JP 2009-14233 A

  However, the construction and commissioning process depends on the experience of local workers.For example, if the local workers in the test run are frequently replaced, the trial run technology is not rooted in the local workers and the trial run is performed correctly. There was nothing. In addition, since the data obtained by the trial run was not evaluated and the problem could not be found before the introduction, there was a problem that a defect occurred in a very short time after the introduction.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and when there is no abnormality in the trial operation, the air-conditioning monitoring system and the control method thereof, the air conditioner, and the centralized monitoring device that can be controlled by the remote controller The purpose is to provide.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means.
The present invention includes an air conditioner that shifts to a normal operation after performing a test operation and is controlled by a remote controller, and a central monitoring device that collects operation information of the air conditioner, and the air conditioner and the concentration A monitoring system and an air conditioning monitoring system connected to each other through a network that can communicate with each other, wherein the air conditioner collects and outputs test operation data that is an operation state when the test operation is performed, And switching means for switching to a state of permitting control from the remote controller when receiving permission data permitting control from the remote controller, and the centralized monitoring device is acquired from the air conditioner When there is no abnormality in the test operation data, the permission data is sent to the air conditioner that has output the test operation data. Providing air conditioning monitoring system comprising a permission data output means for force, the.

  According to such a configuration, when there is no abnormality in the test operation data that is the operation state collected during the trial operation of the air conditioner, the remote controller controls the air conditioner that outputs the test operation data without this abnormality. The permission data for permitting the air conditioner is output from the centralized monitoring device, and the control of the air conditioner that has acquired the permission data is switched to the permitted state. The trial operation data is data such as the discharge temperature and suction temperature of the compressor, the heat exchanger temperature, the fan rotation speed, the expansion valve opening degree, and the pressure during the trial operation.

In this way, control from the remote controller is possible only when the trial run is performed normally and there are no abnormalities, and if there is an abnormality in the trial operation, control from the remote controller is not permitted. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the situation in which control from the remote controller is permitted and delivered to the customer.
In addition, the centralized monitoring device determines whether or not the test operation data is abnormal for each air conditioner, and outputs the permission data only to the air conditioner having no abnormality in the test operation data. Does not allow the remote controller of the air conditioner.

  The communication terminal and the air conditioner, and the communication terminal and the centralized monitoring device are connected via a network so as to communicate with each other, interposed between the air conditioner and the centralized monitoring device of the air conditioning monitoring system. A communication terminal including a notification device, wherein the air conditioner includes a preliminary check determination unit that determines whether or not a preliminary check before the trial operation has been performed in the communication terminal; and the preliminary check determination It is good also as providing the trial run start means which starts a trial run, when it determines with the said prior check having been implemented by the means.

Pre-checks include, for example, electricity such as whether the air conditioner is powered on, instrumentation such as whether the signal line between the indoor unit and outdoor unit of the air conditioner is connected, and the outdoor If there are multiple outdoor units, such as whether or not the operation valve that connects the unit to the indoor unit is open, whether or not the oil equalizing pipe valve provided between the outdoor units is opened And so on.
As described above, since it is confirmed that the preliminary check has been performed, the system shifts to the trial operation, so that human errors can be reduced and construction errors can be reduced. The communication terminal is, for example, a mobile phone, a personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a game machine having a communication function, etc., and information necessary for the advance check of the air conditioner is a user who uses the communication terminal. It is a terminal provided to.

  The communication terminal of the air conditioning monitoring system outputs the trial operation data acquired from the air conditioner to the centralized monitoring device, and the centralized monitoring device stores a shipping list for storing shipping information related to the shipping of the air conditioner The permission data output means may output permission data based on the shipping information and the trial operation data stored in the shipping list storage.

