[0025] In order to enable ordinary persons in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0027] At present, during the startup process of a variable frequency air conditioner, after the compressor is started, it usually takes about 3 minutes to increase from low frequency to high frequency according to the conventional frequency increase rate. This is time-consuming and has poor startup efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of users who want to quickly obtain cooling or heating in hot or cold weather.

[0028] Figure 1 The flowchart of the startup control method of the air conditioner according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. It should be noted that the startup control method of the air conditioner according to the present embodiment is executed by a controller in the air conditioner, or by software in the controller in the air conditioner. The following description is made by taking the controller in the air conditioner as an example.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 101, obtaining the startup working mode, startup working parameters and target working parameters of the air conditioner.

[0031] In the disclosed embodiment, the startup working mode is the working mode when the air conditioner is started, such as cooling mode, heating mode, etc. The startup working parameters are the working parameters when the air conditioner is started, such as the working parameters of the air conditioner itself, the environmental parameters when the air conditioner is working, etc. The working parameters of the air conditioner itself are, for example, the air conditioner voltage, indoor pipe temperature, outdoor exhaust temperature, etc. The environmental parameters when the air conditioner is working are, for example, the outdoor ambient temperature, the indoor ambient temperature, etc.

[0032] The target operating parameters are parameters set by the user when the air conditioner is started, or parameters calculated based on the parameters set by the user. The parameters set by the user may be, for example, a target indoor temperature. The target indoor temperature may be, for example, a target cooling temperature, a target heating temperature, etc.

[0033] Step 102, determining a quick start condition according to the start working mode.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of the controller in the air conditioner executing step 102 may be, for example, determining the shutdown time of the air conditioner; and determining the quick startup condition according to the startup working mode and the shutdown time.

[0035] Among them, the process of the controller determining the shutdown duration of the air conditioner can, for example, be to obtain the current startup time point of the air conditioner; determine the shutdown time point when the air conditioner was last shut down; obtain the time difference between the current startup time point and the shutdown time point; and use the time difference as the shutdown duration.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of the controller determining the quick start condition according to the startup working mode and the shutdown time can be, for example, that when the startup working mode is the cooling mode and the shutdown time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the cooling initial startup condition is used as the quick start condition; when the startup working mode is the cooling mode and the shutdown time is less than the first time threshold, the cooling non-initial startup condition is used as the quick start condition; when the startup working mode is the heating mode and the shutdown time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the heating initial startup condition is used as the quick start condition; when the startup working mode is the heating mode and the shutdown time is greater than or equal to the first time threshold, the heating non-initial startup condition is used as the quick start condition.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the initial refrigeration start-up conditions include at least one of the following: the outdoor ambient temperature is within the preset refrigeration temperature range; the air conditioner voltage is greater than or equal to the first voltage threshold; the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the indoor target temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature deviation threshold; the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor pipe temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature is less than the second temperature deviation threshold.

[0038] The preset temperature range to be refrigerated may be, for example, (20°C, 40°C). That is, when the initial refrigeration start-up condition includes that the outdoor ambient temperature is within the preset temperature range to be refrigerated, if the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than 20°C and less than 40°C, it means that the air conditioner meets the initial refrigeration start-up condition.

[0039] The first voltage threshold may be, for example, 160 V. The first temperature deviation threshold may be, for example, 2° C. The second temperature deviation threshold may be, for example, 2° C.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-initial start-up conditions for refrigeration include at least one of the following: the outdoor ambient temperature is within the preset temperature range to be refrigerated; the air conditioner voltage is greater than or equal to the first voltage threshold; the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the indoor target temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature deviation threshold; the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor pipe temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature is less than the second temperature deviation threshold; the outdoor exhaust temperature is less than the preset temperature threshold.

[0041] The preset temperature threshold may be 60° C., for example.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the initial start-up conditions for heating are the same as the non-initial start-up conditions for heating, and the initial start-up conditions for heating include at least one of the following: the outdoor ambient temperature is within the preset heating temperature range; the air conditioner voltage is greater than or equal to the second voltage threshold; the difference between the indoor target temperature and the indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the third temperature deviation threshold; the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor pipe temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature is less than the fourth temperature deviation threshold.

[0043] The preset temperature range for heating may be, for example, (5°C, 15°C). That is, when the initial heating start-up condition includes that the outdoor ambient temperature is within the preset temperature range for heating, if the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than 5°C and less than 15°C, it means that the air conditioner meets the initial heating start-up condition.

[0044] The second voltage threshold may be, for example, 160 V. The third temperature deviation threshold may be, for example, 2° C. The fourth temperature deviation threshold may be, for example, 2° C.

[0045] Step 103, when the air conditioner meets the quick start condition, determine the intermediate operating frequency and the target operating frequency according to the start working mode, the start working parameters and the target working parameters.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, before step 103, the controller in the air conditioner may also perform the following process: determining whether the air conditioner meets the quick start condition according to the start-up working mode, start-up working parameters and target working parameters of the air conditioner.

[0047] Step 104, controlling the air conditioner to increase from the starting operating frequency to the intermediate operating frequency at a first frequency increase rate, and controlling the air conditioner to increase from the intermediate operating frequency to the target operating frequency at a second frequency increase rate; the first frequency increase rate is greater than the second frequency increase rate.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first frequency increase rate may be, for example, 10 Hz / s; the second frequency increase rate may be, for example, 5 Hz / s, etc.

