Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of intelligent control technology, and in particular to a control method and device for an air conditioner, and the air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In air conditioners, hydrophilic aluminum foil is usually arranged on the surface of the air conditioner fins. The hydrophilic aluminum foil can make water on the air conditioner fins flow along the fin surface. The contact angle θ between water and aluminum foil is less than 90° and the surface of the aluminum foil is not easy to accumulate to form water droplets. However, when the hydrophilic coating of the aluminum foil ages, its hydrophilic effect will gradually lose its effectiveness, so that the contact angle θ between water and aluminum foil is greater than 90°, and water droplets are easily generated on the surface of the aluminum foil. The spacing between the fins in the air conditioner is very dense. The water droplets will form a situation where the resistance is greater than the gravity due to the large contact area, causing the water droplets to hang between the aluminum foil to form water bridges, thereby blocking the flow of air between the air conditioner fins, that is, reducing the contact area between the air and the fins, reducing the cooling and air supply effects of the air conditioner, and microorganisms are easy to gather and grow in the water bridges, causing the air conditioner fins to produce odor, seriously affecting the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0003] The existing technology for dealing with water bridges on the fins is to heat the evaporator at the end of the air conditioner operation to evaporate the water bridges and dissipate them in the form of water vapor, thereby removing the water bridges formed on the fins. This method usually takes about 30 minutes, so it takes a long time. The patented technologies with patent numbers CN203869374U and CN112762520A both reduce the formation of water bridges between the fins by changing the evaporator structure. Although such methods can reduce the formation of water bridges, after a long period of accumulation, water bridges will still form on the fins, and they cannot fundamentally solve the corresponding technical problems. Therefore, the air conditioners using the existing technical methods have the problem of not being able to quickly and effectively remove water bridges on the fins. Summary of the Invention

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] In order to solve the problem of poor cleaning effect of the cleaning method used in the prior art for air conditioners, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for an air conditioner. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a control method for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention; the control method for the air conditioner is applied to the controller 11 of the air conditioner 1, and the control method for the air conditioner is executed by application software installed in the controller 11. The air conditioner 1 also includes a vibration device 12, a vibration conduction plate 13, an air conditioning fin 14 and an air outlet detector 15, the vibration conduction plate 13 is connected to the vibration device 12 and the air conditioning fin 14 at the same time, and the air outlet detector 15 is assembled at the air outlet of the air conditioner 1; the controller 11 is communicatively connected to the air outlet detector 15 to realize the transmission of data information, and the controller 11 is electrically connected to the vibration device 12.

[0048] Specifically, the side of the air conditioning fin 14 is mounted on a fixed plate 16. One end of the vibration transmission sheet 13 is connected to the fixed plate 16 and the other end is connected to the vibration device 12. When the vibration device 12 vibrates, the vibration transmission sheet 13 transmits the vibration to the air conditioning fin 14, causing the air conditioning fin 14 to vibrate and causing the water bridge on the air conditioning fin 14 in the air conditioning evaporator to be shaken off. Multiple vibration devices 12 can be distributed on the evaporator of the air conditioner 1 (not shown in the figure). The vibration devices 12 include but are not limited to ultrasonic vibration devices, vibration motors, etc. The controller 11 is the component used to control each unit module in the air conditioner 1, such as the control circuit board with an MCU chip provided in the air conditioner 1.

[0049] The specific implementation process of the control method for air conditioner provided by the present invention is described in detail below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps S110 to S140.

[0050] S110 : Obtain an air volume detection value detected by the air outlet detector.

[0051] The controller can obtain the air volume detection value detected by the air outlet detector. The air outlet detector is set at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the real-time air volume at the air outlet of the air conditioner can be obtained through the air outlet detector.

[0052] S120: Determine whether the air volume detection value meets a preset air volume determination condition.

