Solution Overview

Problem

Existing air conditioning systems face challenges in maintaining parameter settings during motherboard replacement, often resulting in lost or unretrievable historical parameters, which complicates the maintenance process.

Innovation Solution

A parameter backup method for air conditioning units that monitors parameter information in real-time and backs up key parameters when changes occur, facilitating later device maintenance and reducing maintenance pressure.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If real-time monitoring and backup of key parameters is implemented, then parameter retention during motherboard replacement is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter retentionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary backup of key parameters before motherboard replacement occurs. A monitoring module continuously monitors parameter information and automatically backs up key parameters to a preset storage location when changes are detected, ensuring parameters are preserved before any potential motherboard failure or replacement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates copies of key parameter data and stores them in a separate preset storage location (such as a cloud server or external storage device). This copying mechanism ensures that parameter information is preserved independently of the motherboard, allowing recovery even when the original motherboard is replaced.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If automatic backup system is added, then maintenance efficiency is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system provides self-service functionality by automatically monitoring parameter changes and triggering backup operations without requiring user intervention. The monitoring module detects when key parameters change and automatically initiates the backup process to the preset storage location, eliminating the need for manual backup operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the monitoring module continuously checks parameter information and provides feedback when changes are detected. This feedback triggers the backup operation, creating a closed-loop system that automatically responds to parameter changes and ensures timely backup without user intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
