Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present disclosure is further described in detail by the accompanying drawings and examples.
A flowchart of one embodiment of an air conditioning control method of the present disclosure is shown in fig. 1.
In step 101, the unit control node obtains temperature detection data through its own sensing device, or receives temperature detection data reported from each air conditioning unit. In some embodiments, the unit control node itself may also be an air conditioning unit. In some embodiments, one or more air conditioners may be selected as a unit control node from among air conditioning units having the same zone of action. In some embodiments, the air conditioning units may be networked and debugged in advance according to the installation condition of the air conditioner, and it is determined that the communication state between each air conditioning unit and the unit control node is normal. In some embodiments, the communication connection may be accomplished by using a wireless mode such as WiFi, bluetooth, infrared or Zigbee, or a wired communication mode.
In some embodiments, the air conditioning unit can track the human body position through modes such as infrared sensing, thereby accurately identifying the human body position and the temperature of the region where the human body is located, further improving the accuracy of temperature detection of the region which can be sensed by the human body, and improving the user experience while reducing the energy consumption.
In step 102, the controlled air conditioning unit is selected according to the user configuration parameters and the temperature detection data of the overlapping coverage area between the units, and the control strategy is determined. In some embodiments, the unit control node may select the number of air conditioning units to be conditioned and the conditioning strategy for each conditioned air conditioning unit.
In some embodiments, each air conditioner can add position information into the temperature detection data based on a detection position of a pre-configured detector, and the unit control node can determine the overlapping coverage area by matching the position information in the temperature detection data, and further determine which air conditioner or air conditioners can be controlled to realize temperature adjustment of the overlapping coverage area according to the coverage area of each air conditioner.
In some embodiments, the regulation strategy determined according to the temperature detection data and the user configuration parameters may include one or more of regulation effective time, blowing mode, angle, temperature or rotation speed of the regulated air conditioning unit.
In step 103, the control strategy is sent to the corresponding air conditioning unit.
By the method, the unit control node can obtain the temperature detection data of a plurality of air conditioners, select the air conditioner units to be regulated and controlled according to the overlapping coverage area and generate corresponding regulation and control strategies, so that the air conditioner control accuracy is improved, the temperature overshoot of the overlapping area caused by the repeated regulation of the air conditioner units in the same area is avoided, and the user experience is ensured; repeated adjustment caused by over adjustment can be avoided, and the burden of air conditioner adjustment is reduced.

Each unit control node can control one or more air conditioning units, and the sum of the coverage area of the unit control node as the air conditioning unit and the coverage areas of other air conditioning units controlled by the unit control node is used as the coverage area of the unit control node, so that the coverage areas of the unit control nodes may overlap.

In some embodiments, if the difference between the temperature detection data and the target temperature preset by the user is large, a plurality of air conditioning units covering the area can be scheduled; if the difference is smaller, one air conditioning unit can be scheduled. In some embodiments, if the mode preset by the user is quick adjustment, multiple air conditioning units may be scheduled; if the mode preset by the user is slow adjustment, only one air conditioning unit can be scheduled.
In step 402, one or more air conditioning units are selected from the air conditioning units covering the overlapping coverage area based on the distance between the outlets of the air conditioning units and the overlapping coverage area, or a predetermined priority of the air conditioning units.
