Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "at least one" includes one or more. "Multiple" refers to two or more. For example, at least one of A, B, and C includes: A exists alone, B exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, A and C exist at the same time, B and C exist at the same time, and A, B, and C exist at the same time.

For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0025] The specific implementation of the present application is described below in conjunction with Figures 1 to 3. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative implementation of the present application and does not constitute any limitation to the present application.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides an air-conditioning control system 100. Specifically, the air-conditioning control system 100 includes a control unit 102, an action unit 104, and a power supply unit 106. During actual application, the control unit 102 can be used to receive the HBS communication signal in which the HBS communication signal is superimposed on the DC power signal and issue corresponding processing instructions. The action unit 104 can be used to receive the processing instructions issued by the control unit 102 and drive the corresponding device to perform an action according to the received processing instructions. As for the power supply unit 106, the power supply unit 106 can be used to receive the DC power signal in which the HBS communication signal is superimposed on the DC power signal, and when it is detected that there is no mains power supply, the power supply unit 106 can provide the DC power signal to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 as described above, thereby powering the control unit 102 and the action unit 104.

[0027] Specifically, communication lines and power lines are typically dedicated to each other. However, in the embodiments of this application, a DC power supply is added to the HBS bus to achieve multi-purpose use of one line. In other words, the HBS communication signal is superimposed with a DC power signal. Furthermore, the addition of a DC power signal to the communication signal is currently used on interfaces such as RS485 and CAN. However, due to the low level thresholds for the RS485 A and B differential signals—logic 1 is +2V to +6V, and logic 0 is -2V to -6V—when the system is transmitting over long distances, the low differential signal level thresholds will result in line losses preventing the differential signal from being correctly parsed, making it impossible to transmit the signal over long distances. Furthermore, all of the aforementioned interfaces require signal polarity differentiation. The HBS communication signal used in the embodiments of this application utilizes differential signal transmission, with a threshold of up to 0V+±5V and no polarity differentiation. Therefore, adding a power signal to the HBS communication method effectively enables long-distance transmission.

[0028] According to the embodiments of the present application, the power supply unit 106 can receive the DC power signal superimposed on the HBS communication signal. In actual application, the power supply unit 106 can detect the presence of mains power. When the power supply unit 106 detects the absence of mains power, it can provide the DC power signal to the air conditioner control unit 102 and action unit 104 to power both, thereby maintaining normal and stable operation of the control unit 102 and action unit 104.

[0029] In other words, currently, HBS communication generally uses dedicated lines, and DC power signals cannot be superimposed on the signal lines. As a result, when an abnormal power outage occurs, the air conditioner and other equipment cannot promptly shut down or open the relevant control unit 102 and action unit 104, causing system anomalies and instability. However, the air conditioning control system 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can superimpose a DC power signal on the HBS communication signal. When there is no mains power, the power signal can still be transmitted over the HBS communication line to provide power to the control unit 102 and action unit 104. This allows the system to continue to communicate and process relevant instructions and operations in the event of a power outage, making the system more stable and reliable.

[0030] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 and 2, in the embodiment of the present application, the power supply unit 106 can also, upon detecting the presence of a mains power supply, cut off the supply of the DC power signal and supply the mains power to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104, thereby powering both. In other words, the power supply unit 106 itself has a mains power supply detection function, and can determine whether to supply power by the mains power or the DC power signal based on the detection result, thereby driving the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 to perform corresponding operations.

[0031] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, with respect to the specific configuration of the power supply unit 106, the power supply unit 106 may include an AC high-resistance circuit 108, a power supply detection circuit 110, and a power output circuit 112. In actual application, the AC high-resistance circuit 108 can be used to block the HBS communication signal superimposed on the DC power signal in the HBS communication signal, and allow the DC power signal to pass through. In other words, the AC high-resistance circuit 108 can effectively isolate the HBS communication signal and have no obstruction to the DC power signal, thereby achieving a one-line multi-purpose effect. In addition, the power supply detection circuit 110 can be used to identify whether there is a mains supply, that is, the power supply detection circuit 110 has a mains supply detection function. Furthermore, the power output circuit 112 can be used to provide the mains power or the DC power signal through the AC high-resistance circuit 108 to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 as described above based on the recognition result of the power supply detection circuit 110 on whether there is mains power.

