Description

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the continuous improvement of the intelligent level of household appliances, intelligent household appliances are becoming more and more popular.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein, and that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and the like are generally of the same type, and do not limit the number of objects; for example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" in the specification and claims refers to at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects connected are in an "or" relationship.

[0037] The following describes in detail the operating principle of the air conditioner involved in the embodiment of the present application:

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the compressor compresses the refrigerant (coolant) and transports it through a pipeline to the condenser. The high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant releases heat in the condenser, becoming a medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant then passes through a capillary tube (throttling element) to reduce its pressure, turning it into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant is then transported to the evaporator, where it evaporates from liquid to gas, absorbing a significant amount of heat during the evaporation process. Finally, the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator is transported back to the compressor to participate in the next cycle. When the air conditioner is cooling, the outdoor unit's heat exchanger acts as the condenser, and the indoor unit's heat exchanger acts as the evaporator. Conversely, when the air conditioner is heating, the outdoor unit's heat exchanger acts as the evaporator, and the indoor unit's heat exchanger acts as the condenser.

[0039] Based on the above operation principle of the air conditioner, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the moisture in the indoor environment can be condensed on the surface of the heat exchanger and discharged outside through the pipeline, thereby reducing the indoor environment humidity to a certain extent. However, such a dehumidification method can only be performed when the air conditioner is in cooling mode. For the scenario where the indoor environment temperature is low and the humidity is high (for example, in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Chongqing region, the indoor environment humidity in winter can be more than 90%), dehumidification cannot be performed in heating mode.

[0040] To solve the above technical problems in the related art, the embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, as shown in Figure 2 The air conditioner includes a solution dehumidification device arranged at an air inlet of the air conditioner, a first regeneration circulation pipeline, and a second regeneration circulation pipeline. The solution dehumidification device is configured to reduce the humidity of air flowing into the air conditioner. The first regeneration circulation pipeline is configured to regenerate a moisture-absorbing solution in the solution dehumidification device based on heat generated by an indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner. The second regeneration circulation pipeline is configured to regenerate the moisture-absorbing solution based on heat generated by an outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner. In addition, to avoid the dehumidification solution flowing back to the wrong heat exchanger, as shown in Figure 2 The first regeneration circulation pipeline further includes a first one-way valve, and the second regeneration circulation pipeline further includes a second one-way valve.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 The first regeneration circulation pipeline includes a solution circulation pump and a first electromagnetic valve. The second regeneration circulation pipeline includes the solution circulation pump and a second electromagnetic valve. The solution circulation pump is configured to control the flow rate of the moisture-absorbing solution. The first electromagnetic valve is configured to control the opening and closing of the first regeneration circulation pipeline. The second electromagnetic valve is configured to control the opening and closing of the second regeneration circulation pipeline.

[0042] The air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the specific embodiments and application scenarios and the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Based on the air conditioner as shown in Figure 2 , the air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control method provided by the embodiment of the present application can include the following steps 301 to 303, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0044] Step 301: When the air conditioner is in an operating state, the working mode of the air conditioner and the environmental humidity of the current environment are obtained.

[0045] Exemplarily, in the embodiments of the present application, the dehumidification solution can be circulated in different circulation paths according to different working modes of the air conditioner, so as to realize the regeneration and recycling of the dehumidification solution by heating.

[0046] Exemplarily, the working mode of the air conditioner can include any one of the following: heating mode, cooling mode, dehumidification mode. The ambient humidity of the current environment can be detected by the temperature and humidity sensor arranged on the air conditioner.

[0047] Step 302, determining the target regeneration circulation path of the dehumidification solution according to the working mode of the air conditioner, and determining the target flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the target regeneration circulation path according to the ambient humidity of the current environment.

[0048] The target regeneration circulation path is any one of the first regeneration circulation path and the second regeneration circulation path.

[0049] Exemplarily, the dehumidification solution can be any one of calcium chloride solution, lithium chloride solution or lithium bromide solution, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application and belongs to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] It can be understood that, since the dehumidification solution has a significantly reduced water absorption capacity after absorbing water in the air, in order to be able to recycle and absorb water in the indoor environment, it needs to be dried to evaporate the excess water in the dehumidification solution, so that the dehumidification solution can be recycled and reused.

[0051] Specifically, in step 302, determining the target regeneration circulation path of the dehumidification solution according to the working mode of the air conditioner can further include the following step 302a or step 302b:

[0052] Step 302a, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, determining the first regeneration circulation path as the target regeneration circulation path.

[0053] It can be understood that, according to the operating principle of the air conditioner, in the case that the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the refrigerant releases heat in the indoor heat exchanger and absorbs heat in the outdoor heat exchanger, therefore, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, the first regeneration circulation path which passes through the indoor heat exchanger can be determined as the target regeneration circulation path, so that the air conditioner can use the heat generated by the indoor heat exchanger to dry the dehumidification solution.

[0054] Step 302b, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode or the dehumidification mode, determining the second regeneration circulation path as the target regeneration circulation path.

[0055] It can be understood that according to the operation principle of the air conditioner, in the case that the air conditioner is in the cooling mode or the dehumidification mode, the refrigerant releases heat in the outdoor heat exchanger and absorbs heat in the indoor heat exchanger, and therefore, in the case that the working mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode or the dehumidification mode, the second regeneration circulation pipeline through the outdoor heat exchanger in the circulation path can be determined as the target regeneration circulation pipeline, so that the air conditioner can use the heat generated by the outdoor heat exchanger to dry the dehumidification solution.

