Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computer room air conditioners, and in particular, to a computer room air conditioner control method, a computer room air conditioner control device, a computer readable storage medium, and a computer room air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] A computer room air conditioner (i.e., a computer room precision air conditioner) usually uses an electrode humidifier for humidification. The principle of humidification by the electrode humidifier is as follows: an electrode sheet is inserted into a humidification barrel of the electrode humidifier containing tap water, and an electric current is generated after being powered on, so as to heat the tap water in the humidification barrel to generate steam, thereby realizing humidification of a predetermined area (an area where the computer room air conditioner is installed).

[0003] However, in actual application, since the mineral ions dissolved in the tap water cannot be evaporated, and as the water in the humidification barrel gradually increases, the ion concentration in the humidification barrel becomes higher and higher, causing the water conductivity to become high, the humidification efficiency to decrease, and the electrode to be prone to scaling. In the face of the above problems, it is usually necessary to empty the water and impurities in the humidification barrel and re-fill water, so as to maintain the water conductivity in the humidification barrel within a certain range, thereby ensuring the humidification effect and the service life of the humidification barrel.

[0004] In the prior art, the above problems are usually solved by using a timed drainage and timed cleaning method. For example, the electrode humidifier is opened for 20 seconds (i.e., a drainage time) after running for 1 hour to drain the electrode humidifier; and the drainage valve and the water inlet valve are opened simultaneously for 60 seconds (i.e., a drainage interval) after the electrode humidifier runs for 12 hours to clean the humidification barrel.

[0005] For the above solution, it is usually necessary to manually adjust the drainage time and the drainage interval according to the water quality and / or the running condition of the humidification barrel. This not only relies on human experience, but also easily leads to poor real-time performance and flexibility of the drainage time and the drainage interval, thereby affecting the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier.

If the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel corresponding to the evaporation stage of the current humidifying cycle is not within the predetermined rate range, it indicates that the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel corresponding to the evaporation stage of the current humidifying cycle is high, and the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel needs to be reduced by draining and rewatering, so that the conductivity of the water in the humidifying barrel is maintained within a certain range, thereby automatically determining whether the humidifying barrel needs to be drained.

[0033] This embodiment provides a control method for a computer room air conditioner that runs on a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Also, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0034] Figure 2This is a flowchart of a control method for a computer room air conditioner according to an embodiment of this application. The computer room air conditioner includes an electrode humidifier, which includes a humidification tank, a water inlet valve, and a drain valve, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0035] Step S201: Based on the relationship between the current change rate and the current change rate threshold of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle, determine whether the ion concentration change rate of the humidification tank in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within a predetermined change rate range.

[0036] In practical applications, a humidification cycle begins when the electrode humidifier's inlet valve opens and water begins to flow in, continuing until the inlet valve closes and water flow stops. Then, the water begins to boil, entering the evaporation stage, until the current value of the electrode humidifier is less than or equal to 0.95I. set In other words, the evaporation phase of a humidification cycle is the period from when the inlet valve is closed to when the inlet valve opens for the next humidification cycle. Wherein, I... set This is the humidification current setpoint. In practical applications, the corresponding humidification current setpoint I can be calculated based on the humidification capacity of the electrode humidifier. set。 In other words, different humidification capacities of the electrode humidifier correspond to different humidification current settings I. set This allows the humidification current to be controlled within the set value I. set This allows the electrode humidifier to achieve the set humidification level.

[0037] Additionally, when humidification begins for the first time, the number of humidification cycles is n=1. The water inlet valve of the electrode humidifier opens, and water begins to enter the humidification tank. As the water level in the humidification tank gradually rises, the current value of the electrode humidifier gradually increases. When the current value I of the electrode humidifier ≥ 1.1I... set Close the water inlet valve and start boiling water. The boiling water produces steam for humidification. As the steam evaporates, the water level in the humidification tank gradually decreases, and the current value of the electrode humidifier also decreases. When the current value I of the electrode humidifier is ≤ 0.95I... set Then, open the water inlet valve again to replenish water. At this point, the humidification cycle count n = n + 1. This cycle continues, continuously generating water vapor for humidification. The humidification current is controlled within the set value I. set At this time, the electrode humidifier generates the set humidification amount.

[0038] In step S201, this application does not limit the current change rate threshold and the size of the predetermined change rate range, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual application.

[0039] Step S202, in the case that the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is not within the predetermined change rate range, determining the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle based on the relationship between the humidification operation time change rate of the electrode humidifier and the time change rate range, the humidification operation time change rate P(m+1) being the humidification operation time t humid (m+1) and the humidification operation time t humid (m) of the previous humidification cycle, i.e. P(m+1) = t humid (m+1) / t humid (m); wherein m+1 is the total number of drainages up to the current humidification cycle, and m is the total number of drainages up to the previous humidification cycle.

