Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

An embodiment of the present application provides a control method, as shown in fig. 1, applied to a target slave air conditioner, the method including the steps of:

and step 101, detecting the environmental parameters of the current environment of the target slave air conditioning equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target slave air conditioner refers to an air conditioner that can be conveniently moved, wherein the conveniently moved operation includes passive movement operations such as the air conditioner moving actively by itself or the user moving. The target slave air conditioning equipment can detect the environmental parameters of the current environment of the target slave air conditioning equipment through various sensors and/or cameras and other devices, and the corresponding environmental parameters comprise at least one of the following parameters: temperature parameters, humidity parameters, the number of users, the size of the space in which the space is located, and the like.

And 102, sending the environmental parameters to the target master air conditioning equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, the target master air conditioner refers to an installed air conditioner that cannot be moved, and may be, for example, a cabinet air conditioner and/or a wall-mounted air conditioner. The slave air conditioning units may be in a one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many relationship with the master air conditioning unit. The slave air conditioner and the master air conditioner part can realize communication through a special communication channel, or can realize communication through a shared communication channel, and can be in a wired communication mode or a wireless communication mode, wherein the communication mode comprises the following steps: the communication system may be, for example, a bluetooth communication system, an infrared communication system, a ZigBee (ZigBee) communication system, or the like.

And step 103, receiving a target control message sent by the target master air conditioner.

Wherein the target control message is obtained by the target master air conditioning unit based on the environmental parameter.

In the embodiment of the present application, the relationship between the target slave air conditioner and the target master air conditioner is a relationship that the target master air conditioner can manage the target slave air conditioner, and the target slave air conditioner and the target master air conditioner are in a communication connection state. The target control message is obtained by the target master air conditioner according to the environmental parameter sent by the target slave air conditioner, for example, when the target slave air conditioner detects that the environmental parameter of the current environment is the environmental temperature, if the target master air conditioner determines that the environmental temperature of the current environment of the target slave air conditioner is higher than a certain value, the target master air conditioner generates a target control instruction for controlling the target slave air conditioner to start the cooling mode.

And 104, detecting the current working state of the target slave air conditioning equipment.

In this embodiment of the application, the current operating state of the target slave air conditioning device includes a current operating state and a current non-operating state, the current operating state includes a current cooling mode or a current heating mode, and the current non-operating state means that the target slave air conditioning device is not in the cooling mode or the heating mode, that is, the target slave air conditioning device may be in an off mode or a standby mode. It should be noted that, when the slave air conditioner is in the shutdown mode or the standby mode, the communication module communicating with the master air conditioner may always receive and transmit messages, so that the master air conditioner manages and controls the target slave air conditioner.

And 105, if the current working state is matched with the target working state corresponding to the target control message, continuously maintaining the current working state.

In this embodiment, the matching of the current working state and the target working state corresponding to the target control message means that the current working state is consistent with the target working state, for example, when the current working state is a cooling mode, the target working state matched with the current working state is also a cooling mode.

And 106, responding to the target control message, and sending a first feedback message to the target master control air conditioning equipment.

The first feedback message is used for indicating the target slave air conditioner to keep the current working state.

In this embodiment, after determining to continue to maintain the current operating state, the target slave air conditioner sends, in response to the target control message, a first feedback message for feeding back the target master air conditioner to maintain the current operating state to the target master air conditioner, so that the target master air conditioner knows that the target master air conditioner has performed a corresponding operation and is not disconnected. In some special cases, after the target slave air conditioner receives the target control message, after performing an operation corresponding to the target control message, there may be a possibility that the first feedback message is not transmitted to the target master air conditioner due to a failure problem. However, in some cases, the target slave air conditioner may not send the first feedback message to the target master air conditioner while maintaining the current operating state, and the target master air conditioner detects the target slave air conditioner by sending another message for checking whether the target slave air conditioner is disconnected.

