在步驟S501中,當該室外機3被啟動時,該室外機3之該控制單元34透過該室外機收發模組31傳送具有該機種識別碼之該通信資料給該室內機收發模組41,其中,該機種識別碼用以指示該室外機3之機種為複數相異機種(例如,冷專室外機、冷暖室外機)之其中一者。In step S501, when the outdoor unit 3 is activated, the control unit 34 of the outdoor unit 3 transmits the communication data having the model identification code to the indoor unit transceiver module 41 through the outdoor unit transceiver module 31. The model identification code is used to indicate that the model of the outdoor unit 3 is one of a plurality of different types (for example, a cold outdoor unit and a cold and warm outdoor unit).
在步驟S502中,該室內機收發模組41接收具有該機種識別碼的該通信資料,並將其儲存於該記憶單元42。In step S502, the indoor unit transceiver module 41 receives the communication data having the model identification code and stores it in the memory unit 42.
在步驟S503中,該通用室內機4之該處理單元44根據在該步驟S502中所接收到之該機種識別碼判斷該室外機3之機種。即,若該室內機收發模組41所接收到之該機種識別碼為該冷專室外機識別碼,則該處理單元44判斷該室外機3之機種為該冷專室外機。若該室內機收發模組41所接收之該機種識別碼為該冷暖室外機識別碼,則該處理單元44判斷該室外機3之機種為該冷暖室外機。In step S503, the processing unit 44 of the universal indoor unit 4 determines the model of the outdoor unit 3 based on the model identification code received in the step S502. That is, if the model identification code received by the indoor unit transceiver module 41 is the cold outdoor unit identification code, the processing unit 44 determines that the model of the outdoor unit 3 is the cold outdoor unit. If the model identification code received by the indoor unit transceiver module 41 is the heating and cooling outdoor unit identification code, the processing unit 44 determines that the model of the outdoor unit 3 is the cooling and cooling outdoor unit.
在步驟S504中,使用者透過該使用者介面單元43從該等空調運轉模式中選擇其中一空調運轉模式,並將對應 該空調運轉模式之一空調運轉模式設定訊號傳送給該室內機收發模組41。在本較佳實施例中,該等空調運轉模式包括一冷氣運轉模式及一暖氣運轉模式,該使用者介面單元43可為一遙控裝置(圖未示),使用者透過該遙控裝置將對應所選擇之該空調運轉模式的該空調運轉模式設定訊號,以無線或有線之方式,傳送給該室內機收發模組41。In step S504, the user selects one of the air conditioning operation modes from the air conditioning operation modes through the user interface unit 43 and corresponds to One of the air-conditioning operation modes, the air-conditioning operation mode setting signal, is transmitted to the indoor unit transceiver module 41. In the preferred embodiment, the air conditioning operation mode includes a cold air operation mode and a heating operation mode. The user interface unit 43 can be a remote control device (not shown) through which the user can communicate with the remote control device. The air conditioning operation mode setting signal selected in the air conditioning operation mode is transmitted to the indoor unit transceiver module 41 in a wireless or wired manner.
在步驟S505中,該室內機收發模組41接收該空調運轉模式設定訊號,該處理單元44根據該空調運轉模式設定訊號,判斷使用者所選擇之該空調運轉模式與該室外機3之機種是否相匹配。若是,則執行步驟S506。若否,則執行步驟S508。In step S505, the indoor unit transceiver module 41 receives the air conditioner operation mode setting signal, and the processing unit 44 determines, according to the air conditioner operation mode setting signal, whether the air conditioner operation mode selected by the user and the model of the outdoor unit 3 are Match. If yes, step S506 is performed. If no, step S508 is performed.
在步驟S506中,該處理單元44透過該室內機收發模組41傳送相關於該空調運轉模式之該控制訊號給該室外機收發模組31。In step S506, the processing unit 44 transmits the control signal related to the air-conditioning operation mode to the outdoor unit transceiver module 31 via the indoor unit transceiver module 41.
在步驟S507中,該室外機3之該控制單元34根據該室外機收發模組31所接收之該控制訊號,控制該空調單元32運作於該空調運轉模式。In step S507, the control unit 34 of the outdoor unit 3 controls the air conditioning unit 32 to operate in the air conditioning operation mode according to the control signal received by the outdoor unit transceiver module 31.
在步驟S508中,該警示燈號會閃爍,用以警示使用者所選擇之該空調運轉模式與該室外機之機種不相匹配,且該處理單元44不透過該室內機收發模組41傳送相關於該空調運轉模式之該控制訊號給該室外機收發模組31,並回到步驟S504。In step S508, the warning light is blinking to notify the user that the selected air conditioning operation mode does not match the model of the outdoor unit, and the processing unit 44 does not transmit the relevant information through the indoor unit transceiver module 41. The control signal in the air-conditioning operation mode is supplied to the outdoor unit transceiver module 31, and the flow returns to step S504.
舉例來說,在該步驟S503中,若該處理單元44判斷該室外機3之機種為該冷專室外機,且使用者在該步驟S504中選擇該暖氣運轉模式時,則該處理單元44將不會透過該室內機收發模組41傳送該暖氣控制訊號給該室外機收發模組31。For example, in the step S503, if the processing unit 44 determines that the model of the outdoor unit 3 is the cold outdoor unit, and the user selects the heating operation mode in the step S504, the processing unit 44 The heating control signal is not transmitted to the outdoor unit transceiver module 31 through the indoor unit transceiver module 41.
綜上所述,本發明藉由該機種識別碼指示該室外機3之機種,使該通用室內機4可根據該機種識別碼對應控制不同機種之該室外機3,以提供使用者一種可有效降低設備成本之分離式空調系統。In summary, the present invention indicates the model of the outdoor unit 3 by the model identification code, so that the universal indoor unit 4 can control the outdoor unit 3 of different models according to the model identification code to provide a user with an effective Separate air conditioning system that reduces equipment costs.
惟以上所述者,僅為本發明之較佳實施例而已,當不能以此限定本發明實施之範圍,即大凡依本發明申請專利範圍及發明說明內容所作之簡單的等效變化與修飾,皆仍屬本發明專利涵蓋之範圍內。The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
