The schematic diagram of the embodiment that Fig. 1 is air-conditioning system;

Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of embodiment that comprises the room layout of air-conditioning system; And

Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of another embodiment that comprises the room layout of air-conditioning system.

Describe by way of example and be explained with reference to the drawings embodiment of the present invention and advantage and feature in detail.

The specific embodiment

Fig. 1 illustrates the illustrative arrangement of a plurality of weather beams 10.Shown in Fig. 1, six weather beams 10, it should be understood that, also can utilize the weather beam 10 of any amount.Weather beam 10 may be operably coupled to electronic controller 12.In the embodiment of Fig. 1, two weather beams 10 are connected to a controller 12, it should be understood that, other embodiment also can comprise the weather beam 10 of other quantity, and for example three weather beams 10 are connected to a controller 12.Each controller 12 comprises two or more sub-controllers 14, and each weather beam 10 all is connected to unique sub-controller 14.The direct control connection of sub-controller 14 is to the operation of its weather beam 10.

This layout comprises one or more user interfaces 16.User interface 16 is connected to controller 12 and allows to carry out user's input, temperature required etc. as for weather beam 10 rooms, place or other space.Controller 12 receives further input, as the CO in room temperature, room ₂Reset in level, set-point, user room and/or set-point, wherein reset and refer to allow to start from the user set-point changed room temperature amount before system is heated or be cooling in set-point.Based on these inputs, controller 12 instructs the operation of weather beam 10, for example, and the unlatching of fresh air damper or close and/or change the current of the valve actuator of the coil by being connected to weather beam 10.

In some embodiments, controller 12 interconnects through communication bus 18, and each sub-controller 14 all is assigned with unique identifier.Interconnecting like this allows in the situation that not mobile weather beam 10 or controller 12 are only reconfigured the space layout that weather beam 10 and controller 12 wherein are installed by sub-controller 14 being programmed again (being described below with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).

With reference to Fig. 2, show the embodiment of room layout.This layout comprises two rooms 20, i.e. the first room 20a and the second room 20b.In this embodiment,

weather beam

10a, 10b and 10c are arranged in room 20a, and

weather beam

10d, 10e and 10f are arranged in room 20b.Weather beam 10a-10f is connected to respectively sub-controller 14a-14f.In this embodiment, each sub-controller 14a-14f receives common input, for example, about outdoor temperature.Yet sub-controller 14 is connected through communication bus 18, therefore to the input of sub-controller 14 (for example, about room temperature and CO ₂Level is equal) be that room is specifically inputted.For example, in the situation that room 20a, by communication bus 18, the specific input in room is guided to sub-controller 14b-14c from sub-controller 14a, in the mode identical with controlling weather beam 10a, control weather beam 10b-10c, this is because sub-controller 14a-14c is identified as in room 20a.In some embodiments, by the temperature sensor 22 and the CO that are arranged in room 20a ₂Sensor 24 provides room specifically to input.Further, the user interface 16 on can a certain concentrated position outside being positioned at 20aZhong Huo room, room 20a provides to sub-controller 14 temperature required.Can find out at an easy rate, identical principle also is suitable for controlling and is arranged in the weather beam 10d-10f of room 20b, and can be extrapolated to the weather beam 10 that is controlled at any amount for example, spread all in space (whole floor or the floor of building).

Interconnecting of carrying out through 18 pairs of sub-controllers of communication bus 14 allows in the situation that without changing or revising weather beam 10 or sub-controller 14 or distribution, room 20 is rearranged.As shown in Figure 3, change room 20a is to comprise weather beam 10a-10d and corresponding sub-controller 14a-14d thereof, and room 20b contains

weather beam

10e and 10f and sub-controller 14e and 14f now.In order suitably to control the environment of room 20a and 20b, only need to change the associated matters of controlling the sub-controller 14 of weather beam 10 with respect to room 20a and 20b, thereby guarantee, for example, present temperature sensor 22 and the CO from being arranged in room 20a of weather beam 10d and sub-controller 14d (it is modified to 20a by room from 20b) ₂ Sensor 24 rather than be arranged in those temperature sensors and the CO of room 20b ₂Sensor receives correct room and specifically inputs.In addition, the user interface 16 that is arranged in room 20a can be associated with weather beam 10d and sub-controller 14d now, and will therefore control its operation.

Although only combine the embodiment of limited quantity, the present invention is described in detail, should understands at an easy rate the present invention and be not limited to disclosed embodiment.On the contrary, the present invention can modify to comprise variation, change, replacement or equivalent arrangements that this paper does not describe but any amount that matches with the spirit and scope of the present invention.In addition, although described various embodiments of the present invention, it being understood that each aspect of the present invention also can only comprise some in described embodiment.Therefore, the present invention should not be considered as limited by above description, but limited by claims.