  For example, when the power value information obtained as a result of the preliminary check on the air conditioner at the site A is input to the centralized monitoring device, the centralized monitoring device displays the shipping list (shipment information) of the site A and the acquired power value. Information is compared. When there is a large difference between the power value obtained from the information on the type and number of air conditioners (outdoor units and indoor units) based on the shipment list of the base A, and the information on the input power value, It is presumed that the air conditioner is not installed correctly and does not output permission data. Further, the shipping list (shipping information) is compared with the acquired information on the number of connected indoor units, and it can be presumed that the air conditioner is not correctly installed even if there is a difference. In this way, whether or not to output permission data is determined based on the result of the preliminary check as well as the presence or absence of the preliminary check. Therefore, the recognition failure due to forgetting to turn on the indoor unit or the slave unit setting failure of the outdoor unit Prevent troubles caused by etc.

The permission data output means of the centralized monitoring device of the air-conditioning monitoring system includes test operation data storage means for storing the acquired test operation data for each air conditioner, and test operation data stored in the test operation data storage means. And determining means for determining whether or not there is an abnormality in the test operation data, and determining means for determining based on the determination criterion.
In this way, the collected trial operation data is stored for each air conditioner, and the presence or absence of abnormality in the trial operation data is determined based on the trial operation data, so determination according to the external environment etc. where the air conditioner is installed As a result, the accuracy of the centralized monitoring device is improved.

The centralized monitoring device of the air conditioning monitoring system may notify the communication terminal of information for recovering an abnormality when the test operation data acquired from the air conditioner has an abnormality.
For example, a failure may occur due to direct intake of saturated liquid into the compressor. The causes are, for example, EEV (ELECTRIC EXPANSION VALVE) leakage, SV (SOLENOID VALVE: electromagnetic valve) leakage, fan There are multiple malfunctions. In such a case, information for identifying the cause of the abnormality (that is, information for recovering the abnormality) is notified to the communication terminal, so that the operator of the communication terminal recovers the abnormality notified to the communication terminal. By implementing the operation based on the information for the purpose, it becomes easy to identify the cause of the defect.

The air conditioner of the air conditioning monitoring system may include a temperature sensor, and a temperature measured by the temperature sensor may be the trial operation data.
For example, when the operation valve (liquid, gas, oil) is forgotten to be opened, it can be detected that an abnormality has occurred by collecting temperature information with a temperature sensor. Thus, by collecting the temperature information from the temperature sensor as trial operation data, the accuracy of abnormality detection can be improved.

  The present invention is an air conditioner that shifts to a normal operation after performing a test operation and is connected to a centralized monitoring device that is controlled by a remote controller and collects operation information so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network. The test operation data collecting means for collecting and outputting the test operation data which is the operation state in the case, and the permission to allow the remote controller output from the centralized monitoring device to be controlled when there is no abnormality in the test operation data An air conditioner comprising switching means for switching to a state in which control from the remote controller is permitted when data is received is provided.

  The present invention is a centralized monitoring device connected to a network that can communicate with the air conditioner that collects operation information of the air conditioner that is controlled by a remote controller after performing a trial operation and that moves to a normal operation. When there is no abnormality in the test operation data that is the operation state when the test operation collected and output in the air conditioner is performed, the air conditioner that has output the test operation data is controlled from the remote controller. Provided with a permission data output means for outputting the permission data for permitting the control, and the permission data provides a centralized monitoring device for switching the air conditioner to a state of permitting control from the remote controller.

It is a figure which shows the whole structure of the air-conditioning monitoring system which concerns on 1st Embodiment of this invention. It is a block diagram showing a schematic structure of an air-conditioning monitoring system concerning a 1st embodiment of the present invention. It is a block diagram which shows schematic structure of the air-conditioning monitoring system which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of an air conditioning monitoring system and a control method thereof, an air conditioner, and a centralized monitoring device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of an air conditioning monitoring system 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the air conditioning monitoring system 1 includes air conditioners (hereinafter referred to as “air conditioners”) 2 a and 2 b, air conditioners 2 a and 2 b, a centralized monitoring device 3, and a communication terminal 4. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the air conditioner is described as the air conditioner 2. In addition, the air conditioners 2a and 2b and the communication terminal 4 and the central monitoring device 3 and the communication terminal 4 can communicate with each other via the network 5 between the air conditioner 2 and the central monitoring device 3. It is connected.