[0040] In the step S202, if the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is not within the predetermined change rate range, it indicates that the current ion concentration of the humidifying barrel is high, and it is necessary to stop humidification and to remove part of the water in the humidifying barrel to reduce the current ion concentration of the humidifying barrel.

[0041] In the step S202, the size of the time change rate range is not limited in the present application, and can be flexibly adjusted according to actual application conditions.

[0042] Step S203, opening the drainage valve and controlling the electrode humidifier to drain until the target drainage time is reached.

[0043] The control method of the machine room air conditioner determines whether the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel corresponding to the evaporation stage of the current humidifying cycle is within a predetermined variation rate range based on the relationship between the current variation rate of the evaporation stage of the current humidifying cycle and the current variation rate threshold. If the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel corresponding to the evaporation stage of the current humidifying cycle is not within the predetermined variation rate range, it indicates that the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel corresponding to the evaporation stage of the current humidifying cycle is high, and the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel needs to be reduced by draining and rewatering, so that the conductivity of the water in the humidifying barrel is maintained within a certain range, thereby automatically determining whether the humidifying barrel needs to be drained. Then, based on the relationship between the humidifying operation time variation rate of the electrode humidifier and the time variation rate range, the target drainage time of the humidifying barrel in the current humidifying cycle is determined, so that the target drainage time is determined more flexibly and in real time, and the determined target drainage time is more reasonable. Finally, the electrode humidifier is controlled to drain until the target drainage time is reached, thereby automatically draining the electrode humidifier without relying on manual experience and manual drainage, thereby solving the problems of poor real-time performance and flexibility of the drainage interval of the humidifying barrel in the prior art.

[0044] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described herein can be executed in an order different from that shown herein.

[0045] In order to further accurately and reasonably determine the target drainage time, in the specific implementation process, the step S202 can be implemented by steps S2021, S2022 and S2023. Wherein,

[0046] Step S2021, in the case where the humidifying operation time variation rate is within the time variation rate range, that is, 1+ΔP≤P(m+1)≤1+ΔP, the drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the last humidifying cycle is determined as the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidifying cycle, that is, t drain (m+1)=t drain (m), that is, t drain (m) is assigned to t drain (m+1). Wherein, P(m+1) is the humidifying operation time variation rate corresponding to the current humidifying cycle, t drain (m+1) is the target drainage time, t drain (m) is the drainage time of the last humidifying cycle, m+1 is the total number of drainages until the current humidifying cycle, and m is the total number of drainages until the last humidifying cycle;

[0047] Step S2022, in the case that the humidification operation time change rate is greater than the upper limit value of the time change rate range, i.e. P(m+1)>1+ΔP, the sum of the drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the last humidification cycle and the drainage time adjustment value is determined as the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, i.e. t drain (m+1)=t drain (m)+Δt, that is, t drain (m+1) is assigned the value of t drain (m)+Δt. drain

[0048] Step S2023, in the case that the humidification operation time change rate is less than the lower limit value of the time change rate range, i.e. P(m+1)<1-ΔP, the sum of the drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the last humidification cycle and the drainage time adjustment value is determined as the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, i.e. t drain (m+1)=t drain (m)-Δt, that is, t drain (m+1) is assigned the value of t drain (m)-Δt. Wherein, the upper limit value of the time change rate range is the sum of 1 and the time change rate adjustment value ΔP, and the lower limit value of the time change rate range is the difference between 1 and the time change rate adjustment value ΔP.

[0049] In actual application, the longer the humidification operation time of the electrode humidifier, the better the humidification effect. However, this will cause the ion concentration in the humidification barrel to be relatively large. The present application calculates K(n) in real time, and in the case that the current change rate exceeds the threshold K0, it is determined that the ion concentration change rate in the humidification barrel is not within the predetermined range, and the humidification barrel is drained, so as to control the ion concentration within a certain range. However, the longer the drainage time of the electrode humidifier, the more new water is supplemented, which can effectively reduce the ion concentration in the humidification barrel. If the humidification pause time of the electrode humidifier is relatively long, the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier will be reduced. Therefore, in the embodiment, the drainage time of the current humidification cycle is dynamically adjusted according to the humidification operation time, which can also balance the relationship between the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier and the service life of the humidification barrel.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the drainage time t0 at the first humidification and first drainage can be set to 20 seconds. When the drainage time reaches 20 seconds, the drainage valve can be closed and the water inlet valve can be opened, the current cycle humidification frequency n=n+1, and the humidification operation time t humid (1) is recorded. The target drainage time of the current humidification cycle can be determined based on the scheme of the present application subsequently.​

[0051] In the step S2022, in the case that the humidification operation time change rate is greater than the upper limit value of the time change rate range, i.e. P(m+1)>1+ΔP, it indicates that the humidification operation time of the electrode humidifier is changed longer, and then the drainage time can be appropriately reduced, so that the time for the electrode humidifier to stop humidification is shorter, and the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier is further improved.

