Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a hardware device related to the temperature control method of the present invention. The hardware device related to the temperature control method of the embodiment of the present invention includes, for example: air conditioning equipment 100, server 200, user terminal 300. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a functional block diagram of the air conditioning apparatus of fig. 2. The air conditioning apparatus 100 includes at least a network module 110 and a control device 120, and of course, a temperature adjustment assembly 130. The network module 110 establishes data communication with the server 200 through a network protocol, so as to send a request or an instruction to the server 200, or receive a parameter or a control instruction sent by the server 200. Such as internet of things protocol, etc. The control device 120 includes, for example, an electronic controller, which can control the operation of the temperature adjustment assembly 130 according to its own control logic. Of course, if the network module 110 receives the temperature control parameter or the temperature control instruction sent by the server and transmits the received temperature control parameter or the received temperature control instruction to the control device 120, the control device 120 may also control the temperature adjustment component 130 according to the temperature control parameter or the temperature control instruction received by the network module 110, so as to adjust the indoor environment temperature.

The air conditioning apparatus 100 described above includes, for example, an air conditioner or a fan having a temperature adjusting function. If the air conditioning apparatus 100 includes an air conditioner, the temperature adjustment assembly includes, for example, a compressor, a heat exchanger, a fan, and the like. If the air conditioning apparatus 100 includes a fan having a temperature adjusting function, the temperature adjusting assembly includes, for example, an ice bank, a heat exchanger, a blower, and the like.

The server 200 is, for example, a single server, or a server group composed of a plurality of servers, for example, a server corresponding to the air conditioning equipment, and a server corresponding to other different applications. In addition, in addition to implementing control of the air conditioning apparatus 100, the server 200 may acquire upload data of the air conditioning apparatus 100, such as operation data, operation parameters, environmental parameters of the air conditioning apparatus 100, and an operation state of the air conditioning apparatus 100, and the like. The server 200 analyzes the history data of each air conditioning device 100 to obtain necessary information to improve the control effect of the air conditioning device.

The user terminal 300 is an electronic device having a control function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an IPad, and a smart watch. The user terminal 300 is installed with an application having a control function, and after the user terminal 300 establishes a connection with an application server, an instruction can be sent to the application server by using the application, and the air conditioning apparatus 100 is controlled by an air conditioning apparatus server associated with the application server. It should be noted that, if the air conditioning apparatus is provided with a function of installing an application program and performing network control, the air conditioning apparatus may be the user terminal 300.

Taking the air conditioning equipment 100 as an air conditioner as an example, taking an application program as an example of an instant messaging APP, wherein the instant messaging APP is implemented in advance between an instant messaging server and the air conditioning server, the user account of the instant messaging APP is associated with the user account of the air conditioner, when a user triggers an opening instruction through the instant messaging APP, the opening instruction is sent to the instant messaging server firstly, and the opening instruction is sent to the air conditioning server through the pre-implemented association relation, so that the air conditioning server sends the opening instruction to the air conditioning equipment corresponding to the user account of the air conditioner, and the air conditioning equipment 100 is controlled to be started.

Taking the air conditioning equipment 100 as an air conditioner as an example, taking an application program as an air conditioner APP as an example, the air conditioner APP triggers an opening instruction through the air conditioner APP through the association between the user account of the air conditioner APP and the air conditioning equipment in the air conditioner server, the opening instruction is sent to the air conditioner server, and the air conditioner server sends the opening instruction to the air conditioning equipment corresponding to the user account of the air conditioner APP through the pre-realized association relationship.

Further, in the user terminal 300, a user account of an application may control at least one air conditioning device. The user account of one application may correspond to at least one comfortable temperature zone, and when the user terminal 300 is used to perform temperature control, if the user account corresponds to multiple comfortable temperature zones, the corresponding relationship between the comfortable temperature zone and the air conditioning equipment needs to be set, and the operation of the air conditioning equipment corresponding to the comfortable temperature zone is controlled based on the comfortable temperature zone. In an embodiment, the correspondence between the user account number of the user terminal 300 and the comfort temperature zone and the air conditioning equipment is further stored in the server 200.

