[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0068] In a first aspect, an air conditioner 300 provided in the embodiments of the present invention includes a compressor 377, an evaporator 379, an energy storage device 373 and a control device 310. The air conditioner 300 can be a heating air conditioner or a cooling and heating air conditioner, and the air conditioner can be a wireless air conditioner or a wired air conditioner. This specification does not make any specific limitations.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the energy storage device 373 is mounted around the compressor 377 to collect the heat released by the compressor 377 during operation. The energy storage device 373 is connected to the evaporator 379 through the energy carrying circuit 375. The energy carrying circuit 375 is provided with a drive assembly 380. The compressor 377 and the drive assembly 380 are electrically connected to the control device 310 respectively. The control device 310 is used to control the start and stop of the compressor 377 and the drive assembly 380.

[0070] In the embodiments described in this specification, the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 can be, for example, a heat-storing phase change material such as inorganic PCM, organic PCM, or composite PCM, which can store heat in the phase change material in the energy storage device 373. The energy storage device 373 exists in various forms around the compressor 377. For example, the energy storage device 373 may be wrapped around the compressor 377, or the energy storage device 373 may be a box structure covering the compressor 377, but this does not constitute a limitation.

[0071] In one embodiment of this specification, the energy-carrying circuit 375 is provided with a drive assembly 380, which is disposed between the energy storage device 373 and the evaporator 379. The drive assembly 380 controls the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 to be transferred through the energy-carrying circuit 375 to the evaporator 379 to release the heat accumulated in the phase change material, and then the heat is transferred back to the energy storage device 373. At this time, the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 accumulates the heat released by the compressor 377 during operation.

[0072] Specifically, the control device 310 can control the drive component 380 to start. After the drive component 380 starts, it will drive the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 to be transferred to the evaporator 379 through the energy carrying circuit 375 to release the heat stored in the phase change material. Then, the heat is transferred back to the energy storage device 373. Through the drive component 380, the heat stored in the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 can be exchanged with the outside air through the phase change material flowing through the evaporator 379, thereby realizing heat release.

[0073] In one embodiment of this specification, the air conditioner 300 further includes a condenser 378. The condenser 378 is connected to the evaporator 379 via a refrigeration circuit. The refrigeration circuit is equipped with a solenoid valve 385, which is positioned between the condenser 378 and the evaporator 379. This allows the refrigerant to flow from the compressor 377, sequentially through the evaporator 379, the solenoid valve 385, and the condenser 378 in the refrigeration circuit, before returning to the compressor 377. The refrigerant may be, for example, R12, R134a, R407c, R410a, R290, and R3.

[0074] In one embodiment of this specification, the energy-carrying circuit and the refrigeration circuit are independent of each other in the evaporator 379. Specifically, the evaporator 379 includes two parts: one part for assembling the relevant piping for the energy-carrying circuit, and the other part for assembling the relevant piping for the refrigeration circuit. The relevant piping for the energy-carrying circuit and the relevant piping for the refrigeration circuit are isolated from each other in the evaporator 379 and exist independently, so that the evaporator can support both heat release methods simultaneously.

[0075] Specifically, when the air conditioner 300 is in cooling mode, after the control device 310 starts the compressor 377, the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 377, passes through the condenser 378, and after the control device 310 controls the solenoid valve 385 to open, the refrigerant flows through the condenser 378, then through the solenoid valve 385, and is then transferred to the evaporator 379. After the refrigerant flows through the evaporator 379 and exchanges cooling with the outside air, it returns to the compressor 377. When the air conditioner 300 is in heating mode, after the control device 310 starts the compressor 377, the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 377, passes through the evaporator 379 and exchanges heating with the outside air, and after the control device 310 controls the solenoid valve 385 to open, the refrigerant then flows through the solenoid valve 385 and is transferred to the condenser 378, and then returns to the compressor 377.

[0076] In another embodiment of this specification, the heat from the compressor main cylinder is conducted to the energy storage device 373, which stores the excess heat released by the compressor 377.

[0077] In another embodiment of this specification, if the compressor 377 is in heating mode, the energy storage device 373 stores the heat released by the compressor 377 to achieve energy saving. Since the energy storage device 373 is mounted around the compressor 377, it also reduces the noise and vibration of the compressor 377 during operation. When the temperature of the energy storage device 373 reaches a preset temperature threshold, the compressor 377 stops working, and the energy storage device 373 releases heat. This not only saves energy but also extends the lifespan of the compressor 377. Furthermore, it greatly improves the air conditioner's runtime and reduces the noise and vibration of the compressor 377 during operation. When the energy storage device 373 releases heat, the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 is carried out, flows through the drive component 380 and the evaporator 379 in the energy-carrying circuit, and then returns to the energy storage device 373. The drive component 380 causes the heat to flow with the phase change material through the evaporator 379 for heat release.

[0078] In another embodiment of this specification, the air conditioner 300 further includes a four-way valve 389, which is disposed in the refrigeration pipeline and is connected to the compressor 377, the condenser 378, and the evaporator 379 respectively.

[0079] The control device 310 is electrically connected to the four-way valve 389, and the control device 310 is used to control the opening channel of the four-way valve 389.

