and the air conditioner centralized controller 100 is configured to monitor and control the operation of the air conditioner 200 according to the received current environmental data information and the identification information.

The environment information acquisition module adopts a strategy of monitoring reported data at regular time, so that the pressure of system operation can be reduced, and the occupation of network resources is reduced.

The air conditioning system comprises one, two or more air conditioners and one, two or more environment information acquisition modules, but each air conditioner and each environment information acquisition module can not perform wireless short-distance communication, and the air conditioners need to be matched with the corresponding environment information acquisition modules in a networking mode.

The air conditioner 200 is specifically configured to receive the binding request signal, and determine that the signal strength of the wireless short-distance communication signal satisfies the set condition when the signal strength of the binding request signal is greater than the set strength value. Then, the air conditioner 200 transmits the identification information to the current environment information collecting module, so that the current environment information collecting module 300 receives and stores the identification information, and transmits the binding feedback information to the air conditioner 200, thereby networking-matching the air conditioner with the current environment information collecting module 300.

The communication mode of the air conditioner and the air conditioner centralized controller is unchanged, so that the data synchronization of the air conditioner and the air conditioner centralized controller can be stored, and the air conditioner centralized controller can continuously monitor and control the corresponding air conditioner.

After the air conditioning system is assembled, the air conditioner can control the operation of at least one device of the air conditioner according to the acquired current environment data information.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 200 is configured to obtain current environmental data information detected by an environmental information collection module matched with a networking; determining a current control mode matched with the current environment data information; and controlling the operation of the air conditioner in the operation state according to the current control mode.

Preferably, the air conditioner 200 is specifically configured to determine that the heating mode is the current control mode when the current ambient temperature detected by the acquired at least one second ambient information acquisition module is less than the lower limit value of the set temperature range; when the current environment temperature detected by the acquired at least one second environment information acquisition module is greater than the upper limit value of the set temperature range, determining that the refrigeration mode is the current control mode; and when the current environment temperature detected by each second environment information acquisition module is within the set temperature range and the current environment humidity detected by at least one third environment information acquisition module is greater than the set humidity, determining that the dehumidification mode is the current control mode.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner 200 is configured to obtain current environmental data information detected by the environment information acquisition module matched with the networking; when the current environment temperature detected by the acquired second environment information acquisition module is higher than the set temperature, determining the second environment information acquisition module as an environment information acquisition module to be supplied with air; determining the relative position of the air supply environment information acquisition module and the air supply environment information acquisition module; and adjusting an air deflector of the air conditioner in the running state, and carrying out directional air supply to the area matched with the relative position.

The embodiment of the invention is not limited to the above, and the operation start of the air conditioner can be controlled according to the environmental data information. Namely, the air conditioner 200 is configured to start the air conditioner to be in an operating state when the number of human bodies detected by the acquired first environmental information collection module is greater than a set value and the environmental temperature detected by the acquired at least one second environmental information collection module is not within a set temperature range.

Therefore, in the air conditioning system, the air conditioner can adjust the current operation mode of at least one device in the air conditioner according to the environmental information acquired by the environmental information acquisition module, so that the control quality in an action area can be comprehensively detected through the environmental information acquisition module, corresponding air conditioner control can be performed, control optimization and energy conservation of the air conditioner are realized, and the comfort and experience of a user can be further improved.

In the air conditioning system, each element in the air conditioning system needs to be matched in a networking mode.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a component group network matching method in an air conditioning system according to an exemplary embodiment. The air conditioning system may be as described above, and therefore, the components in the air conditioning system include: air conditioner centralized control ware, air conditioner and environmental information collection module, preferably, air conditioning system includes: the air conditioner centralized controller comprises at least one air conditioner and at least one environmental information acquisition module located in each air conditioner action area, wherein the environmental information acquisition modules are in wireless short-distance communication with the corresponding air conditioners and in radio frequency communication with the air conditioner centralized controller. As shown in fig. 2, the process of matching the element group in the air conditioning system includes:

step 201: and when the signal intensity of the wireless short-distance communication signal of the current environment information acquisition module meets the set condition, sending the identity identification information to the current environment information acquisition module.

