Problems solved by technology

However, this method of setting the defrosting start point based on experience has a very low defrosting efficiency because the frosting situation cannot be clearly determined.
In some cases, when the cooling preset is reached, the frosting thickness of the evaporator is not high, but the heating wire starts to work for defrosting, which not only shortens the cooling time of the compressor but also wastes heating energy; When the frost layer of the evaporator is already very thick and needs to be defrosted, but the program does not allow defrosting because the preset time has not been reached, which will affect the normal operation of the evaporator

Abstract

The invention provides a frosting detection method and a frosting detection system for an evaporator. The frosting detection method for the evaporator comprises the steps of shooting the evaporator from multiple angles by utilizing a plurality of shooting apparatuses to obtain multiple images of the evaporator; processing the images to obtain multiple pieces of feature data reflecting a frosting condition of the evaporator; and according to the feature data, determining the frosting condition of the evaporator as a judgment basis for a starting point and an ending point of defrosting of the evaporator. By utilizing the scheme provided by the invention, the feature data capable of reflecting the frosting condition is extracted from the frosting images according to a preset image processing algorithm, and the actual frosting condition is accurately and comprehensively reflected through the multi-dimensional feature data, so that the frosting condition detection can be more accurate and more proper starting point and ending point can be set for the subsequent defrosting process conveniently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of defrosting, in particular to a frosting detection method and a frosting detection system of an evaporator. Background technique [0002] After an air-cooled refrigerator or an air conditioner running in heating mode runs for a period of time, the evaporator will frost, which affects its operating efficiency. Therefore, the refrigerator or air conditioner needs to defrost the evaporator after a period of cooling. [0003] However, the current defrosting method used in refrigerators or air conditioners is to set a preset time based on empirical data, and automatically start defrosting after the refrigerator or air conditioner has been refrigerated for a preset time. However, this method of setting the defrosting start point based on experience has low defrosting efficiency because the frosting situation cannot be determined. In some cases, when the cooling preset is reached, the frosting thickness of the evaporator ...
