Description

空調設備的濾網壽命告警系統及告警方法Filter life warning system and alarm method for air conditioning equipment

本發明涉及空調設備,尤其涉及空調設備的濾網壽命告警系統及其告警方法。The invention relates to an air conditioning device, in particular to a filter net life warning system of an air conditioner and an alarm method thereof.

參閱圖1,為相關技術的空調設備示意圖。如圖1所示,空調設備1一般皆設置有濾網11,濾網11主要設置於空調設備1的進氣口12與出風口13之間。空調設備1從進氣口12將外部空氣吸入內部,並經過濾網11過濾後,再經由出風口13將過濾後的空氣排出,藉此達到空氣循環調節的目的。Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a schematic diagram of a related art air conditioner. As shown in FIG. 1 , the air conditioner 1 is generally provided with a filter screen 11 , and the filter screen 11 is mainly disposed between the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 of the air conditioner 1 . The air conditioner 1 draws outside air from the intake port 12 and filters it through the filter 11, and then discharges the filtered air through the air outlet 13, thereby achieving the purpose of air circulation adjustment.

一般來說,濾網11會因長時間的使用而越來越髒(因為濾除了流經空調設備1的空氣的灰塵與髒汙)。過於骯髒的濾網11將會影響空調設備1的循環調節的效率,進而因為較低的效率而造成能源浪費。為保持空調設備1的良好效能並避免能源浪費,使用者需要定期清潔或更換空調設備1中的濾網11。In general, the screen 11 is getting dirty due to prolonged use (because the dust and dirt of the air flowing through the air conditioner 1 are filtered out). An excessively dirty filter 11 will affect the efficiency of the circulation adjustment of the air conditioner 1, and thus waste energy due to lower efficiency. In order to maintain good performance of the air conditioner 1 and avoid energy waste, the user needs to periodically clean or replace the screen 11 in the air conditioner 1.

雖然空調設備1的製造商多會在使用說明書中提醒使用者定期清潔或更換濾網11,但絕大部分的使用者都會忘記,因而使得空調設備1的效率越來越低,同時浪費空調設備1的能源。Although the manufacturer of the air conditioner 1 often reminds the user to periodically clean or replace the filter 11 in the instruction manual, most users forget it, thereby making the efficiency of the air conditioner 1 lower and lower, and wasting the air conditioner. 1 energy.

有鑑於此,部分空調設備1額外設置了計時裝置來自動累計濾網11的使用時間(即,空調設備1安裝了濾網11後的運轉時間)。並且,空調設備1會於預設的使用時間(例如30天)到達時主動發出清潔或更換濾網11的提醒訊息,以提醒使用者清潔或更換濾網11。In view of this, some air conditioners 1 are additionally provided with a timing device to automatically accumulate the use time of the screen 11 (i.e., the operation time after the air conditioner 1 is installed with the screen 11). Moreover, the air conditioner 1 will actively send a reminder message for cleaning or replacing the filter 11 when the preset usage time (for example, 30 days) arrives to remind the user to clean or replace the filter 11.

然而,濾網11的骯髒程度實與環境中的空氣品質有相當大的關聯性。舉例來說,當空氣中的灰塵量大時,可能在短時間內濾網11即已阻塞。若採用上述技術,則在濾網11的使用時間到達之前空調設備1都不會主動發出更換濾網11的提醒訊息,因而使用者無法提前更換濾網11。如此一來,在上述使用時間到達之前,空調設備1的效能將會明顯地降低。However, the degree of filth of the screen 11 is quite correlated with the air quality in the environment. For example, when the amount of dust in the air is large, the screen 11 may be blocked in a short time. According to the above technique, the air conditioner 1 does not actively issue a reminder message for replacing the filter screen 11 until the use time of the filter screen 11 is reached, so that the user cannot replace the filter screen 11 in advance. As a result, the performance of the air conditioner 1 will be significantly reduced before the above usage time is reached.

再例如,當空氣中的灰塵量相當小時,可能在上述使用時間到達後濾網11仍相當乾淨。於此情況下,空調設備1仍會主動發出更換濾網11的提醒訊息,但所述提醒訊息將不具有實質意義。As another example, when the amount of dust in the air is relatively small, the screen 11 may still be quite clean after the above-mentioned usage time has elapsed. In this case, the air conditioner 1 will still actively send a reminder message to replace the filter 11, but the reminder message will not be meaningful.

本發明的主要目的,在於提供一種空調設備的濾網壽命告警系統及告警方法,可同時參考多項參數來計算濾網的壽命,以令所產生並發出的告警訊息更為準確。The main object of the present invention is to provide a filter life warning system and an alarm method for an air conditioner, which can calculate the life of the filter with reference to a plurality of parameters at the same time, so as to make the generated and issued alarm information more accurate.

