Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to an air conditioner control device, method and air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, air conditioners, as a device that can adjust the temperature and humidity of the environment, have been widely used in most families. With the progress of the times, people pay more attention to health, and simply adjusting the temperature and humidity can no longer fully meet people's needs. Therefore, how to produce air conditioners with more functions has become the mainstream direction of research and development, such as how to achieve automatic cleaning of air conditioners, and how to avoid condensation of air conditioners. Take the automatic cleaning of air conditioners as an example. During the long-term use of air conditioners, it is inevitable that dust and bacteria will adhere to the surface of the heat exchanger. If the automatic cleaning of the air conditioner is not strong enough, it will not only make the cooling and heating capacity of the air conditioner worse in the long run, but also have a great impact on the physical and mental health of users. At present, most air conditioners are cleaned by traditional evaporator frosting and defrosting. This method does not add additional structure, but it will cause insufficient frosting thickness due to the limitation of the amount of water hanging on the fins, the frosting speed is not fast enough, and when the air humidity cannot meet the demand, the cleaning effect is poor.

[0003] For example, patent document CN104848738A discloses a cleaning method and device for an indoor heat exchanger of an air conditioner, which can realize the cleaning of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner without adding any parts and costs. However, the thickness of the frost in this scheme will be affected by the humidity of the air, so when the humidity is low, the cleaning effect will be poor due to insufficient frost thickness, and there is no good dustproof effect. For another example, patent document CN115355600A discloses a self-cleaning control method, control device and air conditioner for the heat exchanger of an indoor unit of an air conditioner. The method increases the thickness of the frost layer by increasing the operating frequency of the compressor during the frosting and defrosting process, thereby making the cleaning more thorough. However, this method can only be used on variable frequency air conditioners and cannot be used on fixed frequency air conditioners, resulting in low applicability, and it increases the thickness of the frost by increasing the frequency, which leads to the overall power consumption of the air conditioner. In addition, since no redundant parts are set in this scheme, more functional effects cannot be achieved, resulting in limited overall use effect of the air conditioner. Summary of the invention

[0047] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in the present description and the appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0048] See below Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning control device, which is applied to an air conditioner, wherein the air conditioner comprises a panel assembly 1 and an air inlet 2, wherein the panel assembly 1 comprises a top panel 11 and side panels 12 arranged around the air inlet 2, and the air conditioning control device comprises:

[0049] The driving unit 3 is arranged on at least one side panel 12;

[0050] The movable part 4 is disposed between the side panels 12 on both sides and connected to the driving part 3;

[0051] A control unit is connected to the driving unit 3, and the control unit is used to send a control instruction to the driving unit 3 so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 and cover the air inlet 2 and expose the top panel 11, or cover the top panel 11 and expose the air inlet 2.

[0052] In this embodiment, the air conditioning control device includes a driving unit 3, a movable unit 4 and a control unit. The control unit sends a control instruction to the driving unit 3, so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable unit 4 to move according to the control instruction. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the movable portion 4 moves between the air inlet 2 and the top panel 11, so that when the movable portion 4 moves to a position where it can cover the air inlet 2 (such as Figure 1 As shown), the cooling loss rate of the evaporator during frosting can be reduced to increase the thickness of the evaporator frost, so that a larger water flow can be generated during defrosting, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the evaporator; at the same time, when the movable part 4 covers the air inlet 2 (as shown Figure 2 As shown), it can also prevent external dust from entering the air conditioner, achieving a dust-proof effect; and when the movable portion 4 moves to a position where it can cover the top panel 11, it is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the top panel 11, so that the temperature difference between the top panel 11 and the air can be reduced, so that the condensation water generated by the air conditioner is also reduced. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention improves the use effect of the air conditioner from different angles. In addition, the air conditioning control device provided in this embodiment can be used not only for self-cleaning of fixed-frequency models, but also for self-cleaning of variable-frequency models at the same time, that is, the air conditioning control device has a high applicability.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment can effectively improve the use effect of the air conditioner. For example, compared with the prior art CN104848738A, while achieving self-cleaning of the air conditioner, it can also reduce the influence of air humidity. The thickness of the frost layer can be effectively increased by only reducing the air conditioning circulation, thereby improving the self-cleaning ability. For another example, compared with the prior art CN115355600A, it is not limited to being used only in a frequency converter, and it is not necessary to increase the power consumption of the air conditioner to provide the thickness of the frost layer, thereby improving the self-cleaning effect of the air conditioner. In addition, in addition to improving the self-cleaning effect, this embodiment can also produce a dustproof effect on the air conditioner, preventing foreign particles from entering the air conditioner, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air conditioner at the source.