[0032] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present application, the air-conditioning control system 100 may also include a current detection circuit 114, which can be used to identify the DC power signal passing through the AC high-resistance circuit 108, and trigger the power output circuit 112 to cut off the connection between it and the AC high-resistance circuit 108 when an abnormal condition occurs, thereby protecting the power supply of the control unit 102, the action unit 104 and other weak-current parts.

[0033] In addition, in one embodiment of the present application, the air conditioning control system 100 may further include a communication circuit 116. Specifically, the communication circuit 116 may be used to receive the HBS communication signal superimposed on the DC power signal and analyze the HBS communication signal, thereby parsing the HBS communication signal into a communication signal that can be recognized by the control unit 102 through the communication circuit 116 and transmitting the parsed communication signal to the control unit 102.

[0034] In conjunction with the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2 , in an embodiment of the air conditioning control system 100 of the present application, the control unit 102 includes a conventional controller MCU and related peripheral circuits. The control unit 102 can output relevant control instructions for the entire system. The action unit 104 can drive a conventional relay drive circuit and related control components based on the control instructions output by the control unit 102. The power supply detection circuit 110 in the power supply unit 106 can detect the source of the system power supply. In other words, the power supply detection circuit 110 can determine whether the device is receiving AC power. Furthermore, the power output circuit 112 in the power supply unit 106 can implement power switching based on relevant logic and instructions from the control unit 102, providing the relevant power energy for the action unit 104 to perform operations. The current detection circuit 114 can detect whether there are short circuits or other abnormal conditions in the communication line, thereby providing judgment conditions for the power output circuit 112. The AC high-impedance circuit 108 in the power supply unit 106 can isolate the HBS communication signal from the power supply signal, preventing the power output circuit 112 from absorbing the communication signal and affecting the quality of system communication.

[0035] Further referring to the embodiments shown in Figures 1 and 2, Figure 1 shows an embodiment including one indoor device (i.e., an air conditioner); Figure 2 shows an embodiment including two indoor devices cascaded to each other. During the actual application of the air-conditioning control system 100 of the present application, the communication circuit 116 of the indoor device receives a communication signal sent by an outdoor device or other device, i.e., an HBS communication signal superimposed on a DC power supply signal, and the communication circuit 116 performs signal protection and preliminary processing functions on the communication signal. The communication circuit 116 performs signal processing and analysis on the HBS communication signal, and parses out a communication signal that can be recognized by the control unit 102, such as a commonly used TTL serial port signal. After the control unit 102 parses and obtains the communication information, it processes the information according to the specified logic and issues the corresponding processing instructions to the action unit 104. Next, the action unit 104 performs the corresponding operation, thereby completing the communication between the devices and executing the operation.

[0036] When the communication signal simultaneously enters the AC high-impedance circuit 108, the DC power signal is superimposed on the HBS communication signal. Therefore, the AC communication signal is blocked by the AC high-impedance circuit 108, allowing the DC power signal to pass through the AC high-impedance circuit 108. Next, the DC power signal is detected by the current detection circuit 114. If a communication line short circuit or error causes an abnormality, the current detection circuit 114 will quickly identify the abnormality and notify the power output circuit 112. At this point, the power output circuit 112 will disconnect from the AC high-impedance circuit 108, effectively disconnecting the voltage anomaly and protecting the power supply of the control unit 102, the action unit 104, and other weak current components.

[0037] Furthermore, the power supply detection circuit 110 can identify whether the power supply of the air conditioner device is provided by the mains. Specifically, in one case, if there is mains power supply, the power output circuit 112 will switch to the switching power supply of the mains, so that the action unit 104 and the related control unit 102 are powered by the switching power supply; in another case, if the power supply detection circuit 110 detects that the air conditioner device is not powered by the mains, the power output circuit 112 will switch to the AC high-impedance circuit 108, so that the power output circuit 112 is connected to transmit the DC power signal, thereby achieving the effect that the air conditioner device can communicate and be powered regardless of whether there is mains power supply. In this way, the phenomenon of the control unit 102 and some action units 104 of the air conditioner device being in an abnormal state due to the lack of mains power can be solved in engineering, so that the air conditioner system can operate stably and reliably.

[0038] On the other hand, as shown in FIG3 , an embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioning control method 200. The air conditioning control method 200 may include the following steps.