請參閱圖2及圖3,分別為本發明的第一具體實施例的空調設備示意圖及告警系統方塊圖。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which are respectively a schematic diagram of an air conditioner and a block diagram of an alarm system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

本發明的一實施例揭露了一種空調設備的濾網壽命告警系統(下面簡稱為告警系統2),於圖3的實施例中,告警系統2至少包括空調設備(Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning, HVAC)3、感測器4以及伺服器5。所述伺服器5可為本地端伺服器或雲端伺服器。於圖3的實施例中,空調設備3、感測器4及伺服器5通過網路系統(例如Wi-Fi、藍牙等通訊協定)彼此通訊連接,但亦可藉由纜線(圖未標示)進行實體連接,不加以限定。An embodiment of the present invention discloses a filter life warning system (hereinafter referred to as alarm system 2) of an air conditioner. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the alarm system 2 includes at least a ventilation (Air Conditioning and Air Conditioning, HVAC). 3. Sensor 4 and server 5. The server 5 can be a local server or a cloud server. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the air conditioner 3, the sensor 4, and the server 5 are connected to each other through a network system (for example, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.), but can also be connected by a cable (not shown) ) Physical connections are not limited.

如圖2所示,本實施例中,空調設備3主要具有濾網31、風扇32、冷卻盤管33與加熱線圈34。當空調設備3啟動且風扇32開啟後,外部的風可由進氣口被吸入空調設備3中,並且由空調設備3內的濾網31過濾掉風中的有害物質(例如有機揮發物(TVOC)或粉塵(DUST)等)。接著,經由風扇32的帶動令空調設備3內的風流至冷卻盤管33或加熱線圈34,以產生使用者所需的冷風或熱風後,再經由出風口吹出空調設備3外。As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, the air conditioner 3 mainly has a strainer 31, a fan 32, a cooling coil 33, and a heating coil 34. When the air conditioner 3 is activated and the fan 32 is turned on, external wind can be drawn into the air conditioner 3 by the air inlet, and the harmful substances in the wind (for example, organic volatiles (TVOC)) are filtered by the filter 31 in the air conditioner 3. Or dust (DUST), etc.). Then, the wind in the air conditioner 3 is caused to flow to the cooling coil 33 or the heating coil 34 via the fan 32 to generate cold air or hot air required by the user, and then blown out of the air conditioner 3 via the air outlet.

如圖2所示,本實施例中空調設備3與一或多個感測器4共同設置於同一空間8中。具體地,空間8中具有一或多個通風孔81,空調設備3提供的冷風或熱風係經由通風孔81流入空間8中,藉此調節空間8中的環境舒適度,以令環境舒適度達到使用者9的需求。As shown in FIG. 2, the air conditioner 3 and the one or more sensors 4 are disposed in the same space 8 in this embodiment. Specifically, the space 8 has one or more ventilation holes 81, and the cold air or hot air provided by the air conditioner 3 flows into the space 8 through the ventilation holes 81, thereby adjusting the environmental comfort in the space 8 to achieve environmental comfort. User 9 needs.

所述感測器4主要用以感測空間8中的各項環境參數。於一實施例中,上述環境參數可例如有機揮發物濃度值、粉塵濃度值及甲醛濃度值的至少其中之一,所述感測器4可為用以感測上述各項環境參數的感測器,但不加以限定。The sensor 4 is mainly used to sense various environmental parameters in the space 8. In one embodiment, the environmental parameter may be, for example, at least one of an organic volatile concentration value, a dust concentration value, and a formaldehyde concentration value, and the sensor 4 may be a sensing for sensing the environmental parameters. But not limited.

本發明的主要技術目的之一,在於同時依據多種參數來計算空調設備3中的濾網31的壽命,並於判斷濾網31的壽命已盡時發出告警訊息給使用者9或管理者,以提醒使用者9或管理者清潔或更換濾網31。One of the main technical objects of the present invention is to calculate the life of the filter screen 31 in the air conditioner 3 according to various parameters, and to issue an alarm message to the user 9 or the manager when determining that the life of the filter 31 has expired. The user 9 or the manager is reminded to clean or replace the filter 31.