Further, the comfort temperature zone in the embodiment of the present invention may be stored in the server 200, and may also be stored in the air-conditioning apparatus 100. When the comfortable temperature zone is stored in the server 200, and temperature control is performed, the server 200 generates a corresponding control instruction according to the comfortable temperature zone, and transmits the control instruction to the air conditioning equipment 100 to control operation of the air conditioning equipment, so that the current indoor ambient temperature is between an upper temperature limit value and a lower temperature limit value. Of course, the server 200 may also transmit the comfort parameter corresponding to the time information in the comfort temperature zone to the air conditioning apparatus 100, and the air conditioning apparatus 100 controls the current indoor ambient temperature to be between the upper temperature limit value and the lower temperature limit value according to the comfort parameter. The technical scheme enables the temperature control to be located at the server 200 side, thereby simplifying the control of the air conditioning equipment and reducing the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning equipment. In addition, a comfortable temperature zone is located in the server 200, and parameters of the comfortable temperature zone can be conveniently set and updated.

When the comfort temperature zone is stored in the air conditioning apparatus 100, the control device 120 of the air conditioning apparatus 100 includes, for example, a processor, a memory, and a temperature control program stored on the memory, the temperature control program including the comfort temperature zone and control logic for performing control according to the comfort temperature zone. That is, the temperature control program is executed by the processor, so that the operation of the temperature adjustment assembly 130 is controlled according to the comfort parameter corresponding to the time information in the comfort temperature zone, so that the current indoor ambient temperature is between the upper temperature limit and the lower temperature limit. In this way, local control of the air conditioning equipment is achieved, i.e. the temperature control can also be achieved without networking the air conditioning equipment. In addition, the air conditioning device 100 can update the comfort temperature zone in an upgrading manner when being networked.

In an embodiment, the comfort temperature zone includes comfort parameters corresponding to a plurality of time information in a time period, that is, an upper temperature limit value and a lower temperature limit value. The time period may include hours, days, weeks, etc. In one embodiment, the time information is a discrete value, so the comfort temperature zone is set as the corresponding relationship between each time information and the comfort parameter. When the comfort parameters are to be acquired and the temperature is controlled, the corresponding relation is searched according to the current time, and the comfort parameters corresponding to the current time are acquired. Therefore, the setting of the comfortable temperature area is simple, and the comfortable parameters can be quickly acquired. If there is no time information that is the same as the current time, the comfort parameter corresponding to the time information that is the closest to the current time may be acquired.

In another embodiment, the time information is a continuous value, so that the comfort temperature zone is configured with two continuous lines, i.e. the upper temperature limit corresponding to the continuous time forms an upper temperature limit curve, and the lower temperature limit corresponding to the continuous time forms a lower temperature limit curve. And when the comfort parameters are to be acquired and the temperature is controlled, acquiring the comfort parameters corresponding to the current time according to the upper temperature limit curve and the lower temperature limit curve. Therefore, the comfortable parameters can be acquired more accurately.

Further, the comfortable temperature zone is correspondingly set according to different user types and/or different climatic characteristics. The user types comprise user information and user geographical positions, for example, the comfort feeling of different user types to the temperature is different, and the corresponding comfort temperature is different under different climatic characteristics. Therefore, the corresponding comfortable temperature areas are set according to different types and/or climatic characteristics, and the comfortable requirements of people can be met.

When the comfortable temperature area is set corresponding to the climate characteristic, the corresponding comfortable parameter is set according to different climate characteristic intervals and different time values in the different climate characteristic intervals. The climate characteristics include, for example, one or more of a weather parameter, an ambient temperature parameter, an ambient humidity parameter, an air quality parameter, and the like. The climate characteristic interval is divided according to at least one of the climate characteristics.

In one embodiment, the user terminal installed with the application program can realize temperature control of one or more air conditioning devices by connecting with the server corresponding to the air conditioning device. Accordingly, the user terminal installed with the application program can perform the synchronous control of the comfort temperature zone between different air-conditioning apparatuses.

Specifically, the embodiment of the invention provides a temperature control method. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a temperature control method according to an embodiment of the invention. The temperature control method comprises the following steps:

s21, after synchronous control is started, a comfortable temperature area of the current air conditioning equipment and target air conditioning equipment are obtained;

and S22, sending the comfortable temperature zone of the current air conditioning equipment to the target air conditioning equipment, and enabling the target air conditioning equipment and the current air conditioning equipment to perform synchronous control according to the comfortable temperature zone.