[0080] Specifically, when the four-way valve 389 is in its first state (when the air conditioner 300 is in cooling mode), the refrigerant flows out from the compressor 377 and sequentially through the four-way valve 389, condenser 378, solenoid valve 385, and evaporator 379, before returning to the compressor 377 through the four-way valve 389, thus achieving the cooling function. When the four-way valve 389 is in its second state (when the air conditioner 300 is in heating mode), the refrigerant flows out from the compressor 377 and sequentially through the four-way valve 389, evaporator 379, solenoid valve 385, and condenser 378, before returning to the compressor 377 through the four-way valve 389, thus achieving the heating function.

[0081] In another embodiment of this specification, when the four-way valve is in the second state, the heat of the compressor 377 is conducted to the energy storage device 373, and the energy storage device 373 stores the excess heat released by the compressor 377.

[0082] In another embodiment of this specification, the refrigeration circuit is provided with a throttling component 381, and the throttling component 381 is located between the condenser 378 and the solenoid valve 385, so as to achieve the purpose of throttling and reducing pressure through the throttling component 381.

[0083] In another embodiment of this specification, the air conditioner 300 further includes a temperature detection device 396, which is assembled in the energy storage device 373, and the temperature detection device 396 is used to detect the temperature of the energy storage device 373.

[0084] The control device 310 is electrically connected to the temperature detection device 396, and the control device 310 is configured to receive the temperature detected by the temperature detection device 396.

[0085] Specifically, the temperature detection device 396 detects the temperature T of the energy storage device 373 in real time and transmits it to the control device 310. If T < the second preset temperature T2, indicating that the temperature of the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 is too low, the energy storage device 373 stops releasing heat energy, and the compressor 377 operates at a high frequency to ensure heat supply. If the temperature range of T is the second preset temperature T2 < T < the first preset temperature T1, indicating that the temperature of the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 reaches the condition of simultaneous heat release, at this time, the compressor 377 operates at a low frequency, and the heat release of the energy storage device 373 and the heat generation of the compressor 377 operate simultaneously to maintain heat supply. If the first preset temperature T1 < T < the highest temperature T0 that the phase change material can reach, indicating that the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 reaches the condition of independent heat release, then at this time the compressor stops operating, and the heat energy released by the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 flows through the evaporator 379.

[0086] In another embodiment of this specification, the air conditioner 300 further includes a first blower 382, which is disposed opposite to the evaporator 379 and is used to drive the air flow at the evaporator 379; a second blower 383, which is disposed opposite to the condenser 378 and is used to drive the air flow at the condenser 378. Among them, the control device 310 is electrically connected to the first blower 382 and the second blower 383 respectively and is used to control the first blower 382 and the second blower 383. For example, it can control the gear and wind speed of the first blower 382, etc., and can also control the gear and wind speed of the second blower 383, etc.

[0087] At this time, when the four-way valve 389 is in the first state (at this time, the air conditioner 300 is in the cooling mode), after the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 377, it sequentially flows through the four-way valve 389, the condenser 378, the throttling component 381, the solenoid valve 385, and the evaporator 379, and then is transmitted back to the compressor 377 through the four-way valve 389, thereby achieving refrigeration. Among them, when the refrigerant flows through the condenser 378, the second blower 383 is used to make the air flow through the condenser 378 to dissipate heat from the refrigerant; and when the heat-dissipated refrigerant flows through the evaporator 379, the first blower 382 is used to make the air flow through the evaporator 379 to exchange heat with the refrigerant to play a refrigeration role.

[0088] Furthermore, when the four-way valve 389 is in its second state (at which time the air conditioner 300 is in heating mode), the refrigerant flows out from the compressor 377 and sequentially passes through the four-way valve 389, evaporator 379, solenoid valve 385, throttling component 381, and condenser 378 in the refrigeration circuit, before returning to the compressor 377 through the four-way valve 389, thus achieving the heating function. Specifically, when the refrigerant flows through the evaporator 379, the first fan 382 causes air to flow through the evaporator 379, heating the refrigerant; and when the heated refrigerant flows through the condenser 378, the second fan 383 causes air to flow through the condenser 378, exchanging heat with the refrigerant to achieve the heating effect.

[0089] Furthermore, when the four-way valve 389 is in the second state, if the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 reaches the heat release condition, it flows through the drive component 380 and the evaporator 379 of the energy carrying circuit, and then back to the energy storage device 373. The drive component 380 causes the heat to flow through the evaporator 379 with the phase change material for heat release, and the evaporator 379 dissipates heat through the action of the first fan 382.

[0090] In this embodiment of the specification, the air conditioner 300 further includes a receiving coil Lr1 for receiving electrical energy wirelessly transmitted by a wireless charging device or a wireless energy storage device; and a control device 310, electrically connected to the receiving coil Lr1, for converting the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1 into electrical energy to power the air conditioner 300. The receiving coil Lr1 can be a unidirectional receiving coil or a bidirectional receiving coil, etc.

