Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current air-conditioning systems require external measurement equipment and applications to obtain all communication data, making operation checks labor-intensive and slow.
Innovation Solution
An air-conditioning system with a control unit and storage processing device that saves all communication data exchanged between devices, accessible via a network, allowing for centralized data storage and analysis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If external measurement equipment and applications are used to obtain all communication data, then complete data acquisition for system analysis is achieved, but labor requirements increase and check speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The outdoor unit proactively saves all communication data exchanged between communication devices in a storage processing device accessible via network before any analysis is needed. This preliminary data collection eliminates the need for external measurement equipment during checks, allowing service personnel to quickly access complete communication data history through the network, thereby resolving the contradiction between data completeness and check speed
Solution Approach 2:
A storage processing device accessible via network acts as an intermediary between the communication devices and service personnel. This intermediary automatically collects, stores, and provides access to all communication data, replacing the need for external measurement equipment and applications. Service personnel can query this intermediary device through the network to obtain complete communication data instantly, thus improving check speed while maintaining data completeness
2Measurement precision
If external measurement equipment and applications are used to obtain all communication data, then complete data acquisition for system analysis is achieved, but preparation and arrangement require significant labor
Solution Approach 1:
The air-conditioning system performs self-service by automatically saving all communication data exchanged between communication devices in a storage processing device accessible via network. This self-service data collection capability eliminates the need for service personnel to use external measurement equipment and applications, significantly reducing preparation and arrangement labor while ensuring complete data acquisition for system analysis