In this embodiment, the current air conditioning equipment may be the air conditioning equipment that starts the synchronous control, or the air conditioning equipment that is currently operating. According to the embodiment of the invention, through the characteristic that the same user terminal correspondingly controls a plurality of air conditioning equipment, when the user terminal controls a comfortable temperature area of certain air conditioning equipment, the comfortable temperature area can be synchronized to other air conditioning equipment, so that the synchronous control of the plurality of air conditioning equipment is realized, the operation of a user is facilitated, and the comfort requirement of the user is met.

Further, the current air conditioning equipment and the target air conditioning equipment are air conditioning equipment corresponding to the same user. Before synchronous control is realized, a plurality of air conditioning devices are in corresponding relation with a user terminal.

Further, the synchronization control function may be activated by using a synchronization function key provided on a control interface of the user terminal.

The synchronous control function of the comfortable temperature zone is added on the user terminal installed with the application program, for example, the virtual key of the comfortable temperature zone is clicked, and then the synchronous control of the comfortable temperature zone is started. It should be noted that a certain air conditioning apparatus may be selected to be controlled synchronously, or a plurality of air conditioning apparatuses may be selected to be controlled synchronously. Specifically, after the virtual key is clicked, a synchronous control interface is popped up, the same group of air conditioning equipment is displayed for selection of a user, and a corresponding synchronous control instruction is generated according to the air conditioning equipment selected by the user, wherein the synchronous control instruction comprises a target air conditioning equipment and a comfortable temperature zone.

Furthermore, the synchronous control function can generate synchronous control starting reminding to remind the user terminal to start the synchronous control when the user terminal controls the comfortable temperature area of the air conditioning equipment; and when receiving the starting confirmation instruction, starting synchronous control.

Correspondingly, the embodiment of the invention also provides a temperature control method. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a temperature control method according to another embodiment of the invention. The temperature control method comprises the following steps:

s31, receiving a synchronous control instruction sent by external equipment according to synchronous control, wherein the synchronous control instruction comprises a comfortable temperature zone;

s32, controlling the operation of the air conditioning equipment according to the comfortable temperature zone to make the indoor temperature in the comfortable temperature zone; the comfortable temperature zone is a comfortable temperature zone corresponding to the other air conditioning equipment.

The current air conditioning equipment receives a synchronous control instruction sent by the external equipment according to the synchronous control, and the current air conditioning equipment is operated according to a comfortable temperature zone in the synchronous control instruction. Since the comfort temperature zone is the same when the current air conditioning device and the other air conditioning device are operating, synchronous control of the comfort temperature zone can be achieved when the air conditioning devices are controlled according to the comfort temperature zone.

Further, step S31 is followed by: judging whether a confirmation instruction of synchronous control is received; when the confirmation instruction of the synchronization control is received, step S32 is executed.

When the synchronous control is exited, the current air conditioning equipment operates according to the own comfortable temperature zone. Of course, if there is no corresponding comfort temperature zone in the target air conditioning device, the synchronously controlled comfort temperature zone may also be set as the comfort temperature zone corresponding to the target air conditioning device, that is, the air conditioning device server sets the corresponding relationship between the synchronously controlled comfort temperature zone and the target air conditioning device.

It should be noted that the synchronous control here does not mean that the control processes between the two air-conditioning apparatuses are synchronized, but means that the two air-conditioning apparatuses are identical in control rule according to the comfort temperature zone control.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a detailed flowchart of step S32 in fig. 5. In fig. 6, step S32 includes:

s321, obtaining a comfort parameter corresponding to the current time information, wherein the comfort parameter comprises a temperature upper limit value and a temperature lower limit value;

s322, acquiring the current indoor environment temperature;

and S323, when the current indoor environment temperature is smaller than the lower temperature limit value or larger than the upper temperature limit value, setting a new indoor target temperature as a temperature value in the comfortable temperature zone or setting a new indoor target temperature according to the current indoor target temperature so as to enable the indoor environment temperature to be in the comfortable temperature zone.

In one aspect, the new indoor target temperature set as described above is between an upper temperature limit and a lower temperature limit. For example 1/2 for the sum of the upper temperature limit and the lower temperature limit. By resetting the indoor target temperature, the indoor ambient temperature gradually returns to the comfortable temperature zone after the air conditioning equipment operates according to the indoor target temperature. Of course, the new indoor target temperature of the setting may be the upper temperature limit value or the lower temperature limit value.

