[0054] exist Figure 1 In the terminal shown, the user interface 1003 is mainly used to connect to the client (user end) and communicate data with the client; while the processor 1001 can be used to call the air conditioner control program stored in the memory 1004 and perform the following operations:

[0080] When the operating current of the outdoor unit is less than the second preset current, the step of obtaining the current operating parameters of the indoor fan of the air conditioner is performed, wherein the second preset current is less than the first preset current.

[0081] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, controlling the air conditioner includes the following steps:

[0082] Step S10: Obtain the current operating parameters of the indoor fan of the air conditioner, wherein the current operating parameters include the current wind speed or wind speed of the indoor fan;

[0083] In this embodiment, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an indoor fan. The indoor fan drives airflow to exchange heat with the indoor coil during heat exchange in the indoor unit, so that the indoor unit blows out hot or cold air. When the air conditioner is running in heat exchange mode, the current operating parameters of the indoor fan are acquired. The current operating parameters include the current speed value or the current fan speed of the indoor fan.

[0084] Optionally, the current windshield setting is a percentage, with the maximum windshield setting at 100%. The windshield can also be a gear setting, such as first gear, second gear, etc.

[0085] Optionally, the speed or damper control of the indoor fan is generally related to the indoor heat exchange demand. For example, when there is a large difference between the indoor temperature and the user-set temperature, the indoor fan usually operates at a higher speed or a higher damper to achieve rapid heat exchange. Therefore, the degree of indoor heat exchange demand can be determined based on the speed or damper of the indoor fan.

[0086] Optionally, during air conditioner operation, at least one of the operating current of the outdoor unit, the operating current of the compressor, and the operating current of the entire air conditioner can be obtained. If the operating current of the outdoor unit, the operating current of the compressor, and the operating current of the entire air conditioner are all less than the corresponding current threshold, then the step of obtaining the current operating parameters of the indoor fan is executed. The second preset current is less than the first preset current. For example, if the operating current of the outdoor unit is less than the second preset current, then the step of obtaining the current operating parameters of the indoor fan is executed. If the operating current of the outdoor unit is greater than or equal to the second preset current, then the step of obtaining the current operating parameters of the indoor fan is not executed, so as to avoid the outdoor unit operating current being too high and to avoid the compressor winding heating current being too high and damaging the compressor while meeting the air conditioner's low-temperature heating capacity.

[0087] Step S20: Adjust the current through the compressor winding of the air conditioner according to the current operating parameters to activate the heating function of the winding and heat the refrigerant in the compressor through the winding.

[0088] In this embodiment, after obtaining the current operating parameters of the indoor fan, the system determines how to adjust the current through the compressor windings to activate the winding heating function, and accordingly adjusts the intensity of the heating of the refrigerant in the compressor. For example, when the current fan speed is high, it is assumed that the indoor heat exchange demand is high, so the current through the compressor windings can be increased to enhance the heating of the refrigerant in the compressor. Conversely, when the current fan speed is low, it is assumed that the indoor heat exchange demand is low, so the current through the compressor windings may not be increased, or the current through the compressor windings may be decreased.

[0089] Optionally, the air conditioner's compressor is equipped with an electric motor, which has windings. The windings provide the magnetic field for the motor's rotation. During compressor operation, a fixed current is typically supplied to the windings to generate a fixed magnetic field. Increasing the current through the compressor windings increases the heat generated in the windings, which is then transferred to the refrigerant in the compressor. This increases the refrigerant's heat absorption, thereby improving the air conditioner's heat exchange capacity to match the indoor heat exchange requirements.

[0090] Optionally, multiple preset parameter ranges and preset adjustment rates corresponding to the preset parameter ranges are preset. When adjusting the current through the compressor winding according to the current operating parameters, the preset parameter range in which the current operating parameters are located can be determined, and the preset adjustment rate corresponding to the preset parameter range can be used as the corresponding current adjustment rate. The current through the compressor winding can be adjusted according to the current adjustment rate.

[0091] Optionally, the relationship between the current adjustment rate and the changes in current operating parameters can be determined based on whether it is necessary to increase or decrease the current passing through the windings. For example, when it is necessary to increase the current passing through the compressor windings, the current adjustment rate is positively correlated with the current operating parameters. That is, the larger the current operating parameters, the greater the indoor heat exchange demand. Therefore, a larger current adjustment rate can be obtained to heat the refrigerant in the compressor as quickly as possible, rapidly improving the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner. Conversely, when it is necessary to decrease the current passing through the compressor windings, the current adjustment rate is negatively correlated with the current operating parameters. That is, the smaller the current operating parameters, the smaller the indoor heat exchange demand. Therefore, a larger current adjustment rate can be obtained to reduce the heating intensity of the refrigerant in the compressor as quickly as possible, reducing the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner.