In the embodiment of the application, after the target slave air conditioner detects the environmental parameters of the current environment of the target slave air conditioner, the environmental parameters are sent to the target master air conditioner, the target control message sent by the target master air conditioner is received, then the current working state of the target slave air conditioner is detected, if the current working state is matched with the target working state corresponding to the target control message, the current working state is continuously kept, the target control message is responded, and the first feedback message is sent to the target master air conditioner.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method, as shown in fig. 2, the method is applied to a target master air conditioner, and the method includes the following steps:

and step 201, receiving the environmental parameters sent by the target slave air conditioning equipment.

In the embodiment of the application, after the target slave air conditioner detects the environmental parameters of the current environment where the target slave air conditioner is located, the detected environmental parameters are sent to the target master air conditioner, and the target master air conditioner receives the environmental parameters sent by the target slave air conditioner.

Step 202, generating a target control message based on the environmental parameter.

The target control message is used for controlling the target slave air conditioner to switch the current working state into a target working state corresponding to the target control message.

In the embodiment of the application, the target master air conditioner analyzes the environmental parameters sent by the target slave air conditioner, and determines to obtain the target control message corresponding to the target slave air conditioner. In some cases, after the target master air conditioning device receives the environmental parameter, the generated target control message may be null, i.e., the target control message is not generated.

And step 203, sending the target control message to the target slave air conditioner.

In the embodiment of the application, the target master air conditioner sends the target control message to the target slave air conditioner to realize management control on the target slave air conditioner.

In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the environmental parameters sent by the target slave air-conditioning equipment, the target control message is generated based on the environmental parameters, and the target control message is sent to the target slave air-conditioning equipment, the target master air-conditioning equipment manages and controls the target slave air-conditioning equipment according to the environmental parameters fed back by the target slave air-conditioning equipment, so that the problem that the indoor fixedly-installed air-conditioning equipment and the slave indoor air-conditioning equipment cannot be effectively controlled at present is solved, the method for effectively controlling the indoor fixedly-installed air-conditioning equipment and the slave indoor air-conditioning equipment is realized, and the functions of the indoor fixedly-installed air-conditioning equipment are effectively enriched by randomly placing the slave indoor air-conditioning equipment.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method, as shown in fig. 3, including the following steps:

step 301, the target slave air conditioner detects an environmental parameter of an environment where the target slave air conditioner is currently located.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the target slave air conditioner detects an environmental parameter of an environment where the target slave air conditioner is currently located, the environmental parameter may be at least one of the following parameters: the temperature parameter Of the current environment can be acquired by an environment temperature sensor arranged on the target slave air conditioning equipment, the number Of users in the current environment can be acquired by an image acquisition unit arranged on the target slave air conditioning equipment, such as a camera and a Time Of Flight (TOF) sensor, and the like, and the body temperature information Of the users can be acquired by an infrared sensor and the like.

Step 302, the target slave air conditioning device sends the environmental parameters to the target master air conditioning device.

And step 303, the target master air conditioner receives the environmental parameters sent by the target slave air conditioner.

Step 304, the target master air conditioning unit generates a target control message based on the environmental parameters.

Step 305, the target master air conditioner sends a target control message to the target slave air conditioner.

And step 306, the target slave air conditioner receives the target control message sent by the target master air conditioner.

And 307, detecting the current working state of the target slave air conditioner by the target slave air conditioner.

And 308, if the current working state is matched with the target working state corresponding to the target control message, the target slave air conditioning equipment continuously keeps the current working state.

Step 309, the target slave air conditioner responds to the target control message and sends a first feedback message to the target master air conditioner.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments of the present application, step 308 may be implemented by steps 308a to 308 c:

step 308a, if a target control message sent by at least one target master air conditioner is received, the target slave air conditioner determines an execution priority order of each target control message to obtain at least one execution priority order.

In this embodiment, the slave air conditioner may establish a communication connection with multiple target master air conditioners at the same time, that is, the slave air conditioner may receive a target control message sent by at least one master air conditioner at the same time. Therefore, when the target slave air conditioner receives the target control messages sent by the at least one target master air conditioner at the same time, the target slave air conditioner analyzes the received at least one target control message, determines the processing execution priority order of each target control message, namely the processing priority order, and obtains at least one execution priority order.

