[0027] In order for those skilled 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 described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and the foregoing drawings are used to distinguish between similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a particular sequential or chronological order. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged, where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be carried out in other than the order shown or described herein. The implementations described in the following example embodiments are not meant to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0029] In the related art, after the air conditioner is powered on, it is kept running at a fixed start-up rate and a fixed start-up gain for fast start-up. However, keeping fast start-up at the start-up rate and the start-up gain does not consider whether the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state and whether the air conditioner has a frequency increase demand. If fast start-up is performed in a non-static state and in the presence of a frequency increase demand, the performance of the air conditioner will be affected.

[0030] Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method for fast start-up of an air conditioner. In response to a determination that fast start-up is to be performed, an outdoor environment temperature, an outdoor coil temperature, and a preset fast start-up frequency are determined. In response to an absolute value of a difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature being less than a temperature difference threshold value, and the preset fast start-up frequency being greater than a threshold frequency, it is determined that fast start-up is to be performed, and a target fast start-up rate and a target start-up gain for performing fast start-up are determined. The temperature difference threshold value is a maximum value of an absolute value of a difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state, and the threshold frequency is a minimum frequency for fast start-up of the air conditioner. Thus, fast start-up can be performed when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state and meets a frequency increase demand, providing users with a fast cooling and heating experience, and improving the performance of the air conditioner to ensure reliability.

[0031] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature are determined in the case of determining the judgment of performing the quick start.

[0037] The determination of the judgment of performing the quick start can be switching from power-off to power-on of the air conditioner, or can also be that the air conditioner meets a preset condition after switching from power-off to power-on.

[0038] Exemplarily, the preset condition can be detecting that a user triggers the quick start function, or can also be reaching a preset time length set by the user, or can also be reaching a preset time length set by a system program, and the like.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the outdoor environment temperature can be determined as the temperature of an outdoor location where the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is placed.

[0040] It should be noted that the outdoor temperature can be the temperature of the outdoor corresponding to the indoor where the air conditioner needs to adjust the temperature.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more temperature sensors can be used to determine the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature.

[0042] The temperature sensor for measuring the outdoor environment temperature can be arranged on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, or can also be arranged at other places outside the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, and the temperature sensor for measuring the outdoor coil temperature can be arranged on the coil of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, or can also be arranged at other places.

[0043] It should be noted that in the case of using multiple temperature sensors to measure the outdoor environment temperature, the average value or the maximum value or the minimum value of the measurement of the multiple temperature sensors can be taken as the outdoor environment temperature. In the case of using multiple temperature sensors to measure the outdoor coil temperature, the average value or the maximum value or the minimum value of the measurement of the multiple temperature sensors can be taken as the outdoor coil temperature.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a preset quick start frequency is determined, wherein the preset quick start frequency can be a fixed start rate maintained after the air conditioner is powered on in the related art.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature are determined, the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature can be further determined, and it is determined whether the absolute value is less than the temperature difference threshold value, and it can also be determined whether the preset quick start frequency is greater than the threshold frequency.

[0048] The temperature difference threshold value is a maximum value of the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case that the absolute value of the difference is less than the temperature difference threshold value, and the preset quick start frequency is greater than the threshold frequency, it is determined to execute the quick start. It can be ensured that the quick start is executed in the case that the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state and meets the frequency increase requirement, to provide the user with the experience of quick cooling and heating, and to improve the performance of the air conditioner and ensure the reliability.

[0050] In some embodiments, the temperature difference threshold value can be 4°C.

[0051] In some embodiments, the threshold frequency can be 60HZ.

[0052] Of course, the temperature difference threshold value and / or the threshold frequency can also be other values, which can be set arbitrarily according to the model and configuration of the air conditioner, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case that it is determined to execute the quick start, the target quick start rate and the target start gain of the quick start can be further determined.

[0054] Exemplarily, the target quick start rate and / or the target start gain of the quick start can be determined according to the outdoor environment temperature and / or the outdoor coil temperature when it is determined to execute the quick start.

[0055] In some possible implementation manners, different rates and / or starting gains of the fast starting can be set corresponding to different outdoor environment temperatures, so that the target fast starting rate and / or the target starting gain of the fast starting can be determined according to the outdoor environment temperature when it is determined to perform the fast starting.

[0056] It can be understood that the different rates and / or starting gains of the fast starting corresponding to different outdoor environment temperatures can be set as a calculation relationship, or can also be set as a corresponding relationship, or can also be set as an interval comparison relationship, and the like.

[0057] In some possible implementation manners, different rates and / or starting gains of the fast starting can be set corresponding to different outdoor coil temperatures, so that the target fast starting rate and / or the target starting gain of the fast starting can be determined according to the outdoor coil temperature when it is determined to perform the fast starting.

[0058] It can be understood that the different rates and / or starting gains of the fast starting corresponding to different outdoor coil temperatures can be set as a calculation relationship, or can also be set as a corresponding relationship, or can also be set as an interval comparison relationship, and the like.