[0052] In the step S2023, in the case that the humidification operation time change rate is less than the lower limit value of the time change rate range, i.e. P(m+1)<1+ΔP, it indicates that the humidification operation time of the electrode humidifier is changed shorter, and then the drainage time can be appropriately increased, so that the water with high ion concentration in the humidification barrel is more discharged, thereby ensuring that the ion concentration in the humidification barrel after subsequent water replenishment is lower, and further ensuring that the ion concentration in the humidification barrel after water replenishment can be maintained within a certain range, and the conductivity of the water can be maintained within a certain range.

[0053] In actual application, the size of the time change rate adjustment value ΔP and the drainage time adjustment value Δt is not limited in the present application. That is, the time change rate adjustment value ΔP and the drainage time adjustment value Δt can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions. In a specific embodiment, the drainage time adjustment value Δt can be 5 seconds. The value range of the time change rate adjustment value ΔP can be 0.1-0.5. Specifically, the time change rate adjustment value ΔP can be 0.2.

[0054] In addition, the drainage time t drain (m+1) and t drain (m) in the present application can be 10-60 seconds. That is, the minimum value of the drainage time t drain (m+1) and t drain (m) in the present application can be 10 seconds, and the maximum value of the drainage time t drain (m+1) and t drain (m) in the present application can be 60 seconds. When the drainage time reaches the maximum value, it is no longer increased, and when the drainage time reaches the minimum value, it is no longer reduced.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, in the step S2022, in the case that the humidification operation time change rate is greater than the upper limit value of the time change rate range, i.e. P(m+1)>1+ΔP, the size of the drainage time adjustment value Δt can also be determined according to the size of the difference between P(m+1) and 1+ΔP. In this way, the drainage time adjustment value Δt is further determined more finely, and the target drainage time is further ensured to be more accurate.

[0056] In another specific embodiment, in the step S2023, in the case that the humidification operation time variation rate is less than the lower limit value of the time variation rate range, i.e. P(m+1) < 1+ΔP, the size of the drainage time adjustment value Δt can also be determined according to the size of the difference between P(m+1) and 1-ΔP. In this way, the drainage time adjustment value Δt is further determined more finely, and the target drainage time is further ensured to be determined more accurately.

[0057] The step S201 of the present application can be implemented by a step S2011, a step S2012 and a step S2013. In which,

[0058] In the step S2011, the current decrease speed v(n) of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is determined. i (n) and the initial current decrease speed v(1), to determine the current variation rate K(n) of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, i.e. K(n)=v i (n) / v(1). The initial current decrease speed v(1) is the current decrease speed of the electrode humidifier at the first time of water filling. i i i (n) and the initial current decrease speed v(1), to determine the current variation rate K(n) of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, i.e. K(n)=v i (n) / v(1). The initial current decrease speed v(1) is the current decrease speed of the electrode humidifier at the first time of water filling.

[0059] In the step S2012, in the case that the current variation rate of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is greater than the current variation rate threshold value, i.e. K(n)>K0, it is determined that the ion concentration variation rate of the humidification barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is not within the predetermined variation rate range.

[0060] In the step S2013, in the case that the current variation rate of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to the current variation rate threshold value, i.e. K(n)≤K0, it is determined that the ion concentration variation rate of the humidification barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined variation rate range.

[0061] In the above embodiment, by comparing the size relationship between the current variation rate of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle and the current variation rate threshold value, it is determined whether the ion concentration variation rate of the humidification barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined variation rate range, so that it is achieved that whether the ion concentration variation rate of the humidification barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined variation rate range is determined more simply.

[0062] In one embodiment, the current variation rate threshold value K0 can have a value range of 1.5-5.0. Specifically, the current variation rate threshold value K0 can have a value of 2.0.

[0063] In the step S2012, in the case that the current rate of change of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is greater than the current rate of change threshold, i.e. K(n) > K0, it indicates that the ion concentration in the humidification tank in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is increased, and the ion concentration rate of change exceeds the predetermined rate of change range, so it is necessary to reduce the ion concentration in the humidification tank by the way of re-watering through drainage.

[0064] In the step S2013, in the case that the current rate of change of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to the current rate of change threshold, i.e. K(n) ≤ K0, it indicates that the ion concentration rate of change in the humidification tank in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined rate of change range, so the humidification can be continued.

[0065] In order to more simply determine the current rate of change of the current humidification cycle in the evaporation stage, in some embodiments, as shown in the step S2011, the process of determining the current rate of change of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle includes: Figure 3

[0066] obtaining the current current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, and determining whether the current current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to the first predetermined current value Idown1, i.e. whether i(t) ≤ Idown1 exists;

[0067] In the case that the current current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to the first predetermined current value Idown1, i.e. i(t) ≤ Idown1, the current current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is determined as the first current calculation value Idown3, i.e. Idown3 = i(t), that is, the current current value i(t) of the current humidification cycle is assigned to Idown3, and the current value of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time (i.e. 1s) is continued to be obtained;

[0068] Based on the first current calculation value Idown3 and the current value of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time (i.e. 1s), the current rate of change v i (n) of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage is determined, where n is the total number of humidification cycles up to the current humidification cycle.

