[0002] At present, the lower part of the air-conditioning system compressor is lubricating oil. During the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant (coolant) has the characteristic of migrating towards the lower temperature. When the condenser temperature is higher than the external temperature of the compressor, the refrigerant is likely to flow back from the condenser and migrate to the oil layer inside the compressor, diluting the compressor lubricating oil, resulting in poor lubrication and wear of the compressor. When the compressor is running at low frequency, the refrigerant migration and dilution of the lubricating oil are likely to occur.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to solve the above problems, a large amount of reliability verification is usually required before the air conditioner leaves the factory to avoid them. However, the operating environment of the air conditioner is relatively complex, and it is difficult to verify a series of possible situations in the laboratory, that is, the reliability of the air conditioner system cannot be ensured.

[0034] For example, the air conditioner Figure 1A In addition to the components shown, other components may also be included, such as a muffler, a gas-liquid separator, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] It should be noted that Figure 1A The air conditioner system structure shown is only an exemplary structure in the embodiment of the present application. The application scenario of the air conditioner control method in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to Figure 1A The air conditioner system structure shown.

[0036] In related technologies, in order to avoid the problem of liquid refrigerant entering the compressor and diluting the lubricating oil, a large amount of reliability verification is usually required before the air conditioner leaves the factory. However, the operating environment of the air conditioner is relatively complex, and it is difficult to verify a series of possible situations in the laboratory. That is, this method cannot ensure the reliability of the air conditioner system.

[0037] In view of the above technical problems, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the embodiments provided herein are merely for explaining the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the embodiments provided below are partial embodiments for implementing the present application, rather than providing all embodiments for implementing the present application. In the absence of conflict, the technical solutions described in the present application may be implemented in any combination.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this application, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a method or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only the elements explicitly stated, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to the implementation of the method or apparatus. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other related elements (such as steps in the method or units in the apparatus, for example, a unit may be part of a processor, part of a program or software, etc.) in the method or apparatus comprising the element.

[0039] The term "and / or" herein simply describes an association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent the existence of three situations: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. Furthermore, the term "at least one" herein refers to any combination of at least two of any one or more of a plurality of items. For example, "at least one of A, B, and C" can represent any one or more elements selected from the set consisting of A, B, and C.

[0040] For example, the air conditioner control method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a series of steps, but the air conditioner control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the recorded steps. Similarly, the air conditioner control device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a series of modules, but the air conditioner control device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the modules that are clearly recorded, and may also include modules that need to be set up to obtain relevant information or perform processing based on information.

[0041] The embodiments of the present application can be implemented based on an air conditioner control device, which can be described in the general context of computer system executable instructions (such as program modules) executed by a computer system. Generally, program modules can include routines, programs, object programs, components, logic, data structures, etc., which perform specific tasks or implement specific abstract data types.

[0042] Figure 1B This is a flow chart of an air conditioner control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The air conditioner control method can be applied to the above air conditioner system, such as Figure 1B As shown, the process may include:

[0043] Step 100: Acquire a first temperature outside the compressor and a second temperature of the condenser.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, temperature sensors can be pre-installed on the outside of the compressor (the outer surface of the compressor) and on the condenser, respectively. The temperatures of the outside of the compressor and the condenser are detected by the installed temperature sensors, respectively, and then the first temperature and the second temperature can be obtained. Here, there is no limitation on the location of the temperature sensor. For example, the temperature sensor can be installed at the bottom of the compressor and on the condenser, or at other locations of the compressor and the condenser.

[0045] Here, the condenser can be either an indoor heat exchanger or an outdoor heat exchanger, depending on the operating mode of the air conditioner. For example, when the air conditioner is operating in cooling or dehumidification mode, the indoor heat exchanger quickly switches to the evaporator, while the outdoor heat exchanger switches to the condenser. When the air conditioner is operating in heating mode, the indoor heat exchanger quickly switches to the condenser, while the outdoor heat exchanger switches to the evaporator.

[0046] Exemplarily, obtaining a first temperature outside the compressor and a second temperature of the condenser may include: upon determining that the operating time of the air conditioner based on the current operating mode reaches a set threshold, obtaining the first temperature outside the compressor and the second temperature of the condenser.

[0047] For example, the current operating mode of the air conditioner may be a cooling mode, a dehumidification mode, a heating mode, etc.; this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0048] For example, after the air conditioner is started, a timer can be used to measure the operating time of the air conditioner. When it is determined that the operating time of the air conditioner in the current operating mode has reached a set threshold, the first temperature outside the compressor and the second temperature of the condenser are obtained. Here, the set threshold can be set according to actual conditions and is not limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, it can be 15 minutes, 20 minutes, etc.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, if it is determined that the operating time of the air conditioner based on the current working mode reaches the set threshold, it means that the working state of the air conditioner is relatively stable, and the first temperature and the second temperature obtained at this time are also relatively stable. Subsequent control of the air conditioner based on the first temperature and the second temperature obtained at this time can improve the stability of the control.

