[0042] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiment of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0046] The invention provides a method for detecting welding blockage of an air conditioner, wherein the air conditioner may be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet-type air conditioner, a window-type air conditioner, a ceiling-mounted air conditioner, or the like.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a variable flow divider is provided in the indoor heat exchanger or the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, and a variable flow divider can also be provided in both the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger. The variable flow divider includes: a reversing valve 3, a first flow divider pipeline 1, a second flow divider pipeline 2, and at least two heat exchange pipelines 4. The first flow divider pipeline 1 is connected to the second flow divider pipeline 2 through at least two heat exchange pipelines 4. The first flow divider pipeline 1 and the second flow divider pipeline 2 are both provided with a main pipeline and a plurality of branch pipelines, and a one-way valve 10 can be provided in some of the branch pipelines as needed.

[0048] The reversing valve 3 is a two-position four-way reversing valve, and is provided with a first communication port 31, a second communication port 32, a third communication port 33 and a fourth communication port 34. The reversing valve 3 has a first position and a second position. The first communication port 31 is connected to the refrigerant inlet, and the third communication port 33 is connected to the refrigerant outlet.

[0049] The diversion state is divided into single-way diversion and multi-way diversion. In the case of multi-way diversion, the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner works in multiple ways. In the case of single-way diversion, the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner works in a single way.

[0050] During multi-way diversion, the reversing valve 3 is in the first position, the first connecting port 31 is connected to the second connecting port 32, and the third connecting port 33 is connected to the fourth connecting port 34. At this time, the second connecting port 32 is connected to the first diversion pipeline 1, and the fourth connecting port 34 is connected to the second diversion pipeline 2. The refrigerant at the refrigerant inlet enters from the first diversion pipeline 1, is diverted in the branch pipeline of the first diversion pipeline 1, enters each heat exchange pipeline 4 to exchange heat with the indoor air, and then enters the main pipeline of the second diversion pipeline 2 through the branch pipeline, and finally passes through the fourth connecting port 34 and the third connecting port 33, and is discharged from the refrigerant outlet, realizing heat exchange by multiple pipelines.

[0051] During single-way diversion, the reversing valve 3 is in the second position, the first connecting port 31 is connected to the fourth connecting port 34, and the third connecting port 33 is connected to the second connecting port 32. At this time, the second connecting port 32 is connected to the second diversion pipeline 2, and the fourth connecting port 34 is connected to the first diversion pipeline 1. The refrigerant at the refrigerant inlet enters from the second diversion pipeline 2. Since the one-way valve 10 is set in part of the pipeline in the first diversion pipeline 1, under its restriction, the refrigerant can only be discharged by heat exchange in part of the heat exchange pipeline 4, and the heat exchange pipeline can be reduced at this time.

[0052] In this embodiment, two heat exchange pipelines 4 are taken as examples, namely the first heat exchange pipeline and the second heat exchange pipeline. The first branch pipeline 1 and the second branch pipeline 2 are each provided with a main pipeline and two branch pipelines. A check valve 10 is provided in one branch pipeline of the first branch pipeline 1. Assume that the check valve 10 is provided in only one branch pipeline of the first branch pipeline 1.

[0053] During multi-way diversion, the reversing valve 3 is in the first position, the first connecting port 31 is connected to the second connecting port 32, and the third connecting port 33 is connected to the fourth connecting port 34. At this time, the second connecting port 32 is connected to the first diversion pipeline 1, and the fourth connecting port 34 is connected to the second diversion pipeline 2. The refrigerant at the refrigerant inlet enters from the first diversion pipeline 1, is diverted in the branch pipeline of the first diversion pipeline 1, enters the first heat exchange pipeline and the second heat exchange pipeline respectively to exchange heat with the indoor air, and then enters the main pipeline of the second diversion pipeline 2 through the branch pipeline, and finally passes through the fourth connecting port 34 and the third connecting port 33, and is discharged from the refrigerant outlet, realizing simultaneous heat exchange of the two pipelines.

[0054] In the case of single-way diversion, the reversing valve 3 is in the second position, the first connecting port 31 is connected to the fourth connecting port 34, and the third connecting port 33 is connected to the second connecting port 32. At this time, the second connecting port 32 is connected to the second diversion pipeline 2, and the fourth connecting port 34 is connected to the first diversion pipeline 1. The refrigerant at the refrigerant inlet enters from the second diversion pipeline 2. Since the one-way valve 10 is set in the branch pipeline in the first diversion pipeline 1, under its restriction, the refrigerant can only be discharged by heat exchange in the first heat exchange pipeline 4. At this time, heat exchange is only performed through one heat exchange pipeline 4.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the method for detecting welding blockage of air conditioner includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S310: Obtain the change of the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger.

[0057] After the air conditioner is started, in order to accurately determine the location of the welding blockage, the air conditioner is first controlled to work in a single-path diversion mode. The air conditioner can determine the change in the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger through the sensor. If the indoor heat exchanger needs to be verified, the change in the refrigerant temperature in the indoor heat exchanger is obtained. If the outdoor heat exchanger needs to be verified, the change in the refrigerant temperature in the outdoor heat exchanger is obtained.

[0058] Specifically, the sensor can detect the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger when it is turned on, and detect the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger again after a period of time after being turned on, such as 1 minute, to determine the change in the refrigerant temperature.

[0059] Step S320: determining the welding blockage of the air conditioner based on the change situation;

[0060] After determining the change in refrigerant temperature, determine the welding blockage of the air conditioner.