And 308b, the target slave air conditioner determines a target working state corresponding to the target control message with the highest priority order from at least one execution priority order.

In this embodiment of the present application, since at least one execution priority order is determined, an execution priority order with the highest priority order may be determined from the at least one execution priority order, and a target control message corresponding to the execution priority order with the highest priority order may be determined, and a target operating state corresponding to the target control message corresponding to the execution priority order with the highest priority order may be determined and obtained by analyzing the target control message.

And 308c, if the current working state is matched with the target working state, the target slave air conditioning equipment continuously keeps the current working state.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, in other embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 4, after the target slave air conditioning device performs step 307, if the current operating state does not match the target operating state, it may further select to perform steps 310 to 311 or step 312:

and 310, if the current working state is not matched with the target working state and the target slave air-conditioning equipment is detected to be capable of achieving the target working state, switching the current working state to be the target working state by the target slave air-conditioning equipment.

In this embodiment of the application, if the current working state determined by the target slave air conditioning equipment is not matched with the target working state, and it is determined that the target slave air conditioning equipment can achieve the target working state, the target slave air conditioning equipment switches the current working state to the target working state, that is, the target slave air conditioning equipment switches the current working parameter to the target table working parameter corresponding to the target working state.

And 311, the target slave air conditioner responds to the target control message and sends a second feedback message for indicating that the target working state is achieved to the target master air conditioner.

And step 312, if the current working state is not matched with the target working state and it is detected that the target slave air conditioning equipment cannot execute the target working state, the target slave air conditioning equipment responds to the target control message and sends a third feedback message for indicating that the target working state cannot be executed to the target master air conditioning equipment.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, in another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 5, if the target master air conditioner includes a storage bin for storing slave air conditioners and can be used to charge the slave air conditioners, after the target master air conditioner performs step 305, the target master air conditioner further performs steps 313 to 315:

step 313, the target master air conditioning unit detects a current state of a storage bin of the target master air conditioning unit.

In the embodiment of the application, the target master control air conditioning equipment detects the use state of the storage bin of the target master control air conditioning equipment to obtain the current state of the storage bin.

And step 314, if the current state is the idle state, the target master air conditioner generates a state message for indicating that the current state of the storage bin is the idle state.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the current state is an idle state, which indicates that there is no slave air conditioning equipment currently in the storage bin, the detection of the current state of the existing storage bin may be implemented by providing an image capturing unit such as a sensor or a camera for detecting distance and/or weight in the storage bin. In this way, when it is detected that there is no slave air conditioning unit currently in the storage compartment, a status message is generated indicating that the current status of the storage compartment is an idle status.

Step 315, the target master air conditioning unit sends a status message to the target slave air conditioning unit.

In the embodiment of the application, the target master air conditioner sends the status message to the target slave air conditioner, and after receiving the status message, the target slave air conditioner can respond to the status message and automatically return to the storage bin of the target master air conditioner for charging when the electric quantity is low, or automatically return to the storage bin of the target master air conditioner when the target slave air conditioner is not in operation and the electric quantity is high without charging, so that the target slave air conditioner can be accommodated conveniently, and the occupancy rate of the target slave air conditioner to the space is reduced.

Correspondingly, after the target slave air conditioner performs step 309 or step 311 or step 312, the target slave air conditioner is further configured to perform the following steps:

step 316, if a state message sent by the target master air conditioner and used for indicating that the current state of the storage bin of the target master air conditioner is an idle state is received, the target slave air conditioner detects the current remaining capacity of the target slave air conditioner.

The target slave air conditioning equipment can be stored in the storage bin for charging operation.

Step 317, the target slave air conditioner sends a notification message for indicating the current remaining power to the target master air conditioner in response to the status message.

