[0004] In recent years, various electrical appliances have become increasingly common in people's daily lives. However, in some relatively underdeveloped and remote areas, there are still problems with unstable power grids and frequent power outages. When the mains power goes out, people usually switch the power supply for their electrical appliances to non-mains power sources such as community generators or small household generators. However, the power supply capacity of non-mains power sources such as community generators or small generators is limited and cannot guarantee that all household appliances operate at full load. Therefore, it is usually necessary to adjust the air conditioner to an energy-saving operating mode when a non-mains power supply is detected to reduce energy consumption and ensure stable operation. However, existing modules for detecting non-mains power supply usually require the deployment of dedicated signal transmission lines between the air conditioner and the air conditioner to transmit signals or send control instructions, etc., which is relatively cumbersome to deploy and thus affects the stability of the air conditioner operation. Therefore, how to provide a more convenient and efficient air conditioner operating mode control solution has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar users and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0043] The following is a detailed description of an embodiment of the air conditioner operating mode control method described in this application. As shown in Figure 1, it is a flow chart of the air conditioner operating mode control method provided by this application, and the specific implementation process includes the following steps.

[0044] Step 101: When it is detected that the power supply of the air conditioner is switched from the mains power supply to the non-mains power supply, a signal transmitting module connected to a power supply line of the non-mains power supply collects a power signal of the non-mains power supply.

[0045] Wherein, the mains power supply and the non-mains power supply are connected to the air conditioner through different power supply lines respectively. The signal transmitting module is connected to the power supply line of the non-mains power supply to obtain whether there is a power signal in the power supply line. The power supply line (i.e., power line) is mainly used to transmit electrical energy. The power signal is a signal for detecting the operating status of the power system (such as the mains power supply or the non-mains power supply). The power supply line of the signal transmitting module is connected to the power supply line of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The signal transmitting module used in this application includes at least one signal transmitting module, and its installation form is a three-pin plug form. The acquisition module for collecting the power supply signal can be installed inside the box of the signal transmitting module, and is used to be powered by a non-mains power supply to ensure its signal transmission.

[0046] Furthermore, after collecting the power signal of the non-mains power supply based on the signal transmitting module connected to the power supply line of the non-mains power supply, the system further includes: transmitting the power signal to the signal receiving module based on a preset wireless communication network between the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module; or transmitting the power signal to the signal receiving module via power line carrier communication. Specifically, before transmitting the power signal to the preset signal receiving module using the preset wireless communication network between the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module, a wireless communication network may be pre-established between the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module using wireless signal transmission technology, including but not limited to Wi-Fi, NB-IOT, LoRa, ZigBee, etc., for signal transmission and delivery. The signal transmitting module transmits the power signal, and the signal receiving module receives the power signal. Signals are transmitted between the two via the wireless communication network, which can achieve multi-node control, wide coverage, low power consumption, and minimal impact from grid operation fluctuations. This prevents signal transmission distortion caused by voltage fluctuations and enables signal transmission independent of grid operation conditions. In addition, in the process of sending the power signal to the preset signal receiving module by using the power line carrier communication between the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module, specifically, the energy-saving control of the air conditioner is performed by using the power carrier principle, that is, power line carrier communication (PLC, Power Line Communication), which refers to a special communication method that uses high-voltage power lines, medium-voltage power lines or low-voltage distribution lines as transmission media for signal transmission. When sending, the collected power signal is modulated using modulation technology, and the modulated signal carrying information is loaded on the current, and then transmitted on the inherent power line; at the receiving end, the modulated signal is first taken out by the filter, and then demodulated to obtain the original power signal to realize information transmission.

[0047] As shown in FIG2 , in one embodiment, a preset power conversion device (i.e., an electrically controlled adapter box placed outdoors) may also be included. This power conversion device has an input and an output. The input power comes from various power sources, such as a mains power source, a community generator, a personal generator, etc., connected via power supply lines. The output power is connected to a household power outlet. In addition, a mains power source is directly connected to a household mains outlet for use by non-essential electrical appliances. The input and output of the signal transmission module are respectively connected to the neutral line (N line) and the live line (L line) of the power supply line between the non-mains power source and the input of the power conversion device. The non-mains power source includes, but is not limited to, a community generator, a personal generator, etc. It should be noted that the present application may include multiple indoor units, such as indoor unit 1 ... indoor unit N, where N is an integer greater than 1. Each indoor unit corresponds to an outdoor unit, and each outdoor unit is connected to a signal receiving module. The power supply line of the signal receiving module is connected to the L line and N line of the outdoor unit's power supply line, and the signal transmission line of the signal receiving module is connected to the original power line between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit.