[0059] In some possible implementation manners, different rates and / or starting gains of the fast starting can be set corresponding to different absolute values of differences between outdoor environment temperatures and outdoor coil temperatures, so that the target fast starting rate and / or the target starting gain of the fast starting can be determined according to the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature when it is determined to perform the fast starting.

[0060] It can be understood that the different rates and / or starting gains of the fast starting corresponding to different absolute values of differences between outdoor environment temperatures and outdoor coil temperatures can be set as a calculation relationship, or can also be set as a corresponding relationship, or can also be set as an interval comparison relationship, and the like.

[0061] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to the determination that the fast starting is to be performed, the outdoor environment temperature, the outdoor coil temperature and the preset fast starting frequency are determined; in response to the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature being less than a temperature difference threshold value, and the preset fast starting frequency being greater than a threshold frequency, it is determined that the fast starting is to be performed, and the target fast starting rate and the target starting gain of the fast starting are determined; wherein the temperature difference threshold value is a maximum value of the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state, and the threshold frequency is a minimum frequency of the fast starting of the air conditioner. Therefore, the fast starting can be performed when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state and the frequency increasing demand is met, the experience of fast cooling and heating is provided for the user, and the performance of the air conditioner is improved, and the reliability is ensured.

[0062] Figure 2 Another flowchart of a control method for quick start of an air conditioner is provided in embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the method includes but is not limited to the following steps: Figure 2

[0063] S10: In response to the determination of performing quick start, determining the outdoor environment temperature, the outdoor coil temperature and the preset quick start frequency.

[0064] S20: In response to the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature being less than a temperature difference threshold value, and the preset quick start frequency being greater than a threshold frequency, determining to perform quick start, and determining the target quick start rate and the target start gain for performing quick start; wherein the temperature difference threshold value is the maximum value of the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state, and the threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of the quick start of the air conditioner.

[0065] The related descriptions of S10 and S20 can be referred to the related descriptions in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] S30: In response to the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature being greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold value, determining not to perform quick start; and / or, in response to the preset quick start frequency being less than or equal to the threshold frequency, determining not to perform quick start.

[0067] In embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature, the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature can be calculated, and the absolute value is compared with the temperature difference threshold value. In the case where the absolute value is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold value, it is determined not to perform quick start.

[0068] The temperature difference threshold value is the maximum value of the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state.

[0069] It can be understood that in the case where the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold value, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is in a non-static state at this time, and performing quick start will affect the performance of the air conditioner.

[0070] In embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the preset quick start frequency, the size of the preset quick start frequency and the threshold frequency can be calculated, and in the case where the preset quick start frequency is less than or equal to the threshold frequency, it is determined not to perform quick start.

[0071] ​In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the outdoor environment temperature, the outdoor coil temperature and the preset quick start frequency are obtained, the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature can be calculated, the absolute value of the difference and the temperature difference threshold value are compared, and the preset quick start frequency and the threshold frequency are compared. In the case where the absolute value of the difference is greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold value, and the preset quick start frequency is less than or equal to the threshold frequency, it is determined that the quick start is not performed.

[0072] In some embodiments, the temperature difference threshold value can be 4℃.

[0073] In some embodiments, the threshold frequency can be 60HZ.

[0074] Of course, the temperature difference threshold value and / or the threshold frequency can also be other values, which can be set arbitrarily according to the model and configuration of the air conditioner, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0075] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to the determination that the quick start is performed, the outdoor environment temperature, the outdoor coil temperature and the preset quick start frequency are determined; in response to the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature being less than the temperature difference threshold value, and the preset quick start frequency being greater than the threshold frequency, it is determined that the quick start is performed, and the target quick start rate and the target start gain of the quick start are determined; wherein the temperature difference threshold value is the maximum value of the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state, and the threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of the quick start of the air conditioner; in response to the absolute value of the difference between the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature being greater than or equal to the temperature difference threshold value, it is determined that the quick start is not performed; and / or, in response to the preset quick start frequency being less than or equal to the threshold frequency, it is determined that the quick start is not performed. Thus, the quick start can be performed when the outdoor unit system of the air conditioner is in a static state and meets the frequency increase requirement, providing the user with a quick cooling and heating experience, and improving the performance of the air conditioner and ensuring reliability.

[0076] In some embodiments, S20: determining the target quick start rate of the quick start performed, comprises:

[0077] In response to the outdoor environment temperature being less than the temperature threshold value, the target quick start rate is determined to be the current start frequency plus the first compensation frequency, and the target start gain is determined to be the current start gain plus the first compensation gain.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the outdoor environment temperature is less than the temperature threshold value, the target quick start rate is determined to be the current start frequency plus the first compensation frequency, and the target start gain is determined to be the current start gain plus the first compensation gain.

[0079] It can be understood that after the air conditioner is powered on and started, the current starting frequency and the current starting gain are used for starting operation. In the related art, when it is determined to perform fast starting, a preset fast starting frequency and a preset starting gain are used for operation to achieve fast starting and fast refrigeration / heating effect.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when it is determined to perform fast starting, the target fast starting rate is determined as the current starting frequency plus the first compensation frequency, and the target starting gain is determined as the current starting gain plus the first compensation gain.