In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the status message sent by the target master control air conditioning device, the target slave air conditioning device sends the current remaining capacity of the target slave air conditioning device to the target master control air conditioning device through the notification message, so that the target master control air conditioning device determines whether to control the target slave air conditioning device to return to the storage bin according to the current remaining capacity of the target slave air conditioning device. In some application scenarios, after the target master air conditioning device receives the current remaining capacity sent by the target slave air conditioning device, whether the target slave air conditioning device is controlled to return to the storage bin can be determined according to the working state and the current remaining capacity of the target slave air conditioning device.

Step 318, if a notification message used for indicating the current remaining capacity and sent by the at least one target slave air conditioner is received, the target master air conditioner determines to obtain a target slave air conditioner, of which the current remaining capacity meets a preset requirement, from the at least one target slave air conditioner based on the at least one current remaining capacity.

In this application example, if the target master air conditioner receives a notification message, which is sent by at least one target slave air conditioner and used for indicating the current remaining power, at least one received current remaining power is analyzed by the target master air conditioner, and a target slave air conditioner whose current remaining power meets a preset requirement is determined from the at least one target slave air conditioner, where the preset requirement may be the lowest current remaining power among a plurality of current remaining powers, or the lowest current remaining power among the plurality of current remaining powers that is lower than a preset power threshold and among the current remaining powers.

In some application scenarios, when the target master air conditioner analyzes the received at least one current remaining power, the preset requirement may also be that the current remaining power is low and the corresponding target slave air conditioner is not in a working state. That is to say, when the target master air conditioning device analyzes at least one current remaining capacity, if it is determined that the target slave air conditioning device with the lowest remaining capacity is currently in a working state and the current remaining capacity can also support working for a period of time, the target slave air conditioning device does not meet the preset requirement, the target master air conditioning device determines the working state of the target slave air conditioning device corresponding to the previous current remaining capacity adjacent to the lowest remaining capacity, and if the target slave air conditioning device corresponding to the previous current remaining capacity is not currently in the working state, it is determined that the target slave air conditioning device corresponding to the previous current remaining capacity meets the preset requirement.

Step 319, the target master air conditioner sends an allowance message to the target slave air conditioner that the current remaining capacity meets the preset requirement.

Wherein the permission message is used to instruct the target slave air conditioner to return to the storage bin for charging.

And step 320, if an allowance message which is sent by the target master air conditioner and used for indicating that the target slave air conditioner is allowed to return to the storage bin is received, the target slave air conditioner responds to the allowance message and controls the target slave air conditioner to move to the storage bin according to a first preset route.

Wherein the permission message is generated by the target master air conditioning device based on the current remaining capacity.

In the embodiment of the application, the first preset route is preset according to the position of the target slave air conditioner to the position of the storage bin.

It should be noted that steps 313 to 315 can be implemented as a separate embodiment.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, in other embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 6, after the target slave air conditioner performs step 309, step 321 may be further selectively performed, and correspondingly, the target master air conditioner may selectively perform steps 322 to 325, and the target slave air conditioner may further perform step 326:

in step 321, if it is detected that the current remaining power of the target slave air conditioning device is lower than the preset power threshold, the target slave device sends a charging request message to the target master air conditioning device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the preset power threshold is an empirical value obtained through a large number of experiments, where the preset power threshold is the maximum required power at which the target slave air conditioning equipment cannot continue to operate and can be kept moving to the storage bin or the charging position farthest from the storage bin.

Step 322, if a charging request message sent by the target slave air conditioner is received and the current state of the storage bin of the target master air conditioner is a busy state, or if a charging request message sent by the target slave air conditioner is received, the target master air conditioner acquires the target position of the target slave air conditioner.

In this embodiment, the current status of the storage bin of the target master air conditioning device is busy, which indicates that there is a storage bin currently in the storage bin. Under the condition that the target master air conditioning equipment comprises a storage bin, if the target master air conditioning equipment receives a charging request message sent by the target slave air conditioning equipment and the current state of the storage bin of the target master air conditioning equipment is a busy state, the target master air conditioning equipment directly determines the current target position of the target slave air conditioning equipment. Under the condition that the target master air conditioner is not provided with the storage bin, if the target master air conditioner receives a charging request message sent by the target slave air conditioner, the current target position of the target slave air conditioner is directly determined without considering the state of the storage bin.