Taking the indoor environment temperature as an example of a comfort parameter, when the current indoor environment temperature is less than the lower temperature limit value, the current indoor target temperature is greater than the lower temperature limit value, so that the processing is not performed, when the indoor environment temperature rises back and is about to reach the upper temperature limit value of the comfort temperature zone, the indoor target temperature is set, and the indoor target temperature is set as a temperature value in the comfort temperature zone. Therefore, not only can the operation be saved, but also the waste of resources is avoided.

In another mode, in step S323, the step of setting a new indoor target temperature according to the current indoor target temperature to make the indoor environment temperature within the comfortable temperature zone specifically includes:

when the current indoor environment temperature is smaller than the lower temperature limit value, judging whether the current indoor target temperature is smaller than or equal to the lower temperature limit value;

and when the current indoor target temperature is less than or equal to the lower temperature limit value, setting the new indoor target temperature to be positioned in the comfortable temperature zone.

When the current indoor target temperature is greater than the lower temperature limit value, processing is not performed until the indoor environment temperature is about to reach the upper temperature limit value, and a new indoor target temperature is set to be located in the comfort zone.

In addition, in step S323, the step of setting a new indoor target temperature according to the current indoor target temperature to make the indoor environment temperature within the comfortable temperature zone may further include:

when the current indoor environment temperature is greater than the upper temperature limit value, judging whether the current indoor target temperature is greater than or equal to the upper temperature limit value;

when the current indoor target temperature is greater than or equal to the upper temperature limit value, setting a new indoor target temperature to be located in the comfortable temperature zone;

when the current indoor target temperature is smaller than the upper temperature limit value, the processing is not carried out at first until the indoor environment temperature is about to reach the lower temperature limit value, and the new indoor target temperature is set to be located in the comfortable area.

Taking the indoor environment temperature as an example of a comfort parameter, when the current indoor environment temperature is greater than the upper temperature limit value, the current indoor target temperature is less than the upper temperature limit value, so that the processing is not performed, when the indoor environment temperature is reduced and is about to reach the lower temperature limit value of the comfort temperature zone, the indoor target temperature is set, and the indoor target temperature is set to be the temperature value in the comfort temperature zone. Therefore, not only can the operation be saved, but also the waste of resources is avoided.

When the control is performed according to the comfortable temperature zone, when the current indoor environment temperature is between the upper temperature limit value and the lower temperature limit value, the current operation state of the air conditioning equipment can be maintained. Or the fluctuation control of the indoor ambient temperature of the air conditioning apparatus. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

in one mode, when the current indoor ambient temperature is between the upper temperature limit and the lower temperature limit, the new indoor target temperature is set as a random value in the comfort temperature zone, and the random value is between the upper temperature limit and the lower temperature limit.

By the random number generation mechanism, at each setting, a random value located within the comfortable temperature zone is generated, and the generated random value is set as a new indoor target temperature.

In another mode, when the current indoor ambient temperature is between the upper temperature limit value and the lower temperature limit value, a new indoor target temperature is set according to a preset interval time, and the continuously set new indoor target temperature is a fluctuating value.

In this embodiment, two temperature values, Tmax and Tmin, are set, for example. Judging 1/2 whether the indoor environment temperature of the user is larger than or smaller than the sum of the upper temperature limit value and the lower temperature limit value during the first control, and setting a new indoor target temperature as Tmax when the indoor environment temperature is larger than 1/2 of the sum of the upper temperature limit value and the lower temperature limit value; when the indoor ambient temperature is less than 1/2, which is the sum of the upper temperature limit and the lower temperature limit, the new indoor target temperature is set to Tmin. In the first control, the indoor target temperature may be set to Tmax or Tmin. During the current control, if the indoor target temperature set during the last control is Tmax, the indoor target temperature set during the current control is Tmin; if the indoor target temperature set in the last control is Tmin, the indoor target temperature set in the current control is Tmax. And by analogy, the continuously set new indoor target temperature is a fluctuation value, and the temperature fluctuation control in the comfortable temperature zone is realized.