[0050] Step 101: According to the temperature difference of the first temperature minus the second temperature, the operating state of the air conditioner is adjusted so that the temperature difference of the first temperature minus the second temperature increases.

[0051] In this embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the first temperature outside the compressor and the second temperature of the condenser according to the above steps, the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is calculated. For example, assuming that the first temperature and the second temperature are 30 degrees and 20 degrees, respectively, the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is 10 degrees. If the first temperature and the second temperature are 20 degrees and 30 degrees, respectively, the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is -10 degrees.

[0052] For example, after obtaining the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature, the operating state of the air conditioner can be adjusted using the temperature difference. Adjusting the operating state of the air conditioner can include adjusting the operating state of a target component in the air conditioner; the target component includes any one or more of a compressor, an outdoor fan, and an indoor fan. In other words, the operating state of the compressor in the air conditioner can be adjusted using the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature, the operating state of the outdoor fan in the air conditioner can be adjusted using the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature, and the operating state of the indoor fan in the air conditioner can be adjusted using the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature.

[0053] Exemplarily, adjusting the operating state of the air conditioner based on the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature may include: determining that the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is less than or equal to a set value, and performing a first operation; the first operation includes any one or more of reducing the speed of the outdoor fan, increasing the speed of the outdoor fan, reducing the speed of the indoor fan, increasing the speed of the indoor fan, reducing the frequency of the compressor, and increasing the frequency of the compressor.

[0054] Here, the range of the set value can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the range can be [-15, 10], or other. For example, assuming that the set value is 0, when it is determined that the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is less than or equal to 0, the first operation is performed.

[0055] For example, any one or more operations included in the first operation may also include a running time when executed; the running time value may be set based on actual conditions and is not limited in the present embodiment. For example, it may be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, etc. Assuming that the first operation is to reduce the speed of the outdoor fan, the corresponding first operation may be to reduce the speed of the outdoor fan by 100 revolutions per minute and run it for 5 minutes. The remaining five operations in the first operation are executed in a similar manner and are not further described here.

[0056] For example, if it is determined that the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is greater than the set value, and the set value is a positive number, it means that the temperature outside the compressor is greater than the temperature of the condenser; at this time, the possibility of refrigerant entering the compressor is low, and the first operation can be omitted, but step 100 can be re-executed.

[0057] Exemplarily, the above method may further include: after executing the first operation, determining that the temperature difference at the current sampling moment is less than or equal to the temperature difference at the previous sampling moment, and executing a second operation; the second operation is an operation opposite to the first operation.

[0058] Here, the second operation may include any one or more of increasing the speed of the outdoor fan, decreasing the speed of the outdoor fan, increasing the speed of the indoor fan, decreasing the speed of the indoor fan, increasing the frequency of the compressor, and decreasing the frequency of the compressor.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, if after executing the first operation, it is determined that the temperature difference at the current sampling moment is less than or equal to the temperature difference at the previous sampling moment, it means that the temperature difference of the first temperature minus the second temperature is decreasing; and the reason for this situation may be that during the adjustment process, the first temperature outside the compressor drops faster than the second temperature of the condenser, or the first temperature outside the compressor rises slower than the second temperature of the condenser. At this time, it is necessary to execute a second operation opposite to the first operation, so that the first temperature outside the compressor drops slower than the second temperature of the condenser, or the first temperature outside the compressor rises faster than the second temperature of the condenser, thereby increasing the temperature difference of the first temperature minus the second temperature.

[0060] For example, if after executing the first operation, it is determined that the temperature difference at the current sampling moment is greater than the temperature difference at the previous sampling moment, it means that the temperature difference of the first temperature minus the second temperature is increasing; at this time, there is no need to execute the second operation, but step 100 is re-executed.

[0061] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner can ensure that when adjusting the operating state of the target component in the air conditioner, the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is controlled to increase by executing the above-mentioned first operation and second operation, which is conducive to making the condenser temperature change towards a trend lower than the compressor temperature, thereby reducing the possibility of refrigerant entering the compressor, preventing compressor wear problems due to reduced lubrication performance, extending the service life of the compressor, and ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner system.

[0062] In practical applications, steps 100 to 101 may be implemented by a processor in an air conditioner control device. The processor may be at least one of an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a digital signal processor (DSP), a digital signal processing device (DSPD), a programmable logic device (PLD), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a central processing unit (CPU), a controller, a microcontroller, and a microprocessor.