本發明的告警系統2主要是通過一個處理器(圖未標示)來執行上述的判斷並發出告警訊息。於一實施例中,所述處理器可為空調設備3的處理器(即,由空調設備3執行本地端運算)。於另一實施例中,所述處理器可為位於遠端的伺服器5(例如為一個雲端伺服器)的處理器(即,由伺服器5執行雲端運算)。若由空調設備3執行本地端運算,則本發明的告警系統2可不需配置伺服器5,進而降低製造成本。反之,若由伺服器5執行雲端運算,則可藉由伺服器5的效能大幅提昇告警系統2的運算效率及準確性。The alarm system 2 of the present invention mainly performs the above determination and sends an alarm message through a processor (not shown). In an embodiment, the processor may be a processor of the air conditioning device 3 (ie, performing local end operations by the air conditioning device 3). In another embodiment, the processor may be a processor of a remotely located server 5 (eg, a cloud server) (ie, performing cloud computing by the server 5). If the local terminal operation is performed by the air conditioner 3, the alarm system 2 of the present invention can eliminate the need to configure the server 5, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. On the other hand, if the cloud computing is performed by the server 5, the efficiency and accuracy of the alarm system 2 can be greatly improved by the performance of the server 5.

為便於說明,下面將以由伺服器5的處理器來執行雲端運算為例,舉例說明,但並非以此限制本發明的申請專利範圍。For convenience of explanation, the cloud computing operation performed by the processor of the server 5 will be exemplified below, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

具體地,本發明是由處理器判斷空調設備3是否啟動,並且判斷空調設備3的風扇32是否開啟。於判斷空調設備3已經啟動並且風扇32已經開啟時,處理器隨即由空調設備3取得風扇32目前被設定的風扇段數、由感測器4取得空間8中的各項環境參數(例如有機揮發物濃度值、粉塵濃度值等)、並且持續計算空調設備3的運轉時間。並且,處理器進一步執行告警演算法51,以計算空調設備3的濾網31的壽命。Specifically, the present invention determines whether the air conditioner 3 is activated by the processor, and determines whether the fan 32 of the air conditioner 3 is turned on. When it is determined that the air conditioner 3 has been activated and the fan 32 has been turned on, the processor then obtains the number of fan segments that the fan 32 is currently set by the air conditioner 3, and obtains various environmental parameters in the space 8 by the sensor 4 (for example, organic volatilization) The material concentration value, the dust concentration value, and the like), and the operation time of the air conditioner 3 is continuously calculated. And, the processor further executes an alarm algorithm 51 to calculate the life of the screen 31 of the air conditioner 3.

具體地,於空調設備3啟動後,空調設備3經由通訊連接將風扇段數傳遞至伺服器5,感測器4經由通訊連接將環境參數傳遞至伺服器5,並且伺服器5通過處理器累計空調設備3的運轉時間。並且,處理器執行告警演算法51,告警演算法51依據所取得的風扇段數、環境參數及運轉時間計算空調設備3中的濾網31的邏輯損耗值。於一實施例中,所述邏輯損耗值與濾網31的壽命呈反比,即,邏輯損耗值越大代表濾網31的損耗越嚴重(也就是說剩餘壽命越短)。當邏輯損耗值大於某個定值時,代表濾網31的壽命已盡。惟,上述僅為本發明的其中一個具體實例,但不以此為限。Specifically, after the air conditioner 3 is started, the air conditioner 3 transmits the number of fan segments to the server 5 via the communication connection, and the sensor 4 transmits the environmental parameters to the server 5 via the communication connection, and the server 5 is accumulated by the processor. The operating time of the air conditioner 3. Moreover, the processor executes an alarm algorithm 51, and the alarm algorithm 51 calculates the logical loss value of the filter screen 31 in the air conditioner 3 according to the obtained number of fan segments, environmental parameters, and operation time. In one embodiment, the logic loss value is inversely proportional to the lifetime of the screen 31, ie, the greater the logic loss value, the more severe the loss of the screen 31 (ie, the shorter the remaining life). When the logic loss value is greater than a certain value, it means that the life of the filter 31 is exhausted. However, the above is only one specific example of the present invention, but is not limited thereto.

本發明中,告警演算法51可記錄有更換門檻值。於一實施例中,管理者可對空調設備3及濾網31進行反複實驗以得出一個確切數值,並將所述數值寫入告警演算法51中以做為上述更換門檻值。於另一實施例中,管理者可將空調設備3、風扇32、濾網31、感測器4、空間8及使用者9等相關資訊全數匯入告警演算法51,並由告警演算法51通過大數據分析自行計算出上述更換門檻值。In the present invention, the alarm algorithm 51 can record a replacement threshold value. In an embodiment, the administrator may perform repeated experiments on the air conditioner 3 and the filter 31 to obtain an exact value, and write the value into the alarm algorithm 51 as the replacement threshold. In another embodiment, the administrator may import all related information such as the air conditioner 3, the fan 32, the filter 31, the sensor 4, the space 8 and the user 9 into the alarm algorithm 51, and the alarm algorithm 51 is used. The above replacement threshold is calculated by big data analysis.