Step 323, the target main control air conditioning equipment selects a position closest to the target position from at least one external preset charging position to obtain a target charging position.

In the embodiment of the application, a charging device for charging the slave air conditioning equipment is arranged at least one external preset charging position, and the charging device can be a wireless charging device or a socket type charging device. Since the current remaining capacity of the target slave air conditioning equipment is lower than the preset capacity threshold, in order to charge the target slave air conditioning equipment faster, a position with the shortest moving distance and closest to the target position needs to be selected from at least one external preset charging position as the target charging position.

In step 324, the target master air conditioning device generates a charging location indication message for indicating the target slave air conditioning device to charge to the target charging location.

Step 325, the target master air conditioner sends a charging location indication message to the target slave air conditioner.

Step 326, if a charging location indication message for indicating the target slave air conditioner to go to the target charging location for charging is received, the target slave air conditioner responds to the charging location indication message, and controls the target slave air conditioner to move to the target charging location for charging operation according to a second preset route.

And the target charging position is the charging position which is determined by the target master air-conditioning equipment and is closest to the target slave air-conditioning equipment when the storage bin of the target master air-conditioning equipment is in a busy state.

It should be noted that steps 321 to 326 may be implemented as a separate embodiment.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, in other embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 7, after the target slave air conditioner performs step 309, steps 327 to 328 may be optionally performed:

step 327, the target slave air conditioner sends a communication detection signal to the at least one reference master air conditioner, and starts a timer to start timing.

Wherein the at least one reference master air conditioning unit comprises a target master air conditioning unit.

In this embodiment of the present application, the communication detection signal is used to detect whether a communication link between the target slave air conditioner and the reference master air conditioner is kept smooth, and the communication detection signal may be a heartbeat detection signal or a handshake signal established by a channel. The at least one reference master air conditioning unit is a master air conditioning unit having a communication connection relationship with the target slave air conditioning unit.

Step 328, if the timed duration exceeds the first preset duration and does not receive the communication response signal sent by the at least one reference master air conditioning device, the target slave air conditioning device switches the working mode of the target slave air conditioning device to the independent working mode, or the target slave air conditioning device generates alarm information for indicating that the communication connection with the at least one reference master air conditioning device is disconnected.

Wherein the independent operating mode is used to identify that the target slave air conditioning unit is not managed by the at least one reference master air conditioning unit.

In this embodiment, after sending a communication detection signal to at least one reference master air conditioner, a target slave air conditioner detects whether a communication response signal sent by at least one of the at least one reference master air conditioner is received within a preset time period, and if the communication response signal sent by the at least one reference master air conditioner is not received after the preset time period is exceeded, it is determined that the target slave air conditioner is out of contact with the at least one reference master air conditioner, at this time, the working mode of the target slave air conditioner may be switched to an independent working mode, that is, a mode not controlled by any master air conditioner, or the target slave air conditioner may further generate an alarm message that is disconnected from the communication connection with the at least one reference master air conditioner, so that a user detects the target slave air conditioner and the at least one reference master air conditioner to eliminate a corresponding fault. The alarm information may be in text form and/or in voice form.

It should be noted that steps 327 to 328 may also be executed before any step before step 309, and the specific execution order may be determined by actual situations, and is not limited specifically here.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, in another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 8, after the target slave air conditioner performs step 309, steps 329 to 330 may be optionally performed, and correspondingly, the target master air conditioner may optionally perform steps 331 to 334:

step 329, if the target slave air conditioner is detected to be out of order, the target slave air conditioner generates failure information that the target slave air conditioner is out of order.

And step 330, the target slave air conditioner sends fault information to the target master air conditioner.

Step 331, if the fault information sent by the at least one second reference slave air conditioner is received, the target master air conditioner obtains the at least one fault information.

Wherein the at least one second reference slave air conditioning unit comprises a target slave air conditioning unit.

Step 332, the target master air conditioner determines a target fault level corresponding to each fault information to obtain at least one target fault level.

