A multi-connected air conditioning system, as shown in fig. 5, includes the positioning device 30 according to the above embodiments, so that all the advantages of any of the above embodiments are provided, and no further description is provided herein.
EXAMPLE seven
A computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program, when being executed by a processor 304, implements the steps of the positioning method according to any of the above embodiments, thereby having all the advantages of any of the above embodiments, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted here.
The following description is made with reference to some specific examples.
In the existing air conditioning system, especially a multiple air conditioning system, such as a set of system consisting of an outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units, a plurality of outdoor units, a plurality of indoor units and a single indoor unit of a plurality of outdoor units, because a plurality of such multiple systems often exist in an engineering field, it is often difficult to find and locate whether a certain indoor unit belongs to a target system (especially a target outdoor unit system) in the product maintenance process. Therefore, a great deal of manpower is needed to search and find during the maintenance process.
The invention provides a control method of an air conditioning system, aiming at quickly searching other indoor units or outdoor units in the same system through command control of the indoor units or the outdoor units so as to solve the problem that the effort for searching the same system in the maintenance process of the conventional air conditioning system is large.
The positioning target air conditioner can be operated through an outdoor unit or an indoor unit.
The prompting method for positioning the target comprises various modes of sound, icon, projection on a network connection system and the like.
The system is a system after the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are correctly connected in a communication mode and used.
Specifically, the outdoor unit and the indoor unit can be in normal communication connection through a 485 communication line, a WIFI module or other modes, and are mutually identified to confirm that the outdoor unit and the indoor unit form a set of system.
The outdoor unit may receive an external key, a network click (for example, an outdoor unit of a certain system is clicked on the APP), or other control information input, and the control information request may be to present all indoor units of the same system, present all outdoor units of the same system, or present all indoor units and outdoor units of the same system.
The indoor unit can receive external keys, a wire controller, a remote controller, network clicking of the indoor unit (for example, clicking of the indoor unit of a certain system on the APP) or control information input in other modes, and the requirement of the control information can be to prompt all indoor units of the same system, prompt all outdoor units of the same system or prompt all indoor units and outdoor units of the same system.
The prompting mode includes but is not limited to: the method comprises the steps of lighting a digital display tube or other indicating icons which can be observed by human eyes of a target indoor unit/outdoor unit, displaying specific characters on the digital display tube of the target indoor unit/outdoor unit, or continuously or regularly sounding a buzzer of the target indoor unit/outdoor unit, or combining the display of the target indoor unit/outdoor unit and the sounding of the buzzer, or highlighting the target indoor unit/outdoor unit on a network interface connected with the target indoor unit/outdoor unit (for example, all indoor units and outdoor units of the whole building can be seen by a mobile phone APP, and after the operation prompt is given, icons of the indoor units and the outdoor units of a target system on the APP are displayed deepened).
The prompt mode can also cancel the prompt by sending a control command to the unit (the outdoor unit or the indoor unit) again. Or the prompting mode automatically disappears after being displayed for a period of time, and the normal control state is recovered.
Specific examples are as follows:
as shown in fig. 4, the system includes an outdoor unit 1, an outdoor unit 2 (or none), an indoor unit 1, an indoor unit 2, and an indoor unit 3, and forms a set of air conditioning system (the number of outdoor units may be 1 or more, and the number of indoor units may be 1 or more).
Different prompting modes are shown according to different control information (different command signals can be distinguished according to different command signals input to the indoor unit and the outdoor unit).
If the outdoor unit 1 is operated (if the outdoor unit is provided with an electric control key), all the outdoor units belonging to the same system are required to be prompted, the prompting mode is that the nixie tubes uniformly display codes EA, and then the nixie tubes of the outdoor unit 1 and the outdoor unit 2 can display EA at the moment.
If a special command is sent to the indoor unit 1 through the remote controller, all indoor units in the same system are required to be prompted, and the prompting mode is that a buzzer of the indoor unit sounds for a long time. The buzzers of the indoor units 1, 2 and 3 will sound after the indoor unit 1 receives the command.
If the remote control is carried out through a mobile phone, a signal is sent to the indoor unit 2, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the same system are required to be prompted, the prompting mode is that a digital tube carried by the machine displays BB, and a buzzer sounds for a long time. After the indoor unit 2 receives the remote command, the nixie tubes capable of displaying codes, which are arranged on the outdoor unit 1, the outdoor unit 2, the indoor unit 1, the indoor unit 2 and the indoor unit 3, all display BB, and the buzzer arranged on the circuit board can sound for a long time.
If again through operating outdoor unit 2, require all the suggestion of the indoor set that belongs to same system to come out, the mode of suggestion is that the special icon or the code is shown on the line accuse ware that the indoor set links to each other, and the corresponding icon of this system indoor set on long-range centralized control APP lights up, then indoor set 1, indoor set 2, the special icon or the code of line accuse ware of indoor set 3 will deepen the colour this moment, when looking over air conditioning system with cell-phone APP simultaneously, indoor set 1, indoor set 2, the 3 icons of indoor set of this system will deepen the colour.
Furthermore, if the current indoor units 1, 2, and 3 are already in the state of being prompted by the long-sounding buzzer, the command to cancel the prompt may be sent again in any one of the aforementioned operation modes, and if the command is input from the main control panel of the outdoor unit 1, the indoor units 1, 2, and 3 will be turned to the normal operation state.
Therefore, the invention has the technical effect of helping to quickly position the target system of the multi-connected air conditioning system.
In summary, the multi-connected air conditioning system, the positioning method thereof, the positioning device and the computer readable storage medium provided by the invention can respond to the acquired positioning designation, then position all indoor units or all outdoor units or all indoor units and all outdoor units of the same multi-connected air conditioning system according to the positioning instruction and send out prompt information, or send out prompt information for both the monitoring device and the positioning target, so that maintenance personnel can quickly find a target system, thereby saving labor and improving working efficiency.