[0092] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the indoor heating demand is determined by the wind speed or wind deflector of the indoor fan, and the current through the compressor winding is adjusted accordingly to adjust the low-temperature heating capacity of the air conditioner. This avoids increasing the compressor speed to improve the low-temperature heating capacity of the air conditioner, thus improving the reliability of the air conditioner during low-temperature heating.

[0093] In another embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown above, in the above Figure 2 Based on the illustrated embodiment, step S20 includes:

[0094] Step S21: When the current operating parameter is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, increase the current through the winding;

[0095] Step S22: When the current operating parameter is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, reduce the current through the winding, wherein the second preset threshold is less than the first preset threshold.

[0096] In this embodiment, a first preset threshold and a second preset threshold are preset. These thresholds are used to determine whether the indoor heat exchange demand is too high or too low based on the current operating parameters of the indoor fan, thus determining whether to increase or decrease the current flowing through the windings. The second preset threshold is less than the first preset threshold. For example, if the current operating parameters are greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, the indoor heat exchange demand is considered too high, so the current flowing through the windings can be increased to improve the air conditioner's heat exchange capacity. If the current operating parameters are less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the indoor heat exchange demand is considered too low, so the current flowing through the windings can be decreased to reduce the air conditioner's heat exchange capacity and avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

[0097] Optionally, when the current operating parameters are greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, the indoor heat exchange demand can be considered moderate, and there is no need to adjust the current passing through the winding.

[0098] Optionally, when the current operating parameter is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, it can be further determined whether the current operating parameter is greater than the third preset threshold, wherein the third preset threshold is less than the second preset threshold. If the current operating parameter is greater than the third preset threshold, it indicates that the indoor heat exchange demand is too low. Therefore, the current through the winding can be reduced to decrease the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner and avoid unnecessary energy consumption. When the current operating parameter is less than or equal to the third preset threshold, it indicates that the indoor heat exchange is too low. There is no need to increase the heat exchange capacity of the indoor unit through heating. Therefore, the current current through the winding can be kept unchanged, that is, the refrigerant in the compressor is not heated through the winding, or the current current through the winding can be restored to the current before adjustment to deactivate the heating function of the winding.

[0099] Optionally, after adjusting the current through the compressor windings of the air conditioner according to the current operating parameters, the heat exchange capacity of the indoor unit will also change. Therefore, the current operating parameters of the indoor fan can be obtained again. When the current operating parameters are less than or equal to the third preset threshold, it is considered that there is no need to heat the refrigerant in the compressor through the windings. Therefore, the current through the windings can be restored to the current before adjustment, and the heating function of the windings can be turned off to avoid unnecessary energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0100] Optionally, after reacquiring the current operating parameters of the indoor fan, if the current operating parameters are greater than the third preset threshold, at least one of the operating current of the outdoor unit, the operating current of the compressor, and the operating current of the air conditioner can be acquired to detect whether at least one of the operating current of the outdoor unit, the operating current of the compressor, and the operating current of the air conditioner is too high. For example, if the operating current of the outdoor unit is greater than the first preset current, it indicates that the operating current of the outdoor unit is too high. Therefore, the current through the winding can be restored to the current before adjustment, that is, the heating function of the winding is exited. When the operating current of the outdoor unit is less than or equal to the first preset current, the step of adjusting the current through the winding of the air conditioner's compressor according to the current operating parameters is returned.

[0101] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, when the current operating parameter is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, the current through the winding is increased, and when the current operating parameter is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the current through the winding is decreased, so as to adjust the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner to match the indoor heat exchange demand.

[0102] In yet another embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, in Figures 2 to 3 Based on any embodiment, step S20 includes:

[0103] Step S23: When the current operating parameter is greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, the change in the operating parameter of the indoor fan is detected in real time.

[0104] In this embodiment, when the current operating parameter is greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, it can be further determined whether the current through the compressor winding needs to be increased or decreased to improve the accuracy of matching the air conditioner's heat exchange capacity with the indoor heat exchange demand. Specifically, the current operating parameters of the indoor fan are detected in real time or periodically, and the change in operating parameters is calculated based on the change in the current operating parameters. The current through the compressor winding is then adjusted more precisely based on the change in operating parameters.

