[0065] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0066] Figure 1A flowchart of a control method of a first device provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. 1, and the method specifically includes the following steps. Figure 1

[0067] S11, receiving a compressor control signal sent by a temperature controller of the device and receiving a fan state signal sent by an indoor unit of the device.

[0068] The control method of the device provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner device, and specifically controls the compressor by receiving the fan state signal output by the indoor unit and the compressor control signal sent by the temperature controller.

[0069] In this embodiment, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner device includes a compressor, the indoor unit of the air conditioner device includes a fan, the temperature controller is connected with the outdoor unit and the indoor unit, the indoor unit is connected with the outdoor unit, the temperature controller can generate a compressor control signal for starting the compressor, and the temperature controller will generate a high-level compressor control signal when the compressor needs to be started after the unit is started. The indoor unit can generate a fan state signal for representing the state of the indoor fan (for example, the fan is in a starting state or a stopping state), and the indoor unit will generate a high-level fan state signal when the fan is normally started.

[0070] Specifically, when the user starts the unit by a switch key on the temperature controller, the temperature controller main chip detects the signal of the key and sends a high-level compressor control signal, and the outdoor unit detects the corresponding level change of the compressor control signal. When the indoor unit and the fan start to operate, the indoor unit sends a high-level fan state signal, and the outdoor unit detects the corresponding level change of the fan state signal.

[0071] S12, generating a first switch signal according to the compressor control signal.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first signal is a compressor switch signal A for controlling the starting or stopping of the compressor, the outdoor unit generates a high-level first switch signal when it receives a high-level compressor control signal sent by the temperature controller, and the outdoor unit generates a low-level first switch signal when it receives a low-level compressor control signal sent by the temperature controller.

[0073] S13, generating a second switch signal according to the fan state signal.

[0074] In this embodiment, the second signal is a compressor switch signal B for controlling the starting or stopping of the compressor in combination with the first switch signal, the outdoor unit generates a high-level second switch signal when it receives a high-level fan state signal sent by the indoor unit, and the outdoor unit generates a low-level second switch signal when it receives a low-level fan state signal sent by the indoor unit.

[0075] ​S14, controlling the compressor in the outdoor unit according to the first switch signal and the second switch signal.

[0076] In the embodiment, the outdoor unit controls the compressor to start in combination with the first switch signal and the second switch signal. When the first switch signal and the second switch signal are both high, the compressor is controlled to start. When the first switch signal is high, it indicates that the unit is started. After receiving the high first switch signal triggered by the temperature controller, the compressor is controlled to start normally. At this time, the second switch signal in the preset time is monitored. When the second switch signal changes from low to high in the preset time, the compressor is kept on. When the second switch signal is always low in the preset time, it indicates that the fan has not worked normally, and the compressor is controlled to stop or the unit is controlled to stop.

[0077] The control method of the device provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: receiving a compressor control signal sent by a temperature controller of the device and receiving a fan state signal sent by an indoor unit of the device; generating a first switch signal according to the compressor control signal; generating a second switch signal according to the fan state signal; and controlling a compressor in an outdoor unit according to the first switch signal and the second switch signal. Thus, a set of output signals can be added to the indoor unit and sent to the outdoor unit. The signals are indoor fan state signals, indicating the start or non-start state of the fan. The compressor in the outdoor unit is no longer controlled by the compressor control signal sent by the temperature controller alone, but also needs to be controlled in combination with the state signal of the fan in the indoor unit, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the compressor in the outdoor unit is still running when the fan in the indoor unit is abnormally faulty.

[0078] Figure 2 The flowchart of the second control method of the device provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 2, and the method specifically comprises the following steps. Figure 2

[0079] S21, receiving a compressor control signal sent by a temperature controller of the device and receiving a fan state signal sent by an indoor unit of the device.

[0080] In the embodiment, the temperature controller comprises a relay RLY1 and a relay RLY3. The relay RLY1 is used to generate a compressor control signal and send the compressor control signal to an optocoupler OP1 in the outdoor unit. The relay RLY3 is used to generate a fan control signal and send the fan control signal to an optocoupler OP3 in the indoor unit. The fan control signal is used to control the fan in the indoor unit to start or stop. The indoor unit comprises a relay RLY2, which is used to generate a fan state signal and send the fan state signal to an optocoupler OP2 in the outdoor unit.