[0063] The embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner control method, device, electronic device, air conditioner, and computer storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a first temperature outside the compressor and a second temperature of the condenser; and adjusting the operating state of the air conditioner based on the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature, so that the temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature increases. It can be seen that the embodiments of the present application continuously adjust the operating state of the air conditioner based on the temperature difference between the first temperature outside the compressor and the second temperature of the condenser, so that the temperature difference between the two tends to increase. In this way, no matter how complex the operating environment of the air conditioner is, the embodiments of the present application, by adjusting the operating state of the air conditioner, control the temperature difference between the compressor and the condenser, which is conducive to causing the condenser temperature to change toward a trend lower than the compressor temperature, thereby reducing the possibility of refrigerant entering the compressor and ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner system.

[0064] In order to better reflect the purpose of this application, further examples are given based on the above embodiments of this application.

[0065] Figure 1C This is a flow chart of another air conditioner control method in an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1C and Figure 1A , the process may include the following steps:

[0066] Step A1: The air conditioner operates in cooling or dehumidification mode.

[0067] Step A2: The air conditioner starts and runs for X minutes (e.g., 15 minutes).

[0068] Step A3: Detect the compressor bottom temperature T 082 and condenser temperature T 071 .

[0069] Here, the compressor bottom temperature T 082 Represents the first temperature mentioned above, the condenser temperature T 071 represents the second temperature.

[0070] Step A4: Determine T 082 -T 071 ≤△T.

[0071] Here, judge T 082 With T 071 Is the temperature difference less than or equal to ΔT, where ΔT represents the set value and the value range of ΔT is [-15, 10]. If yes, go to step A5; if not, go to step A3.

[0072] Step A5: Execute the first operation.

[0073] Here, assuming that the first operation performed is to reduce the rotation speed of the outdoor fan by 100 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes, the corresponding effect is that the condenser temperature is increased and the compressor power is increased.

[0074] Step A6: Determine T 082n -T 071n ≤T 082n-1 -T 071n-1 If yes, go to step A7, if no, go to step A3.

[0075] Here, the current sampling time T is determined 082n With T 071n Is the temperature difference less than or equal to the temperature at the previous sampling time T 082n-1 With T 071n-1 If yes, go to step A7, if no, go to step A3.

[0076] Step A7: Execute the second operation.

[0077] Here, assuming that the second operation is to increase the speed of the outdoor fan by 100 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes, the corresponding effect is that the condenser temperature decreases and the compressor power decreases.

[0078] Figure 1D This is a flow chart of another air conditioner control method in the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1D and Figure 1A , the process may include the following steps:

[0079] Step B1: The air conditioner operates in heating mode.

[0080] Step B2: The air conditioner starts and runs for X minutes (eg, 15 minutes).

[0081] Step B3: Detect the compressor bottom temperature T 082 and condenser temperature T 02 .

[0082] Here, the compressor bottom temperature T 082 Represents the first temperature mentioned above, the condenser temperature T 02 represents the second temperature.

[0083] Step B4: Determine T 082 -T 02 ≤△T.

[0084] Here, judge T 082 With T 02 Is the temperature difference less than or equal to ΔT, where ΔT represents the set value and the value range of ΔT can be [-15, 10]. If yes, go to step B5; if not, go to step B3.

[0085] Step B5: Execute the first operation.

[0086] Here, assuming that the first operation performed is to reduce the rotation speed of the outdoor fan by 100 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes, the corresponding effect is that the condenser temperature is reduced and the compressor power is decreased.

[0087] Step B6: Determine T 082n -T 02n ≤T 082n-1 -T 02n-1 If yes, go to step B7, if no, go to step B3.

[0088] Here, the current sampling time T is determined 082n With T 02n Is the temperature difference less than or equal to the temperature at the previous sampling time T 082n-1 With T 02n-1 If yes, go to step B7, if no, go to step B3.

[0089] Step B7: Execute the second operation.

[0090] Here, assuming that the second operation is to increase the speed of the outdoor fan by 100 revolutions per minute for 5 minutes, the corresponding effect is that the condenser temperature is increased and the compressor power is increased. For example, after executing step B7, step B3 is continued.

[0091] according to Figure 1C 、 Figure 1D It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application is a process of continuously adjusting the operating state of the air conditioner according to the temperature difference between the compressor and the condenser, so that the temperature difference between the bottom of the compressor and the condenser tends to increase; in this way, no matter how complex the operating environment of the air conditioner is, it is beneficial to make the condenser temperature change towards a trend lower than the compressor temperature, thereby reducing the possibility of refrigerant entering the compressor and ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner system.