[0054] In actual application scenarios, the control unit described in this embodiment can be a control mainboard of the air conditioner, or other separately set control terminals. The control instructions can be sent by the user to the air conditioner, or can be triggered by the air conditioner itself according to a set program.

[0055] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the driving unit 3 includes:

[0056] A mounting plate 31, fixedly mounted on the side panel 12;

[0057] A driving motor 32 connected to the control unit, wherein the driving motor 32 is disposed on a side of the mounting plate 31 away from the air inlet 2;

[0058] The transmission gear 33 is connected to the driving motor 32 , and the transmission gear 33 is disposed on a side of the mounting plate 31 close to the air inlet 2 .

[0059] Correspondingly, the movable portion 4 is provided with a transmission tooth 41 meshing with the transmission gear 33 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the driving part 3 specifically includes a driving motor 32, a transmission gear 33 and a mounting plate 31 for mounting the driving motor 32 and the transmission gear 33. By providing the mounting plate 31, the driving motor 32 and the transmission gear 33 can be easily installed. At the same time, in order to achieve the effect of driving the movable part 4 to move, the movable part 4 is provided with corresponding transmission teeth 41. When working, the control unit sends a control instruction to the driving motor 32, and the driving motor 32 drives the transmission gear 33 according to the control instruction to rotate it forward or reversely, so as to drive the movable part 4 to move in the direction of the air inlet 2 or the top panel 11, thereby achieving the corresponding control effect.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the movable portion 4 is a movable baffle, and the transmission teeth 41 are arranged on the side of the movable baffle.

[0062] That is to say, a movable baffle is arranged between the side panels 12 on both sides, and a transmission tooth 41 meshing with the transmission gear 33 is arranged on the side of the movable baffle, so that the movable baffle can move up and down between the side panels 12 on both sides under the transmission action of the transmission gear 33, so as to achieve the effect of covering the air inlet 2 or the top panel 11.

[0063] In the actual application scenario, the driving part 3 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of the driving parts 3 are respectively provided on the side panels 12 on both sides; the two sides of the movable baffle are respectively connected to the transmission gears 33 in the driving parts 3 on both sides. Compared with only providing the driving part 3 on one side of the side panel 12, providing the driving part 3 on both side panels 12 can improve the driving effect. At the same time, since the driving parts 3 are provided on both sides, both sides of the movable part 4 will contact the driving parts 3, which can improve the stability of the movable part 4 and avoid the unstable movement process resulting in insufficient final control effect.

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning control method, which is applied to the air conditioning control device as described in any one of the above items. The air conditioning control method includes: step S101.

[0065] Step S101, in response to a control instruction, sending the control instruction to the driving unit 3, so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 and cover the air inlet 2 and expose the top panel 11 or cover the top panel 11 and expose the air inlet 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, according to the control instruction, the control driving part 3 drives the movable part 4 to move according to the control instruction, so that when the movable part 4 moves to a position where it can cover the air inlet 2, the cold loss rate during the frosting process of the evaporator can be reduced, and the effect of increasing the frosting thickness of the evaporator can be achieved, so that a larger water flow can be generated during defrosting, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the evaporator; at the same time, when the movable part 4 covers the air inlet 2, it can also prevent external dust from entering the air conditioner, thereby achieving a dust-proof effect; and when the movable part 4 moves to a position where it can cover the top panel 11, it is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the top panel 11, so that the temperature difference between the top panel 11 and the air can be reduced, so that the condensation water generated by the air conditioner is also reduced, thereby improving the use effect of the air conditioner from different angles. In addition, the air conditioning control device provided in this embodiment can be used not only for self-cleaning of fixed-frequency models, but also for self-cleaning of variable-frequency models at the same time, that is, the air conditioning control device has a high applicability.