[0081] ​Specifically, when the compressor control signal sent by the temperature controller is high level "1", the relay RLY1 is turned on, after the relay RLY1 is turned on, the outdoor unit receiving circuit receives the compressor control signal, and the optocoupler OP1 is turned on. When the compressor control signal sent by the temperature controller is low level "0", the relay RLY1 is turned off, after the relay RLY1 is turned off, the optocoupler OP1 in the outdoor unit receiving circuit is turned off.

[0082] When the fan state signal sent by the indoor unit is high level "1", the relay RLY2 is turned on, after the relay RLY2 is turned on, the outdoor unit receiving circuit receives the fan state signal, and the optocoupler OP2 is turned on. When the fan state signal sent by the indoor unit is low level "0", the relay RLY2 is turned off, after the relay RLY2 is turned off, the optocoupler OP2 in the outdoor unit receiving circuit is turned off.

[0083] S22, when it is detected that the compressor control signal is high level, the first optocoupler in the outdoor unit is controlled to be turned on; the first switch signal corresponding to the compressor is generated through the first optocoupler, and the first switch signal is high level.

[0084] In the embodiment, the first optocoupler is OP1, after the outdoor unit receives the high level compressor control signal, the first optocoupler is turned on, at this time, the high level compressor switch signal A is generated as the first switch signal, and the high level can control the compressor to be turned on.

[0085] In a possible implementation, when it is detected that the compressor control signal is low level, the first optocoupler in the outdoor unit is controlled to be turned off; the first switch signal corresponding to the compressor is generated through the first optocoupler, and the first switch signal is low level.

[0086] S23, when it is detected that the fan state signal is high level, the second optocoupler in the outdoor unit is controlled to be turned on; the second switch signal corresponding to the compressor is generated through the second optocoupler, and the second switch signal is high level.

[0087] In the embodiment, the first optocoupler is OP2, after the outdoor unit receives the high level fan state signal, the second optocoupler is turned on, at this time, the high level compressor switch signal B is generated as the second switch signal, and the high level can control the compressor to be turned on.

[0088] In a possible implementation, when it is detected that the fan state signal is low level, the second optocoupler in the outdoor unit is controlled to be turned off; the second switch signal corresponding to the compressor is generated through the second optocoupler, and the second switch signal is low level.

[0089] S24, when the first switch signal is high, the compressor is controlled to start; when the first duration of the second switch signal remaining low is greater than the first threshold, the compressor is controlled to stop; when the second duration of the compressor stopping is equal to the second threshold, the compressor is controlled to start, and the step of judging whether the first duration is greater than the first threshold is executed; when the number of times of detecting that the first duration is greater than the first threshold reaches the third threshold, the outdoor unit is controlled to stop working and an alarm event occurs.

[0090] In the embodiment, generally, the equipment unit is in the shutdown state, and the fan and the compressor are both closed. By the switch button on the temperature controller, the unit is started, and the temperature controller sends the high-level compressor control signal to the indoor unit to inform the indoor unit to start the compressor. After the outdoor unit receives the compressor control signal, the optocoupler OP1 is turned on to generate the high-level first switch signal, and the compressor is immediately started. The temperature controller simultaneously sends the high-level fan control signal to the indoor unit to inform the indoor unit to start the fan. After the indoor unit receives the fan control signal, the optocoupler OP3 is turned on, and the indoor unit generates the high-level fan switch signal to start the fan. At this time, the fan is started under the self-working logic of the fan, and if the fan is normally started, the indoor unit generates the high-level fan state signal to the outdoor unit to control the optocoupler OP2 to be turned on.

[0091] Further, after the first switch signal is high to control the compressor to start, the state of the second switch signal is detected. If the current second switch signal is high, the compressor of the outdoor unit is normally operated, and the indoor and outdoor units are in the normal working state.