[0061] If the change in the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet is less than or equal to the preset value, for example, the change in the refrigerant temperature is less than or equal to 5°C, it is determined that the air conditioner is in a partially welded state. In other words, in the current diversion state, the air conditioner cannot work normally, and the heat exchange pipeline in the current heat exchanger is welded. If the change in the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet is greater than the preset value, for example, the change in the refrigerant temperature is greater than 5°C, it is determined that the air conditioner is in a normal state. In other words, in the current diversion state, the air conditioner can work normally.

[0062] Step S330: adjusting the diversion state of the air conditioner and verifying the welding blockage of the air conditioner.

[0063] After initially determining the weld blockage location, adjust the air conditioner's diversion state. During the adjustment process, you can first determine the current heat exchange pipeline of the heat exchanger; adjust the air conditioner to divert in multiple ways or work with another heat exchange pipeline. Determine whether the air conditioner can work normally in other diversion states, thereby verifying the weld blockage situation.

[0064] The method for detecting welding blockage of an air conditioner provided by the present invention first obtains the change in the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger to preliminarily determine the welding blockage condition of the air conditioner. After determining the welding blockage condition, the diversion state of the air conditioner is adjusted to verify the welding blockage condition of the air conditioner to determine whether welding blockage occurs in the air conditioner under different diversion states, thereby comprehensively determining the overall welding blockage condition of the air conditioner to avoid directly treating the heat exchange pipeline as waste.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, the steps of adjusting the diversion state of the air conditioner and verifying the welding blockage of the air conditioner specifically include:

[0066] Step S410: Adjust the diversion state of the air conditioner and obtain the change of the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet again.

[0067] After initially determining the weld blockage location, adjust the air conditioner's diversion status. During the adjustment process, you can first obtain and determine the current heat exchange pipeline of the heat exchanger; adjust the air conditioner to work with multi-way diversion or another heat exchange pipeline. After the adjustment, obtain the change of the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet again; based on the changes obtained again, verify the weld blockage of the air conditioner.

[0068] Step S420: Based on the changes obtained again, verify the welding blockage condition of the air conditioner.

[0069] After the adjustment, the change of the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger is obtained again; based on the change obtained again, the welding blockage of the air conditioner is verified.

[0070] If the change in the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet obtained again is less than or equal to the preset value, and the air conditioner was previously determined to be in a partially welded state, then the air conditioner is verified to be in a completely welded state; if the change in the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet obtained again is less than or equal to the preset value, and the air conditioner was previously determined to be in a normal state, then the air conditioner is verified to be in a partially welded state; if the change in the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet obtained again is greater than the preset value, and the air conditioner was previously determined to be in a partially welded state, then the air conditioner is verified to be in a partially welded state; if the change in the refrigerant temperature at the heat exchanger outlet obtained again is greater than the preset value, and the air conditioner was previously determined to be in a normal state, then the air conditioner is verified to be in a normal state.

[0071] Specifically, if the air conditioner is adjusted to work with another heat exchange pipeline, and the air conditioner is only provided with two heat exchange pipelines, then the other heat exchange pipeline is detected to see if it is blocked by welding. Similarly, the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger is detected by a sensor. After a period of time after the start-up, for example, 1 minute later, the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger is detected again to determine the change in the corresponding refrigerant temperature of the other heat exchange pipeline. If the change in the corresponding refrigerant temperature of the other heat exchange pipeline is less than or equal to the preset value, it is determined that the other heat exchange pipeline is partially blocked by welding. If the previous heat exchange pipeline is determined to be blocked by welding, it is determined that the air conditioner is in a completely blocked state, and a prompt is given to scrap it. If the change in the corresponding refrigerant temperature of the other heat exchange pipeline is greater than the preset value, it is determined that the other heat exchange pipeline is in a normal state. In other words, the other heat exchange pipeline is working normally. If the previously detected heat exchange pipeline is also normal, it is verified that the air conditioner is in a normal state. If the previously detected heat exchange pipeline is abnormal, the air conditioner is verified to be partially blocked by welding, and the welding blockage position of the air conditioner can be determined, so that the air conditioner can work in a normal diversion state without scrapping the entire heat exchanger. Although it is partially blocked by welding, the heat exchanger can still be used normally.

[0072] When there are three or more heat exchange pipelines, the flow diversion state can be further adjusted to determine the welding blockage of all heat exchange pipelines. In order to simplify the verification process, the air conditioner can be directly adjusted to multi-way diversion. If the air conditioner is adjusted to work with multi-way diversion, the multi-way is tested for welding blockage. The refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger is also detected by the sensor. After a period of time after the start, for example, 1 minute, the refrigerant temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger is detected again to determine the change of the corresponding refrigerant temperature of all heat exchange pipelines.

[0073] If the change in the refrigerant temperature during multi-way diversion is less than or equal to the preset value, it is determined that the multi-way diversion is also not normal. In other words, if the air conditioner cannot work normally during multi-way diversion, it can usually be determined that the heat exchange pipeline of the entire heat exchanger is welded and blocked, and it is prompted to scrap it. If the change in the refrigerant temperature during multi-way diversion is greater than the preset value, it is determined that the air conditioner is in a normal state during multi-way diversion. In other words, the air conditioner can work normally during multi-way diversion. If the heat exchange pipelines detected before are also normal, although the specific conditions of all the heat exchange pipelines cannot be determined at this time, it can be quickly determined that the air conditioner can work normally during multi-way diversion, and the air conditioner can be locked to work in a multi-way state without scrapping the entire heat exchanger.

[0074] The following is a description of a control system for air conditioner welding blockage provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The control system for air conditioner welding blockage described below and the detection method described above can be referenced to each other.
