[0027] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar notations used throughout the drawings and the specific description denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.
[0028] The anti-condensation control method, device, air conditioning device and storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Figure 1 A flowchart of an anti-condensation control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1.
[0030] The execution subject of the anti-condensation control method of the embodiments of the present application is an anti-condensation control device, which can be arranged in an air conditioning device, such as an air conditioner, a refrigerator, a dehumidifier, etc., and is not limited in the present embodiment.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, the method can include the following steps: Figure 1
[0032] Step 101, in the case that the air conditioning device is in an anti-condensation mode, determining the dew point temperature, the ambient temperature and the fan gear of the air conditioning device in the current indoor environment.
[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, the air conditioning device is in a cooling mode or a dehumidifying mode, and is operated for a set duration, such as 20 minutes to 40 minutes, and then it is determined whether to enter an anti-condensation control mode. In the case that the following conditions are met, it is determined that the air conditioning device enters the anti-condensation mode:
[0034] 1) the air conditioning device is in a cooling mode;
[0035] 2) the indoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to a first limit value (the first limit value is 28-30℃) of the indoor ambient temperature for entering the anti-condensation mode;
[0036] 3) the outdoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to a second limit value of the entering anti-condensation outdoor ambient temperature (the second limit value is 26-35℃);
[0037] 4) the indoor relative humidity is greater than or equal to an entering anti-condensation indoor humidity limit value (the indoor humidity limit value is 70-75%)
[0038] It should be noted that when there is no humidity sensor, or the humidity sensor detection value is 0%, or the humidity sensor is faulty, the fourth humidity condition is not judged.
[0039] The dew point temperature is the temperature at which the gaseous water contained in the air needs to be reduced to reach saturation and condense into liquid water. As an implementation, an air enthalpy humidity table is obtained, wherein the air enthalpy humidity table includes the dew point temperature corresponding to each humidity value, so that the indoor humidity value is looked up in the air enthalpy humidity table to determine the dew point temperature corresponding to the indoor humidity value. The indoor humidity value can be obtained based on the humidity sensor of the air conditioning device. If the air conditioning device does not have a humidity sensor, the set humidity value can be used as the indoor humidity value, for example, the set humidity value is 70% to 80%, and the value of the set humidity value is not limited in this embodiment.
[0040] The current ambient temperature can be detected by a temperature sensor in the air conditioning device. The indoor fan gear of the air conditioning device, i.e., the fan gear set by the current air conditioning device, is, for example, any gear in 1-5 gears, wherein the larger the fan gear, the more cold output during cooling, and the smaller the gear, the less cold output during cooling.
[0041] Step 102, determining a target anti-condensation temperature difference value according to a first temperature difference value between the ambient temperature and a first set temperature, and the fan gear.
[0042] The first set temperature is a target value of the indoor temperature that the user sets for the air conditioning device to reach through cooling, for example, the first set temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, i.e., the user hopes to cool the indoor temperature to 25 degrees Celsius.
[0043] The target anti-condensation temperature difference value indicates the difference between the temperature of the evaporator in the indoor unit of the air conditioning device and the dew point temperature in the case of achieving anti-condensation.
[0044] It should be noted that the temperature of the evaporator, i.e., the temperature of the evaporator coil.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the air conditioning device is in the refrigeration mode, and the first temperature difference value changes with the increase of the refrigeration time. In order to improve the accuracy of the target anti-condensation temperature difference value, the target anti-condensation temperature difference value can be determined according to the first temperature difference value between the real-time detected ambient temperature and the first set temperature, and the fan gear. That is, when the first temperature difference value changes and / or the fan gear changes, the target anti-condensation temperature difference value also changes, thereby avoiding the target anti-condensation temperature difference value being constant all the time and improving the accuracy.