The network 5 is a communication line that can be processed by each of the air conditioners 2a and 2b, the communication terminal 4, and the centralized monitoring device 3, and may be wired communication using a general telephone line, a dedicated line, or the like. Wireless communication using a communication system or the like may be used. Alternatively, it may be communication connected via a LAN such as Ethernet or wireless LAN.
In this embodiment, although it demonstrates as providing two air conditioners, a number is not specifically limited and the upper limit of a number is not specifically provided.

Each of the air conditioners 2a and 2b includes outdoor units 21a and 21b, a plurality of indoor units 22 corresponding to the outdoor units 21a and 21b, respectively, and a remote controller (hereinafter referred to as “remote controller”) 23 for operating the indoor units 22. . Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, the air conditioner is described as the air conditioner 2, and the outdoor unit is described as the outdoor unit 21.
It is assumed that the air conditioner 2 shifts to a normal operation after performing a test operation and is controlled by a customer (operator) using the remote controller 23. The air conditioner 2 is in a state where control by the remote controller 23 is rejected in advance.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the air conditioning monitoring system 1 according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, the outdoor unit 21 includes a pre-check determination unit (pre-check determination unit) 50, a test operation start unit (trial operation start unit) 51, a test operation data collection unit (trial operation data collection unit) 52, and a switching unit ( (Switching means) 53 is provided.

  The advance check determination unit 50 determines whether or not the advance check before the trial operation has been performed in the communication terminal 4 (details will be described later). Specifically, the advance check determination unit 50 performs the advance check result input from the operator via the communication terminal 4 when the advance check is performed by the operator of the communication terminal 4 (for example, the advance check is performed). Whether or not the information including a flag for notifying that it has been acquired) has been acquired. When the preliminary check determination unit 50 determines that the preliminary check has been performed, the preliminary check determination unit 50 outputs to the trial operation start unit 51 that the preliminary check has been performed.

  The preliminary check is a confirmation operation of the state of the air conditioner 2 for correctly performing the trial operation, and is performed by the operator of the communication terminal 4. In the preliminary check, for example, electricity such as whether or not the air conditioner 2 is turned on, instrumentation such as whether or not the signal line between the indoor unit 22 and the outdoor unit 21 of the air conditioner 2 is connected, Pipes such as whether or not an operation valve that is a valve connecting the outdoor unit 21 and the indoor unit 22 is opened, and when there are a plurality of outdoor units 21, the valves of the oil equalizing pipes provided between the outdoor units 21 are opened. Information such as whether or not the state has been set is checked.

The trial operation start unit 51 starts the trial operation of the air conditioner 2 when the preliminary check determination unit 50 determines that the preliminary check has been performed. Thus, since it is confirmed that the preliminary check has been carried out before the start of the trial run, it is possible to reduce a situation in which the trial run has a problem due to a human procedure error or the like.
The test operation data collection unit 52 collects and outputs test operation data that is an operation state when the test operation is performed. For example, the test operation data collection unit 52 collects the discharge temperature and suction temperature of the compressor, the heat exchanger temperature, the fan rotation speed, the opening degree of the expansion valve, the pressure, and the like as test operation data and outputs the collected data to the communication terminal 4.