[0069] In an embodiment, as shown in the step S2011, the process of determining the current rate of change of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle includes: Figure 3 ​As shown, based on the first current calculation value Idown3 and the current value of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time (i.e. 1 second), the current drop speed v of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage is determined i (n), comprising:

[0070] It is determined whether the current value i(t+1) of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time is less than or equal to a second predetermined current value Idown2, i.e. whether i(t+1)≤Idown2 exists;

[0071] In the case where the current value i(t+1) of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time is less than or equal to the second predetermined current value Idown2, i.e. i(t+1)≤Idown2, the current value of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time is determined as a second current calculation value Idown4, i.e. Idown4=i(t+1), that is, the current value i(t+1) at t+1 is assigned to Idown4;

[0072] The difference between the first current calculation value Idown3 and the second current calculation value Idown4 is determined to obtain a target difference, and the ratio of the target difference to the predetermined time (i.e. 1 second) is determined as the current drop speed v of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle i (n).

[0073] That is, in the embodiment, the current drop speed v i (n) is determined by fixing the predetermined time, i.e. obtaining the current current value of the electrode humidifier before the predetermined time and obtaining the current current value of the electrode humidifier after the predetermined time. Since the predetermined time is fixed, the current drop speed v i (n) can be further determined more simply, and a more complex algorithm is not required.

[0074] In a specific embodiment, Idown1 is 1.05I set ; Idown2 is 0.95I set .

[0075] In addition, in the embodiment, in the case where i(t)≤Idown1, the current value i(t+1) of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time is started to be obtained; when the predetermined time (i.e. 1 second) is reached and i(t+1)≤Idown2, the current drop speed v i(n). When Idown2 is 0.95Iset, it indicates that the humidifying barrel needs to start water replenishment at this time. The current drop speed v is determined at this stage i (n), so as to ensure the determined current drop speed v i (n) is more accurate.

[0076] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the current drop speed v i (n) can also be determined by the following steps: respectively acquiring the time t1 when the current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier is Idown1, and the time t2 when the current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier is Idown2; and then determining the current drop speed v i (n) = (Idown2-Idown1) / (t2-t1) through v i (n). That is, the current drop speed v i (n) can also be determined by fixing Idown1 and Idown2.

[0077] In the specific implementation process, the control method of the present application further includes steps S204 and S205. Among them,

[0078] Step S204, opening the water inlet valve to replenish water to the humidifying barrel until the current value of the electrode humidifier is greater than or equal to the third predetermined current value 1.1Iset;

[0079] Step S205, increasing the number of humidification cycles of the electrode humidifier by 1, and opening the water inlet valve of the electrode humidifier until the next opening of the water inlet valve is one humidification cycle.

[0080] In the embodiment, in the case where it is determined that the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined change rate range, it indicates that the humidification can continue. After it is determined that the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined change rate range, if the current current value of the humidifying barrel is less than 0.95I set , the water inlet valve can be opened to replenish water to the electrode humidifier, so that the electrode humidifier can realize continuous humidification, and further ensure that the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier is better.

[0081] In an embodiment, the control method of the present application further includes steps S206 and S207. Among them,

[0082] Step S206, determining the total number of continuous water discharges of the electrode humidifier;

[0083] Step S207, in the case that the total number of continuous drainage of the electrode humidifier reaches the maximum drainage number, simultaneously open the drainage valve and the water inlet valve until the predetermined drainage interval T is reached wash .

[0084] In the embodiment, in the case that the total number of continuous drainage of the electrode humidifier reaches the maximum drainage number, it indicates that the drainage cannot effectively reduce the ion concentration in the humidifying barrel, so it is necessary to empty the humidifying barrel after the drainage, that is, simultaneously open the drainage valve and the water inlet valve to empty the humidifying barrel.

[0085] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the total number of continuous drainage of the electrode humidifier M can be 2-6. Of course, the total number of continuous drainage of the electrode humidifier M is not limited to 2-6, but can be flexibly adjusted according to water quality and / or actual conditions.

[0086] In another specific embodiment, the predetermined drainage interval T wash can be 20-60 seconds. Of course, the predetermined drainage interval T wash is not limited to 20-60 seconds, but can be flexibly adjusted according to water quality and / or actual conditions.

[0087] In a specific embodiment of the present application, after opening the drainage valve and the water inlet valve to empty the humidifying barrel, the humidification can be restarted, that is, the water inlet is restarted, so that the humidification cycle is restarted.