[0046] In step 103, the expected temperature of the evaporator of the air conditioning device is determined according to the running time of the air conditioning device, the target anti-condensation temperature difference value, and the dew point temperature.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the demand for cold energy changes during the refrigeration process. The demand for cold energy is high at the initial stage of air conditioning refrigeration, and decreases with the progress of refrigeration. The demand for cold energy is related to the refrigeration time. When the refrigeration time is short, the demand for cold energy is large, and when the refrigeration time is long, the demand for cold energy decreases. Therefore, the target anti-condensation temperature difference value is adjusted based on the running time of the air conditioning device to obtain an adjusted target anti-condensation temperature difference value considering the time factor. Then, the expected temperature of the evaporator of the air conditioning device is obtained by subtracting the adjusted target anti-condensation temperature difference value from the dew point temperature, wherein the expected temperature indicates the temperature to which the evaporator needs to be adjusted.
[0048] In step 104, the running frequency of the compressor of the air conditioning device is adjusted according to the expected temperature and the actual temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator.
[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the temperature range of the inner tube of the evaporator can be determined according to the calculated expected temperature. The actual temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator measured is compared with the determined temperature range to determine how to adjust the running frequency of the compressor of the air conditioning device for condensation control. By adjusting the running frequency of the compressor, the temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator is adjusted so that the temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator is within the range that can prevent condensation, thereby improving the control effect of preventing condensation. At the same time, the running time takes into account the demand for cold energy at different stages of refrigeration, thereby ensuring the effect of refrigeration, that is, while ensuring the cold energy output of the air conditioning device, the generation of condensation is slowed down, and the reliability of the anti-condensation control is improved.
[0050] The anti-condensation control method of the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the air conditioning device is in the anti-condensation mode, determines the demand for cold energy according to the first temperature difference between the ambient temperature and the first set temperature and the fan gear, determines the target anti-condensation temperature difference corresponding to the first temperature difference and the fan gear based on the demand for cold energy, improves the accuracy of the determination of the anti-condensation temperature difference, and at the same time, adjusts the target anti-condensation temperature difference according to the running time, determines the expected temperature of the evaporator based on the target anti-condensation temperature difference obtained by the adjustment, adjusts the running frequency of the compressor based on the gap between the expected temperature and the actual temperature, realizes sufficient consideration of the refrigeration demand in the process of anti-condensation, and realizes the reduction of the condensation risk while ensuring the refrigeration effect.
[0051] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 Another anti-condensation control method provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the flowchart as Figure 2 The method comprises the following steps:
[0052] Step 201, in the case that the air conditioning device is in the anti-condensation mode, the dew point temperature of the current indoor environment, the ambient temperature and the fan gear of the air conditioning device are determined.
[0053] In step 201, the same principles as the above embodiments can be referred to for explanation, and details are not repeated here.
[0054] Step 202, an initial anti-condensation temperature difference is set.
[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the temperature required to be set for the evaporator of the air conditioning device can be determined according to the determined dew point temperature of the indoor environment, so that the evaporator can realize anti-condensation at the set temperature, that is, to avoid the water vapor in the air from condensing on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger or the surface of the air duct, affecting the refrigeration effect of the air conditioning device, and even causing the problem of water blowing in the air duct. Further, according to the dew point temperature and the demand for anti-condensation, the initial anti-condensation temperature difference can be determined, that is, in the case that the initial anti-condensation temperature difference is met, anti-condensation can be realized.
[0056] Step 203, an adjustment value is determined according to the first temperature difference and the fan gear.
[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the indoor room cooling demand is determined according to the first temperature difference, and the cooling output of the room is different at different fan positions, for example, the cooling output of the room is less at a lower fan position, and the condensation phenomenon is slightly improved compared to a higher fan position. Therefore, the adjustment value at different fan positions is determined to correct the set condensation prevention temperature difference, so that when the cooling demand is high, the target condensation prevention temperature difference obtained by adjusting the corresponding adjustment value can ensure the cooling output and slow down the generation of condensation phenomenon, and when the cooling demand gradually decreases, the cooling output is reduced and the condensation phenomenon is slowed down.
[0058] Therefore, the first temperature difference and the fan position are different, and the corresponding adjustment value is also different. The adjustment value can be set based on prior experience, and different scenarios will be described below.
