Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air-conditioning light-emitting systems lack the ability to efficiently control multiple light emitting units in conjunction with air-conditioning units, leading to inefficiencies in lighting and temperature control within a space.
Innovation Solution
An air-conditioning light-emitting system comprising multiple air-conditioning units and light emitting units connected via communication means, allowing for coordinated control of lighting and temperature through a control unit, eliminating the need for direct connections between light emitting units and providing power supply from air-conditioning units.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If light emitting units are directly connected to each other for control, then control capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces air conditioning units as intermediary devices that relay control signals between the controller and light emitting units. The controller communicates with air conditioning units, which then communicate with connected light emitting units, eliminating the need for direct connections between all light emitting units while maintaining full control capability.
2Reliability
If separate power sources are provided for light emitting units, then power supply reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the power supply function into the existing air conditioning units. The air conditioning units that already operate in the space are utilized to provide power to the light emitting units, eliminating the need for separate power sources while maintaining reliable power supply through the established air conditioning infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The air conditioning units are given a dual function: they continue to provide air conditioning while simultaneously serving as power supply units for the light emitting units. This multi-functionality reduces overall system complexity by eliminating dedicated power supply components.
3Measurement precision
If multiple communication lines are installed for controlling light emitting units, then control precision is improved, but installation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The air conditioning units serve as communication intermediaries that relay control signals between the controller and light emitting units. This approach maintains precise control capability while utilizing existing communication infrastructure of the air conditioning system, thereby avoiding the need to install separate dedicated communication lines for lighting control.