[0091] Specifically, after receiving electrical energy wirelessly transmitted from the wireless charging device or wireless energy storage device, the receiving coil Lr1 transmits the electrical energy to the control device 310. The control device 310 converts the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1 into electrical energy that matches the air conditioner 300. The matched electrical energy can be voltage matching and / or current matching, etc., to reduce the probability of the air conditioner 300 being damaged due to low electrical energy matching when the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1 is directly used to power the air conditioner 300.

[0092] In another embodiment of this specification, the air conditioner 300 further includes a battery pack 320, and the control device 310 is electrically connected to the battery pack 320. The control device 310 is used to convert the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1 into electrical energy stored in the battery pack 320, or to convert the electrical energy released by the battery pack 320 into electrical energy to supply power to the air conditioner 300. The electrical energy conversion is performed by the control device 310 to reduce the probability of damage to the components of the battery pack 320 and the air conditioner 300 due to low electrical energy matching.

[0093] The battery pack 320 includes a battery module and a battery management system (BMS). The BMS can protect the battery module from safety risks such as overvoltage during charging, overcurrent during charging, overcurrent during discharging, low discharge voltage, and high temperature, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack 320. It can also obtain charging information such as the remaining power and how long it will take to fully charge.

[0094] In the embodiments of this specification, the drive motors of the first fan 382 and the second fan 383 can be any one of the following motors: three-phase brushless DC motor, single-phase asynchronous motor, induction motor, brushed DC motor, single-phase brushless DC motor, three-phase brushless DC motor, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor, synchronous reluctance motor, and switched reluctance motor. Similarly, the drive motor of the compressor 377 can be any one of the following motors: three-phase brushless DC motor, single-phase asynchronous motor, induction motor, brushed DC motor, single-phase brushless DC motor, three-phase brushless DC motor, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor, synchronous reluctance motor, and switched reluctance motor. The drive motor of the drive assembly 380 can be any one of the following motors: three-phase brushless DC motor, single-phase asynchronous motor, induction motor, brushed DC motor, single-phase brushless DC motor, three-phase brushless DC motor, three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor, synchronous reluctance motor, and switched reluctance motor.

[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first fan 382 is driven by the first fan motor 3821, and the second fan 383 is driven by the second fan motor 3831. Both the first fan motor 3821 and the second fan motor 3831 are electrically connected to the control device 310. By controlling the first fan motor 3821 and the second fan motor 3831 through the control device 310, the start and stop of the first fan motor 3821 and the second fan motor 3831 and the working power can be controlled, thereby realizing the control of the gear and speed of the first fan 382 and the second fan 383. Furthermore, the drive assembly 380 is driven by a drive assembly motor 3801, which is electrically connected to the control device 310. The control device 310 controls the drive assembly motor 3801, which can control the start, stop and power of the drive assembly motor 3801, thereby controlling the drive assembly 380 so that the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 is drawn out, flows through the evaporator 379 and is then returned to the energy storage device 373.

[0096] In the embodiments described in this specification, the first fan 382 and the second fan 383 can both be counter-rotating fans, etc.

[0097] like Figure 2As shown, the control device 310 is also electrically connected to the compressor 377, display device 318, solenoid valve 385, temperature detection device 396, receiving coil Lr1, and battery pack 320, respectively, thereby controlling the compressor 377, solenoid valve 385, temperature detection device 396, and battery pack 320. The control device 310 can also send acquired charging and temperature information to the display device 318 for display, and can respond to user operation requests on the display device 318, controlling the air conditioner 300 according to the operation requests. For example, if the user operation request is for heating mode and cooling to 26°C, the control device 310 responds to the user operation request, controlling the air conditioner 300 to heat and setting the maximum heating temperature to 26°C. Furthermore, the control device 310 is electrically connected to the receiving coil Lr1 and battery pack 320, respectively, to convert the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1 into electrical energy stored in the battery pack 320, or to convert the electrical energy released by the battery pack 320 into electrical energy to supply power to the air conditioner 300. Furthermore, the control device 310 is electrically connected to the four-way valve 389 and can control the conduction pipe in the four-way valve 389 to control the current state of the four-way valve 389 to be either the first state or the second state.

[0098] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control device 310 includes an air conditioning controller 312 and an energy release control switch 319 electrically connected to the air conditioning controller 312. The energy release control switch 319 is used to control the drive assembly 380 to operate under the drive of the air conditioning controller 312, so as to deliver the energy stored in the energy storage device 373 to the evaporator 379 through the energy carrying circuit and the drive assembly 380. The energy release control switch 319 is a circuit containing a switching element, with one end electrically connected to the drive assembly 380 and the other end electrically connected to the air conditioning controller 312.

[0099] Specifically, the air conditioner controller 312 also includes an energy release control switch 319, with its input terminal electrically connected to the air conditioner controller 312 and its output terminal electrically connected to the energy release control switch 319. This energy release control switch 319 is used to drive the drive assembly 380 via the air conditioner controller 312 and the energy release control switch 319. The energy release control switch 319 amplifies the control signal sent by the air conditioner controller 312, and outputs the amplified control information to itself.

[0100] In one embodiment of this specification, the four-way valve 389 is electrically connected to the air conditioning controller 312 and is used to control the conduction pipe in the four-way valve 389 to control the current state of the four-way valve 389 to a first state or a second state.