[0059] In one scenario, the first temperature difference is compared with the second set temperature and the third set temperature respectively, wherein the third set temperature is greater than the second set temperature. In response to the first temperature difference being greater than the second set temperature, the adjustment value corresponding to the fan position is determined.
[0060] In the second scenario, the first temperature difference is compared with the second set temperature and the third set temperature respectively, wherein the third set temperature is greater than the second set temperature. In response to the first temperature difference being greater than or equal to the third set temperature and less than or equal to the second set temperature, the adjustment value corresponding to the fan position is determined.
[0061] In the third scenario, the first temperature difference is compared with the second set temperature and the third set temperature respectively, wherein the third set temperature is greater than the second set temperature. In response to the first temperature difference being less than the third set temperature, the adjustment value corresponding to the fan position is determined.
[0062] It should be noted that in the process of refrigeration, the refrigeration demand is different in different scenarios, and the adjustment value determined for the same fan position is different under different first temperature differences. Each combination of the first temperature difference and the fan position has a corresponding adjustment value, which meets the different refrigeration demands and the condensation adjustment requirements.
[0063] In step 204, the initial condensation prevention temperature difference is adjusted according to the adjustment value to obtain a target condensation prevention temperature difference.
[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, after the adjustment value is determined, the initial anti-condensation temperature difference is adjusted according to the adjustment value to obtain the target anti-condensation temperature difference, which realizes that the actual refrigeration demand is considered in the process of anti-condensation control, the target anti-condensation temperature difference is obtained by adjusting the initial anti-condensation temperature difference, the accuracy of determining the target anti-condensation temperature difference is improved, and the occurrence of condensation is slowed down while ensuring the cold output of the air conditioning equipment.
[0065] As an example, the indoor fan gear of the air conditioning equipment contains 7 gears, the second set temperature is 1 degree Celsius, and the third set temperature is -1 degree Celsius. The corresponding target anti-condensation temperature difference in various cases is shown in the following Table 1.
[0066] Table 1
[0067]
[0068] Wherein, △T is the initial anti-condensation temperature difference, △T1-△T11 is the determined adjustment value of each set, wherein the adjustment value of the set decreases with the increase of the gear under the condition that the first temperature difference is unchanged; at the same time, under the same fan gear, the greater the first temperature difference, the greater the corresponding adjustment value of the set, that is, △T1-△T11 decreases in turn.
[0069] In step 205, the expected temperature of the evaporator of the air conditioning equipment is determined according to the running length of the air conditioning equipment, the target anti-condensation temperature difference and the dew point temperature.
[0070] Wherein, the step 205 can refer to the explanation and description in the foregoing embodiments, the principle is the same, and details are not repeated here.
[0071] In step 206, the running frequency of the compressor of the air conditioning equipment is adjusted according to the expected temperature and the actual temperature of the evaporator.
[0072] In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, based on the power adjustment mode in different scenarios shown in Table 2:
[0073] Table 2
[0074]
[0075]
[0076] Wherein, Tconventional 1 and Tconventional 2 are the set temperature adjustment range, which increases the tolerance range and improves the accuracy of frequency adjustment.
[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the expected temperature and the set temperature adjustment range, the temperature interval corresponding to the evaporator is determined in the case of meeting the refrigerating capacity while slowing down the occurrence of condensation phenomenon, and then according to the temperature interval to which the actual temperature of the evaporator belongs, the adjustment strategy of the corresponding compressor operating frequency is determined, and according to the corresponding compressor operating frequency adjustment strategy, the operating frequency of the compressor of the air conditioning equipment is adjusted, so as to realize the slow down of the condensation phenomenon while ensuring the cold output of the air conditioning equipment, and improve the reliability of the anti-condensation control.
[0078] In the anti-condensation control method of the embodiment of the present application, during the anti-condensation control, the compressor operating frequency is controlled by judging the indoor environment temperature, humidity, fan gear and running time, so as to improve the condensation phenomenon while ensuring the output of indoor cold, ensure the user's refrigeration comfort, and avoid the safety problems caused by the condensation phenomenon, and improve the reliability of the anti-condensation control.
[0079] Based on the above embodiment, Figure 3 Another flowchart of the anti-condensation control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps:
[0080] Step 301, in the case that the air conditioning equipment is in the anti-condensation mode, the dew point temperature, the environment temperature and the fan gear of the air conditioning equipment in the current indoor environment are determined.
[0081] Step 302, according to the first temperature difference between the environment temperature and the first set temperature, and the fan gear, the target anti-condensation temperature difference is determined.
[0082] Wherein, the explanation and description in the foregoing method embodiment are also applicable to step 301 and step 302 of the present embodiment, and the principle is the same, which will not be repeated here.
[0083] Step 303, according to the running time of the air conditioning equipment, the corresponding time coefficient is determined.
[0084] Wherein, the time coefficient and the running time are in inverse proportional relationship.
[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the running time of the air conditioning equipment, when the air conditioning running time is short, the condensation phenomenon is better, at this time, the cold output is mainly considered, the indoor temperature and humidity are reduced, and the evaporator tube temperature is limited to be too low to slow down the deterioration of the condensation phenomenon; when the air conditioning running time gradually increases, the condensation phenomenon gradually deteriorates, at this time, the reliability is mainly considered, the evaporator tube temperature is increased to ensure that the condensation does not deteriorate.
[0086] In the embodiment of the application, the time length coefficient corresponding to the actual operation time length of the air conditioning device can be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the actual operation time length and the time length coefficient. As an implementation manner, the set operation time length can be set to include a first time length and a second time length, the second time length being greater than the first time length. The corresponding time length coefficient can be determined according to the interval of the set operation time length to which the actual operation time length belongs.
[0087] In one scenario, the operation time length of the air conditioning device is less than the first time length, and the time length coefficient is a first set value, for example, [1.2, 1.4];
[0088] In a second scenario, the operation time length of the air conditioning device is greater than or equal to the first time length and less than the second time length, and the time length coefficient is a second set value, for example, [1.1, 1.2).
[0089] In a third scenario, the operation time length of the air conditioning device is greater than the second time length, and the time length coefficient is a third set value, for example, 1.
[0090] It should be noted that the values of the time length coefficient, the first time length and the second time length can be set according to requirements, and are not limited in the embodiment.
[0091] In step 304, the target anti-condensation temperature difference is adjusted according to the time length coefficient to determine an adjusted target anti-condensation temperature difference.
[0092] In one implementation manner of the embodiment of the application, the time length coefficient is multiplied by the target anti-condensation temperature difference to obtain the adjusted target anti-condensation temperature difference, that is, the following relationship is satisfied:
[0093] Adjusted target anti-condensation temperature difference = time length coefficient * target anti-condensation temperature difference.
[0094] In step 305, the expected temperature of the evaporator is determined according to the difference between the dew point temperature and the adjusted target anti-condensation temperature difference.
[0095] The expected temperature satisfies the following relationship:
[0096] Expected temperature = dew point temperature - adjusted target anti-condensation temperature difference.
[0097] In step 306, the operation frequency of the compressor of the air conditioning device is adjusted according to the expected temperature and the actual temperature of the evaporator.
[0098] The explanation and description in the foregoing method embodiment also apply to step 306 of the embodiment, and the principle is the same, which will not be described here.
[0099] The condensation control method of the embodiments of the present application is better when the air conditioner is running for a short time, at which time cold output is mainly used to reduce indoor temperature and humidity, while limiting the temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator from being too low to slow down the deterioration of condensation. When the air conditioner is running for a gradually increasing length of time, the condensation gradually deteriorates, at which time reliability is mainly used to increase the temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator to ensure that condensation does not deteriorate.
[0100] Based on the above embodiments, in order to further clearly illustrate the condensation control method, the following describes specific scenarios:
[0101] The data collected by the temperature sensor arranged on the air conditioning equipment determines that the indoor environment temperature is 28°C and the outdoor environment temperature is 32°C. The data collected by the humidity sensor determines that the indoor humidity is 80%, and the condensation temperature difference is a set value determined based on prior experience. When the user starts the air conditioning equipment and runs in the cooling mode, the first set temperature is 25°C, the fan gear of the indoor unit is 4 gears, and after running for 20 minutes, it is determined to enter the condensation control mode based on the detection of the condensation condition.
[0102] According to the indoor humidity value and the pre-recorded air enthalpy table, the dew point temperature is calculated to be 22°C;
[0103] At this time, based on the detection data, it is determined that the indoor environment temperature is 28°C, the fan gear is 4 gears, and the condensation temperature difference is set to 6°C. According to the first temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the first set temperature and the fan gear, the set adjustment value is determined to be 1.6°C, so the target condensation temperature difference = initial condensation temperature difference + adjustment value = 6 + 1.6 = 7.6°C.
[0104] The set first time length is determined to be 1 hour, and when the running time of the air conditioning equipment < the first time length, i.e. 1 hour, the time length coefficient K takes the value 1.3, the expected temperature of the evaporator = dew point temperature - target condensation temperature difference * K = 22 - 7.6 * 1.3 = 12.12°C, and then the compressor operating frequency is adjusted according to the expected temperature and the actual temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator. At present, the expected temperature of the evaporator is relatively low, which can ensure the refrigeration effect.
[0105] When the air conditioning equipment continues to run, the set second time length is 2 hours, the first time length ≤ the running time of the air conditioner < the second time length, and the time length coefficient K takes a lower value of 1.1, the expected temperature of the evaporator = dew point temperature - target condensation temperature difference * K = 22 - 7.6 * 1.1 = 13.64°C, and then the compressor operating frequency is adjusted according to the expected temperature and the actual temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator, wherein the expected temperature of the evaporator increases with the increase of the running time of the air conditioner to reduce the risk of condensation.
[0106] When the indoor temperature decreases from 28℃ to 26℃, the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the first set temperature is 1℃, the room temperature is close to the first set temperature, and it is more comfortable, the cooling capacity output can be reduced, and the temperature of the evaporator is increased to ensure the reliability of the anti-condensation capability. Then, according to the first temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the first set temperature and the fan gear, the set adjustment value corresponding to the initial anti-condensation temperature difference is re-determined, for example, the adjustment value is 0.6, and the target anti-condensation temperature difference = initial anti-condensation temperature difference + adjustment value = 6 + 0.6 = 6.6℃;
[0107] The expected temperature of the evaporator = dew point temperature - target anti-condensation temperature difference * K = 22 - 6.6 * 1.1 = 14.74℃.
[0108] As the air conditioning regulating device operates, when the operating time of the air conditioning regulating device is greater than or equal to the second operating time, i.e., 2h, the time coefficient K takes the value 1, the expected temperature of the evaporator = dew point temperature - target anti-condensation temperature difference * K = 22 - 6.6 * 1 = 15.4℃, and then the operating frequency of the compressor is regulated according to the expected temperature and the actual temperature of the inner tube of the evaporator. The expected temperature of the evaporator increases with the increase of the operating time of the air conditioner, and the risk of condensation is reduced. If the indoor temperature changes, the expected temperature of the evaporator is corrected again according to the logical judgment to improve the accuracy.
[0109] Wherein, when any of the following conditions is met, the anti-condensation mode is exited:
[0110] a. Entering other modes such as heating mode, air supply mode;
[0111] b. The indoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the anti-condensation indoor ambient temperature limit + 1℃;
[0112] c. The outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the anti-condensation outdoor ambient temperature limit + 1℃;
[0113] d. The indoor relative humidity is less than or equal to the anti-condensation indoor humidity limit - 10%. (If there is no humidity sensor, the humidity sensor detects 0%, and the humidity sensor is faulty, the condition is not judged.)
[0114] In the anti-condensation control method of the embodiment of the application, during the anti-condensation control, the compressor frequency is controlled by judging the indoor ambient temperature, humidity, fan gear and operating time, the condensation phenomenon is improved while ensuring the output of indoor cooling capacity, the user's cooling comfort is ensured, the safety problem caused by the condensation phenomenon is avoided, and the reliability of the anti-condensation control is improved.