In the embodiment of the invention, the air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module adopt wireless short-distance communication. The wireless short-distance communication is characterized by poor wall penetration, more distance and low power consumption. Therefore, the air conditioner is generally matched with the environmental information acquisition module in the same room in a networking manner. Also, the distance between the two cannot be too far, for example: and cannot exceed two meters.

In the embodiment of the invention, the environment information acquisition module can be fixedly arranged at a certain position and can also be moved. Of course, the environment information collecting module may be: temperature sensor, humidity transducer, fine particle thing detection device, formaldehyde detection device, human detection sensor, carbon monoxide detect sensor etc..

An environment information acquisition module is additionally arranged in the system and needs to be matched with a corresponding air conditioner in a networking mode. Or, when the system is constructed, the air conditioner also needs to be matched with the environmental information acquisition module in a networking way. The air conditioner can be actively matched with the environmental information acquisition module in a networking mode, and the environmental information acquisition module can also be actively matched in the networking mode. Preferably, the method comprises the following steps: monitoring a wireless short-distance communication signal of a current environment information acquisition module; and when the time that the signal intensity of the wireless short-distance communication signal is greater than the set intensity value is greater than the set time, determining that the signal intensity of the wireless short-distance communication signal meets the set condition.

For example: the mobile current environment information acquisition module is close to a certain air conditioner, the air conditioner can monitor the Bluetooth Signal of the current environment information acquisition module after being generally within 2 meters, and when the Received Signal intensity Indication (Received Signal Strength Indication) of the monitored Bluetooth Signal is greater than-20 dbm and the duration time exceeds 5s, the Signal intensity of the Bluetooth Signal can be confirmed to meet the set condition, so that the air conditioner can send identity identification information, such as ID, to the current environment information acquisition module.

Or, determining that the signal strength of the wireless short-distance communication signal of the current environment information acquisition module meets the set condition may include: receiving a binding request signal sent by a current environment information acquisition module through wireless short-distance communication; and when the signal strength of the binding request signal is greater than the set strength value, determining that the signal strength of the wireless short-distance communication signal meets the set condition.

For example: the mobile current environment information acquisition module is close to a certain air conditioner, and generally within 2 meters, a user can trigger the current environment information acquisition module, so that the current environment information acquisition module sends a binding request signal through Bluetooth communication, and thus, the signal intensity of the Bluetooth signal can be confirmed to meet a set condition only if the signal intensity of the binding request signal is greater than-20 dbm, and the air conditioner can send identity identification information, such as ID, to the current environment information acquisition module.

Step 202: and receiving binding feedback information sent by the current environment information acquisition module after the identity identification information is stored, and networking and matching the binding feedback information with the current environment information acquisition module.

After receiving the identity identification information, the current environment information acquisition module stores the identity identification information and then sends binding feedback information to the air conditioner, namely, the air conditioner is matched with the current environment information acquisition module in a networking mode.

Therefore, after the current environment information acquisition module acquires the environment data information, the environment data information can be sent to the corresponding air conditioner according to the stored identity information.

Certainly, the networking matching method of the air conditioner and the air conditioner centralized controller in the air conditioning system is not changed, that is, the air conditioner adopts a communication bus mode to perform networking matching with the air conditioner centralized controller.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the air conditioner can be matched with the corresponding environmental information acquisition module in a networking mode according to the signal intensity of the wireless short-distance communication signal, so that the networking matching mode is simple and easy to operate, and the efficiency of the air conditioning system architecture is improved.