[0092] The outdoor unit continues to detect the first switch signal and the second switch signal in real time. Since the equipment unit may have the cold wind prevention requirement during operation, in this case, the compressor of the outdoor unit is started first, and the fan of the indoor unit is started later. Therefore, when the second switch signal is detected to be low, it is indicated that the current fan is not started, the first duration t of the low level is recorded, and whether t exceeds the first threshold T1 is judged. If t does not exceed T1, the compressor is controlled to continue to operate, and the first switch signal and the second switch signal are continuously detected. When the first switch signal is high, the second switch signal is low, and the duration t of the low level exceeds T1, the first time that the indoor fan is not started due to timeout is recorded, the compressor of the outdoor unit is immediately controlled to stop, the compressor is started again when the second duration T2 of the compressor stopping reaches the second threshold, and the detection is continuously performed. If t still exceeds T1, the second time that the indoor fan is not started due to timeout is recorded, the compressor is stopped again, the compressor is started again after T2, and the detection is continuously performed. When the number of times that the indoor fan is not started due to timeout continuously reaches the third threshold (three times), the outdoor unit can determine that the fan is faulty or the fan state signal interface sent by the indoor unit to the outdoor unit is faulty, the outdoor unit reports the fault and stops.

[0093] In a possible implementation, when the number of times that the first time length is greater than the first threshold value is less than the third threshold value, and the first switch signal and the second switch signal are both high, the compressor is controlled to operate normally, and the number of times is cleared.

[0094] Specifically, if the number of times that the indoor fan continuously fails to start for a timeout is less than the third threshold value, the second switch signal changes from low to high, i.e., the fan is in a normal operating state, the compressor remains in the normal operating state, and the count of the fan failing to start for a timeout is cleared.

[0095] In a possible implementation, when the first switch signal is low, the second switch signal is high, and the compressor is in an on state, a third time length for which the compressor is on is obtained; and when the third time length is greater than a fourth threshold value, the compressor is controlled to be off.

[0096] Specifically, if the first switch signal is low and the second switch signal is high after a period of operation, it is first determined whether a third time length for which the compressor has been on satisfies a minimum operating time length fourth threshold value, if yes, the compressor is immediately turned off, and if no, the compressor continues to operate until the third time length is greater than the fourth threshold value, to ensure the reliability of the compressor. When the first switch signal and the second switch signal are both low, the compressor is turned off according to a shutdown process.

[0097] In a possible implementation, when the indoor temperature collected by the temperature controller reaches a set temperature, or the user turns off the air conditioner through the temperature controller, the temperature controller outputs a low-level fan control signal and a low-level compressor control signal, and the indoor unit and the outdoor unit control the fan and the compressor to be turned off according to their own logic after receiving the low-level control signals of the temperature controller.

[0098] The control method of the device provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps: receiving a compressor control signal sent by a temperature controller of the device and receiving a fan state signal sent by an indoor unit of the device; when it is detected that the compressor control signal is high, controlling a first optocoupler in an outdoor unit to be turned on; generating a first switch signal corresponding to the compressor through the first optocoupler; when it is detected that the fan state signal is high, controlling a second optocoupler in the outdoor unit to be turned on; generating a second switch signal corresponding to the compressor through the second optocoupler, and the second switch signal is high; when the first switch signal is high, controlling the compressor to be turned on; when a first time length during which the second switch signal remains low is greater than a first threshold value, controlling the compressor to be turned off; when a second time length during which the compressor is turned off is equal to a second threshold value, controlling the compressor to be turned on, and performing the step of judging whether the first time length is greater than the first threshold value; when it is detected that the number of times that the first time length is greater than the first threshold value reaches a third threshold value, controlling the outdoor unit to stop working and an alarm event to occur. Thus, the compressor can be turned off when the indoor fan fails, and the phenomenon of overloading of the compressor without being turned off can be prevented when the indoor fan stops working abnormally without communication.

[0099] Figure 3 The third control method of the device is provided in the embodiment of the present application, and a flowchart of the third control method of the device is shown in FIG. 3. Figure 3 The third control method of the device comprises the following steps:

[0100] S31, when a high-level fan control signal output by a temperature controller of the device is received, controlling a fan of the indoor unit to be turned on according to the fan control signal, and generating a high-level fan state signal.