本實施例中,上述更換門檻值代表了濾網31最大可承受的損耗程度。於告警演算法51計算了上述的邏輯損耗值後,處理器可進一步判斷邏輯損耗值是否大於所述更換門檻值。當邏輯損耗值大於更換門檻值時,代表濾網31目前的損耗程度已超過最大可承受的損耗程度(即,濾網31的壽命已盡),故處理器會產生並發出濾網31的告警訊息,以提醒使用者9或管理者清潔或更換空調設備3的濾網31。In the present embodiment, the replacement threshold value represents the maximum tolerable loss of the filter screen 31. After the alarm algorithm 51 calculates the above-mentioned logic loss value, the processor may further determine whether the logic loss value is greater than the replacement threshold value. When the logic loss value is greater than the replacement threshold value, it means that the current loss degree of the filter screen 31 has exceeded the maximum tolerable loss degree (that is, the life of the filter screen 31 has expired), so the processor generates and issues an alarm of the filter screen 31. A message to remind the user 9 or the manager to clean or replace the filter 31 of the air conditioner 3.

於圖3的實施例中,所述處理器為伺服器5(例如為雲端伺服器)的處理器,而告警演算法51設置於伺服器5中。於另一實施例中,所述處理器亦可為空調設備3的處理器,並且告警演算法51可為空調設備3的韌體(圖未標示)。In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the processor is a processor of a server 5 (for example, a cloud server), and the alarm algorithm 51 is disposed in the server 5. In another embodiment, the processor may also be a processor of the air conditioner 3, and the alarm algorithm 51 may be a firmware of the air conditioner 3 (not shown).

於圖2的實施例中,感測器4係與空調設備3分別設置於空間8的內部或周圍。於另一實施例中,感測器4可直接設置於空調設備3中,以令告警系統2的安裝更為簡易。In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the sensor 4 is disposed inside or around the space 8 with the air conditioner 3. In another embodiment, the sensor 4 can be directly disposed in the air conditioner 3 to make the installation of the alarm system 2 easier.

於圖3的實施例中,告警系統2進一步包括與上述處理器通訊連接的前台操控板6。本實施例中,前台操控板6可例如設置於空間8中,或是設置於空調設備3的維護中心。處理器可於判斷邏輯損耗值大於更換門檻值時,發送濾網31的告警訊息至前台操控板6上顯示。藉此,使用者9或管理者可於前台操控板6上查看告警訊息,並且於告警訊息顯示濾網31的壽命已盡時,進行濾網31的清潔或更換動作。In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the alarm system 2 further includes a front console 6 communicatively coupled to the processor. In this embodiment, the front control panel 6 can be disposed, for example, in the space 8 or in the maintenance center of the air conditioner 3. The processor may send an alarm message of the filter 31 to the front panel 6 when the logic loss value is greater than the replacement threshold. Thereby, the user 9 or the administrator can view the alarm message on the front panel 6 and perform the cleaning or replacement operation of the screen 31 when the alarm message display screen 31 has reached the end of its life.

於圖3的實施例中,告警系統2進一步包括與上述處理器通訊連接的使用者終端7。使用者終端7主要由管理者或是空間8中的使用者9所攜帶,並且使用者終端7的內部安裝並執行有可與本發明的告警系統2相容的應用程式71。本實施例中,處理器可於判斷邏輯損耗值大於更換門檻值時,發送濾網31的告警訊息至使用者終端7,以藉由應用程式71來顯示。藉此,使用者9或管理者可於使用者終端7上查看告警訊息,並且於告警訊息顯示濾網31的壽命已盡時,進行濾網31的清潔或更換動作。In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the alarm system 2 further includes a user terminal 7 communicatively coupled to the processor. The user terminal 7 is mainly carried by the administrator or the user 9 in the space 8, and the user terminal 7 is internally installed and executed with an application 71 compatible with the alarm system 2 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the processor may send the alarm message of the filter 31 to the user terminal 7 to display by the application 71 when the logic loss value is greater than the replacement threshold. Thereby, the user 9 or the administrator can view the alarm message on the user terminal 7, and when the alarm message display screen 31 has reached the end of its life, the cleaning or replacement action of the filter 31 is performed.

續請參閱圖4,為本發明的第一具體實施例的告警流程圖。本發明進一步揭露一種空調設備的濾網壽命告警方法(下面簡稱為告警方法),所述告警方法主要運用於如圖2及圖3所示的空調設備3及告警系統2。Referring to FIG. 4, it is an alarm flowchart of the first embodiment of the present invention. The invention further discloses a filter life warning method for an air conditioner (hereinafter referred to as an alarm method), and the alarm method is mainly applied to the air conditioner 3 and the alarm system 2 as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.