[0039] Step 202: Receive the DC power signal in the HBS communication signal superimposed on the DC power signal through the power supply unit 106.

[0040] Step 204: Utilize the power supply unit 106 to detect whether there is a mains power supply.

[0041] Step 206 : When the power supply unit 106 detects that there is no commercial power supply, the power supply unit 106 provides a DC power signal to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 of the air conditioner to power the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 .

[0042] Step 208 : When the power supply unit 106 detects that the mains power is supplied, it cuts off the supply of the DC power signal and supplies the mains power to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 , thereby powering the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 .

[0043] According to the embodiment of the present application as described above, the DC power signal in the DC power signal superimposed on the HBS communication signal can be received by the power supply unit 106, and in actual application, the power supply unit 106 can detect whether there is a mains power supply. When the power supply unit 106 detects that there is no mains power supply, it can provide a DC power signal to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 of the air conditioner to power both, thereby maintaining the normal and stable operation of the control unit 102 and the action unit 104; and when the power supply unit 106 detects that there is a mains power supply, it can directly provide the mains power to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104, thereby powering the control unit 102 and the action unit 104. Thus, the DC power signal is superimposed on the HBS communication signal, and the air conditioner device can communicate and complete related operations whether there is mains power or not.

[0044] During the specific application of the air conditioning control method 200 of the present application, in one embodiment, the step of receiving the DC power signal through the power supply unit 106 may specifically include:

[0045] The AC high-resistance circuit 108 in the power supply unit 106 blocks the HBS communication signal superimposed on the DC power signal and allows the DC power signal therein to pass, thereby achieving the reception of the DC power signal as described above.

[0046] In another embodiment, the step of using the power supply unit 106 to detect whether there is a mains power supply may specifically include:

[0047] The power supply detection circuit 110 in the power supply unit 106 is used to identify whether there is a mains power supply.

[0048] In another embodiment, the step of providing a DC power signal or AC power to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 may specifically include:

[0049] According to the identification result of the power supply detection circuit 110 , the AC power or the DC power signal through the AC high-resistance circuit 108 is provided to the control unit 102 and the action unit 104 through the power output circuit 112 .

[0050] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, the air conditioning control method 200 may further include the following steps:

[0051] The DC power signal passing through the AC high-resistance circuit 108 is identified by the current detection circuit 114 , and in the event of an abnormality, the current detection circuit 114 triggers the power output circuit 112 to cut off the connection between the power output circuit 112 and the AC high-resistance circuit 108 .

[0052] According to the embodiments of the air-conditioning control system 100 and the air-conditioning control method 200 described above, the air-conditioning control system and the corresponding control method provided in the present application can realize the superposition of DC power supply signals based on the HBS communication signal. The air-conditioning equipment can communicate and complete related operations regardless of whether there is AC power, which can effectively realize multi-purpose and reliable use of one line, thereby realizing stable and reliable operation of the air-conditioning equipment.

[0053] Furthermore, the AC high-resistance loop 108 can effectively isolate the HBS communication signal and has no obstruction to the DC power signal, thereby achieving multiple uses of one line.

[0054] Furthermore, current detection circuit 114 can detect abnormalities in the communication line and directly contact power output circuit 112, promptly connecting or switching the connection to AC high-impedance circuit 108. This effectively disconnects the voltage anomaly, thereby protecting control unit 102, action unit 104, and other weak-current components. If the air conditioner experiences an abnormal power outage, control unit 102 can continue to operate, promptly and reliably saving relevant important data and making appropriate adjustments to the air conditioner's action unit 104, thereby improving stability and reliability.

[0055] On the other hand, the embodiment of the present application further provides an air conditioner, which may include the air conditioning control system 100 as described above, or the air conditioner may execute the air conditioning control method 200 as described above during operation. It should be understood that the air conditioning control system and related control methods provided in the embodiment of the present application can be adapted to indoor units, wired controllers, centralized controllers, temperature controllers and other devices of the air conditioner, and the above devices can all achieve communication and power supply effects of the communication wires based on the implementation methods described in the present application. In other words, the specific application devices of the air conditioning control system and the related control methods during application do not constitute any limitation to the present application, which can be determined according to specific circumstances, and the present application is not limited to this.