[0053] Determine whether the air volume detection value satisfies a preset air volume determination condition. The determination of whether the air volume detection value satisfies the air volume determination condition can be made. If the air volume detection value satisfies the air volume determination condition, it indicates that the air volume is normal and there is no need to activate the vibration device. If the air volume does not satisfy the air volume determination condition, it indicates that the air volume is abnormal and it is necessary to activate the vibration device to remove the water bridge on the air conditioner fins (a water droplet located between two air conditioner fins forms a "water bridge" connecting the two air conditioner fins; in essence, the water droplet and the water bridge can be considered the same).

[0054] In a specific embodiment, step S120 includes the steps of: obtaining a basic air outlet value corresponding to the setting information of the air conditioner; determining whether a deviation value between the air outlet volume detection value and the basic air outlet value is less than a deviation threshold value of the air outlet judgment condition; if the deviation value is less than the deviation threshold value, determining that the air outlet volume detection value meets the air outlet judgment condition; if the deviation value is not less than the deviation threshold value, determining that the air outlet volume detection value does not meet the air outlet judgment condition.

[0055] Obtain a basic air output value corresponding to the air conditioner's setting information. Specifically, the setting information may be the air output level currently set for the air conditioner. The controller is configured with an air output information table that lists air output levels and corresponding basic air output values. The basic air output value corresponding to the setting information can be obtained from this air output information table. The basic air output value corresponding to each air output level can be obtained by testing the air conditioner. For example, by installing new air conditioner fins in the air conditioner and setting different air output levels, and then using an air detector to detect air flow rates at different air output levels, the air flow rate detection values ​​at different air output levels are also the basic air output values.

[0056] For example, the contents of the air outlet information table are shown in Table 1.

[0057] Table 1

[0058] Air outlet position <![CDATA[Base air outlet value m 3 / h]]> 1 450 2 550 3 650 4 750 …… ……

[0059] After obtaining the basic air flow value corresponding to the setting information, the deviation between the air flow detection value and the basic air flow value can be calculated, and then it can be further determined whether the deviation value is less than the deviation threshold set in the air flow judgment condition. For example, the deviation threshold can be set to 45m 3 / h.

[0060] If the deviation value is less than the deviation threshold, it indicates that the normal air output of the air conditioner is relatively close to the basic air output value, and the air output volume detection value is determined to meet the air output judgment condition; if the deviation value is not less than the deviation threshold, it indicates that the gap between the normal air output of the air conditioner and the basic air output value is large, and the air output volume detection value is determined to not meet the air output judgment condition.

[0061] S130: If the air volume detection value does not meet the air outlet judgment condition, obtain a driving parameter corresponding to the air volume detection value according to a preset vibration configuration table.

[0062] If the air volume detection value does not meet the air flow judgment condition, the drive parameters corresponding to the air volume detection value are obtained according to the pre-configured vibration configuration table. If the air volume detection value does not meet the air flow judgment condition, the drive parameters corresponding to the air volume detection value can be obtained according to the pre-configured vibration configuration table in the controller. In other words, different air volume detection values ​​can be matched with different sets of drive parameters from the vibration configuration table.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, step S130 includes the steps of: calculating the deviation ratio between the air output detection value and the basic air output value; obtaining the parameter value corresponding to the deviation ratio in the vibration configuration table as the driving parameter corresponding to the air output detection value.

[0064] Specifically, the deviation ratio between the air volume detection value and the air output basic value can be calculated, and the corresponding parameter value in the vibration configuration table is obtained through the deviation ratio as the corresponding driving parameter.

[0065] The deviation ratio is to calculate the deviation between the air volume detection value and the air volume base value (the deviation value is the absolute value of the difference between the air volume detection value and the air volume base value), and then divide the deviation value by the air volume base value to obtain the corresponding deviation ratio. For example, the air volume detection value is 400 3 / h, the basic air output value is 450 3 / h, the corresponding calculated deviation ratio is 11.1%.

[0066] In a specific application process, the driving parameters may only include the driving gear. In this case, the information included in the vibration configuration table is shown in Table 2.

[0067] Table 2

[0068] Deviation ratio Drive gear 10%-15% 1 15%-20% 2 20%-25% 3 >25% 4

[0069] In other embodiments, the driving parameters may further include a driving gear and a driving time. In this case, the information included in the vibration configuration table is as shown in Table 3.