[0101] In one embodiment of this specification, the control device 310 may further include a first inverter module 314 for electrically connecting the compressor 377 and electrically connecting to the air conditioner controller 312. The first inverter module 314 is used to control the operation of the compressor 377 under the drive of the air conditioner controller 312.

[0102] Specifically, the air conditioner controller 312 also includes a compressor drive circuit 3771, with its input terminal electrically connected to the air conditioner controller 312 and its output terminal electrically connected to the first inverter module 314, for driving the compressor 377 through the air conditioner controller 312 and the first inverter module 314. The compressor drive circuit 3771 amplifies the control signals sent by the air conditioner controller 312 to output the amplified control information to the first inverter module 314.

[0103] In one embodiment of this specification, if the air conditioner 300 further includes a first fan 382 and a second fan 383, then the control device 310 further includes a second inverter module 315 for electrically connecting the first fan 382 and electrically connecting it to the air conditioner controller 312. The second inverter module 315 controls the operation of the first fan 382 based on the drive of the air conditioner controller 312, so that the first fan 382 flows air through the evaporator 379 to achieve heat exchange. Additionally, a third inverter module 384 for electrically connecting the second fan 383 is electrically connected to the air conditioner controller 312. The third inverter module 384 controls the operation of the second fan 383 based on the drive of the air conditioner controller 312, so that the second fan 383 flows air through the condenser 378 to achieve heat exchange.

[0104] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the first inverter module 314 can use an IPM (Intelligent Power Module) 1 power device, the second inverter module 315 can use an IPM 2 power device, and the third inverter module 384 can use an IMP 3 power device. Alternatively, other types of transistors can be used instead to control whether the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, and the second fan motor 3831 are running, but not to control the specific operating parameters of the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, and the second fan motor 3831.

[0105] In this embodiment of the specification, the air conditioner also includes a drive component switching circuit 3803, with its input terminal electrically connected to the air conditioner controller 312 and its output terminal electrically connected to the drive component motor 3801, for controlling the start and stop of the drive component motor 3801 under the drive of the air conditioner controller 312.

[0106] In the embodiments described in this specification, the control device 310 further includes a solenoid valve switching circuit 3851, which is electrically connected to the air conditioner controller 312 and is used to control the on / off state of the solenoid valve 385 under the drive of the air conditioner controller 312.

[0107] Specifically, the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851 is a circuit that includes a switching element. When the switching element of the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851 is closed, it is energized, thereby controlling the conduction. This allows the refrigerant output from the condenser 378 to enter the evaporator 379 through the throttling component 381 and the solenoid valve 385, or allows the refrigerant output from the evaporator 379 to enter the condenser 378 through the solenoid valve 385 and the throttling component 381. When the switching element of the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851 is open, the solenoid valve 385 is not energized, thereby controlling the solenoid valve 385 to open, so that the refrigerant output from the condenser 378 or the evaporator 379 cannot pass through the solenoid valve 385.

[0108] In the embodiments described in this specification, see Figure 3 The control device 310 also includes a wireless power receiving module 311 for electrically connecting the receiving coil Lr1 and electrically connecting to the air conditioner controller 312. The wireless power receiving module 311 is used to convert and process the wirelessly transmitted electrical energy under the drive of the air conditioner controller 312.

[0109] Specifically, the input terminal of the wireless power receiving module 311 is electrically connected to the receiving coil Lr1, and the output terminal of the wireless power receiving module 311 is electrically connected to the compressor 377 through the first inverter module 314. The first inverter module 314 is also electrically connected to the air conditioning controller 312. Thus, under the drive of the air conditioning controller 312 and the power supply of the wireless power receiving module 311, the first inverter module 314 controls the compressor 377 to work, so that the refrigerant of the compressor 377 is output to the condenser 378 or the evaporator 379. Furthermore, the output terminal of the wireless power receiving module 311 is electrically connected to the first fan motor 3821 through the second inverter module 315. The second inverter module 315 is also electrically connected to the air conditioning controller 312. Thus, under the drive of the air conditioning controller 312 and the power supply of the wireless power receiving module 311, the second inverter module 315 controls the first fan motor 3821 to work, thereby driving the first fan 382 to work. Furthermore, the output terminal of the wireless power receiving module 311 is electrically connected to the second fan motor 3831 through the third inverter module 384. The third inverter module 384 is also electrically connected to the air conditioning controller 312. Thus, under the drive of the air conditioning controller 312 and the power supply of the wireless power receiving module 311, the third inverter module 384 controls the second fan motor 3831 to work, thereby driving the second fan 383 to work.

[0110] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4The wireless power receiving module 311 includes a bridge rectifier circuit 3111 and a power receiving voltage regulating circuit 3112. The AC input terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 is electrically connected to the receiving coil Lr1. The AC input terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 is electrically connected to the receiving coil Lr1 to rectify the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1. The input terminal of the power receiving voltage regulating circuit 3112 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111, and the output terminal of the power receiving voltage regulating circuit 3112 is electrically connected to the input terminals of the first inverter module 314 and the second inverter module 315. The power receiving voltage regulating circuit 3112 is used to step down the electrical energy output by the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 and transmit power to the input terminals of the first inverter module 314 and the second inverter module 315.