[0056] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the indoor air can pass through the solution dehumidification device, so that the dehumidification solution is fully contacted with the air and absorbs the moisture in the air. Then, the heat generated by the heat exchanger can be used to dry the dehumidification solution. The technical solution for drying by using heat in the related art is relatively mature, and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0057] Specifically, the step 302 of determining the target flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the target regeneration circulation pipeline according to the environmental humidity of the current environment can include the following steps 302c1 and 302c2:

[0058] Step 302c1, determining the heat exchange efficiency of the target heat exchanger corresponding to the target regeneration circulation pipeline according to the target operating parameter.

[0059] Step 302c2, determining the target flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the target regeneration circulation pipeline according to the environmental humidity of the current environment and the heat exchange efficiency of the target heat exchanger.

[0060] The target operating parameter includes at least one of the following: the difference between the set temperature and the environmental temperature of the current environment, the operating frequency of the compressor, and the fan speed of the target heat exchanger; the target flow rate is negatively correlated with the environmental humidity of the current environment; and the target flow rate is positively correlated with the heat exchange efficiency of the target heat exchanger.

[0061] For example, in the case that the heat exchange efficiency is unchanged, the slower the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the regeneration circulation pipeline, the more heat it absorbs, and the better the drying effect; on the contrary, the faster the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the regeneration circulation pipeline, the less heat it absorbs, and the worse the drying effect.

[0062] For example, since the dehumidification solution is mostly a supersaturated solution, if the moisture evaporates too much, the solute may crystallize, and therefore, the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the regeneration circulation pipeline needs to be determined in combination with the environmental humidity of the current environment and the heat exchange efficiency of the target heat exchanger, so as to avoid that the too fast flow rate affects the dehumidification effect, and at the same time, avoid that the too slow flow rate causes the solute to crystallize.

[0063] Step 303, control the dehumidification solution to circulate in the target regeneration circulation pipeline according to the target flow rate.

[0064] Exemplarily, after determining the target regeneration circulation management and the target flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the target regeneration circulation pipeline, the dehumidification solution can be controlled to circulate in the target regeneration circulation pipeline according to the target flow rate, so as to realize the recycling of the dehumidification solution and enable the air conditioner to continuously perform the dehumidification operation.

[0065] Specifically, based on the structure schematic diagram as shown in the figure, Figure 2 The step 303 can include the following step 303a or step 303b.

[0066] Step 303a, in the case that the target regeneration circulation pipeline is the first regeneration circulation pipeline, control the first electromagnetic valve to open, control the second electromagnetic valve to close, and control the solution circulation pump to rotate at a rotating speed corresponding to the target flow rate.

[0067] Step 303b, in the case that the target regeneration circulation pipeline is the second regeneration circulation pipeline, control the second electromagnetic valve to open, control the first electromagnetic valve to close, and control the solution circulation pump to rotate at a rotating speed corresponding to the target flow rate.

[0068] Exemplarily, by controlling the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, the selection of the regeneration circulation pipeline can be realized; by controlling the rotating speed of the solution circulation pump, the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the regeneration circulation pipeline can be realized.

[0069] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the step 303, it can also be judged whether the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the regeneration circulation pipeline is reasonable according to the change rate of the environmental humidity.

[0070] Exemplarily, after the step 303, the air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control method provided by the embodiment of the present application can further include the following step 304, and any one of the step 305 and the step 306:

[0071] Step 304, detect the change rate of the environmental humidity according to a preset detection period.

[0072] Step 305, in the case that the change rate of the environmental humidity is less than a first preset threshold, reduce the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the target regeneration circulation pipeline.

[0073] Step 306, in the case that the change rate of the environmental humidity is greater than a second preset threshold, increase the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the target regeneration circulation pipeline.

[0074] wherein the first preset threshold is less than the second preset threshold.

[0075] Exemplarily, in a case where the rate of change of the ambient humidity is less than the first preset threshold, it indicates that the current dehumidification efficiency is low, and the concentration of the dehumidification solution can be reduced by reducing the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the regeneration circulation pipeline, so that it can absorb more moisture and speed up the dehumidification efficiency.

[0076] Exemplarily, in a case where the rate of change of the ambient humidity is greater than the second preset threshold, it indicates that the current dehumidification efficiency is high, and the concentration of the dehumidification solution can be increased by increasing the flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the regeneration circulation pipeline, so that its water absorption capacity is reduced, and the rapid change of the ambient humidity is avoided, which causes the user's discomfort.

[0077] It should be noted that the flow rate in the target regeneration circulation pipeline cannot be lower than the minimum allowable flow rate, which can be determined based on the heat exchange efficiency of the target heat exchanger, to avoid the occurrence of solute crystallization caused by too slow flow rate.

[0078] The air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control method provided in the embodiments of the present application, in a case where the air conditioner is in an operating state, acquires the working mode of the air conditioner and the ambient humidity of the current environment; then, according to the working mode of the air conditioner, determines the target regeneration circulation pipeline of the dehumidification solution, and according to the ambient humidity of the current environment, determines the target flow rate of the dehumidification solution in the target regeneration circulation pipeline; finally, controls the dehumidification solution to circulate in the target regeneration circulation pipeline at the target flow rate. In this way, the indoor ambient humidity can be reduced regardless of the working mode of the air conditioner, so as to improve the comfort of the user.

[0079] It should be noted that the air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be an air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control device, or a control module in the air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control device for executing the air conditioner dehumidification solution regeneration control method.