於本發明的告警方法中,首先由前述處理器(即,空調設備3或伺服器5)持續判斷空調設備3是否啟動,並且判斷空調設備3的風扇32是否開啟(步驟S10)。於一實施例中,空間8中可設置有人員感測器,並且於人員感測器感測到使用者9進入空間8時,自動啟動空調設備3並開啟風扇32。於另一實施例中,使用者9可於進入空間8後,通過輸入介面(例如前台操控板6或使用者終端7)手動發出指令以觸發空調設備3啟動,並且進一步開啟風扇32。In the alarm method of the present invention, first, the processor (i.e., the air conditioner 3 or the server 5) continuously determines whether the air conditioner 3 is activated, and determines whether the fan 32 of the air conditioner 3 is turned on (step S10). In an embodiment, a person sensor may be disposed in the space 8, and when the person sensor senses that the user 9 enters the space 8, the air conditioner 3 is automatically activated and the fan 32 is turned on. In another embodiment, after entering the space 8, the user 9 can manually issue an instruction through the input interface (for example, the front control panel 6 or the user terminal 7) to trigger the air conditioner 3 to start, and further turn on the fan 32.

於空調設備3啟動並且風扇32開啟之前,本發明的告警系統2不會計算濾網31的壽命(即,不執行本發明的告警方法),而是持續對空調設備3的狀態進行偵測,以判斷空調設備3是否啟動,並判斷風扇32是否開啟。值得一提的是,若空調設備3被啟動,但風扇32沒有開啟,表示沒有風流入空調設備3中。於此情況下,由於濾網31並沒有進行濾除髒污的工作,濾網31的壽命不會受到衰減,因此告警系統2同樣不會計算濾網31的壽命。換句話說,空調設備3的電源狀態以及風扇32的開關狀態,亦屬於本發明的告警方法計算濾網31的壽命的其中一項參數。Before the air conditioner 3 is activated and the fan 32 is turned on, the alarm system 2 of the present invention does not calculate the life of the screen 31 (ie, does not perform the alarm method of the present invention), but continuously detects the state of the air conditioner 3, It is judged whether or not the air conditioner 3 is activated, and it is judged whether or not the fan 32 is turned on. It is worth mentioning that if the air conditioner 3 is activated, but the fan 32 is not turned on, it means that no wind flows into the air conditioner 3. In this case, since the filter 31 does not perform the work of filtering out the dirt, the life of the screen 31 is not attenuated, so the alarm system 2 also does not calculate the life of the screen 31. In other words, the power state of the air conditioner 3 and the switch state of the fan 32 also belong to one of the parameters of the life of the filter 31 of the present invention.

於判斷空調設備3已啟動並且風扇32已開啟後,所述處理器隨即由空調設備3取得風扇32目前設定的風扇段數(步驟S12)、由感測器4取得空間8中的各項環境參數(步驟S14)、並且計算空調設備3的運轉時間(步驟S16)。After determining that the air conditioner 3 has been activated and the fan 32 has been turned on, the processor then obtains the number of fan segments currently set by the fan 32 by the air conditioner 3 (step S12), and the environment in the space 8 is obtained by the sensor 4. The parameter (step S14), and the operation time of the air conditioner 3 is calculated (step S16).

於一實施例中,上述環境參數可例如為空間8中的有機揮發物(TVOC)濃度值、粉塵(DUST)濃度值、甲醛濃度值等,不加以限定。In an embodiment, the environmental parameter may be, for example, an organic volatile matter (TVOC) concentration value, a dust (DUST) concentration value, a formaldehyde concentration value, and the like in the space 8, and is not limited.

於一實施例中,上述運轉時間可由處理器在空調設備3啟動後開始計算,或是由空調設備3自行計算,並且由處理器向空調設備3發出請求以取得所述運轉時間,不加以限定。In an embodiment, the running time may be calculated by the processor after the air conditioner 3 is started, or calculated by the air conditioner 3, and the processor sends a request to the air conditioner 3 to obtain the running time, which is not limited. .

值得一提的是,上述步驟S12至步驟S16並沒有固定的執行順序,處理器實可依據任意順序先後取得上述的各項參數,或是通過多工處理同時取得上述的所有參數,而不以圖4所示的步驟順序為限。It is worth mentioning that the above steps S12 to S16 have no fixed execution order, and the processor can obtain the above parameters sequentially according to any order, or obtain all the above parameters simultaneously by multiplexing processing, instead of The sequence of steps shown in Figure 4 is limited.