[0111] like Figure 4 As shown, the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 is used to convert the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1 from AC to DC to DC bus voltage +VDC1; after the DC bus voltage +VDC1 is further converted (boosted or bucked) by the voltage regulating circuit 3112, it becomes the DC bus voltage +VDC2 required by the first inverter module 314, the second inverter module 315 and the third inverter module 384.

Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 can be any type of transistor, such as an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), a MOSFET, or a bipolar transistor.

[0114] To drive the bridge rectifier circuit 3111, the air conditioner controller 312 includes: a control chip 3121; and a rectifier drive circuit 3122. The input terminal of the rectifier drive circuit 3122 is electrically connected to the control chip 3121, and the output terminal of the rectifier drive circuit 3122 is electrically connected to the bridge rectifier circuit 3111. Specifically, the gate control terminal of each power device in the bridge rectifier of the rectifier drive circuit 3122 is electrically connected to control the on / off state of Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.

[0115] Specifically, the power receiving voltage regulation circuit 3112 can be a separate boost circuit, a separate buck circuit, or both buck and boost circuits, or a buck-boost multiplexed circuit. In practical applications, the power receiving voltage regulation circuit 3112 may not be provided; that is, the wireless power receiving module 311 may only have a bridge rectifier circuit 3111, and the output of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 may be directly electrically connected to the first inverter module 314 and the second inverter module 315.

[0116] For example, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the voltage regulating circuit 3112 can be a step-up / step-down multiplexing circuit composed of the fifth power device Q5, the first inductor L1, the sixth power device Q6, the seventh power device Q7, the eighth power device Q8, and the second filter capacitor E2.

[0118] In some implementations, the air conditioner 300 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes: an air conditioner communication module 316, which is electrically connected to an air conditioner controller 312. The air conditioner communication module 316 is used to communicate with an external power supply device that wirelessly supplies power to the air conditioner 300, so as to control the external power supply device that wirelessly supplies power to the air conditioner 300 to be in standby or energy transmission state.

[0119] In some implementations, refer to Figure 5As shown, the air conditioner 300 provided in this embodiment of the invention also includes a display device 318. The control device 310 further includes an auxiliary power supply 317, which is electrically connected to the output terminal of the wireless power receiving module 311, for regulating the DC power output by the wireless power receiving module 311 and providing the regulated DC power to the display device 318 of the air conditioner 300.

[0120] Specifically, it can be electrically connected to the output terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 or the output terminal of the voltage regulating circuit 3112 to step down the DC bus voltage +VDC1 or DC bus voltage +VDC2 to obtain the voltage required by the display device 318 and power the display device 318.

[0121] In the embodiments described in this specification, see Figure 5 The air conditioner controller 312 also includes a drive component drive circuit 3802. The output terminal of the drive component drive circuit 3802 is electrically connected to the power release control switch 319, and the input terminal of the drive component drive circuit 3802 is electrically connected to the control chip 3121. The drive component drive circuit 3802 is used to amplify the control signal sent by the air conditioner controller 312.

[0122] In the embodiments described in this specification, see Figure 5 The air conditioning controller 312 also includes a first fan drive circuit 3822, the output of which is electrically connected to the control terminal of the second inverter module 315, and the input of which is electrically connected to the control chip 3121; and a second fan drive circuit 3832, the output of which is electrically connected to the control terminal of the third inverter module 384, and the input of which is electrically connected to the control chip 3121. The first and second fan drive circuits 3822 amplify the control signals sent by the air conditioning controller 312.

[0123] In this embodiment of the specification, the air conditioner controller 312 further includes a first bus voltage detection circuit 3126. The input terminal of the first bus voltage detection circuit 3126 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111, and the output terminal of the first bus voltage detection circuit 3126 is electrically connected to the control chip 3121. The first bus voltage detection circuit 3126 can be set at both ends of E1 to detect the voltage at both ends of E1 in real time and transmit the detected voltage at both ends of E1 to the control chip 3121. It also includes a second bus voltage detection circuit 3127. The second bus voltage detection circuit 3127... The input terminal is electrically connected to the output terminal of the voltage regulating circuit 3112, and the output terminal of the second bus voltage detection circuit 3127 is electrically connected to the control chip 3121. The second bus voltage detection circuit 3127 can be set at both ends of E2 to detect the voltage at both ends of E1 in real time and transmit the detected voltage at both ends of E2 to the control chip 3121. The circuit also includes a bus current detection circuit 312B, the input terminal of which is electrically connected to the voltage regulating circuit 3112, and the output terminal of which is electrically connected to the control chip 3121.

[0124] Accordingly, in order for the bus current detection circuit 312B to operate normally, a resistor R1 may also be included. The resistor R1 is set between the eighth power device Q8 and the second filter capacitor E2. The input terminal of the bus current detection circuit 312B is electrically connected to the resistor R1, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the control chip 3121. It is used to acquire the current through the resistor R1 in real time and transmit it to the control chip 3121. When the current through the resistor R1 is detected to exceed the set current, the current through the resistor R1 can be reduced by controlling the switching of the power devices Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8 and the first inductor L1, so that the reduced current is not greater than the set current, thereby protecting the voltage regulation circuit 3112 and reducing the probability of the voltage regulation circuit 3112 being damaged due to excessive current.