[0081] In some embodiments, the temperature threshold can be 43℃.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first compensation frequency can be 4HZ / S.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first compensation gain can be 30.

[0084] Of course, the temperature threshold and / or the first compensation frequency and / or the first compensation gain can also be other values, which can be set arbitrarily according to the model and configuration of the air conditioner, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0085] In some embodiments, the control method for fast starting of the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure further comprises:

[0086] In response to the outdoor environment temperature being greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the target fast starting rate is determined as the current starting frequency plus the second compensation frequency, and the target starting gain is determined as the current starting gain plus the second compensation gain.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the outdoor environment temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the target fast starting rate can be determined as the current starting frequency plus the second compensation frequency, and the target starting gain can be determined as the current starting gain plus the second compensation gain.

[0088] It can be understood that after the air conditioner is powered on and started, the current starting frequency and the current starting gain are used for starting operation. In the related art, when it is determined to perform fast starting, a preset fast starting frequency and a preset starting gain are used for operation to achieve fast starting and fast refrigeration / heating effect.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when it is determined to perform fast starting, the target fast starting rate is determined as the current starting frequency plus the second compensation frequency, and the target starting gain is determined as the current starting gain plus the second compensation gain.

[0090] In some embodiments, the temperature threshold can be 43℃.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second compensation frequency can be 2HZ / S.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second compensation gain can be 10.

[0093] Of course, the temperature threshold and / or the second compensation frequency and / or the first compensation gain can also be other values, which can be set arbitrarily according to the model and configuration of the air conditioner, and the present disclosure does not make specific limitations on this.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first compensation frequency is greater than the second compensation frequency, and the first compensation gain is greater than the second compensation gain.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, different target rapid start rates and target start gains are determined according to the size of the outdoor environment temperature and the temperature threshold, and a larger start rate and start gain are used when the outdoor environment temperature is less than the temperature threshold, and a smaller start rate and start gain are used when the outdoor environment temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold. A larger start rate and start gain can be used when the load of the air conditioner is smaller, and a smaller start rate and start gain can be used when the load of the air conditioner is larger, which can improve the performance of the air conditioner and ensure reliability.

[0096] For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 3 shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an exemplary embodiment.

[0097] To provide a better experience for users, air conditioners usually have a fast cooling / heating function. Under certain conditions, the compressor will operate at a faster rapid start rate to achieve fast cooling / heating. Currently, the common practice is to fix the start control parameters, and there is no corresponding control parameter for different load requirements to provide the reliability of rapid start.

[0098] Among them, the air conditioner rapid start function will judge the current state when the indoor unit is powered on for the first time. Only when the whole machine meets the load requirement can it enter, and in order to provide the reliability of rapid start, prevent the compressor from losing step during the start process, different drive control parameters need to be selected according to different load requirements.

[0099] After the outdoor unit is powered on, the load of the current outdoor unit is judged by judging the outer ring, and the difference between the outer ring and the outer pipe is determined to determine that the system is in a static state and can be rapidly started. At the same time, the current start frequency is calculated, different start frequencies correspond to different frequency raising requirements, and different drive control parameters are selected.

[0100] As Figure 3As shown, the outdoor environment temperature and the outdoor coil temperature are sampled, and the fast start is determined only when the system is powered on. If Touter ring (outdoor environment temperature, same below) <

fast start outer ring threshold (temperature threshold, same below)

fast start threshold frequency (threshold frequency, same below)

fast start temperature difference threshold

low temperature start gain compensation (first compensation gain, same below)

low temperature start frequency compensation threshold (first compensation frequency, same below)

fast start threshold frequency

fast start temperature difference threshold

high temperature start gain compensation (second compensation gain, same below)

high temperature start frequency compensation threshold (second compensation frequency, same below)

[0101] In this example, the

fast start outer ring threshold

fast start threshold frequency

fast start temperature difference threshold

low temperature start gain compensation

start frequency low temperature compensation threshold

high temperature start gain compensation

start frequency high temperature compensation threshold

[0102] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the outdoor unit is powered on, the load of the current outdoor unit is distinguished by judging the outer ring, and the difference between the outer ring and the outer pipe is determined to determine that the system is in static state and can be fast started. The current start frequency is calculated, different start frequencies correspond to different frequency increase demands, and different drive control parameters are selected.

[0103] The air conditioner fast start function judges the current state when the indoor unit is powered on for the first time. Only when the whole machine meets the load requirement, the fast start can be entered. In order to provide the reliability of the fast start and prevent the compressor from losing step during the start process, different drive control parameters are selected according to different load demands.

[0104] After the outdoor unit is powered on, the load of the current outdoor unit is distinguished by judging the outer ring, and the difference between the outer ring and the outer pipe is determined to determine that the system is in static state and can be fast started. The current start frequency is calculated, different start frequencies correspond to different frequency increase demands, and different drive control parameters are selected. Without increasing the cost, the generality is strong, and it is suitable for all air conditioner fast start parameter controls.

[0105] Figure 4 A structure diagram of a control device 10 for quick start of an air conditioner is provided for an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.