步驟S16後,處理器已取得計算濾網31所需的各項參數,因此處理器可將上述風扇段數、環境參數及運轉時間傳遞至告警演算法51,藉此告警演算法51可依據風扇段數、環境參數及運轉時間來計算濾網31的邏輯損耗值(步驟S18)。After step S16, the processor has obtained various parameters required for calculating the filter 31, so the processor can transmit the fan segment number, the environmental parameter and the running time to the alarm algorithm 51, whereby the alarm algorithm 51 can be based on the fan. The logical loss value of the filter 31 is calculated by the number of segments, the environmental parameters, and the operation time (step S18).

於一實施例中,空調設備3可設置有複數風扇段數(例如超高速(HH)、高速(Hi)、中等(Me)及低速(Lo)等),並且各個風扇段數分別對應不同的風流量。In an embodiment, the air conditioner 3 may be provided with a plurality of fan segments (for example, ultra high speed (HH), high speed (Hi), medium (Me), and low speed (Lo), and the number of each fan segment is different. Wind flow.

具體地,經實驗發現(參考下面表一),當空調設備3的風扇32固定運作在同一個風扇段數時,風流經空調設備3的流量是固定的。並且,當空調設備3的風扇32運作在不同的風扇段數時,風的流量將會對應改變。 <TABLE border="1" borderColor="#000000" width="85%"><TBODY><tr><td> 風的流量(單位:CMH(m<sup>3</sup>/h)) </td></tr><tr><td> 風扇段數 產品編號 </td><td> HH </td><td> Hi </td><td> Me </td><td> Lo </td></tr><tr><td> HVAC-1 </td><td> 412 </td><td> 370 </td><td> 307 </td><td> 225 </td></tr><tr><td> HVAC-2 </td><td> 299 </td><td> 269 </td><td> 225 </td><td> 163 </td></tr><tr><td> 風量比例 </td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> 1 </td><td> 0.89~0.91 </td><td> 0.72~0.76 </td><td> 0.52~0.56 </td></tr></TBODY></TABLE>Specifically, it has been experimentally found (refer to Table 1 below) that when the fan 32 of the air conditioner 3 is fixedly operated at the same fan section number, the flow of the wind through the air conditioner 3 is fixed. Moreover, when the fan 32 of the air conditioner 3 operates at a different number of fan segments, the flow rate of the wind will change correspondingly.  <TABLE border="1" borderColor="#000000" width="85%"><TBODY><tr><td> Wind flow (unit: CMH(m<sup>3</sup>/h)) </td></tr><tr><td> fan segment number product number</td><td> HH </td><td> Hi </td><td> Me </td><td> Lo </td></tr><tr><td> HVAC-1 </td><td> 412 </td><td> 370 </td><td> 307 </td><td> 225 </td></tr><tr><td> HVAC-2 </td><td> 299 </td><td> 269 </td><td> 225 </td><td> 163 < /td></tr><tr><td> Air volume ratio</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td> 1 </td><td> 0.89~0.91 </td ><td> 0.72~0.76 </td><td> 0.52~0.56 </td></tr></TBODY></TABLE>

表一Table I

如上表所示,於一實施例中,告警演算法51在上述步驟S18中可先將空調設備3目前設定的風扇段數換算成風流經空調設備3的流量後,再依據流量、環境參數以及空調設備3的運轉時間來計算濾網31的邏輯損耗值。其中,告警演算法51可通過查表方式(例如查詢上述表一)將風扇段數換算成流量,或是通過動態計算的方式將風扇段數換算成流量。惟,上述僅為本發明的其中一個具體實例,但並不以此為限。As shown in the above table, in an embodiment, the alarm algorithm 51 may first convert the number of fan segments currently set by the air conditioner 3 into the flow rate of the airflow through the air conditioner 3 in the above step S18, and then according to the flow rate, the environmental parameters, and The operating time of the air conditioner 3 calculates the logical loss value of the screen 31. The alarm algorithm 51 can convert the number of fan segments into traffic by means of a table lookup (for example, querying the above table 1), or convert the number of fan segments into traffic by dynamic calculation. However, the above is only one specific example of the present invention, but is not limited thereto.

值得一提的是,告警演算法51可經管理者手動設定或經由大數據分析自動產生一或多個權重。於步驟S18中,告警演算法51主要可計算上述流量、運轉時間、環境參數以及一或多個權重的乘積值,並且再將此乘積值做為上述的邏輯損耗值。It is worth mentioning that the alarm algorithm 51 can be manually set by the administrator or automatically generate one or more weights via big data analysis. In step S18, the alarm algorithm 51 can mainly calculate the above-mentioned flow rate, operation time, environmental parameters, and product values of one or more weights, and then use this product value as the above-mentioned logic loss value.

