Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air conditioning systems face challenges in increasing communication speed while minimizing noise interference in the communication line, which affects the controllability of outdoor and indoor units.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a noise-cut transformer and coupling capacitor to adjust the frequency components of the communication signal, excluding a predetermined frequency band to reduce noise influence, enabling high-speed communication by adjusting the signal level and frequency characteristics.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the communication speed in the air conditioning communication line is increased to improve controllability, then the communication efficiency is improved, but the influence of noise from the inverter circuit becomes larger
Solution Approach 1:
The communication signal is divided into multiple frequency components, and specific frequency bands corresponding to inverter noise are excluded or attenuated. This segmentation allows the system to transmit high-speed communication signals while avoiding the harmful frequency ranges where inverter noise occurs, thereby resolving the contradiction between communication speed and noise interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different signal processing treatments to different frequency components of the communication signal. By adjusting the characteristics of specific frequency bands (particularly those affected by inverter noise) while maintaining other frequency bands, the system achieves high-speed communication in clean frequency ranges while suppressing noise-affected ranges.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the communication line is extended to connect multiple indoor and outdoor units, then the system coverage is improved, but the noise influence on communication signal increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the communication signal into multiple frequency components and excluding noise-affected frequency bands, the system can extend the communication line to connect multiple units without the noise accumulating and degrading the signal quality, thus enabling broader system coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces frequency selection and signal processing mechanisms as intermediaries between the communication signal and the noisy communication line. These intermediaries filter out noise frequencies and preserve the integrity of the communication signal over extended line lengths.
