Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for determining whether an air conditioner is deficient in fluorine. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning systems can often experience refrigerant shortages (fluorine deficiency) due to issues like refrigerant leaks and valve blockages. This can lead to poor cooling or heating performance, increased exhaust temperatures, oil temperatures, and motor winding temperatures, impacting system reliability. Excessive refrigerant shortages can directly lead to problems like lubricant carbonization and motor winding short circuits and burns. Therefore, timely detection of fluorine deficiency and timely refilling are crucial for air conditioning systems.

[0003] Currently, most air conditioning systems use high / low pressure sensors to detect changes in system pressure to determine if a refrigerant deficiency is warranted, or by combining changes in other temperature sensors. However, high / low pressure sensors are not required for all units, and adding components solely for refrigerant deficiency detection would increase the complexity and cost of the unit. Furthermore, combining temperature sensors requires extensive experimentation to determine the criteria due to the diverse user environments and unit control requirements, which can complicate design.

[0042] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] In the subsequent description, the suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of this application and have no specific meaning. Therefore, "module" and "component" can be used interchangeably.

[0044] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology, according to one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an embodiment of a method for determining whether an air conditioner is lacking fluorine is provided.

[0045] A method for determining whether an air conditioner is short of fluorine in an embodiment of the present application can be executed by the air conditioner to control the air conditioner unit to shut down when it is detected that the air conditioner is short of fluorine.

[0046] The following will describe in detail a method for determining if an air conditioner is deficient in fluorine provided by an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with a specific embodiment. Figure 1 The specific steps are as follows:

[0047] Step 101: Start detecting the compressor power after the air-conditioning unit starts running for a first period of time.

[0048] After the air conditioning unit is started, it runs for the first time length Tmin, and then starts to detect the compressor power. The first time length T is the compressor initialization time length, which is subject to the unit setting.

[0049] Step 102: If it is determined that the compressor power is less than the first power threshold value within the preset time period, the air conditioning unit is controlled to continuously operate at the lowest frequency for a second time period to adjust the compressor power.

[0050] It is determined that the compressor power is less than the first power threshold P1 within the preset time n min, indicating that the air conditioner may be short of fluorine. Therefore, the air conditioner enters the fluorine deficiency accurate judgment state and controls the air conditioner unit to run continuously at the lowest frequency for the second time t min.

[0051] The preset duration n must be longer than the maximum dwell time during the frequency ramp-up and ramp-down process, ensuring the stability of the unit's power detection. However, it should not be too long to ensure timely protection, typically 3-5 minutes. The second duration t must ensure the unit can operate at the lowest frequency and temperature.

[0052] Due to the complexities of actual operating conditions and the complexities of compressor frequency variations, frequency or load changes may occur during power testing. Therefore, a single test may not accurately determine the fluorine deficiency state. Therefore, a precise fluorine deficiency determination state is set. When the unit is fluorine-deficient, the compressor operating power at the same frequency will be lower than the normal P1. Therefore, a rough determination here indicates the possibility of fluorine deficiency, requiring subsequent precise determination.

[0053] The operating frequency of an inverter air conditioner's compressor varies with capacity requirements, and operating conditions are closely linked to the operating environment. The frequency and environmental combinations are extremely diverse, and it's impossible to simulate all operating conditions during design. Therefore, a rough estimate of the previous condition couldn't directly confirm a fluorine deficiency. Here, reducing the compressor frequency to the minimum operating frequency eliminates frequency variability, making the determination more accurate. Therefore, determining a fluorine deficiency is now relatively precise.

[0054] Step 103: Determine whether the compressor is short of fluorine based on whether the adjusted compressor power is within a preset power range.

[0055] The air conditioner obtains a preset power range. If the compressor power is within the preset power range, it indicates that the compressor is seriously short of fluorine; if the compressor power exceeds the preset power range, it indicates that the compressor is slightly short of fluorine or not short of fluorine.

[0056] In this application, if the compressor power is less than the first power threshold within a preset time period, the air-conditioning unit is controlled to run continuously at the lowest frequency, and whether the compressor is short of fluorine is determined based on whether the adjusted compressor power is within the preset power range.

[0057] This application determines whether the air conditioner is short of fluorine based on the compressor frequency, without the need to set up high / low pressure sensors or temperature sensors. It solves the need for system design to detect fluorine deficiency in units without high / low pressure sensors, reduces system complexity and cost, solves the problem of difficulty in setting fluorine deficiency protection conditions when using various temperature sensing packages in the system, reduces the difficulty of design matching, and shortens the test cycle.

[0058] The method of determining whether the compressor is short of fluorine according to whether the adjusted compressor power is within a preset power range includes three embodiments:

[0059] In the first embodiment, if it is determined that the adjusted compressor power is less than or equal to the second power threshold within a preset time period, the air-conditioning unit is controlled to shut down and a fluorine deficiency prompt is issued.