It should be noted that, according to the comfort temperature region, a comfort parameter corresponding to each time information may also be obtained, and a comfort temperature corresponding to the current time information may be determined according to the comfort parameter, for example, 1/2 that is the sum of the upper temperature limit and the lower temperature limit. And when the temperature fluctuation control in the comfortable temperature zone is carried out, carrying out small-range fluctuation control near the comfortable temperature corresponding to the current time information.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the temperature fluctuation control in the comfortable temperature area is adopted, so that the temperature fluctuation requirements of users, especially at night, can be met, and the comfort requirements of more people can be met.

The scheme for setting the comfort temperature zone is explained in detail below.

In one embodiment, the comfortable temperature zone sets the corresponding relationship between the time information and the comfortable parameters by receiving a setting instruction. The setting instruction is triggered by the user through the user terminal 300, for example, and specifically, the user performs setting of comfort parameters on the user terminal 300 corresponding to the time information. Or displaying two default lines on a setting interface of the user terminal 300, and adjusting comfortable parameter values on the lines in a single-point dragging or integral dragging manner to finally generate a comfortable temperature zone.

In one embodiment, the comfort temperature zone is set by recommendation information including a comfort temperature zone generated according to the user's air conditioning equipment history data. The history data here includes, for example, at least one of an operation parameter of the air conditioning apparatus, a user operation data, an environmental parameter of a location where the air conditioning apparatus is located, a user type parameter, and the like. The method comprises the steps of analyzing historical data of the air conditioning equipment of at least one user, generating a corresponding comfortable temperature zone, and generating corresponding recommendation information based on the comfortable temperature zone.

Comfortable temperature zone recommendation example one

In this example, the recommendation information includes a comfort temperature zone generated based on the air conditioning apparatus history data of different user types. The user type for example comprises user information and/or user geographical location, etc. The user information includes sex, age, physical condition, and the like. The server 200 generates a comfortable temperature zone corresponding to the user type by acquiring the historical data of each air conditioning device connected thereto, grouping the acquired historical data according to different user types, and analyzing the historical data of the air conditioning device corresponding to the user in each user group.

When the air conditioning equipment operates for temperature adjustment, the server 200 identifies the user type corresponding to the air conditioning equipment, acquires a comfortable temperature zone of a user group to which the user type belongs, and sends recommendation information including the comfortable temperature zone to the air conditioning equipment for the air conditioning equipment to confirm. And if the recommendation information comprises a plurality of comfortable temperature zones, selecting and confirming. The server 200 sets the correspondence between the confirmed comfort temperature zone and the air conditioning device according to the confirmation of the air conditioning device. Or the server corresponding to the air conditioning equipment sends the confirmed comfortable temperature zone to the air conditioning equipment according to the confirmation of the air conditioning equipment, so that the air conditioning equipment can carry out temperature regulation according to the comfortable temperature zone, and the indoor environment temperature is in the upper temperature limit value and the lower temperature limit value. Or, the server corresponding to the air conditioning equipment not only sets the corresponding relation between the comfortable temperature zone and the air conditioning equipment, but also sends the confirmed comfortable temperature zone to the air conditioning equipment according to the confirmation of the air conditioning equipment.

It should be noted that the sharing of the comfort temperature zone may be selected to be shared by a single friend user, or may be selected to be shared by a plurality of friend users at the same time. Specifically, after the virtual key is clicked, a friend list is popped up for the user to select. Or clicking the virtual key in the chat interface of a friend or a group of friends, so that the comfortable temperature zone of the current user can be shared to the friend or the group of friends. Further, if there are multiple comfortable temperature zones of the current user, the comfortable temperature zones can be set to share the default setting, or a list of comfortable temperature zones is output for the user to select.

When the instant communication target user receives the sharing instruction, the instant communication target user can choose to accept sharing or choose to refuse sharing. When the sharing is selected, the instant communication server sends the sharing information containing the target user information and the comfortable temperature zone to the server corresponding to the air conditioning equipment. At this time, the server corresponding to the air conditioning device sets the correspondence between the target user and the comfortable temperature zone according to the shared information. If the target user already has a comfortable temperature zone, adding the comfortable temperature zone into a comfortable temperature zone list of the target user; and if the target user does not have a comfortable temperature zone, adding the target user and the comfortable temperature zone corresponding to the target user.

In addition, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic flowchart illustrating another detailed flow of the sharing step of the comfort temperature zone in the temperature control method according to an embodiment of the invention.