And 333, sequentially processing the fault information corresponding to each target fault level by the target master control air conditioning equipment according to the processing sequence of the fault levels from high to low to obtain a processing result.

And step 334, the target master air conditioner displays the processing result.

In the embodiment of the application, the processing result includes successful processing or unsuccessful processing, and the processing result can further send the fault information and the processing result to an after-sales processing server corresponding to the air conditioning equipment, so that after-sales personnel can analyze the fault information and the processing result and optimize the product.

It should be noted that steps 329-334 may be performed as a separate embodiment.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, in another embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 9, after the target master control device performs step 305, the target master control device is further configured to perform the following steps 335 to 337:

step 335, the target master control device counts at least one first reference slave air conditioner device that has not sent a response message for responding to the target control message after the second preset time period.

In some application scenarios, the prompt message may be in the form of voice, text, or the like.

It should be noted that the execution sequence among steps 301 to 309, steps 310 to 312, steps 313 to 320, steps 321 to 326, steps 327 to 328, steps 329 to 334 and steps 335 to 337 may be determined according to the actual execution situation, and is not limited herein, and the above steps may be optionally combined and selectively executed according to the actual situation, and is not specifically limited herein.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, an application scenario is provided in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 10, including n master air conditioners and m slave air conditioners, where each master air conditioner can communicate with m slave air conditioners. The master control air-conditioning equipment can be integrated independent indoor cabinet air-conditioning equipment, a structural body of a storage bin can be added to a box body of the master control air-conditioning equipment, the integrated independent indoor cabinet air-conditioning equipment serves as the master control air-conditioning equipment, a small box body in the storage bin is called as slave air-conditioning equipment, and the slave air-conditioning equipment is not limited to interactive work with the integrated independent indoor cabinet air-conditioning equipment and can also interactively work with a split type indoor hanging machine in a room or the integrated independent indoor cabinet air-conditioning equipment without the storage bin. The slave air-conditioning equipment is called slave machine for short, and the master air-conditioning equipment is called master machine for short.

The slave machine has the function of sliding movement and does not need to occupy space and be fixedly installed. The slave can slide freely in the room along with the instructions and requirements of the host or the user to complete the operation of special functions.

The slave machine is provided with a control panel, a fan and a communication module which is interacted with at least one host machine, and can also be provided with a filtering and cleaning device and a device capable of being freely charged. The arrangement of the slave machines can be according to the user's needs, for example place a slave machine in each room, and according to the different needs in each room, can set up different functions to the slave machine, control by one or more host computer, realize that a slave machine can receive different host computer and send out the order. A master may also receive requests from different slaves. And the slave computer and the host computer transmit data information by using wireless communication equipment carried by the machine.

The slave machines can work in different rooms in a moving mode, the main machine and the slave machines can be sold in a matched mode or sold independently, and users can purchase the slave machines selectively according to using requirements. One host can control a plurality of slave machines or one slave machine is controlled by one or more than one host machine at the same time, so that a plurality of groups of host machines and slave machines are distributed at different places at different times or in the same time to carry out interactive control work.

When one master manages a plurality of slaves, the slaves are coded in the master management system, for example, in the form of numbers, according to the number of the slaves. Illustratively, the slave machines are sequentially coded into 1#, 2#, 3#. N #, and written into an address manager in a management system of the master machine, so that the master machine can determine corresponding slave machine information sources according to the codes of the slave machines; it should be noted that, after the master and the slave are powered off and restarted, information can be transmitted according to the previously allocated codes each time.

When one slave can communicate with a plurality of masters, that is, one slave is managed by a plurality of masters, the masters are encoded in the operating system of the slave according to the number of masters, for example, in the form of numbering the masters. Illustratively, the number of the master is 001#, 002#, and 003#. 00m # addresses in sequence, and the addresses are written into the address manager of the slave, and the source of the master information is determined according to the number of the master. It should be noted that, after the master and the slave are powered off and restarted, information transmission is still performed according to the previously allocated address.

