matrix LCD screen capable of simultaneously displaying information from at least two functional devices 2, enabling the wired controller 1 to control the on / off operation of multiple functional devices 2 simultaneously. Specifically, the wired controller 1 includes a power switch, which allows multiple functional devices 2 to be switched on and off simultaneously. When needed, the wired controller 1 can simultaneously turn on multiple functional devices 2, allowing for quick adjustment of various data within the room; multiple functional devices 2 can be turned on without switching, offering convenience and speed. When not needed, the wired controller 1 can simultaneously turn off multiple functional devices 2 without switching, also offering quick and convenient operation.
[0055] The dot-matrix LCD screen also serves as the display screen for the wired controller 1. It can display the specific functional unit 2 that the wired controller 1 can control, as well as the current working status and parameters of the functional unit 2.
[0056] The wired controller 1 includes a switching key, which is communicatively connected to the switching module. The switching key allows the control module to switch the currently controllable functional unit 2. Although the on / off switch controls the switching of multiple functional units 2, each functional unit 2 has a different operating mode and parameters, as well as different adjustment methods and ranges. Therefore, the wired controller 1 also includes function buttons, which are communicatively connected to the control module. These function buttons are used to control the operating mode and parameters of the functional units 2. Specifically, the function buttons include a mode button and an adjustment button. The mode button controls the operating mode of the functional unit 2, specifically controlling whether the indoor unit of the air conditioning system is cooling or heating. The adjustment button controls the operating parameters of the functional unit 2, specifically controlling the cooling or heating temperature and fan speed of the indoor unit, thereby controlling the indoor air exchange speed; it can also control the fresh air supply speed and direction; and it can also control the heating temperature of the air source heat pump, etc. Each function button controls the operating mode and parameters of the functional unit 2 according to the currently controllable functional unit 2.
[0057] This wired controller 1 can control multiple functional units 2, eliminating the need to install multiple wired controllers 1, which is convenient for users. Furthermore, reducing the number of wired controllers 1 lowers the installation cost of the electrical system; it also eliminates the need for additional installation locations, further reducing installation costs.
[0058] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