步驟S18後,處理器判斷告警演算法51計算所得的邏輯損耗值是否大於預取得的更換門檻值(步驟S20)。本發明係可由管理者對空調設備3及濾網31進行反複實驗,或由告警演算法51進行大數據分析,以計算出與濾網31最為匹配的更換門檻值。After step S18, the processor determines whether the calculated logical loss value of the alarm algorithm 51 is greater than a pre-acquired replacement threshold (step S20). In the present invention, the air conditioner 3 and the filter 31 can be repeatedly tested by the manager, or the big data analysis can be performed by the alarm algorithm 51 to calculate the replacement threshold value that best matches the filter 31.

具體地,告警演算法51用以計算邏輯損耗值的各項參數(包括上述之流量、環境參數及運轉時間)皆是與濾網31的壽命相關的參數。當告警演算法51依據上述參數所計算出的邏輯損耗值超出更換門檻值時,表示濾網31的壽命已盡,因此,處理器會進一步產生並發出濾網31的告警訊息(步驟S22),以提醒使用者9或管理者對空調設備3的濾網31進行清潔或更換的動作。Specifically, the parameters used by the alarm algorithm 51 for calculating the logic loss value (including the above-mentioned flow rate, environmental parameters, and operation time) are parameters related to the life of the filter 31. When the logic loss value calculated by the alarm algorithm 51 according to the above parameter exceeds the replacement threshold value, it indicates that the life of the filter 31 has expired, and therefore, the processor further generates and sends an alarm message of the filter 31 (step S22). The action of cleaning or replacing the filter 31 of the air conditioner 3 by the user 9 or the manager is reminded.

於一實施例中,處理器可將所產生的告警訊息發送至告警系統2的前台操控板6。於另一實施例中,處理器可將所產生的告警訊息發送至空間8中的使用者9所攜帶的使用者終端7。In an embodiment, the processor may send the generated alarm message to the foreground control panel 6 of the alarm system 2. In another embodiment, the processor may send the generated alert message to the user terminal 7 carried by the user 9 in the space 8.

值得一提的是,當濾網31被清潔或更換完成後,處理器可對濾網31的相關參數進行更新(步驟S24)。具體地,於步驟S24中,處理器係將上述已知的各項參數(包括流量、環境參數及運轉時間等)儲存至告警系統2的歷史資料庫(圖未標示),並且將該些參數從本地端的暫存器中清除。藉此,告警系統2可將濾網31前一次的使用記錄轉換為歷史記錄,並且藉由清除後的暫存器來儲存新的濾網31的使用記錄。It is worth mentioning that after the filter 31 is cleaned or replaced, the processor can update the relevant parameters of the filter 31 (step S24). Specifically, in step S24, the processor stores the above-mentioned known parameters (including flow rate, environmental parameters, operation time, etc.) to the historical database of the alarm system 2 (not shown), and the parameters are Cleared from the local scratchpad. Thereby, the alarm system 2 can convert the previous usage record of the filter 31 into a history record, and store the usage record of the new filter screen 31 by the cleared register.

若於步驟S20中,處理器判斷上述邏輯損耗值未大於更換門檻值,則處理器進一步判斷空調設備3或風扇32是否關閉(步驟S26)。若空調設備3及風扇32皆未關閉,則處理器再次執行步驟S12至步驟S20,以持續取得與空調設備3的濾網31的壽命有關的各項參數,並且計算濾網31的邏輯損耗值,藉此持續判斷是否需要清潔或是更換濾網31。If the processor determines in step S20 that the logical loss value is not greater than the replacement threshold value, the processor further determines whether the air conditioner 3 or the fan 32 is turned off (step S26). If neither the air conditioner 3 nor the fan 32 is turned off, the processor again performs steps S12 to S20 to continuously obtain various parameters related to the life of the screen 31 of the air conditioner 3, and calculate the logical loss value of the filter 31. Thereby, it is continuously determined whether it is necessary to clean or replace the filter 31.