The air conditioner and the environmental information acquisition module and the air conditioner centralized controller are matched in networking mode, and after an air conditioning system is built, the air conditioner can be specifically controlled according to data transmitted among the environmental information acquisition module, the air conditioner and the air conditioner centralized controller.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a data transmission method in an air conditioning system according to an exemplary embodiment. The air conditioning system may be as described above, i.e. the air conditioning system comprises: the air conditioner centralized controller comprises at least one air conditioner and at least one environmental information acquisition module located in each air conditioner action area, wherein the environmental information acquisition modules are in wireless short-distance communication with the corresponding air conditioners and in radio frequency communication with the air conditioner centralized controller. As shown in fig. 3, the process of data transmission in the air conditioning system includes:

step 301: and when the preset detection time is up, detecting the current environment data information of the area where the networking matched air conditioner is located, and sending the current environment data information to the networking matched air conditioner by adopting wireless short-distance communication.

The detection time can be preset, for example: the environment information acquisition module is used for detecting the current environment data information at preset detection time intervals, and the wireless short-distance communication is adopted to send the current environment data information to the corresponding air conditioner according to the stored air conditioner identity information.

Step 302: and when receiving the receiving confirmation information returned by the air conditioner matched with the networking, sending the current environment data information and the identity information of the air conditioner matched with the networking to the air conditioner centralized controller by adopting radio frequency communication.

After the information is successfully sent to the air conditioner, 2.4GHz radio frequency communication can be adopted to send the current environment data information and the identity information of the air conditioner matched with the networking to the air conditioner centralized controller. Therefore, the air conditioner centralized controller can synchronously correspond to the data information received by the air conditioner, and therefore the monitoring strength of the air conditioner is further enhanced.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the environment information acquisition module can adopt a dual-mode communication mode, and the environment data can be communicated among the environment information acquisition module, the air conditioner and the air conditioner centralized controller. Therefore, power consumption is reduced, frequent change of a communication protocol is avoided, and communication reliability is improved.

Certainly, in the data transmission process, the environmental information collection module needs to be matched with the air conditioner in a networking way, and the data transmission process in the networking matching can include: receiving identity identification information sent by an air conditioner, wherein the identity identification information is sent to a current environment information acquisition module when the air conditioner determines that the signal intensity of a wireless short-distance communication signal of the current environment information acquisition module meets a set condition; and binding feedback information sent after the identity identification information is stored is sent to the air conditioner.

Preferably, when the wireless short-distance communication signal is a binding request signal, the wireless short-distance communication signal is required to send the binding request signal to the air conditioner. Thus, when the air conditioner determines that the signal intensity of the binding request signal is greater than the set intensity value, the air conditioner sends the identity identification information.

In the air conditioning system, after the environmental data information collected by the environmental information collection module, the air conditioner and the transmission environmental information collection module among the air conditioner centralized controller, the operation of at least one device of the air conditioner can be controlled according to the environmental data information.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method in an air conditioning system according to an exemplary embodiment. The air conditioning system may be as described above, i.e. the air conditioning system comprises: the air conditioner centralized controller comprises at least one air conditioner and at least one environmental information acquisition module located in each air conditioner action area, wherein the environmental information acquisition modules are in wireless short-distance communication with the corresponding air conditioners and in radio frequency communication with the air conditioner centralized controller. As shown in fig. 4, the process of air conditioning control in the air conditioning system includes:

step 401: and the air conditioner in the running state acquires the current environmental data information detected by the environment information acquisition module matched with the network.

The air conditioner is in an operating state, that is, the components of the air conditioner and the temperature adjusting function have already started to operate. For example: the compressor is operated. Of course, other devices, solenoid valves, air deflectors, etc. may also be operated, i.e. at least one device associated with the temperature control function of the air conditioner is already operated.

The environmental information acquisition module can detect environmental data information regularly to send the current environmental data information that detects to the air conditioner that has organized the network and matchd through wireless short distance communication. The air conditioner can be matched with one, two or more environment information acquisition modules in a networking mode, and therefore one, two or more pieces of current environment data information can be acquired.

Step 402: a current control mode that matches the current environmental data information is determined.