[0067] In actual application scenarios, the implementation subject of this embodiment can be a control unit in an air conditioning control device, or a control mainboard of the air conditioner, or other separately provided servers or control terminals, etc. The control instructions can be sent by the user to the air conditioner, or can be triggered by the air conditioner itself according to a set program.

[0068] In one embodiment, the control instruction is a self-cleaning instruction; in response to the control instruction, the control instruction is sent to the driving unit 3, so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 and cover the air inlet 2 or the top panel 11, including:

[0069] In response to the self-cleaning instruction, the self-cleaning instruction is sent to the driving unit 3 , so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 , and covers the air inlet 2 and exposes the top panel 11 .

[0070] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, in response to the self-cleaning instruction, the self-cleaning instruction is sent to the driving unit 3, so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 and cover the air inlet 2, and then includes: steps S201 to S203.

[0071] Step S201: after the movable portion 4 covers the air inlet 2, confirm that the air conditioner enters the self-cleaning condensation stage, and judge whether the self-cleaning condensation stage is completed according to a first preset condition; wherein the first preset condition is: the evaporator temperature of the air conditioner is lower than a preset first temperature threshold and lasts for a preset first time threshold, or the self-cleaning condensation stage lasts for a preset second time threshold, and the preset first time threshold is less than the preset second time threshold;

[0072] Step S202: when it is determined that the self-cleaning condensation stage is completed, confirm that the air conditioner enters the self-cleaning frosting stage, and determine whether the self-cleaning frosting stage is completed according to a second preset condition; wherein the second preset condition is: the evaporator temperature of the air conditioner is lower than a preset second temperature threshold and lasts for a preset third time threshold, or the self-cleaning condensation stage lasts for a preset fourth time threshold, and the preset third time threshold is less than the preset fourth time threshold;

[0073] Step S203, when it is determined that the self-cleaning frosting stage is completed, confirming that the air conditioner enters the self-cleaning defrosting stage, controlling the driving part 3 to drive the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12, and cover the top panel 11 and expose the air inlet 2.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner needs to perform self-cleaning operation, the user can send a corresponding self-cleaning instruction to make the air conditioner enter the corresponding self-cleaning mode. In this mode, the driving part 3 will drive the movable part 4 to move to a position that can cover the air inlet 2, so that the air conditioner can produce more condensation water at this time, that is, enter the condensation stage. In this stage, the air conditioner needs to meet one of the following conditions to enter the next stage. Condition 1: When T 管温 (That is, the evaporator temperature, which refers to the temperature detected by the temperature sensing package installed on the evaporator) <T 设定温度1 (i.e., the preset first temperature threshold), and after the preset first time threshold is continuously run, the condensation stage is determined to be completed. Condition 2: After the preset second time threshold is continuously run from the beginning of the condensation stage, the condensation stage is also determined to be completed. Among them, the preset first time threshold and the preset second time threshold are both program setting values, and the preset second time threshold> the preset first time threshold.

[0075] After the condensation stage is completed, the air conditioner enters the frosting stage. At this time, the position of the movable part 4 remains unchanged, the compressor of the air conditioner is still running for cooling, and the internal fan stops working. The heat exchange effect of the air conditioner is reduced, making it difficult to blow dry the water produced in the condensation stage and accumulate more and more, thereby increasing the thickness of the frost. The air conditioner also needs to meet one of the following two conditions in the frosting stage to enter the next stage. Condition 1: When T 管温 (That is, the evaporator temperature, which refers to the temperature detected by the temperature sensing package installed on the evaporator) <T 设定温度2 (i.e., the preset second temperature threshold), and after the preset third time threshold is continuously run, the frosting stage is determined to be completed. Condition 2: After the preset fourth time threshold is continuously run from the beginning of the frosting stage, the frosting stage is also determined to be completed. Among them, the preset third time threshold and the preset fourth time threshold are both program setting values, and the preset fourth time threshold>preset second time threshold. Preferably, in order to allow the condensation water to fully frost, the air conditioner can be controlled to operate in a relatively high frequency state.