  In addition to the sensor information provided in advance in the air conditioner 2, a temperature sensor 24 may be provided separately, and the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 24 may be included in the test operation data. For example, in the installation site of the air conditioner 2, there is a case where an error in forgetting to open the operation valve (for example, liquid, gas, oil, etc.) may occur. It is difficult to judge. In such a case, the temperature sensor 24 is provided at a position where the temperature change according to the opening / closing of the operation valve can be detected, and the temperature information acquired from the temperature sensor 24 is included in the test operation data, so that the operation valve is in the open state. It is possible to compare the temperature estimated to be measured by the current temperature measured by the temperature sensor and determine whether or not the test operation data (temperature information) is normal. As described above, by using the temperature sensor 24, it is possible to improve the accuracy of detecting an abnormality in the test operation data.

  The switching unit 53 switches to a state in which the control from the remote control 23 is permitted when “permission data” permitting the control from the remote control 23 is received. Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the air conditioner 2 is in a state in which control by the remote controller 23 is rejected in advance, and when permission data is received, the air conditioner 2 switches from the rejected state to the permitted state. The switching of the unit 53 is not limited to this. For example, when the control from the remote controller 23 is in the permitted state, if a command to be rejected is received, the permission state is switched to the rejected state.

The centralized monitoring device 3 outputs a “permission data” permission data output unit (permission data output means) 30 to the air conditioner 2 that has output the test operation data when there is no abnormality in the test operation data acquired from the air conditioner 2. Is provided. Specifically, the permission data output unit 30 includes a trial operation data storage unit (trial operation data storage unit) 301 and a determination unit (determination unit) 302.
The trial operation data storage unit 301 stores reference trial operation data when a normal trial operation is performed in each air conditioner 2. Moreover, the trial operation data storage unit 301 stores the trial operation data for each air conditioner 2 by associating the device information (for example, the device serial number) acquired together with the trial operation data with the trial operation data.

  The determination unit 302 determines whether or not the test operation data is abnormal (in other words, whether or not the test operation is abnormal) by comparing the reference test operation data and the acquired test operation data. As a result, when there is no abnormality in the test run data, “permission data” is transmitted to the communication terminal 4. If the test run data is abnormal as a result of the determination, “abnormality notification data” is transmitted to the communication terminal 4. Further, the abnormality notification data is information for recovering the abnormality, and is, for example, an abnormality location, an operation method for identifying the cause of the abnormality, and the like.

  For example, a case where a state in which the saturated liquid is directly sucked into the compressor is detected in the central control device 3 based on the trial operation data will be described as an example. In this state, for example, a plurality of causes such as EEV leakage, SV leakage, fan malfunction, and the like are conceivable, and it is difficult to determine the cause from the trial operation. In such a case, the communication terminal 4 is notified of the driving method for specifying the cause of the abnormality. Thereby, the operator of the communication terminal 4 can easily identify the cause of the failure by operating the air conditioner 2 based on the information on the operation method notified to the communication terminal 4.

The communication terminal 4 is connected to the air conditioner 2 and the centralized monitoring device 3 via the network 5 respectively. The communication terminal 4 allows the operator to perform a preliminary check before the trial operation of the air conditioner 2 to perform the test operation, and also receives the test operation data and the device information acquired from the outdoor unit 21 of the air conditioner 2 to concentrate. Transmit to the monitoring device 3. In addition, permission data received from the centralized monitoring device 3 or abnormality notification data is transmitted to the air conditioner 2. The communication terminal 4 is, for example, a mobile phone, a personal computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a game machine having a communication function, or the like.
Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the communication terminal 4 includes a storage unit 40 and a notification unit 41.

  For example, when the communication terminal 4 acquires the permission data of the remote controller 23 for the air conditioner 2a from the centralized monitoring device 3, the communication terminal 4 notifies the notification unit 41 that displays that there is no abnormality in the test operation data of the air conditioner 2a, and The permission data is output to the air conditioner 2a via a communication unit (not shown). Moreover, when the communication terminal 4 acquires the abnormality notification data for the air conditioner 2b from the centralized monitoring device 3, the communication terminal 4 notifies the notification unit 41 that the test operation data of the air conditioner 2b is abnormal, and is included in the abnormality notification data. Notification of information regarding recovery of abnormalities (such as the location of the abnormality and the driving method for identifying the cause of the abnormality). Thus, the determination result of the test operation data of each air conditioner 2 is displayed on the notification unit 41 of the communication terminal 4.