The current environment data information is one, two or more. For example: the current human body number uploaded by one human body detection module, the current environment humidity uploaded by two humidity sensors, the current environment temperature uploaded by three temperature sensors and the like. Different operation strategies can be configured in advance according to different current environment data information. For example: and when the PM2.5 value uploaded by at least one PM2.5 detection device is greater than the set concentration value, determining that the purification mode is the current control mode.

Preferably, in this embodiment, the first environmental information collection module may be a human body detection module, the second environmental information collection module may be a temperature sensor, and the third environmental information collection module may be a humidity sensor. In this way, when the current environmental temperature detected by the acquired at least one second environmental information acquisition module is smaller than the lower limit value of the set temperature range, the heating mode is determined to be the current control mode; when the current environment temperature detected by the acquired at least one second environment information acquisition module is greater than the upper limit value of the set temperature range, determining that the refrigeration mode is the current control mode; and when the current environment temperature detected by each second environment information acquisition module is within the set temperature range and the current environment humidity detected by at least one third environment information acquisition module is greater than the set humidity, determining that the dehumidification mode is the current control mode.

For example: a set temperature range, (18,26), (15, 25), or (16, 27), etc. may be predetermined, such that if the set temperature range is (18,26), if at least one current ambient temperature is less than 18 ℃, the heating mode is determined to be the current control mode; if at least one current environment temperature is higher than 26 ℃, determining the refrigeration mode as the current control mode; and determining the dehumidification mode as the current control mode if each current ambient temperature is in (18,26) and at least one current ambient humidity is greater than 65%. Of course, if each of the current ambient temperatures is in (18,26) and each of the current ambient humidities is not greater than 65%, then the energy saving mode may be determined as the current control mode.

Different current environment data information has different pre-configured operation strategies, so that the process of determining the current control mode matched with the current environment data information is different, which is not an example.

Step 403: and controlling the operation of the air conditioner according to the current control mode.

Of course, the heating mode, the cooling mode, the dehumidification mode and the operation parameters of the functional devices in the air conditioner are different, that is, the operation of at least one device in the air conditioner can be controlled according to the current control mode.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the air conditioner can adjust the current operating mode of at least one device in the air conditioner according to the environmental information that environmental information collection module gathered to, can detect the control quality in the region of action more comprehensively through environmental information collection module, and can carry out corresponding air conditioner control, realize the control optimization and energy-conservation of air conditioner, and also can further improve user's travelling comfort and experience.

In this embodiment, not only can be controlled to the air conditioner that is in the running state, but also can be controlled to the air conditioner that does not run, further improves the intelligence of air conditioner control to and improve user's experience. The method specifically comprises the following steps: and when the number of the human bodies detected by the acquired first environmental information acquisition module is larger than a set value and the environmental temperature detected by the acquired at least one second environmental information acquisition module is not within a set temperature range, starting the air conditioner to be in an operating state.

Similarly, the environmental data information can be detected by the environmental information acquisition module at regular time, and the detected environmental data information is sent to the air conditioner matched with the networking through wireless short-distance communication. Therefore, if the environment data information monitored by the air conditioner comprises the number of human bodies larger than the set value and the environment temperature which is not within the set temperature range, the air conditioner can be started to be in the running state.

For example: when the number of the human bodies detected by the human body detection module is larger than 0 and the ambient temperature detected by at least one temperature sensor is not in (18,26), the air conditioner can be started to be in the running state.

Of course, before the air conditioner is controlled, the air conditioner needs to be networked and matched with the environmental information collection module, which may include: when the signal intensity of the wireless short-distance communication signal of the current environment information acquisition module meets the set condition, identity identification information is sent to the current environment information acquisition module; and receiving binding feedback information sent by the current environment information acquisition module after the identity identification information is stored, and networking and matching the binding feedback information with the current environment information acquisition module. The networking matching is carried out through the signal intensity, the operation process is simple, and the networking matching efficiency is improved.