[0125] In some implementations, to diversify the use cases of portable air conditioners and eliminate power limitations, they can be used outdoors or in locations without a power grid connection. (See reference...) Figure 5As shown, the air conditioner 300 in this embodiment of the invention may further include a battery pack 320, and the control device 310 may also include a charge-discharge voltage regulation circuit 313. One end of the charge-discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 is electrically connected to the output end of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 and the input end of the power receiving voltage regulation circuit 3112, and the other end of the charge-discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 is electrically connected to the battery pack 320. When the battery pack 320 needs to supply power to the load of the air conditioner 300, the electrical energy released by the battery pack 320 undergoes DC-DC conversion voltage regulation processing through the charge-discharge voltage regulation circuit 313, and then undergoes DC-DC conversion voltage regulation processing through the power receiving voltage regulation circuit 3112, and the regulated electrical energy is supplied to at least one load of the air conditioner 300. When the battery pack 320 needs to be charged, the electrical energy received by the receiving coil Lr1 is rectified by the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 for AC-DC conversion, and then regulated by the charge-discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 for DC-DC conversion before being used to charge the battery pack 320.

[0126] See Figure 5 The charge / discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 is used to convert the electrical energy output by the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 and store the converted electrical energy in the battery pack 320, or to convert the electrical energy released by the battery pack 320 and output it to the power receiving voltage regulation circuit 3112; the power receiving voltage regulation circuit 3112 boosts the electrical energy output by the charge / discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 and supplies power to the input terminal of the first inverter module 314, the second inverter module 315 and the third inverter module 384.

[0127] Specifically, the charge / discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 can be a separate boost circuit, a separate buck circuit, or both buck and boost circuits, or a buck-boost multiplexed circuit. In practical applications, the charge / discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 may not be provided; that is, the wireless power receiving module 311 may only have a bridge rectifier circuit 3111, and the output of the bridge rectifier circuit 3111 may be directly electrically connected to the first inverter module 314, the second inverter module 315, and the third inverter module 384.

[0128] For example, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the charge / discharge voltage regulation circuit 313 can be composed of the ninth power device Q9, the second inductor L2, the tenth power device Q10 and the third filter capacitor E3. The negative terminal of the third filter capacitor E3 is grounded, and the voltage boosting or bucking is achieved through the switching on and off of the ninth power device Q9 and the tenth power device Q10.

[0129] Correspondingly, in order to drive the charging and discharging voltage regulation circuit 313, the air conditioner controller 312 also includes a charging and discharging drive circuit 312A. The input terminal of the charging and discharging drive circuit 312A is electrically connected to the control chip 3121, and the output terminal of the charging and discharging drive circuit 312A is electrically connected to the control terminal of each power device Q9 and Q10 in the power receiving voltage regulation circuit 3112, so as to control the on and off of the power devices Q9, Q10 and the second inductor L2.

[0130] Furthermore, the air conditioner controller 312 also includes a charge / discharge current detection circuit 3128. The input terminal of the charge / discharge current detection circuit 3128 is electrically connected to the charge / discharge voltage regulation circuit 313, and the output terminal of the charge / discharge current detection circuit 3128 is electrically connected to the control chip 3121. The charge / discharge current detection circuit 3128 can be set at both ends of E3 to detect the voltage at both ends of E3 in real time and transmit the detected voltage at both ends of E3 to the control chip 3121. A battery voltage detection circuit 3129 is also included. The input terminal of the battery voltage detection circuit 3129 is electrically connected to the charge / discharge voltage regulation circuit 313, and the output terminal of the battery voltage detection circuit 3129 is electrically connected to the control chip 3121.

[0131] Accordingly, in order for the battery voltage detection circuit 3129 to operate normally, a resistor R2 may also be included. The resistor R2 is set between the tenth power device Q10 and the third filter capacitor E3. The input terminal of the battery voltage detection circuit 3129 is electrically connected to the resistor R2, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the control chip 3121. It is used to acquire the current through the resistor R2 in real time and transmit it to the control chip 3121. When the current through the resistor R2 is detected to exceed the set current, the current through the resistor R2 can be reduced by controlling the switching of the power devices Q9, Q10 and the second inductor L2, so that the reduced current is not greater than the set current, thereby protecting the charge and discharge current detection circuit 3128 and reducing the probability of the charge and discharge current detection circuit 3128 being damaged due to excessive current.

[0132] In the embodiments described in this specification, the current setting can be set manually or by the air conditioner 300 itself, or it can be set according to actual needs.