[0101] In the embodiment, the indoor unit is applied to an air conditioner device, the indoor unit is connected with a temperature controller and an outdoor unit respectively, and when the device is running, a relay in the temperature controller generates a fan control signal for controlling the fan of the indoor unit to be turned on or turned off. When the indoor unit receives the high-level fan control signal, an optocoupler of the indoor unit is turned on to generate a high-level fan switch signal, and the fan is controlled to be turned on according to the fan switch signal. When the fan is normally running, a high-level fan state signal is generated according to a relay of the indoor unit.

[0102] S32, sending the fan state signal to the outdoor unit of the device, so as to control a second optocoupler in the outdoor unit to generate a second switch signal corresponding to a compressor of the outdoor unit according to the fan state signal, and controlling the compressor according to the second switch signal.

[0103] In the embodiment, the relay of the indoor unit is connected with the second optocoupler in the outdoor unit, the second optocoupler is controlled to be turned on according to the fan state signal, and a second switch signal is generated. The compressor is controlled according to the second switch signal and the first switch signal. The generation method of the first switch signal and the control method of the compressor are similar to those described in the first control method of the device, and the specific content is referred to in the first control method of the device. Figure 2 ​Figure 2 For brevity, the description is not repeated here.

[0104] S33, when detecting that the fan does not run normally within the fourth time length, controlling the fan to be closed; generating a low level fan state signal, and sending the fan state signal to the outdoor unit of the device; after a fifth time length, controlling the fan to be opened, and performing the step of detecting whether the fan runs normally within the fourth time length; when the number of times of detecting that the fan does not run normally within the fourth time length is greater than a fifth threshold value, controlling the indoor unit to stop working.

[0105] In the embodiment, the indoor unit and the fan running state are detected, when the fan stops running or the running state is abnormal due to a fault, the fourth time length of not running normally is recorded, when the fourth time length is greater than a set threshold value, the fan is controlled to be closed, and a low level fan state signal is generated and sent to the outdoor unit, the fan is controlled to be opened after a preset fifth time length, and whether the fan runs normally is continuously detected, when the number of times of detecting that the fan does not run normally within the fourth time length is greater than a preset fifth threshold value (three times), the indoor unit is controlled to stop working and the device is controlled to generate an alarm event, the alarm mode can be an audible and light alarm or sending alarm information to a user smart terminal. When the device recovers normally within the fourth time length, the count is cleared and detection is performed again.

[0106] Figure 4 A flowchart of a fourth device control method provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in FIG. 4, and the method specifically includes the following steps. Figure 4

[0107] Step one: the unit is opened, and the temperature controller outputs a high level fan control signal and a high level compressor control signal to open the indoor unit and the outdoor unit respectively.

[0108] Step two: after the indoor unit and the outdoor unit receive the high level control signals, the outdoor unit compressor switch signal A (the first switch signal) is high level, and the indoor unit fan switch signal is high level, at this time, the outdoor unit immediately opens the compressor, and the indoor unit opens the fan according to its own working logic.

[0109] Step three: the outdoor unit compressor runs normally, the outdoor unit detects the states of the outdoor unit compressor switch signal A and the compressor switch signal B (the second switch signal), if the outdoor unit compressor switch signal A is high level and the compressor switch signal B is low level, the duration t of the low level compressor switch signal B is recorded, and step four is entered. If the outdoor unit compressor switch signal A is high level and the outdoor unit compressor switch signal B is high level, step six is entered. If the compressor switch signal A is low level, step seven is entered.

[0110] ​Step four: judge the duration of the compressor switch signal B as low level, if the duration of the compressor switch signal B as low level t < T1, the compressor keeps normal operation, the outdoor unit continues to detect the compressor switch signal A and the compressor switch signal B. If the outdoor unit detects the compressor switch signal A as low level within T1, it enters step seven. Or, if it detects the compressor switch signal A and the compressor switch signal B as high level, it enters step six. If the compressor switch signal A is high level and the compressor switch signal B is low level, and the duration of the low level t ≥ T1, it records the number of times of the indoor fan timeout without starting, and immediately turns off the compressor. At this time, if the number of times of the fan timeout without starting is < 3, it enters step five, if the number of times of the fan timeout without starting is ≥ 3, it enters step nine.

[0111] Step five: the outdoor unit turns off the compressor, after T2 time, the outdoor unit starts the compressor again, and continues to detect the compressor switch signal A and the compressor switch signal B. If the compressor switch signal A is high level and the compressor switch signal B is low level, it returns to step four. If the compressor switch signal A is high level and the compressor switch signal B is high level, it clears the number of times of the fan timeout without starting, and enters step six. If the compressor switch signal A is low level, it enters step seven.