[0088] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solutions of the present application, the implementation process of the control method of the machine room air conditioner will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0089] The present embodiment relates to a specific control method of a machine room air conditioner, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , comprising the following steps:

[0090] Step S1: when the humidification is first started, the current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier is obtained, and t=0. When the current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier decreases to Idown1(1.05Iset), that is, i(t)≤Idown1, the first current calculation value Idown3=i(t). At the same time, t=0 is started.

[0091] Step S2: when the current value i(t+1) of the electrode humidifier after 1 second decreases to Idown2(0.95Iset), that is, i(t+1)≤Idown2, the second current calculation value Idown4=i(t+1) is obtained, and the current drop time is 1 second. Then the evaporation stage current drop speed vi = (Idown3 - Idown4) / 1.

[0092] Step S3: Based on K(n) = v i (n) / v i (1), determine the current rate of change of current K(n) of the evaporation phase of the current humidification cycle.

[0093] Step S4: When K(n) ≤ K0, it indicates that the rate of change of ion concentration of the evaporation phase of the current humidification cycle corresponding to the humidification barrel is within the predetermined range. Therefore, the humidification can be continued. And the water inlet valve can also be opened for water replenishment, so that the electrode humidifier can continue to humidify.

[0094] When K(n) > K0, it indicates that the rate of change of ion concentration of the evaporation phase of the current humidification cycle corresponding to the humidification barrel is not within the predetermined range. Then, part of the water in the humidification barrel needs to be drained and the humidification needs to be stopped, so as to reduce the ion concentration in the humidification barrel by draining and replenishing new water. Record the humidification running time t humid (1) after the first time the humidification is turned on.

[0095] The first drainage is performed according to the initial value of the drainage time t0 = 20 seconds, and the drainage valve is closed when the drainage time t0 is reached. Restart the humidification, open the water inlet valve, and the cycle number n = n + 1. Recalculate the humidification current change rate K(n) according to the process.

[0096] The K0 = 2.0, and its range can be 1.5-5.0.

[0097] Step S5: Based on P(m+1) = t humid (m+1) / t humid (m), determine the humidification running time change rate of the electrode humidifier. Wherein, m is the number of drainage, t humid (m) is the humidification running time before the mth drainage, t humid (m+1) is the humidification running time before the m+1th drainage.

[0098] Step S6: When 1-ΔP ≤ P(m+1) ≤ 1+ΔP, then t drain (m+1) = t drain (m), wherein t drain (m+1) is the target drainage time, t drain (m) is the drainage time of the last humidification cycle.

[0099] When P(m+1) > 1+ΔP, then t drain (m+1) = t drain (m)-△t.

[0100] When P(m+1) < 1-ΔP, then t drain (m+1) = t drain (m) +△t.

[0101] The ΔP = 0.2, and the value range thereof can be 0.1-0.5. The △t = 5 seconds, and the drainage time t drain The setting range is Tmin-Tmax, the minimum value Tmin = 10 seconds, and the maximum value Tmax = 60 seconds. The drainage time reaches the maximum value and no longer increases, and reaches the minimum value and no longer decreases.

[0102] Step S7: In the case where the total number of continuous drainages of the electrode humidifier reaches the maximum drainage number, it is indicated that the drainage cannot effectively reduce the ion concentration in the humidifying barrel, and then the humidifying barrel is emptied after the drainage ends. That is, the water inlet valve and the drainage valve are opened at the same time until the predetermined drainage interval is reached, that is, the humidifying barrel is emptied to remove the water and impurities in the barrel.

[0103] The predetermined drainage interval T wash The value range of the electrode humidifier can be 2-6.

[0104] Step S8: After the emptying ends, the water is recharged to start a new humidification cycle.

[0105] The embodiment of the application also provides a control device of a computer room air conditioner. It should be noted that the control device of the computer room air conditioner of the embodiment of the application can be used to execute the control method for the computer room air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the application. The device is used to realize the embodiment and the preferred embodiment, and will not be described here. As used below, the term "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that realizes a predetermined function. Although the device described in the following embodiment is preferably realized in software, the realization of hardware or a combination of software and hardware is also possible and is conceived.

[0106] The control device of the computer room air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the application is introduced below.

[0107] Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of the control device of the computer room air conditioner according to the embodiment of the application. The computer room air conditioner includes an electrode humidifier, and the electrode humidifier includes a humidifying barrel, a water inlet valve, and a drainage valve. As Figure 5 indicated, the control device includes:

[0108] A first determination unit 10 is configured to determine whether the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within a predetermined change rate range based on the size relationship between the current change rate of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle and the current change rate threshold.