The interactive operation between the master and the slave can be as follows:

A. the main machine can be a cabinet air conditioner or a split type on-hook machine, when a plurality of main machines exist, the main machines can simultaneously send commands to the slave machines, and the slave machines execute corresponding requirements according to the positions and the commands received by the main machines;

B. the slave computer is an independent movable box body and has two compatible schemes of a contactless charging device and a wired power supply charging. The main machine is a cabinet air conditioner, and a cabinet body has a storage bin which can be used for providing a charging function for the slave machine, wherein the charging function is completed in the storage bin of the main machine or is completed through charging equipment which is arranged at some fixed positions and used for charging the slave machine.

C. When the storage bin of the host is idle, a signal is sent to each slave machine managed by the host machine, after the slave machine receives the signal, the host machine corresponding to the information source is determined according to the signal address in the signal, namely the host machine code, after the slave machine receives the signal, whether the host machine corresponding to the information source needs to return to the storage bin or not is responded according to the current state of the slave machine, and if the slave machine needs to return to the storage bin, a command is sent to the host machine. It should be noted that, if more than 1 slave needs to return to the storage bin, the master receives commands sent by multiple slaves at the same time, and the master determines which slave should return to the storage bin preferentially according to the priority processing based on the information included in the command transmitted by each slave. For example, assuming that the command issued by the slave numbered 1# includes information that the power is 20% left, and the command issued by the slave numbered 2# includes information that the power is 30% left, since the remaining power of the slave numbered 1# is lower than that of the slave numbered 2#, the master sends a command of the bin back to the slave numbered 1 #. And if the master determines that the storage bin is full, the commands sent by other slaves to return to the storage bin are not received. Wherein the storage bin full indication may be displayed on a display screen of the host. If other slave machines are in urgent need of charging under the condition that the storage bin of the master machine is full, the master machine can send a command to enable the slave machines to move to the position of the charging equipment with the nearest distance to the position of the slave machines so as to charge the charging equipment with the nearest distance.

D. When a plurality of host computers send commands to one or all the slave computers at the same time, the slave computers receive the commands and then judge whether the current state is consistent with the commands sent by the host computers, if so, the slave computers continue to execute according to the current state, if not, the slave computers judge whether the commands of the host computers can be met according to the current state, if the commands of the host computers can be met, the commands are responded and executed, meanwhile, information is returned to the host computers for confirmation, if the commands of the host computers cannot be met, the current state is not changed, and the returned information tells the host computers that the commands cannot be executed.

In some application scenarios, the master and the slave can also perform fault judgment, and the specific process is as follows:

A. when the host numbered 001# is shut down, if the slave sends a signal to the slave and does not receive the response of the host numbered 001# within a certain period of time, for example, 60 seconds, the slave sends a signal to the host numbered 002# and still does not receive the response of the host numbered 002#, the slave continues to send signals to other hosts corresponding to the stored numbers in sequence, and if the response of any host is not received, the slave switches to an independent working mode or alarms to prompt a user to check.

B. When the host numbered 001# sends a command to the slave and does not receive a response from the slave within a period of time, such as 60 seconds, the host numbered 001# determines that the slave is disconnected, and displays the information of the disconnection of the slave on a display screen of the host numbered 001# to remind a user to check the state of the disconnected slave.

C. And processing the faults according to the priority level, if several slave machines simultaneously send fault information to one master machine or all the master machines, judging the received fault information of the plurality of slave machines by the master machine, determining the fault level of the fault information corresponding to each slave machine, and then processing the fault information of the corresponding slave machine according to the determined fault level. For example, assuming that it is determined that the failure level of the slave numbered 1# is a severity shutdown failure and the failure level of the slave numbered 2# is a warning level failure, the master processes the failure of the slave numbered 1# based on the failure information of the slave numbered 1# and processes the failure of the slave numbered 1# based on the failure information of the slave numbered 2# in priority.

It should be noted that, for the description of the same steps and the same contents in this embodiment as those in other embodiments, reference may be made to the description in the other embodiments, which is not repeated herein.