[0105] Optionally, the change in operating parameters is the difference between the current operating parameters of the indoor fan and the previously detected operating parameters.

[0106] Step S24: When the change in the operating parameters is greater than the preset change, increase the current through the winding;

[0107] Step S25: When the change in the operating parameters is less than the preset change, reduce the current passing through the winding.

[0108] In this embodiment, when the change in operating parameters is greater than the preset change, it indicates that the change in indoor heat exchange demand is also large. Therefore, the current through the winding can be increased to meet the indoor heat exchange demand. Conversely, when the change in operating parameters is less than the preset change, it indicates that the change in indoor heat exchange demand is also small. Therefore, the current through the winding can be reduced to meet the indoor heat exchange demand while reducing unnecessary energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0109] Optionally, when the change in operating parameters equals the preset change, the current through the winding is kept constant.

[0110] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, when the current operating parameter is greater than the second preset threshold and less than the first preset threshold, the change in the operating parameter is used to further determine whether the current through the compressor winding needs to be increased or decreased, so that the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner is more accurately matched with the indoor heat exchange demand.

[0111] In an exemplary description, such as Figure 5 As shown, in Figures 2 to 4 Based on any of the embodiments shown, the control method of the air conditioner is exemplified as follows:

[0112] Step S1: Record the current A in heating mode.

[0113] Step S2: Determine whether A < A1-1 is true (A1 is preferably 18-25A, here we choose 19A). If true, proceed to step S3. If false, return to step S1.

[0114] Step S3: Turn on the compressor winding heating.

[0115] Step S4: Record the indoor unit fan speed d.

[0116] Step S5: Control the compressor winding heating current according to the following method

[0117] When d ≥ d1, the current is increased at a rate of X1A / s.

[0118] When d ≥ d2, the current increases at a rate of X2A / s.

[0119] When d ≥ d3, the current is increased at a rate of X3A / s.

[0120] When d4 wind speed < d < d3 wind speed, △d = dn - dn-1 (data is collected every 60 seconds).

[0121] When Δd > B, the current increases at a rate of X4A / s.

[0122] When Δd = B, it remains unchanged.

[0123] When Δd < B, reduce the current at a rate of X5A / s.

[0124] When d≤d4, reduce the current at a rate of X6A / s.

[0125] When d≤d5, reduce the current at a rate of X7A / s.

[0126] (Here, d1 to d5 are preferably between 50% and 100%; X1 > X2 > X3 > X4 are preferably between 0.01 and 0.1; X7 > X6 > X5 are preferably between 0.1 and 0.6; and the B value is preferably between 0 and 10%.)

[0127] Step S6: Determine whether d≤d6 is true (d6<d5, preferably 30%~50%). If true, proceed to step S8; otherwise, return to step S7.

[0128] Step S7: Determine whether A≥A1 is true. If true, proceed to step S8; otherwise, proceed to step S5.

[0129] Step S8: Disconnect compressor winding heating

[0130] Where d is the real-time fan speed of the indoor unit, d1 to d6 are the preset thresholds of the indoor unit fan speed, Δd is the real-time change of the indoor unit fan speed, dn and dn-1 are the fan speeds collected every 60 seconds when d4 < d < d3, b is the preset threshold of the real-time change of the indoor unit fan speed, A is the current, A1 is the preset threshold of the current, X1 to X7 are the preset thresholds of the current rate, and A / S is the unit of current rate.

[0131] In this exemplary description, the heating capacity at low temperatures is improved by heating the compressor windings and transferring the heat to the indoor unit evaporator through the refrigerant via the windings. This example can be applied not only to conventional compressors but also to inverter compressors specially designed for low-temperature heating (such as vapor injection enthalpy-increasing compressors) to further enhance heating capacity. This example provides a method to control the heating current of this technology by changing the indoor unit fan speed, which can more effectively utilize the technology and improve its reliability.

[0132] Reference Figures 6-10 The control technology of the air conditioner compressor and the winding heating function are explained, with examples as follows:

[0133] like Figure 6 As shown, the control circuit topology of the variable frequency compressor includes a control chip, a three-phase bridge drive circuit composed of power switching transistors, and the variable frequency compressor. The drive circuit can consist of six IGBTs, six MOSFETs, or an intelligent power module (IPM), and also includes anti-parallel diodes. The control chip outputs a compressor drive signal, which controls the operation of the variable frequency compressor through the drive circuit. Current sensors (three, two, or one) detect the compressor phase current. The variable frequency compressor is driven by an embedded permanent magnet synchronous motor.