[0133] In another embodiment, the control device 310 further includes an adapter voltage regulating circuit 388, one end of which is electrically connected to the output terminal of the powered voltage regulating circuit 3112, and the other end is connected to the discharge control switch 319, the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851, the first inverter module 314, the second inverter module 315, and the third inverter module 384, respectively; when power needs to be supplied to the drive assembly 380, the solenoid valve 385, the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, and the second fan motor 3831. During power supply, the voltage is regulated by DC-DC conversion through the adapter voltage regulating circuit 388, and the regulated electrical energy is supplied to the drive component 380, solenoid valve 385, compressor 377, first fan motor 3821 and second fan motor 3831, so that the voltage regulated by the adapter voltage regulating circuit 388 matches the voltage required by each component in the drive component 380, solenoid valve 385, compressor 377, first fan motor 3821 and second fan motor 3831.

[0134] Specifically, the adapter voltage regulator circuit 388 can be a standalone boost circuit, a standalone buck circuit, or both buck and boost circuits, or a buck-boost multiplexed circuit. In practical applications, the adapter voltage regulator circuit 388 may not be required.

[0135] For example, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the adapter voltage regulation circuit 388 can be a voltage regulation circuit composed of the eleventh power device 11, the third inductor L3 and the fourth filter capacitor E4. The negative terminal of the fourth filter capacitor E4 is grounded, and the eleventh power device 11 is switched on and off to achieve voltage reduction.

[0136] In some implementations, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 300 provided in this embodiment of the invention also includes a display device 318, and the control device 310 further includes an auxiliary power supply 317, which is electrically connected to the output terminal of the wireless power receiving module 311. The auxiliary power supply 317 is used to regulate the DC power output by the wireless power receiving module 311 and provide the regulated DC power to the display device 318 of the air conditioner 300.

[0137] Among them, the display device 318 is electrically connected to the control device 310, which can display the charging information of the battery pack 320, as well as the fan operation information such as the gear and fan speed of the first fan 382 and the second fan 383. It can also display temperature information such as the cooling temperature and indoor temperature of the air conditioner 300, and also display the operation information of the air conditioner 300 such as cooling, ventilation and dehumidification.

[0138] In the embodiments described in this specification, the display device 318 may be a display screen such as an LED or an LCD.

[0139] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 300 provided in this invention includes an air conditioner communication module 316, electrically connected to an air conditioner controller 312. The air conditioner communication module 316 communicates with an external power supply device that wirelessly supplies power to the air conditioner 300, controlling the external power supply device to be in standby or power transmission mode. The air conditioner communication module 316 may be a wireless communication module such as Bluetooth, signal carrier, or infrared transmitting and receiving module.

[0140] See Figure 5 This instruction manual provides that the air conditioner 300 has multiple operating modes. The first operating mode of the air conditioner 300 is the cooling mode. In this mode, the compressor 377 operates normally and the four-way valve 389 is in the first state. Specifically, after the receiving coil Lr1 receives the electromagnetic energy transmitted from the wireless charger, it is regulated by the wireless power receiving module 311 and converted into the required voltage, such as +VDC2, to power the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, the second fan motor 3831, and the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851. If the converted required voltage is higher than that of the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, the second fan motor 3831, and the solenoid valve switching circuit... If the operating voltage of 3851 is, for example, +VFM, it needs to be stepped down by the adapter voltage regulating circuit 388 to supply power to the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, the second fan motor 3831, and the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851. Since the first fan motor 3821 is connected to the first fan 382, ​​the second fan motor 3831 is connected to the second fan 383, and the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851 is connected to the solenoid valve 385, the first fan 382, ​​the second fan 383, and the compressor 377 can work when powered, and the solenoid valve 385 can be turned on when powered. Thus, when the compressor 377 is operating normally, the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 377 and, due to the conduction of the solenoid valve 385, flows sequentially through the four-way valve 389, condenser 378, throttling component 381, solenoid valve 385, and evaporator 379 in the refrigeration circuit, before returning to the compressor 377. While the refrigerant flows through the condenser 378, the second fan 383 causes air to flow through the condenser 378, dissipating heat and achieving a cooling effect. After heat exchange, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator 379, where the first fan 382 causes air to flow through the evaporator 379, further dissipating heat.

[0141] Furthermore, in the first operating mode, specifically the heating mode, the compressor 377 operates normally and the four-way valve 389 is in the second state. This allows the refrigerant to flow out of the compressor 377, but since the solenoid valve 385 is open and not powered, it remains disconnected. Consequently, the refrigerant flows sequentially through the four-way valve 389, evaporator 379, solenoid valve 385, throttling device 381, and condenser 378 in the refrigeration circuit, before returning to the compressor 377 via the four-way valve 389. While the refrigerant flows through the evaporator 379, the first fan 382 draws air through the evaporator 379 to heat the refrigerant. And after heating, the refrigerant flows through the condenser 378, the second fan 383 draws air through the condenser 378 to exchange heat with the refrigerant, thus achieving the heating function.

[0142] The second operating mode is specifically a heat storage mode during the heating process. This involves the receiving coil Lr1 receiving electromagnetic energy from the wireless charger, which is then regulated by the wireless power receiving module 311 and converted into the required voltage (e.g., +VDC2) to power the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, the second fan motor 3831, the temperature detection device 396, and the solenoid valve switching circuit 3851. If the converted required voltage is higher than the operating voltage of the compressor 377, the first fan motor 3821, the second fan motor 3831, and the switch (e.g., +VFM), it needs to be stepped down by the adapter voltage regulating circuit 388 before supplying power to these components. At this time, the compressor 377 operates normally, and the four-way valve 389 is in the first state. The phase change material of the energy storage device 373 collects and stores the heat released by the compressor 377, enabling simultaneous heating and heat storage.