[0109] In practical applications, a humidification cycle begins when the electrode humidifier's inlet valve opens and water begins to flow in, continuing until the inlet valve closes and water flow stops. Then, the water begins to boil, entering the evaporation stage, until the current value of the electrode humidifier is less than or equal to 0.95I. set In other words, the evaporation phase of a humidification cycle is the period from when the inlet valve is closed to when the inlet valve opens for the next humidification cycle. Wherein, I... set This is the humidification current setpoint. In practical applications, the corresponding humidification current setpoint I can be calculated based on the humidification capacity of the electrode humidifier. set。 In other words, different humidification capacities of the electrode humidifier correspond to different humidification current settings I. set This allows the humidification current to be controlled within the set value I. set This allows the electrode humidifier to achieve the set humidification level.

[0110] Additionally, when humidification begins for the first time, the number of humidification cycles is n=1. The water inlet valve of the electrode humidifier opens, and water begins to enter the humidification tank. As the water level in the humidification tank gradually rises, the current value of the electrode humidifier gradually increases. When the current value I of the electrode humidifier ≥ 1.1I... set Close the water inlet valve and start boiling water. The boiling water produces steam for humidification. As the steam evaporates, the water level in the humidification tank gradually decreases, and the current value of the electrode humidifier also decreases. When the current value I of the electrode humidifier is ≤ 0.95I... set Then, open the water inlet valve again to replenish water. At this point, the humidification cycle count n = n + 1. This cycle continues, continuously generating water vapor for humidification. The humidification current is controlled within the set value I. set At this time, the electrode humidifier generates the set humidification amount.

[0111] In the first determining unit, this application does not limit the current change rate threshold and the size of the predetermined change rate range, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual application.

[0112] The second determining unit 20 is configured to, when determining that the rate of change of ion concentration in the evaporation phase of the humidification tank in the current humidification cycle is not within the predetermined rate of change range, determine the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle based on the relationship between the rate of change of humidification operating time and the range of time change rate. The rate of change of humidification operating time P(m+1) is the humidification operating time t of the electrode humidifier before drainage in the current humidification cycle. humid (m+1) is the humidification running time t before the drainage of the previous humidification cycle.humid The ratio of (m) to t, i.e., P(m+1) = t humid (m+1) / t humid (m); where m+1 is the total number of drainages up to the current humidification cycle, and m is the total number of drainages up to the previous humidification cycle;

[0113] In the second determining unit, if the rate of change of ion concentration in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is not within the predetermined rate of change range, it indicates that the current ion concentration in the humidification tank is high, and humidification needs to be stopped. By removing some of the water in the humidification tank, the current ion concentration in the humidification tank can be reduced.

[0114] In the second determining unit, this application does not limit the size of the time change rate range, and it can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual application situation.

[0115] Control unit 30 is used to open the drain valve and control the electrode humidifier to drain water until the target drainage time is reached.

[0116] In the control device of the computer room air conditioner, the first determining unit is used to determine whether the ion concentration of the humidifying tank corresponding to the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within a predetermined rate of change range based on the relationship between the rate of change of current and the current rate of change threshold of the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle. The second determining unit is used to determine whether the ion concentration of the humidifying tank corresponding to the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is high if the ion concentration of the humidifying tank is not within the predetermined rate of change range. It is necessary to reduce the ion concentration of the humidifying tank by draining and refilling water, so that the conductivity of the water in the humidifying tank is maintained within a certain range. This realizes the automatic determination of whether the humidifying tank needs to be drained. Then, based on the relationship between the rate of change of humidification operation time of the electrode humidifier and the time rate of change range, the target drainage time of the humidifying tank in the current humidification cycle is determined. This realizes a more flexible and real-time determination of the target drainage time, ensuring that the determined target drainage time is more reasonable. The control unit is used to control the electrode humidifier to drain water until the target drainage time is reached, thereby realizing automatic drainage of the electrode humidifier without relying on human experience or manual drainage. This solves the problem of poor real-time performance and flexibility in setting the drainage interval of the humidifier tank in the prior art.

[0117] To further determine the target drainage time more accurately and reasonably, in the specific implementation process, the second determining unit includes a first determining module, a second determining module, and a third determining module. Specifically, the first determining module is used to determine the drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the previous humidification cycle as the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, i.e., t, when the rate of change of the humidification operating time is within the range of the rate of change of time, i.e., 1+ΔP≤P(m+1)≤1+ΔP. drain (m+1)=t drain (m), that is, t drain (m) is assigned to t drain (m+1). Where P(m+1) is the rate of change of humidification operation time corresponding to the current humidification cycle, t drain (m+1) represents the target drainage time, t drain (m) represents the drainage time of the previous humidification cycle, m+1 represents the total number of drainages up to the current humidification cycle, and m represents the total number of drainages up to the previous humidification cycle; the second determining module is used to determine the drainage time t of the electrode humidifier in the previous humidification cycle when the rate of change of the humidification operation time is greater than the upper limit of the range of the rate of change of time, i.e., P(m+1)>1+ΔP. drain The difference between (m) and the drainage time adjustment value Δt is determined as the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, i.e., t. drain (m+1)=t drain (m)-Δt, that is, t drain (m)-Δt is assigned to t drain (m+1); The third determining module is used to determine the sum of the drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the previous humidification cycle and the drainage time adjustment value as the target drainage time of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, i.e., t, when the rate of change of the humidification operation time is less than the lower limit of the range of the rate of change of time, i.e., P(m+1)<1+ΔP. drain (m+1)=t drain (m)+Δt, that is, t drain (m)+Δt is assigned to t drain (m+1). Wherein, the upper limit of the time change rate range is the sum of 1 and the time change rate adjustment value ΔP, and the lower limit of the time change rate range is the difference between 1 and the time change rate adjustment value ΔP.