[0076] After the frosting stage is completed, the air conditioner enters the defrosting stage, at which time the driving unit 3 drives the movable unit 4 to move along the side panel 12 until it completely covers the top panel 11 to avoid blocking the air inlet 2. The air conditioner then performs a defrosting operation, and self-cleansing is achieved through the water flow generated by the defrosting operation. Preferably, in order to improve the defrosting effect, in addition to moving the movable unit 4 to a position covering the top panel 11, the air conditioner can also be controlled to operate in a heating mode, and the internal fan can be controlled to operate according to the maximum wind speed.

[0077] Furthermore, after the defrosting stage is completed, the movable part 4 can be driven by the driving part 3 to return to the position covering the air inlet 2 to prevent new dust from entering the air conditioner after self-cleaning.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, in addition to combining temperature and time to determine the operating stage of the air conditioner as mentioned above, the operating frequency of the compressor can also be controlled in combination with the evaporator temperature and the exhaust gas of the air conditioner. This can further increase the thickness of the frost layer, thereby further improving the self-cleaning ability of the air conditioner.

[0079] In one embodiment, the control instruction is an anti-condensation instruction; in response to the control instruction, the control instruction is sent to the driving unit 3, so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 and cover the air inlet 2 or the top panel 11, including:

[0080] In response to the anti-condensation instruction, the anti-condensation instruction is sent to the driving unit 3 , so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 , and covers the top panel 11 and exposes the air inlet 2 .

[0081] This embodiment takes into account that during the operation of the existing air conditioner, when in the air conditioning cooling state, the air conditioner is prone to condensation due to the thin panel of the indoor unit. Therefore, this embodiment indirectly increases the thickness of the top panel 11 by controlling the movable part 4 to cover the top panel 11, so that the temperature difference between the top panel 11 and the air becomes smaller, thereby reducing the condensation generated by the air conditioner.

[0082] In actual application scenarios, when an anti-condensation instruction is received, the air conditioner controls the drive motor 32 to drive the transmission gear 33 to rotate, so as to drive the movable baffle to move along the side panel 12 until the air inlet 2 is fully opened and completely fits the top panel 11. At this time, the top panel 11 is equivalent to increasing the thickness of the movable baffle.

[0083] In one embodiment, the control instruction is a dustproof instruction; in response to the control instruction, the control instruction is sent to the driving unit 3, so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 and cover the air inlet 2 or the top panel 11, including:

[0084] In response to the dust prevention instruction, the dust prevention instruction is sent to the driving unit 3 , so that the driving unit 3 drives the movable part 4 to move along the side panel 12 , and covers the air inlet 2 and exposes the top panel 11 .

[0085] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is not in the operating mode, for example, when the air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the control unit can control the drive motor 32 to start and drive the transmission gear 33 to rotate, so as to transmit the movable baffle through the transmission gear 33, so that the movable baffle moves along the side panel 12 until the movable baffle completely blocks the air inlet 2, so that external dust cannot enter the interior of the air conditioner. In this way, even if the air conditioner is not in operation for a long time, it is still ensured that the air quality inside the air conditioner is good.

[0086] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, comprising the air conditioning control device as described in any one of the above items.

[0087] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a processor, a memory and a network interface connected through a system bus, wherein the memory may include a non-volatile storage medium and an internal memory.

[0089] The processor is used to provide computing and control capabilities to support the operation of the schematic block diagram of the entire air conditioner.

[0090] The internal memory provides an environment for the operation of a computer program in a non-volatile storage medium. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the processor can execute an air conditioning control method.

[0091] The network interface is used to communicate with other devices over the network.