[0143] Furthermore, the temperature detection device 396 detects the temperature T of the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 and transmits it to the control device 310. If T < the second preset temperature T2, heat storage continues until the temperature T is higher than T2.

[0144] The third operating mode is specifically an operating mode of releasing heat during heating, which specifically includes: after the receiving coil Lr1 receives the electromagnetic energy transmitted by the wireless charger, it is regulated by the wireless power receiving module 311 and then converted into a required voltage, such as +VDC2, to supply power to the compressor 377, the first blower motor 3821, the second blower motor 3831, the temperature detection device 396, and the solenoid valve switch circuit 3851. If the converted required voltage is higher than the operating voltages of the compressor 377, the first blower motor 3821, the second blower motor 3831, and the switch, such as +VFM, it still needs to be stepped down by the adaptation voltage regulation circuit 388 before supplying power to the compressor 377, the first blower motor 3821, the second blower motor 3831, and the solenoid valve switch circuit 3851. The compressor 377 operates normally, the four-way valve 389 is in the second state, and the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 reaches the condition of simultaneous heat release: the second preset temperature T2 < T < the first preset temperature T1. At this time, the compressor 377 operates at a low frequency, and the heat release of the energy storage device 373 and the heating of the compressor 377 operate simultaneously to maintain heat supply. During the simultaneous operation, on the one hand, the compressor 377 operates at a low frequency for energy conservation, and the four-way valve 389 is in the second state. Then, after the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 377, since the solenoid valve 385 is conducting and not powered off, the refrigerant sequentially flows through the four-way valve 389, the evaporator 379, the solenoid valve 385, the throttling component 381, and the condenser 378 of the refrigeration circuit, and then returns to the compressor 377 through the four-way valve 389. On the other hand, after the driving component 380 is started, it drives the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 to release the heat stored in the phase change material at the evaporator 379 through the energy-carrying circuit 375, and then returns to the energy storage device 373. The driving component 380 drives the heat stored in the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 to exchange heat with the external air through the phase change material flowing through the evaporator 379, realizing heat release.

[0145] The fourth operating mode is specifically the independent heat release operating mode, which specifically includes: after the receiving coil Lr1 receives the electromagnetic energy transmitted by the wireless charger, it is regulated by the wireless power receiving module 311 and then converted into a required voltage, such as +VDC2, to supply power to the driving component 380 and the first blower motor 3821. If the converted required voltage is higher than the operating voltage of the driving component 380 and the first blower motor 3821, such as +VFM, it still needs to be stepped down by the adaptive voltage regulation circuit 388 before supplying power to the driving component 380 and the first blower motor 3821. At this time, the temperature of the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 reaches the condition of simultaneous heat release: the first preset temperature T1 < T < the highest temperature T0 that the phase change material can reach. The compressor 377 stops heating, and the energy storage device 373 releases heat independently to achieve the purpose of energy saving and extended battery life. Specifically, after the driving component 380 is started, it drives the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 to be transmitted to the evaporator 379 through the energy-carrying circuit 375 to release the heat stored in the phase change material, and then it is transmitted back to the energy storage device 373. The heat stored in the phase change material in the energy storage device 373 is exchanged with the external air through the phase change material flowing through the evaporator 379 by driving the driving component 380 to achieve heat release. <00,00325><00,00326>In one or more technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, in the air conditioner, the energy storage device is assembled around the compressor to collect and store the heat released during the operation of the compressor, which can avoid the waste of the heat energy of the compressor and achieve the effect of energy conservation and environmental protection. In addition, when needed, the energy storage device can release this heat to meet the heating demand, which can not only greatly improve the endurance of the air conditioner, but also reduce the noise and vibration during the operation of the compressor. <00,00327><00,00328>Furthermore, since the receiving coil Lr1 is provided in the air conditioner 300, it can receive the electromagnetic energy transmitted by the wireless charger and then convert it into electrical energy for the operation of the air conditioner 300. At this time, the air conditioner 300 can work without being connected to the power grid and can be used in scenarios where it is inconvenient to connect to the mains electricity outdoors, etc., making the application scenario of the air conditioner 300 wider and the user experience better. <00,00329><00,00330>Moreover, since the battery pack 320 is provided in the air conditioner 300, it can supply power to the air conditioner 300 through the battery pack 320 to enable the normal operation of the air conditioner 300 without being connected to the power grid either. At this time, it is also possible not to carry a charger. The air conditioner 300 can work through the battery pack 320 carried by itself, and can be further used in scenarios where it is inconvenient to connect to the mains electricity outdoors, etc., making the application scenario of the air conditioner 300 wider and further improving the user experience. <00,00331><00,00332>The functions described herein can be implemented in hardware, software executed by a processor, firmware, or any combination thereof.