  The storage unit 40 stores a pre-check list serving as an operation procedure for accurately performing the trial operation before the trial operation of the air conditioner 2 is performed. Specifically, in the communication terminal 4, before the start of the test run, an operation before the start of the test run by the operator (for example, an operation such as pressing the dedicated changeover switch when a dedicated switch for trial run is provided) is performed. When done, the advance check list is read from the storage unit 40.

  Further, the information of the advance check list read from the storage unit 40 is notified to the notification unit 41 and provided to the operator of the communication terminal 4 as information necessary for the advance check before the trial run. Further, when the operator inputs “preliminary check result” as information indicating that the preliminary check has been performed after confirming the information of the preliminary checklist, the preliminary check result is obtained via the communication unit of the communication terminal 4. It is transmitted to the air conditioner 2 that has performed the advance check.

Next, the operation of the air conditioning monitoring system 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG.
Although each of the air conditioners 2a and 2b has the same function, in the present embodiment, the operation of the air conditioner 2a will be described by taking the air conditioner 2a as a focus of attention from the communication terminal 4.

  The communication terminal 4 and the outdoor units 2a and 2b are connected via a network 5 (for example, a mobile phone line). When the operator of the communication terminal 4 confirms the content of the advance check list according to the operation procedure notified to the notification unit 41 and inputs the advance check result to the communication terminal 4, the advance check result input to the communication terminal 4 is It is transmitted to the air conditioner 2a. In the preliminary check determination unit 50, it is determined whether or not the preliminary check before the trial operation has been performed, depending on whether or not the preliminary check result has been acquired. This is notified to the unit 51. Moreover, when not implemented, the said determination is repeated until it implements.

When information indicating that the preliminary check has been performed is acquired by the test operation start unit 51, the test operation of the air conditioner 2a is started, and the test operation data acquired from the air conditioner 2a is collected, and the test operation data and device information are collected. Are transmitted to the communication terminal 4. When the test operation data and the device information are received by the communication terminal 4, they are transmitted to the centralized monitoring device 3 via the network 5.
Subsequently, reference test operation data corresponding to the air conditioner 2 a that has transmitted the acquired test operation data is read from the test operation data storage unit 301 of the centralized monitoring device 3 and output to the determination unit 302. The acquired test operation data is stored in the test operation data storage unit 301 together with the device information of the air conditioner 2a.

  In the determination unit 302, it is determined whether or not the test operation data is abnormal. If it is determined that the test operation data is not abnormal, permission data for the air conditioner 2 a is transmitted to the communication terminal 4. When the permission data is received by the communication terminal 4, the notification unit 41 of the communication terminal 4 notifies that there is no abnormality in the test operation, and the permission data is transmitted to the air conditioner 2a. If it is determined that there is an abnormality as a result of the determination, abnormality notification data for the air conditioner 2a is transmitted to the communication terminal 4. In this case, the notification unit 41 of the communication terminal 4 notifies that there is an abnormality in the trial operation of the air conditioner 2a, and also notifies information related to the recovery of the abnormality. The operator can check the cause of the notified abnormality by checking the abnormality notification data notified to the notification unit 41.

  When the permission data is received by the switching unit 53 of the air conditioner 2a, the use of the remote controller 23 is permitted, and the state of the switching unit 53 is switched from the rejected state to the permitted state. The outdoor unit 21 is set to allow control from the remote controller 23. When the air conditioner 2a acquires the permission data, this process ends. If the permission data is not received by the air conditioner 2a, the above process is repeated until it is received (until authentication is obtained).