[0112] Step six: the fan and the compressor have been normally started, the indoor and outdoor units are in normal working state, the outdoor unit continues to detect the compressor switch signal A and the compressor switch signal B. During the normal operation of the indoor and outdoor units, if the compressor switch signal A is detected as low level, it enters step seven. If the compressor switch signal A is detected as high level and the compressor switch signal B is low level, it returns to step four.

[0113] Step seven: the compressor switch signal A is low level, indicating that the temperature controller sends a low level compressor control signal, if the compressor switch signal B is low level at this time, the compressor is immediately turned off. If the compressor switch signal B is high level at this time, it enters step eight.

[0114] Step eight: judge whether the running time of the compressor meets the minimum running time, if yes, the compressor is immediately turned off, if not, the compressor continues to keep normal operation, and enters step three.

[0115] Step nine: the outdoor unit reports a fault and stops.

[0116] Figure 5 The fifth kind of device control method provided for the embodiment of the application is shown in the flowchart as shown in Figure 5 The method specifically includes:

[0117] In this embodiment, when the unit is turned on and the indoor unit is powered on, the fan status signal defaults to a high level, indicating that the fan is currently in a normal state. The thermostat outputs a high-level fan control signal and a high-level compressor control signal to the indoor and outdoor units, respectively. The outdoor unit's compressor on / off signal is high, and the compressor immediately turns on. When the indoor unit's fan on / off signal is high, the fan outputs a fan PWM control signal based on its own operating logic to turn on the fan. If the indoor unit detects that the fan has not started normally within time T1 after outputting the fan PWM control signal, or if the fan fails midway after starting and does not resume normal operation within T1, the indoor unit stops outputting the PWM signal, outputs a low-level fan status signal, and records the number of fan failures (X = 1). Relay RLY2 disconnects, and the outdoor unit's compressor on / off signal turns low. After time T2, the indoor unit again outputs the fan PWM control signal and a high-level fan status signal. At this point, the outdoor unit's compressor on / off signal returns to a high level. If the fan still fails to start normally within time T1, the indoor unit will stop outputting PWM signals again, output a low-level fan status signal, and record the number of fan failures plus one. The outdoor unit's compressor on / off signal will again become low-level. This cycle repeats. If the fan failure X=3 is recorded three times in a row, the indoor unit will report a fault code and shut down. Relay RLY2 will be disconnected, the outdoor unit's compressor on / off signal will be low-level, and the outdoor unit will shut down the compressor. If the fan successfully starts normally within three cycles, the above-mentioned fan timeout failure count will be cleared, and the indoor and outdoor units will return to normal working conditions, avoiding the problem of the compressor continuing to run when the indoor fan fails.

[0118] Figure 6 A flow chart of a control method for a sixth device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the method specifically includes:

[0119] In normal operation of the unit, when the outdoor compressor switch signal changes from high level to low level, the outdoor unit records the number of times X = 1 that the compressor switch signal changes from high level to low level, and simultaneously judges whether the low level duration exceeds T2. If it exceeds T2, it indicates that the indoor temperature has reached the set temperature point collected by the temperature controller, and the unit needs to be shut down. After receiving the shutdown instruction, the outdoor unit needs to judge whether the compressor meets the minimum running time T3 requirement. If it meets the requirement, the compressor is immediately shut down. If it does not meet the requirement, the compressor continues to run until it meets the minimum running time requirement before being turned off, ensuring the reliability of the compressor. If the low level duration does not exceed T2 and then changes to high level again, if the high level duration exceeds T1, the compressor continues to operate normally, the X value is cleared, and the outdoor unit continues to detect the compressor switch signal. If the high level duration does not exceed T1 and changes to low level again, the number of times X that the compressor switch signal changes from high level to low level is recorded, and if X is greater than or equal to 3 after X is incremented by 1, it indicates that the indoor fan may have a fault, and the compressor is immediately turned off. If X is less than 3 after X is incremented by 1, it returns to the judgment of whether the low level duration of the compressor switch signal exceeds T2.