[0049] In the startup control method of the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller in the air conditioner obtains the startup working mode, startup working parameters and target working parameters of the air conditioner; determines the quick startup condition according to the startup working mode; when the air conditioner meets the quick startup condition, determines the intermediate working frequency and the target working frequency according to the startup working mode, the startup working parameters and the target working parameters; controls the air conditioner to increase from the startup working frequency to the intermediate working frequency at a first frequency increase rate, and controls the air conditioner to increase from the intermediate working frequency to the target working frequency at a second frequency increase rate; the first frequency increase rate is greater than the second frequency increase rate, so that when the air conditioner meets the quick startup condition, it can first be combined with the larger first frequency increase rate to quickly increase to the intermediate working frequency, and then combined with the smaller second frequency increase rate to increase to the target working frequency, so that it can quickly provide cooling or heat in hot or cold weather and improve startup efficiency.

[0050] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a startup control method for an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the startup control method for the air conditioner according to this embodiment is executed by a controller in the air conditioner, or by software in the controller in the air conditioner. The following description is made by taking the controller in the air conditioner as an example.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0052] Step 201, obtaining the startup working mode, startup working parameters and target working parameters of the air conditioner.

[0053] Step 202, determining a quick start condition according to the start working mode.

[0054] Step 203, when the air conditioner meets the quick start condition, the target operating frequency is determined according to the start working mode, the start working parameters and the target working parameters.

[0055] Step 204, determining the shutdown duration of the air conditioner.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of the controller in the air conditioner executing step 204 may, for example, be to obtain the current startup time point of the air conditioner; determine the shutdown time point when the air conditioner was last shut down; obtain the time difference between the current startup time point and the shutdown time point; and use the time difference as the shutdown duration.

[0057] Step 205, determining an intermediate operating frequency according to the startup operating mode, the startup operating parameters, the target operating parameters and the shutdown duration.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of the controller in the air conditioner executing step 205 may, for example, be to determine the absolute value of the difference between the indoor ambient temperature in the startup working parameters and the indoor target temperature in the target working parameters; determine at least one temperature deviation range corresponding to the startup working mode; and determine the intermediate working frequency based on at least one temperature deviation range, the absolute value of the difference, and the shutdown time.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of the controller determining the intermediate operating frequency based on at least one temperature deviation range, the absolute value of the difference and the shutdown time length can, for example, be as follows: determining a target temperature deviation value range to which the absolute value of the difference belongs in at least one temperature deviation range; determining a reference operating frequency and a frequency deviation value based on the target temperature deviation range; when the shutdown time length is greater than or equal to a first time length threshold, using the reference operating frequency as the intermediate operating frequency; when the shutdown time length is less than the first time length threshold, using the difference between the reference operating frequency and the frequency deviation value as the intermediate operating frequency.

[0060] When the startup working mode is the cooling mode, the corresponding at least one temperature deviation range may include at least one of the following: [2°C, 3°C), [3°C, 4°C), [4°C, 5°C), etc. In the cooling mode, there is a corresponding relationship between the temperature deviation range and the reference operating frequency and the frequency deviation value. For example, the reference operating frequency corresponding to the temperature deviation range [2°C, 3°C) may be 70Hz, and the corresponding frequency deviation value may be 8Hz, for example. For another example, the reference operating frequency corresponding to the temperature deviation range [3°C, 4°C) may be 75Hz, and the corresponding frequency deviation value may be 5Hz, for example. For another example, the reference operating frequency corresponding to the temperature deviation range [4°C, 5°C) may be 80Hz, and the corresponding frequency deviation value may be 3Hz, for example.

[0061] When the startup working mode is the heating mode, the corresponding at least one temperature deviation range may include at least one of the following: [2°C, 3°C), [3°C, 4°C), [4°C, 5°C), etc. In the heating mode, there is a corresponding relationship between the temperature deviation range and the reference operating frequency and the frequency deviation value. For example, the reference operating frequency corresponding to the temperature deviation range [2°C, 3°C) may be 75Hz, and the corresponding frequency deviation value may be 6Hz, for example. For another example, the reference operating frequency corresponding to the temperature deviation range [3°C, 4°C) may be 80Hz, and the corresponding frequency deviation value may be 4Hz, for example. For another example, the reference operating frequency corresponding to the temperature deviation range [4°C, 5°C) may be 85Hz, and the corresponding frequency deviation value may be 2Hz, for example.

[0062] Step 206, controlling the air conditioner to increase from the starting operating frequency to the intermediate operating frequency at a first frequency increase rate, and controlling the air conditioner to increase from the intermediate operating frequency to the target operating frequency at a second frequency increase rate; the first frequency increase rate is greater than the second frequency increase rate.

[0063] It should be noted that the details of step 201, step 202, and step 206 can be found in Figure 1 Step 101, step 102 and step 104 in the illustrated embodiment will not be described in detail herein.

[0064] In the startup control method of the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller in the air conditioner obtains the startup working mode, startup working parameters and target working parameters of the air conditioner; determines the quick startup condition according to the startup working mode; determines the target working frequency according to the startup working mode, startup working parameters and target working parameters when the air conditioner meets the quick startup condition; determines the shutdown time of the air conditioner; determines the intermediate working frequency according to the startup working mode, startup working parameters, target working parameters and shutdown time; controls the air conditioner to increase from the startup working frequency to the intermediate working frequency according to the first frequency increase rate, and controls the air conditioner to increase from the intermediate working frequency to the target working frequency according to the second frequency increase rate; the first frequency increase rate is greater than the second frequency increase rate, so that when the air conditioner meets the quick startup condition, the intermediate working frequency can be determined in combination with the shutdown time, etc., and then quickly increased to the intermediate working frequency in combination with the larger first frequency increase rate, and then increased to the target working frequency in combination with the smaller second frequency increase rate, so that cooling or heating can be quickly provided in hot or cold weather, thereby improving startup efficiency.