[0118] In actual application, the longer the humidification running time of the electrode humidifier is, the better the humidification effect is. However, this will cause the ion concentration in the humidification barrel to be relatively large. The application calculates K(n) in real time. When the current change rate threshold K0 is exceeded, it is determined that the ion concentration change rate in the humidification barrel is not within the predetermined range, and the humidification barrel is drained, so as to control the ion concentration within a certain range. However, the longer the drainage time of the electrode humidifier is, the more new water is supplemented, which can effectively reduce the ion concentration in the humidification barrel. If the humidification pause time of the electrode humidifier is relatively long, the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier is reduced. Therefore, in the embodiment, the drainage time of the current humidification cycle is dynamically adjusted according to the humidification running time, and the balance between the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier and the service life of the humidification barrel can also be considered.

[0119] In a specific embodiment, the drainage time t0 at the first humidification and the first drainage can be set to 20 seconds. When the drainage time reaches 20 seconds, the drainage valve can be closed and the water inlet valve can be opened, the current humidification cycle number n = n + 1, and the humidification running time t humid (1) can be recorded. Subsequently, the target drainage time of the current humidification cycle can be determined based on the scheme of the application.

[0120] In the second determination module, when the humidification running time change rate is greater than the upper limit value of the time change rate range, that is, P(m+1)>1+ΔP, it indicates that the humidification running time of the electrode humidifier is relatively long, and the drainage time can be appropriately reduced, so that the time for the electrode humidifier to stop humidification is relatively short, and the humidification efficiency of the electrode humidifier is improved.

[0121] In the third determination module, when the humidification running time change rate is less than the lower limit value of the time change rate range, that is, P(m+1)<1+ΔP, it indicates that the humidification running time of the electrode humidifier is relatively short, and the drainage time can be appropriately increased, so that the water with high ion concentration in the humidification barrel is removed more, so as to ensure that the ion concentration in the humidification barrel is relatively low after subsequent water replenishment, and the ion concentration in the humidification barrel after water replenishment can be maintained within a certain range, and the electrical conductivity of the water can be maintained within a certain range.

[0122] In actual application, the application does not limit the size of the time change rate adjustment value ΔP and the drainage time adjustment value Δt. That is, the time change rate adjustment value ΔP and the drainage time adjustment value Δt can be flexibly adjusted according to actual conditions. In a specific embodiment, the drainage time adjustment value Δt can be 5 seconds. The value range of the time change rate adjustment value ΔP can be 0.1-0.5. Specifically, the time change rate adjustment value ΔP can be 0.2.

[0123] In addition, the drainage time t drain (m+1) and t drain (m) in the present application can be 10 seconds to 60 seconds. That is, the minimum value of the drainage time t drain (m+1) and t drain (m) in the present application can be 10 seconds, and the maximum value of the drainage time t drain (m+1) and t drain (m) in the present application can be 60 seconds. When the drainage time reaches the maximum value, it will not be increased, and when the drainage time reaches the minimum value, it will not be decreased.

[0124] In a specific embodiment, in the second determining module, when the humidification operation time change rate is greater than the upper limit value of the time change rate range, that is, P(m+1)>1+ΔP, the size of the drainage time adjustment value Δt can also be determined according to the size of the difference between P(m+1) and 1+ΔP. In this way, the drainage time adjustment value Δt is further determined more finely, and the determination of the target drainage time is further ensured to be more accurate.

[0125] In another specific embodiment, in the third determining module, when the humidification operation time change rate is less than the lower limit value of the time change rate range, that is, P(m+1)<1-ΔP, the size of the drainage time adjustment value Δt can also be determined according to the size of the difference between P(m+1) and 1-ΔP. In this way, the drainage time adjustment value Δt is further determined more finely, and the determination of the target drainage time is further ensured to be more accurate.