[0070] Table 3

[0071] Deviation ratio Drive gear Driving time (minutes) 10%-15% 1 3 15%-20% 2 5 20%-25% 3 6 >25% 4 8

[0072] S140: Drive the vibration device according to the driving parameters, so that the vibration device drives the air conditioner fins to vibrate.

[0073] The vibration device is driven to operate according to the driving parameters, so that the vibration device causes the air conditioner fins to vibrate. The controller can drive the vibration device to operate according to the driving parameters. At this time, the operating state of the vibration device matches the driving parameters. The vibration device then causes the air conditioner fins to vibrate, thereby causing the water bridge on the air conditioner fins to drip due to the vibration.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, step S140 includes the steps of: obtaining a driving voltage value corresponding to the driving parameter; outputting a voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value to the vibration device to drive the vibration device to work; obtaining the air outlet detection value obtained by the air outlet detector in real time and judging whether the air outlet detection value meets the air outlet judgment condition; if the air outlet detection value meets the air outlet judgment condition, driving the vibration device to stop working.

[0075] The driving parameters only include the driving gears. Specifically, the vibration device can be controlled to work at different driving gears by controlling the driving voltage value. Specifically, the driving voltage value corresponding to the driving parameters can be obtained. For example, the driving voltage value corresponding to the driving gear 1 is 5V; the driving voltage value corresponding to the driving gear 2 is 10V; the driving voltage value corresponding to the driving gear 3 is 15V; and the driving voltage value corresponding to the driving gear 4 is 20V.

[0076] After obtaining the driving voltage value, the controller can output a voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value to the vibration device. In other words, the voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value is applied to the positive and negative terminals of the vibration device, thereby driving the vibration device to operate. During this process, the controller can obtain the air volume detection value detected by the air outlet detector and determine whether the air volume detection value meets the above-mentioned air outlet judgment condition. If the air volume detection value meets the air outlet judgment condition, the vibration device is driven to stop working, thereby achieving the purpose of efficiently removing water droplets from the air conditioner fins. The greater the voltage output to the vibration device, the greater the amplitude generated by the vibration device. In other words, the amplitude generated by the vibration device can be controlled by controlling the magnitude of the output voltage.

[0077] In a specific embodiment, step S140 includes the steps of: acquiring a driving voltage value and a driving time corresponding to the driving parameter; and outputting a voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value to the vibration device within the driving time to drive the vibration device to operate.

[0078] In another embodiment, the driving parameters include both the driving gear and the driving time, and the controller can also obtain the driving voltage value and driving time corresponding to the driving parameters, wherein the driving voltage value is obtained in the same way as the driving voltage value in the above steps, and the driving time can be directly obtained from the driving parameters.

[0079] The controller can output a voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value to the vibration device within the driving time, and stop outputting the voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value after the driving time is exceeded. At this time, the vibration device only works within the driving time. For example, if the driving time is 5 minutes, the controller drives the vibration device to work for 5 minutes.

[0080] In a specific embodiment, step S140 further includes the following steps: if the vibration device has finished working, returning to the step of obtaining the air volume detection value detected by the air outlet detector.

[0081] After the vibration device finishes working, it can return to the step of obtaining the air volume detection value obtained by the air outlet detector, that is, return to execute step S110, thereby realizing the cyclic detection of the air volume detection value, that is, realizing the process of cyclic detection and judgment of whether there is a water bridge on the air-conditioning fins in the air conditioner.

[0082] The above technical method determines whether to turn on the vibration device to shake off the water droplets on the air conditioner fins by detecting the change in air volume at the air outlet of the air conditioner (under the windshield), and controls the vibration intensity of the vibration device, so as to achieve the density of removing the water bridges generated on the air conditioner fins. The time for removing water droplets on the air conditioner fins after the air conditioner ends is shortened from 30 minutes of the existing heating evaporation technology to about 5 minutes, solving the problem of water bridges on the air conditioner fins reducing the cooling and air supply effects of the air conditioner, and at the same time avoiding the problem of odor generated by the air conditioner fins in the air conditioner due to residual water bridges, greatly improving the actual use experience of the air conditioner.

