Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of centralized control in multi-split air conditioning systems, particularly in commercial settings, is hindered by complex wiring for wired communication and debugging processes for wireless communication, which are further destabilized by intricate indoor building structures.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a debugging terminal to acquire an outdoor unit's identification code, send acquisition requests to a cloud server, create projects based on received system information, generate delivery codes, and enable centralized control devices to activate projects without the need for communication wiring or network debugging, simplifying the management and supervision of multi-split air conditioning systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If wired communication is used for centralized control, then control reliability is improved, but wiring complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical wiring system with a wireless communication system. The centralized control device communicates with outdoor and indoor units through wireless signals (WiFi, Bluetooth, or mobile network), eliminating the need for physical wiring between components while maintaining control functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a cloud server as an intermediary between the centralized control device and the air conditioning units. The control device sends instructions to the cloud server, which then relays them to the appropriate outdoor or indoor units, simplifying the direct communication requirements and reducing wiring complexity.
2Device complexity
If wireless communication is used for centralized control, then wiring complexity is reduced, but debugging complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary binding between the centralized control device and air conditioning units during the installation phase. The debug terminal binds device identifiers to unit identifiers in advance, storing these relationships in the cloud server. This preliminary action eliminates the need for complex debugging procedures later, as the system is pre-configured to recognize and communicate with the correct units.
3Device complexity
If wireless communication is used for centralized control, then wiring complexity is reduced, but communication stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The cloud server acts as a stable intermediary that receives control instructions from the centralized control device and relays them to the appropriate air conditioning units. This mediator approach provides multiple communication paths and handles signal routing, improving overall communication stability despite the wireless medium's inherent vulnerabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the cloud server confirms receipt of instructions and units confirm execution status. This feedback loop allows the system to detect and potentially retransmit lost or erroneous signals, enhancing communication reliability in the wireless environment.