As described above, according to the air conditioning monitoring system 1 and the control method thereof, the air conditioner 2 and the centralized monitoring device 3 according to the present embodiment, the preliminary check before the start of the test run is started from the communication terminal 4 before the start of the test run. As a result, the trial run can be performed accurately. In addition, the trial run data collected when the trial run is performed and the trial run data estimated to be collected when the normal trial run is performed are compared to determine whether the trial run is normal. Only in the case of a trial run, the control by the remote controller 23 is permitted for the air conditioner 2 that has transmitted the normal trial run data.
In this way, the test operation data collected during the test operation is used to authenticate whether or not the air conditioner 2 can be controlled from the remote controller 23, and the authentication is permitted only when there is no abnormality in the test operation. Remote control can be performed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of trouble after introduction due to being delivered to the customer even though the abnormality is included.

[Modification]
In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not there is an abnormality in the test run data based on the reference test run data stored in advance in the test run data storage unit 301, but the determination method is not limited to this. For example, a determination criterion is determined based on test operation data stored in the test operation data storage unit 301 together with the device information, and it is determined whether or not the test operation data is abnormal based on the determination criterion and the acquired test operation data. It is good as well. As described above, by determining the determination criteria using the trial operation data for each air conditioner 2 stored in the trial operation data storage unit 301, the air conditioner 2 is installed according to the environment (for example, for each country, for each weather). Judgment criteria are determined. In addition, this makes it possible to improve the accuracy of the threshold value serving as a determination reference.

  Although the air conditioner in the present embodiment has been described as a multi-type air conditioner, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an air conditioner including one indoor unit for one outdoor unit may be used.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The air conditioning monitoring system 1 ′ of the present embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a shipping list storage unit (shipping list storage means) 31 that stores shipping information regarding each air conditioner 2 is provided. Hereinafter, about the air-conditioning monitoring system 1 'of this embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted about the point which is common in 1st Embodiment, and a different point is mainly demonstrated.

The shipment list storage unit 31 stores information related to shipment of the air conditioner 2 shipped to each base (hereinafter referred to as “shipment information”) as information for each air conditioner 2. Specifically, the shipping information is information that can distinguish the shipping destination of the air conditioner 2. For example, the shipping information is associated with the shipping destination (shipping destination identification information such as address and telephone number), shipping date / time, delivery date / time, number of air conditioners (outdoor units and indoor units), model and model number information, etc. It has been.
The permission data output unit 30 determines whether to output permission data based on the shipping information stored in the shipping list storage unit 31 and the acquired test operation data.

  For example, when the shipping list storage unit 31 stores, as shipment information, that the air conditioner shipped (delivered) to the air conditioner 2a at the site A is the model number X, the centralized monitoring device 3 starts from the air conditioner 2a. If the model number included in the device information to be acquired is the model number Y, since the shipping information of the air conditioner 2a and the device information acquired from the air conditioner 2a are different, the determination unit 302 determines that there is an abnormality, and from the determination unit 302 Abnormality notification data regarding the air conditioner 2a is transmitted to the communication terminal 4.

  Further, for example, in the shipping list storage unit 31, when the shipping information that the air conditioner 2b at the base B has one outdoor unit and eight indoor units is stored, the trial operation acquired from the air conditioner 2b When the data is information for one outdoor unit and six indoor units (for example, power consumption value), there is a difference between the shipping information of the air conditioner 2b and the trial operation data acquired from the air conditioner 2b. There will be. In such a case, the determination unit 302 determines that there is an abnormality in the air conditioner 2b at the site B, and the abnormality notification data regarding the air conditioner 2b is transmitted from the determination unit 302 to the communication terminal 4.

  In this way, whether or not there is an abnormality in the trial operation is determined by comparing the trial operation data and the shipping information or the device information and the shipping information. Thereby, a recognition failure due to forgetting to turn on the power of the indoor unit, a slave unit setting failure of the outdoor unit, and the like can be detected, and troubles after the introduction of the air conditioner can be prevented.