[0060] If the compressor power is detected to be less than or equal to the second power threshold value P2 for a continuous preset time period of nm min, indicating that the air conditioner is seriously short of fluorine, the air conditioner unit is controlled to shut down and a fluorine shortage prompt is issued.

[0061] In the second embodiment, if it is determined that the adjusted compressor power is greater than the second power threshold and less than the third power threshold within a preset time period, a fluorine deficiency prompt is issued.

[0062] If the second power threshold value P2 is less than the compressor power and less than the third power threshold value P3 for a continuous preset time period nmin, it is determined to be a state of slight fluorine deficiency, and the unit issues a fluorine deficiency reminder.

[0063] In a third embodiment, if it is determined that the adjusted compressor power is greater than or equal to a third power threshold within a preset time period, the air-conditioning unit is controlled to recover from the lowest frequency to a normal control state.

[0064] If the compressor power is continuously detected for a preset time length nm min ≥ the third power threshold P3, the fluorine deficiency precise judgment state is exited and the frequency returns to normal control.

[0065] As an optional embodiment, before determining that the compressor power is less than the first power threshold within a preset time period, the method also includes: determining the current operating frequency of the air-conditioning unit after the air-conditioning unit starts running for the first time period; determining the current power corresponding to the current operating frequency according to a preset correspondence, wherein the correspondence indicates the correspondence between the operating frequency and power of the air-conditioning unit; and using the current power as the first power threshold.

[0066] The air conditioner stores a preset correspondence, which indicates the correspondence between the operating frequency and power of the air-conditioning unit. The air conditioner determines the current operating frequency of the air-conditioning unit after the air-conditioning unit starts running for the first period of time, and then determines the current power corresponding to the current operating frequency based on the correspondence. On the one hand, the air conditioner can use the current power as the first power threshold.

[0067] Alternatively, the air conditioner can use a power level between lower than the current power level and higher than the unit's normal operating power level as the first power threshold. To prevent frequent frequency reductions to accurately determine refrigerant deficiency, the power value can be appropriately lower than normal, but should not be lower than the value at which the unit operates reliably. Depending on the actual situation, the power corresponding to the frequency at which the unit experiences a slight refrigerant deficiency without causing irreversible damage can be used.

[0068] As an optional embodiment, before determining that the compressor power is less than or equal to the second power threshold within a preset time period, the method also includes: when the air-conditioning unit is being filled, if it is detected that the current amount of refrigerant causes irreversible mechanical damage to the air-conditioning unit, determining the power at which the air-conditioning unit operates at the lowest frequency as the second power threshold.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, before determining that the compressor power is greater than the second power threshold and less than the third power threshold within a preset time period, the method also includes: when the air-conditioning unit is being filled, if it is detected that the current amount of refrigerant affects the cooling or heating effect of the air-conditioning unit, determining the power at which the air-conditioning unit operates at the lowest frequency as the third power threshold.

[0070] Optionally, the embodiment of the present application also provides a processing flow chart for judging the lack of fluorine in an air conditioner, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0071] After the unit is started, it will run for Tmin to detect and judge the compressor power. If the compressor power is detected to be less than P1 for n min continuously, it will enter the state of accurate judgment of fluorine deficiency: adjust the set frequency = the lowest frequency that the unit can operate, and detect and judge the compressor power after tmin. If P2 is detected to be less than compressor power and less than P3 for n min continuously, it will be judged as a state of slight fluorine deficiency, and the unit will report fluorine deficiency and will not be shut down; if the compressor power is detected to be ≤P2 for n min continuously, the unit will shut down and report fluorine deficiency protection; if the compressor power is detected to be ≥P3 for n min continuously, the state of accurate judgment of fluorine deficiency will be exited and the frequency will return to normal control.

[0072] Based on the same technical concept, the embodiment of the present application also provides a device for judging whether an air conditioner is short of fluorine. Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0073] The detection module 301 is used to detect the compressor power after the air-conditioning unit starts to run for a first period of time;

[0079] If it is determined that the adjusted compressor power is greater than the second power threshold and less than the third power threshold within the preset time period, a fluorine deficiency prompt is issued.

[0080] Optionally, the determination module 303 is configured to:

[0081] If it is determined that the adjusted compressor power is greater than or equal to the third power threshold within the preset time period, the air-conditioning unit is controlled to recover from the lowest frequency to the normal control state.

[0082] Optionally, the device is also used to:

[0083] Determine the current operating frequency of the air conditioning unit after the first operating time;

[0084] Determining the current power corresponding to the current operating frequency according to a preset corresponding relationship, wherein the corresponding relationship indicates the corresponding relationship between the operating frequency and the power of the air conditioning unit;

[0085] The current power is used as the first power threshold.

[0086] Optionally, the device is also used to:
