[0002] Currently, air conditioners are widely used and have become a necessity of daily life. However, the compressor of an air conditioner will vibrate during operation. If this vibration is not reduced, it will be transmitted to the pipes inside the compressor.

[0004] Related technologies typically reduce compressor-transmitted vibrations by indirectly controlling pipeline vibration, which is difficult to effectively correct for vibration variations in different pipelines. This still makes it easy for pipeline stress to accumulate and lead to pipeline breakage, resulting in poor vibration reduction effectiveness.

[0007] This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for controlling an air conditioner, an air conditioner, and a storage medium, which can improve the effect of reducing compressor vibration.

[0008] In some embodiments, the method for controlling an air conditioner includes a vibration damping device at the bottom of the air conditioner compressor.

[0013] In some embodiments, determining the target operating parameters of the compressor based on the compressor status includes: when the compressor is in an operating state, acquiring the operating frequency of the compressor; and determining the operating frequency of the compressor as the target operating parameter.

[0014] In some embodiments, controlling the rotational speed of the vibration damping device according to the target operating parameters of the compressor includes: matching a target rotational speed corresponding to the target operating parameters from a preset rotational speed database; the preset rotational speed database stores the correspondence between target operating parameters and target rotational speeds.

The rotation speed of the vibration damping device is controlled according to the target operating parameters of the compressor. Thus, by directly installing the vibration damping device at the bottom of the compressor, the vibration damping device is used for controlled rotation to reduce the vibration generated during compressor operation.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an air conditioner compressor. Figure 1 It includes a compressor 1 and a vibration damping device 2. The vibration damping device 2 is used for controlled rotation to reduce the vibration generated by the compressor 1 during operation.

[0035] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 This is a top view of the structure of a vibration damping device. Figure 3 This is a structural cross-sectional view of a vibration damping device. The vibration damping device includes a fan bracket 3, a gyro fan 4, a housing 5, a motor 6, an air inlet 7, an air outlet 8, a bearing 9, and a dust removal port 10. The motor 6 is connected to the bearing 9, and the motor 6 drives the bearing 9 to rotate. The bearing 9 is housed inside the gyro fan 4, and the bearing 9 drives the gyro fan 4 to rotate. In some embodiments, the air conditioner controls the motor 6 to drive the bearing 9 to rotate, and the bearing 9 drives the gyro fan 4 to rotate, thereby reducing the vibration generated during compressor operation. The fan bracket 3 is used to fix the gyro fan 4. When the gyro fan 4 rotates, it can reduce the vibration generated during compressor operation, making the compressor operation more stable. The air inlet 7 and the air outlet 8 can enhance the heat dissipation of the compressor, thereby improving the compressor efficiency and the energy efficiency of the air conditioner. The dust removal port 10 allows the user to easily clean the dust accumulated in the vibration damping device.

[0036] Combination Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner. A vibration damping device is provided at the bottom of the air conditioner compressor. The vibration damping device is used for controlled rotation to reduce vibrations generated during compressor operation. The method includes:

[0037] Step S401: The air conditioner obtains the compressor status.

[0038] In step S402, the air conditioner determines the target operating parameters of the compressor based on the compressor status.

[0039] In step S403, the air conditioner controls the speed of the vibration damping device according to the target operating parameters of the compressor.

[0040] The method for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure acquires the compressor status and determines the target operating parameters of the compressor based on the compressor status. The rotational speed of the vibration damping device is then controlled according to the target operating parameters of the compressor. In this way, by directly installing the vibration damping device at the bottom of the compressor, the device is used for controlled rotation to reduce vibrations generated during compressor operation. By controlling the rotational speed of the vibration damping device differently according to different target operating parameters under different compressor statuses, vibration reduction is achieved directly at the source of vibration, thereby improving the effectiveness of compressor vibration reduction.

[0041] Furthermore, the air conditioner acquires the compressor status, including: monitoring the compressor, and determining the compressor status as "on" if the compressor is detected to be running, and / or determining the compressor status as "off" if the compressor is detected to be shut down.

[0042] Furthermore, the air conditioner acquires the compressor status, including: when the compressor is in the "on" state, acquiring the compressor's start-up time. If the start-up time exceeds a preset value, the compressor is determined to be in the "running" state. The preset value is 3 minutes.

[0043] Furthermore, the air conditioner determines the target operating parameters of the compressor based on the compressor's status, including: when the compressor is in the on state, obtaining the compressor's start-up time. This start-up time is then determined as the target operating parameter. In this way, by determining the compressor's start-up time as the target operating parameter, the target speed determined based on the start-up time can reduce compressor vibration at different times during the compressor's start-up process.

[0044] Furthermore, the air conditioner determines the target operating parameters of the compressor based on the compressor's status, including: when the air conditioner is in the compressor-off state, obtaining the compressor's off-time. The compressor's off-time is then determined as the target operating parameter. In this way, by determining the compressor's off-time as the target operating parameter, and based on the target speed determined by the start-up time, compressor vibration at different times during the compressor's shutdown process can be reduced.

[0045] Furthermore, the air conditioner determines the target operating parameters of the compressor based on the compressor's status, including: when the compressor is running, acquiring the compressor's operating frequency. This operating frequency is then determined as the target operating parameter. In this way, by setting the compressor's operating frequency as the target operating parameter, the target speed determined based on the operating frequency can reduce compressor vibration at different operating frequencies during operation.

[0046] Furthermore, the air conditioner controls the rotation speed of the vibration damping device based on the compressor's target operating parameters, including: the air conditioner matching a target rotation speed corresponding to the target operating parameters from a preset rotation speed database. The preset rotation speed database stores the correspondence between target operating parameters and target rotation speeds. The vibration damping device is controlled to rotate at the target rotation speed. The target rotation speed corresponding to the target operating parameters can reduce the compressor vibration under those target operating parameters.

[0047] Furthermore, the air conditioner controls the vibration damping device to rotate at a target speed, including: the motor drive bearing in the air conditioner controls the vibration damping device to rotate at the target speed, thereby driving the gyroscope fan to rotate at the target speed. In this way, the rotation of the gyroscope fan can not only counteract the vibration generated during compressor operation, but also achieve heat dissipation for the compressor.

[0048] In some embodiments, the target operating parameter is the operating frequency. When the operating frequency is S1, the target speed P1 corresponding to the operating frequency S1 is matched from a preset speed database. When the operating frequency is S2, the target speed P2 corresponding to the operating frequency S2 is matched from the preset speed database. When the operating frequency is S3, the target speed P3 corresponding to the operating frequency S3 is matched from the preset speed database. In this way, by pre-storing the correspondence between the operating frequency and the target speed in the speed database, the target speed can be quickly determined, thereby improving control efficiency, achieving faster vibration reduction, and enhancing the vibration reduction effect.

[0049] In some embodiments, the target operating parameter is the start-up time. When the start-up time is T1, the target speed corresponding to start-up time T1 is matched from a preset speed database as Q1. When the start-up time is T2, the target speed corresponding to start-up time T2 is matched from the preset speed database as Q2. When the start-up time is T3, the target speed corresponding to start-up time T3 is matched from the preset speed database as Q3. In this way, by pre-storing the correspondence between start-up time and target speed in the speed database, the target speed can be quickly determined, thereby improving control efficiency, achieving faster vibration reduction, and enhancing the vibration reduction effect.

[0050] In some embodiments, the target operating parameter is the shutdown time. When the shutdown time is H1, the target speed corresponding to shutdown time H1 is matched from a preset speed database as W1. When the shutdown time is H2, the target speed corresponding to shutdown time H2 is matched from the preset speed database as W2. When the shutdown time is H3, the target speed corresponding to shutdown time H3 is matched from the preset speed database as W3. By pre-storing the correspondence between shutdown time and target speed in the speed database, the target speed can be quickly determined, thereby improving control efficiency, achieving faster vibration reduction, and enhancing the vibration reduction effect.

[0051] In some embodiments, upon receiving a start-up command, the air conditioner controls the compressor to start, at which point the compressor is in the "on" state. While the compressor is in the "on" state, the compressor's start-up time is acquired and determined as the target operating parameter. A target speed corresponding to the start-up time is matched from a preset speed database, and the vibration damping device is controlled to rotate at the target speed. Thus, during the compressor's start-up process, the vibration damping device's speed can be interlocked and changed in real-time according to the different start-up times, adapting to compressor vibration at different times during start-up, thereby accurately reducing compressor vibration at different times during start-up.

[0052] After the compressor has been running for more than 3 minutes, it enters the running state. While the compressor is running, its operating frequency is acquired and set as the target operating parameter. A target speed corresponding to the operating frequency is matched from a preset speed database, and the vibration damping device is controlled to rotate at the target speed. In this way, during compressor operation, the speed of the vibration damping device can be interlocked and changed in real time according to different operating frequencies, adapting to compressor vibrations at different operating frequencies and thus accurately reducing compressor vibrations at various operating frequencies.

[0053] Upon receiving a shutdown command, the air conditioner controls the compressor to turn off, at which point the compressor is in a shutdown state. While the compressor is in a shutdown state, the compressor's shutdown time is obtained and set as the target operating parameter. A target speed corresponding to the shutdown time is matched from a preset speed database, and the vibration damping device is controlled to rotate at the target speed. In this way, during the compressor shutdown process, the vibration damping device's speed can be interlocked and changed in real time according to the different shutdown times, adapting to compressor vibration at different moments during shutdown, thus accurately reducing compressor vibration at different times during shutdown. By controlling the vibration damping device's speed differently based on different target operating parameters under different compressor states, vibration can be reduced under various compressor operating scenarios, directly achieving vibration reduction at its source, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, upon receiving a shutdown command, the air conditioner controls the compressor to shut down, and the compressor's operating frequency gradually decreases to 0.

[0055] Optionally, after the air conditioner controls the speed of the vibration damping device according to the target operating parameters of the compressor, it also includes: the air conditioner monitoring the operating frequency of the compressor, and controlling the vibration damping device to stop operating when the operating frequency of the compressor is 0.

[0056] Combination Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure provides an apparatus 500 for controlling an air conditioner, including a processor 504 and a memory 501. Optionally, the apparatus may further include a communication interface 502 and a bus 503. The processor 504, communication interface 502, and memory 501 can communicate with each other via the bus 503. The communication interface 502 can be used for information transmission. The processor 504 can call logical instructions in the memory 501 to execute the method for controlling the air conditioner described in the above embodiment.

[0057] The device for controlling an air conditioner provided in this disclosure acquires the compressor status and determines the target operating parameters of the compressor based on the compressor status. The rotational speed of the vibration damping device is then controlled according to the target operating parameters of the compressor. Thus, by directly installing the vibration damping device at the bottom of the compressor, the device is used for controlled rotation to reduce vibrations generated during compressor operation. By controlling the rotational speed of the vibration damping device differently based on different target operating parameters under different compressor states, vibration reduction is achieved directly at the source of vibration, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect.

[0058] Furthermore, the logic instructions in the aforementioned memory 501 can be implemented as software functional units and, when sold or used as independent products, can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium.

[0059] The memory 501, as a computer-readable storage medium, can be used to store software programs and computer-executable programs, such as program instructions / modules corresponding to the methods in the embodiments of this disclosure. The processor 504 executes functional applications and data processing by running the program instructions / modules stored in the memory 501, that is, it implements the method for controlling the air conditioner in the above embodiments.

[0060] The memory 501 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system and applications required for at least one function; the data storage area may store data created based on the use of the terminal device. Furthermore, the memory 501 may include high-speed random access memory and may also include non-volatile memory.

[0061] Combination Figure 6 As shown, this disclosure provides an air conditioner, including an air conditioner body 600 and the aforementioned device 500 for controlling the air conditioner. A vibration damping device is provided at the bottom of the air conditioner compressor, which is used for controlled rotation to reduce vibrations generated during compressor operation.

[0062] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment acquires the compressor status and determines the target operating parameters of the compressor based on that status. The rotational speed of the vibration damping device is then controlled according to these target operating parameters. By directly installing the vibration damping device at the bottom of the compressor, the device rotates in a controlled manner to reduce vibrations generated during compressor operation. By controlling the rotational speed of the vibration damping device differently based on the different target operating parameters under different compressor statuses, vibration reduction is achieved directly at the source of vibration, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect.