若於步驟S26中判斷空調設備3已關閉,或空調設備3尚未關閉但風扇32已關閉,則處理器暫存於步驟S12至步驟S16中所取得的各項參數(步驟S28),接著再結束本次的告警方法。當空調設備3再次啟動且風扇32再次開啟時,處理器會由暫存器中讀取前次於步驟S28中儲存的各項參數,並且基於先前儲存的數據來執行圖4所示的各個步驟。藉此,不會有因為空調設備3的啟/閉頻繁而造成濾網31的邏輯損耗值計算不準確的問題產生。If it is determined in step S26 that the air conditioner 3 is turned off, or the air conditioner 3 has not been turned off but the fan 32 is turned off, the processor temporarily stores the parameters acquired in steps S12 to S16 (step S28), and then ends. This alarm method. When the air conditioner 3 is activated again and the fan 32 is turned on again, the processor reads the parameters stored in the previous step S28 from the register, and executes the steps shown in FIG. 4 based on the previously stored data. . Thereby, there is no problem that the calculation of the logic loss value of the filter screen 31 is inaccurate due to frequent opening/closing of the air conditioner 3.

參閱圖5,為本發明的第一具體實施例的濾網壽命計算示意圖。如圖5所示,本發明的告警方法主要是通過至少四個參數來進行空調設備3的濾網31的壽命的預警計算。Referring to Figure 5, there is shown a schematic diagram of the calculation of the life of the screen of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the alarm method of the present invention mainly performs early warning calculation of the life of the filter screen 31 of the air conditioner 3 by at least four parameters.

具體地,上述至少四個參數中,參數一是判斷空調設備3是否啟動,以及判斷風扇32是否開啟;參數二是於風扇32開啟後,依據空調設備3採用的風扇段數換算風流經濾網31的流量;參數三是偵測所在環境中的有害物質(例如有機揮發物、粉塵、甲醛等)的濃度;參數四是計算空調設備3的運轉時間。Specifically, among the at least four parameters, the parameter one is to determine whether the air conditioner 3 is activated, and whether the fan 32 is turned on; and the second parameter is that after the fan 32 is turned on, the wind flow is converted according to the number of fan segments used by the air conditioner 3 The flow rate of the filter 31; the third parameter is to detect the concentration of harmful substances (such as organic volatiles, dust, formaldehyde, etc.) in the environment; the fourth parameter is to calculate the running time of the air conditioner 3.

於取得上述至少四個參數後,告警系統2即可通過告警演算法51來執行濾網壽命預警計算。並且,告警系統2可於計算結果達標時,通過發出上述告警訊息來對使用者或管理者進行告警。藉此,本發明可令計算所得的濾網壽命更為精準。After obtaining the above at least four parameters, the alarm system 2 can perform the filter life warning calculation through the alarm algorithm 51. Moreover, the alarm system 2 can alert the user or the manager by issuing the above alarm message when the calculation result reaches the standard. Thereby, the present invention can make the calculated filter life more accurate.

參閱圖6,為本發明的第一具體實施例的相關參數示意圖。於一實施例中,空調設備3、感測器4或伺服器5可將上述的各項參數傳遞至前台操控板6或使用者終端7,以藉由前台操控板6或使用者終端7來顯示。藉此,使用者9與管理者可清楚看到與空調設備3中的濾網31的壽命有關的各項數據。Referring to FIG. 6, a schematic diagram of related parameters of a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. In an embodiment, the air conditioner 3, the sensor 4 or the server 5 can transmit the above parameters to the front panel 6 or the user terminal 7 to be controlled by the front panel 6 or the user terminal 7. display. Thereby, the user 9 and the manager can clearly see various data relating to the life of the screen 31 in the air conditioner 3.

例如,於圖6的實施例中,使用者9與管理者可由前台操控板6或使用者終端7上看到空調設備3的電源狀態、風扇32的狀態、空間8中的有機揮發物濃度值、空間8中的粉塵濃度值等,但不加以限定。通過顯示上述參數,可便於使用者9與管理者瞭解目前的空調設備3、風扇32以及所在環境的狀態,進而可藉由改善空調設備3、風扇32或是所在環境來延長濾網31的壽命。For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 6, the user 9 and the manager can see the power state of the air conditioner 3, the state of the fan 32, and the organic volatile concentration value in the space 8 from the front panel 6 or the user terminal 7. The dust concentration value in the space 8, etc., but is not limited. By displaying the above parameters, the user 9 and the manager can be made aware of the current state of the air conditioner 3, the fan 32, and the environment in which the environment is located, thereby prolonging the life of the filter 31 by improving the air conditioner 3, the fan 32, or the environment in which the air conditioner 3, the fan 32, or the environment is located. .

通過本發明的告警系統及告警方法,實可得到比相關技術所採用的判斷方式更為準確的濾網壽命計算結果,進而使得使用者或管理者更有效率地進行空調設備的濾網的清潔或更換動作。Through the alarm system and the alarm method of the invention, it is possible to obtain a more accurate filter life calculation result than the judgment method adopted by the related technology, thereby enabling the user or the manager to more efficiently clean the filter screen of the air conditioner.