[0126] The first determining unit of the present application includes a fourth determining module, a fifth determining module and a sixth determining module. Among them, the fourth determining module is used to determine the current change rate K(n) of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle as the ratio of the current drop speed v i (n) of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle to the initial current drop speed v i (1), that is, K(n)=v i (n) / v i (1), the initial current drop rate v i(1) is the current drop speed of the electrode humidifier at the first time of water filling; the fifth determining module is configured to determine that the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is not within the predetermined change rate range when the electrode humidifier is in the case that the current change rate in the current humidification cycle is greater than the current change rate threshold, i.e. K(n)>K0; and the sixth determining module is configured to determine that the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined change rate range when the electrode humidifier is in the case that the current change rate in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to the current change rate threshold, i.e. K(n)<=K0.

[0127] In the embodiment, by comparing the current change rate of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle with the current change rate threshold, it is determined whether the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined change rate range, so that it is achieved that whether the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined change rate range is determined more simply.

[0128] In an embodiment, the current change rate threshold K0 can have a value range of 1.5-5.0. Specifically, the current change rate threshold K0 can have a value of 2.0.

[0129] In the fifth determining module, when the electrode humidifier is in the case that the current change rate in the current humidification cycle is greater than the current change rate threshold, i.e. K(n)>K0, it indicates that the ion concentration of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is increased, and the ion concentration change rate exceeds the predetermined change rate range, so that the ion concentration in the humidifying barrel needs to be reduced by the way of draining and re-filling.

[0130] In the sixth determining module, when the electrode humidifier is in the case that the current change rate in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to the current change rate threshold, i.e. K(n)<=K0, it indicates that the ion concentration change rate of the humidifying barrel in the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle is within the predetermined change rate range, so that the humidification can be continued.

[0131] In order to more simply determine the current drop speed of the evaporation stage of the current humidification cycle, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the fourth determining module comprises an obtaining sub-module, a first determining sub-module and a second determining sub-module. The obtaining sub-module is configured to obtain the current value i(t) of the current of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle, and determine whether the current value i(t) of the current of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to a first predetermined current value Idown1, i.e. whether i(t)≤Idown1 exists. The first determining sub-module is configured to, in the case that the current value i(t) of the current of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle is less than or equal to the first predetermined current value Idown1, i.e. in the case that i(t)≤Idown1, determine the current value i(t) of the current of the electrode humidifier in the current humidification cycle as a first current calculation value Idown3, i.e. Idown3=i(t), that is, assign the current value i(t) of the current in the current humidification cycle to Idown3, and continue to obtain the current value of the current of the electrode humidifier after a predetermined time (i.e. 1 second). The second determining sub-module is configured to determine the current drop speed v i (n) of the electrode humidifier in the evaporation stage based on the first current calculation value Idown3 and the current value of the current of the electrode humidifier after the predetermined time (i.e. 1 second), wherein n is the total number of humidification cycles up to the current humidification cycle.

[0132] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 the second determining module comprises a third determining sub-module, a fourth determining sub-module and a fifth determining sub-module. The third determining sub-module is configured to determine whether the current value i(t+1) of the current of the electrode humidifier after the predetermined time (i.e. 1 second) is less than or equal to a second predetermined current value Idown2, i.e. whether i(t+1)≤Idown2 exists. The fourth determining sub-module is configured to, in the case that the current value i(t+1) of the current of the electrode humidifier after the predetermined time is less than or equal to the second predetermined current value Idown2, i.e. in the case that i(t+1)≤Idown2, determine the current value after the predetermined time as a second current calculation value Idown4, i.e. Idown4=i(t+1), that is, assign the current value i(t+1) at time t+1 to Idown4.

[0133] That is, in the embodiment, the current drop speed vi (n), i.e. to obtain the current current value of the electrode humidifier before the predetermined time, and to obtain the current current value of the electrode humidifier after the predetermined time. Since the predetermined time is fixed, the current drop speed v i (n) can be further determined more simply without a more complex algorithm.

[0134] In a specific embodiment, Idown1 is 1.05I set ; and Idown2 is 0.95I set .

[0135] In addition, in the embodiment, when i(t)≤Idown1, the current value i(t+1) of the electrode humidifier after the predetermined time is obtained; when the predetermined time (i.e. 1 second) is reached and i(t+1)≤Idown2, the current drop speed v i (n) is determined by the first current calculation value Idown3 and the second current calculation value Idown4. When Idown2 is 0.95Iset, it indicates that the humidifying barrel needs to start to be replenished with water at this time. The current drop speed v i (n) is determined at this stage, so as to ensure that the determined current drop speed v i (n) is more accurate.

[0136] In a specific embodiment of the application, the current drop speed v i (n) can also be determined by the following steps: obtaining the time t1 when the current current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier is Idown1, and obtaining the time t2 when the current current value i(t) of the electrode humidifier is Idown2; and then obtaining the current drop speed v i (n) by v i (n)=(Idown2-Idown1) / (t2-t1). That is, the current drop speed v i (n) can also be determined by fixing Idown1 and Idown2.

[0141] In a specific embodiment of the application, the total number M of continuous water discharges of the electrode humidifier can be 2-6.