[0083] A control method for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention obtains an air volume detection value and determines whether an air volume judgment condition is met. If the air volume detection value does not meet the air volume judgment condition, a driving parameter corresponding to the air volume detection value is obtained according to a vibration configuration table, and a vibration device is driven according to the driving parameter to drive the air conditioner fins to vibrate through the vibration device and remove water droplets remaining on the air conditioner fins.

[0084] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to automatically detect whether there is a water bridge between the air-conditioning fins. When the air outlet detection value does not meet the air outlet judgment condition, it is determined that there is a water bridge between the air-conditioning fins, thereby driving the vibration device to drive the air-conditioning fins to vibrate and remove the residual water droplets on the air-conditioning fins, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly and efficiently removing the water bridge on the air-conditioning fins in the air-conditioning unit.

[0085] Corresponding to the above-mentioned control method for an air conditioner, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a control device for an air conditioner, which can be configured in the controller of the air conditioner 1 and is used to execute any embodiment of the above-mentioned control method for an air conditioner.

[0087] The acquisition module 110 is configured to acquire an air flow detection value detected by the air flow detector.

[0092] The driving module 140 is configured to drive the vibration device to operate according to the driving parameters, so that the vibration device drives the air conditioner fins to vibrate.

[0093] In a specific embodiment, the driving module 140 also includes the following units: a driving voltage value acquisition unit, used to obtain a driving voltage value corresponding to the driving parameter; a voltage output unit, used to output a voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value to the vibration device to drive the vibration device to work; an air outlet judgment unit, used to obtain the air outlet volume detection value obtained by the air outlet detector in real time and judge whether the air outlet volume detection value meets the air outlet judgment condition; a stop drive unit, used to drive the vibration device to stop working if the air outlet volume detection value meets the air outlet judgment condition.

[0094] In a specific embodiment, the driving module 140 also includes the following units: an acquisition unit, used to obtain a driving voltage value and a driving time corresponding to the driving parameters; and a driving control unit, used to output a voltage corresponding to the driving voltage value to the vibration device within the driving time to drive the vibration device to operate.

[0095] In a specific embodiment, the control device 100 for the air conditioner further includes the following modules: a return execution module, configured to return to the step of obtaining the air volume detection value detected by the air outlet detector after the vibration device has finished working.

[0096] In the control device for an air conditioner provided in an embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet volume detection value is obtained and it is determined whether an air outlet judgment condition is met. If the air outlet volume detection value does not meet the air outlet judgment condition, a driving parameter corresponding to the air outlet volume detection value is obtained according to a vibration configuration table, and a vibration device is driven to work according to the driving parameter, so as to drive the air conditioner fins to vibrate through the vibration device and remove residual water droplets on the air conditioner fins.

[0097] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to automatically detect whether there is a water bridge between the air-conditioning fins. When the air outlet detection value does not meet the air outlet judgment condition, it is determined that there is a water bridge between the air-conditioning fins, thereby driving the vibration device to drive the air-conditioning fins to vibrate and remove the residual water droplets on the air-conditioning fins, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly and efficiently removing the water bridge on the air-conditioning fins in the air-conditioning unit.

[0098] like Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, which uses the steps of the control method for an air conditioner as described in the above embodiment. Specifically, the air conditioner 1 includes a controller 11, a vibration device 12, a vibration conduction plate 13, an air conditioning fin 14 and an air outlet detector 15.

When the vibration device 12 vibrates, the vibration conduction plate 13 transmits the vibration to the air-conditioning fin 14, causing the air-conditioning fin 14 to start vibrating and causing the water bridge on the air-conditioning fin 14 in the air-conditioning evaporator to be vibrated off. Multiple vibration devices 12 can be distributed on the evaporator of the air conditioner 1 (not shown in the figure), and the vibration device 12 includes but is not limited to an ultrasonic vibration device, a vibration motor, etc.