In the air conditioning system, the operation mode of the air conditioner can be controlled according to the environmental data information, and the air supply direction of the air conditioner can also be controlled.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an air conditioning control method in an air conditioning system according to an exemplary embodiment. The air conditioning system may be as described above, i.e. the air conditioning system comprises: the air conditioner centralized controller comprises at least one air conditioner and at least one environmental information acquisition module located in each air conditioner action area, wherein the environmental information acquisition modules are in wireless short-distance communication with the corresponding air conditioners and in radio frequency communication with the air conditioner centralized controller. As shown in fig. 5, the process of air conditioning control in the air conditioning system includes:

step 501: and the air conditioner in the running state acquires the current environmental data information detected by the environment information acquisition module matched with the network.

This step is identical to the step 401 process and will not be described again.

Step 502: and when the current environment temperature detected by the acquired second environment information acquisition module is greater than the set temperature, determining the second environment information acquisition module as the to-be-supplied air environment information acquisition module.

One, two or more pieces of current environment data information are acquired. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first environmental information collection module may be a human body detection module, the second environmental information collection module may be a temperature sensor, and the third environmental information collection module may be a humidity sensor. Therefore, when the current environment temperature detected by the acquired second environment information acquisition module is greater than the set temperature, the second environment information acquisition module can be determined as the to-be-supplied air environment information acquisition module. The set temperature may be greater than or equal to the upper limit of the set temperature range, and if the set temperature range is (18,26), the set temperature may be 26, 27, or 28, etc.

For example: and if the current environmental temperature detected by one second environmental information acquisition module is higher than 28 ℃, the second environmental information acquisition module can be determined as the to-be-supplied air environmental information acquisition module. The air supply environment information acquisition module may have one, two or more.

Step 503: and determining the relative position of the module and the environmental information acquisition module to be blown.

There are many ways to determine the relative position of the module to the ambient information about the air to be blown, such as infrared ranging or other ranging sensors. Preferably, the module position distance information can be obtained through short-distance wireless short-distance communication signals.

Specifically, the air conditioner can perform wireless short-distance communication with the environmental information acquisition module, so that the arrival direction information of the wireless short-distance communication signal carrying the current environmental temperature can be determined; then, the relative position of the module for collecting the information of the environment to be blown can be determined by an Angle-of-Arrival (AOV) positioning algorithm according to the information of the direction of Arrival. The AOA positioning algorithm is a common self-positioning algorithm of the wireless sensor network node, and has low algorithm communication overhead and higher positioning precision.

Step 504: and adjusting an air deflector of the air conditioner, and performing directional air supply to the area matched with the relative position.

The air supply environment information acquisition module can be one, two or more, wherein when the air supply environment information acquisition module is one, the air deflector of the air conditioner can be adjusted to directly supply air to the area matched with the relative position of the air supply environment information acquisition module in a directional manner. When two or more than two air supply environment information acquisition modules are adopted, the air deflector of the air conditioner can be adjusted to alternately perform directional air supply to the area matched with the relative position of each air supply environment information acquisition module, or perform directional air supply to the area matched with the relative position of each air supply environment information acquisition module randomly.

Certainly, in this embodiment, there may be zero or no to-be-supplied air environment information acquisition modules, that is, none of the current environment temperatures detected by the second environment information acquisition module is greater than the set temperature, and at this time, the air deflector of the air conditioner may be controlled to swing for adjustment.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the air conditioner can control the air supply direction of the air conditioner according to the environmental information acquired by the environmental information acquisition module and the position information of the environmental information acquisition module, so that the intelligence of the air conditioner is further improved, and the user experience is also improved.

Similarly, in this embodiment, not only the air conditioner in the running state can be controlled, but also the air conditioner not running can be controlled, so that the intelligence of air conditioner control is further improved, and the user experience is improved. The method specifically comprises the following steps: and when the number of the human bodies detected by the acquired first environmental information acquisition module is larger than a set value and the environmental temperature detected by the acquired at least one second environmental information acquisition module is not within a set temperature range, starting the air conditioner to be in an operating state.