[0048] Step 102: Based on a preset signal receiving module connected to the signal terminal of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the power signal collected by the signal transmitting module is obtained, and the working mode of the air conditioner is controlled based on the power signal; wherein, the signal transmitting circuit of the signal transmitting module is connected to the signal terminal of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner; and the signal terminal of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner are transmitted through the original power circuit.

[0049] Specifically, the power signal collected by the signal transmitting module can be obtained based on a preset signal receiving module connected to the signal terminal of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. When the power signal is obtained, the air conditioner is controlled to adjust to a preset energy-saving working mode; when the power signal is not obtained, the air conditioner is controlled to operate according to the working mode selected by the user. Wherein, when the power signal is obtained, the air conditioner is controlled to adjust to the preset energy-saving working mode. The corresponding specific implementation process includes: when the power signal is detected, corresponding power signal indication information is generated based on the signal transmitting module, and the power signal indication information is sent to the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the original power line to control the air conditioner to adjust to the corresponding energy-saving working mode; wherein the power signal indication information is used to indicate that the power signal has been detected. The number of the signal receiving modules corresponds to the number of the outdoor units, and the outdoor unit includes at least one. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the signal receiving module is installed on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and its power supply is shared with the power supply of the outdoor unit. Its signal transmitting circuit is connected to the signal terminal (S) of the outdoor unit. In addition to providing L and N power to the indoor unit, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner also communicates with the indoor unit through the original power line (i.e., the S signal line in Figure 2). The original power line connects the computer motherboard of the outdoor unit and the CPU of the computer motherboard of the indoor unit. The two transmit signals through the original power line, so the signal transmitting module uses the existing original power line to notify the computer motherboard of the indoor unit whether there is AC power supply. After receiving the power signal, the indoor unit determines whether there is AC power supply, and then sends a corresponding control command to the outdoor unit to determine whether energy-saving control is performed.

[0050] It should be noted that the number of the signal receiving modules is the same as the number corresponding to the multiple outdoor units, and each signal receiving module corresponds to one outdoor unit. In other words, the number of signal receiving modules is not limited to one. It depends on the number of outdoor units of the air conditioner installed in the home. The number of signal receiving modules corresponds one-to-one with the number of outdoor units. There can be only one signal transmitting module, or multiple signal transmitting modules, thereby realizing a control method for a multi-terminal energy-saving mode. The following combinations are all within the scope of protection of this application: 1 signal transmitting module → N signal receiving modules; N signal transmitting modules → N signal receiving modules; N signal transmitting modules → 1 signal receiving module; wherein N can be a positive integer of 1, 2, 3...n.

[0051] When the power signal indication information is sent to the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the original power line to control the air conditioner to adjust to the corresponding energy-saving working mode, after the power signal indication information is sent to the indoor unit of the air conditioner through the original power line, it is determined based on the indoor unit of the air conditioner whether the AC power supply is connected; when the indoor unit of the air conditioner determines that the AC power supply is not connected, the energy-saving working mode control instruction is sent to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner through the original power line to control the adjustment to the corresponding energy-saving working mode for operation.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, when the mains power supply is normally supplied, other power sources are not available, and the signal transmitting module is connected to a non-mains power source. At this time, there is no power supply to the signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module (i.e., the signal receiving module) cannot communicate with each other, and the air conditioner operates according to the user settings. When the mains power supply is disconnected, other power sources (i.e., non-mains power sources) supply power to the home, and the non-mains power socket becomes powered. The signal transmitting module and the signal receiving module communicate normally, indicating that other power sources (i.e., non-mains power sources) supply power to the home. The signal receiving module controls the computer motherboard of the indoor unit to make the air conditioner enter the corresponding energy-saving mode to ensure that other electrical appliances can operate under limited power capacity. In addition, after the indoor unit of the air conditioner is triggered to enter the preset energy-saving working mode based on the power signal, the actual power supply capacity corresponding to the non-mains power source can also be obtained, and the air conditioner is adjusted to the corresponding operating gear according to the size of the actual power supply capacity.

[0053] The air conditioning working mode control method provided in the present application, when detecting that the power supply of the air conditioner is switched from a mains power supply to a non-mains power supply, collects the power signal of the non-mains power supply based on a signal transmitting module connected to the power supply line of the non-mains power supply, and obtains the power signal collected by the signal transmitting module based on a preset signal receiving module connected to the signal terminal of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and then sends the power signal to the indoor unit through the original power line between the signal terminal of the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner to control the working mode of the air conditioner. By connecting to the outdoor unit and transmitting signals through the original power line, the line cost and the deployment efficiency of the signal transmitting module are effectively reduced, and the stability of the air conditioner operation is improved.
