[0002] With the popularization of air conditioning products, people have higher and higher requirements for the comfort of air conditioning products, and air conditioning condensation has become one of the problems that people focus on and the product needs to solve.

[0003] Air conditioning condensation is caused by hot air encountering a low-temperature object (such as cold wind) and the temperature of the low-temperature object being lower than the dew point temperature of the hot air, so that the water vapor in the hot air is condensed to produce condensation water. When the condensation water cannot be smoothly guided to the water pan, it will drip in the machine body and flow out from the air outlet or other parts of the panel. The hazards of condensation are mainly as follows: 1. The condensation produced by the air conditioner will cause the internal part of the unit to be damp for a long time, which is easy to cause the indoor mold to be seriously out of standard, endangering people's health. 2. Condensation water accumulated in the air conditioner for a long time may seep into the electrical box, corrode the components or cause short circuit, which may affect the use of the user, reduce the service life of the air conditioner components, or even cause safety hazards. 3. In terms of economy, the condensation will cause a large loss of cold energy of the entire system, increasing the operation cost. Therefore, condensation is one of the key problems that need to be solved in improving the comfort of air conditioning and ensuring electrical safety.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, an anti-condensation control method of an air conditioner running on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device is provided. 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 a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0033] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the anti-condensation control method of the air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 2 , the method includes the following steps:

[0034] In step S201, the operation mode of the air conditioner is adjusted to the refrigeration operation mode, and after the target time period in the refrigeration operation mode, a plurality of pipe temperatures are obtained, the pipe temperature being the temperature of the refrigerant in the finned tube of the indoor heat exchanger;

[0035] Specifically, the air conditioner in the present application can be a variable frequency heat pump, a multi-split air conditioner, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, etc.

[0036] Wherein, after the target time period in the refrigeration operation mode, the obtained multiple tube temperatures are more accurate, and can more accurately reflect whether the condensation phenomenon occurs; that is, the tube temperature obtained as soon as the refrigeration operation mode is entered is not stable, which is not conducive to subsequent judgment.

[0037] Specifically, the target time period is a time period starting from the time when the air conditioner starts to enter the refrigeration operation mode and ending at the time when the air conditioner is in stable operation, and the stable operation of the air conditioner indicates that the fluctuation of the operating frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner within a preset time is less than a preset fluctuation. In an ideal case, the compressor frequency f1 corresponding to the reading time t1, and the compressor frequency f2 corresponding to the time t1+T (the time interval T is determined according to the frequency increasing rate of the unit, generally 5min-10min). When f1=f2, it indicates that the unit is in a stable state, and F=f1=f2. If f1≠f2, it indicates that the unit has not yet stabilized.

[0038] Figure 3 A structure schematic diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application is shown as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner comprises an outdoor temperature sensing bag 1, a gas-liquid separator 2, an outdoor heat exchanger 3, an indoor heat exchanger 4, a liquid accumulator 5, a compressor 6, an electronic expansion valve 7, an indoor temperature sensing bag 8, a four-way reversing valve 9, a temperature controller 10, a unit control unit 11, a communication line 12, a compressor preset alarm oil level 13, and a condensation prompt alarm 14. The specific connection mode is shown as follows: Figure 3 As described above, the tube temperature is the temperature of the refrigerant in the finned tube of the indoor heat exchanger 4.

[0039] In step S202, the maximum tube temperature and the minimum tube temperature in the multiple tube temperatures are obtained, and a first difference value of the maximum tube temperature and the minimum tube temperature is obtained.

[0040] Wherein, the number of tube temperatures can be set according to the specific structure of the air conditioner, for example, a large air conditioner is provided with more tube temperatures, and a small air conditioner is provided with fewer tube temperatures.

[0041] In step S203, in the case where the first difference value is greater than a preset difference value, a condensation alarm information is generated, and the condensation alarm information is used to indicate whether there is a refrigeration pipeline blockage, and to dredge in the case of blockage to prevent condensation.

[0042] Wherein, the detection of whether there is a refrigeration pipeline blockage can be automatic detection or notification of maintenance personnel for detection.

[0043] Wherein, the generation of condensation is mostly due to the uneven distribution of refrigerant flow in the evaporator flow path, resulting in the formation of high-temperature air dew point temperature greater than low-temperature air after the air passing through the evaporator to reduce the humidity and then blowing out of the evaporator. When the high and low temperature air is mixed in the air duct, secondary condensation is formed, which is blown out at the air outlet. That is, in the case where the maximum and minimum values of the temperature in the tube exceed the preset difference, condensation is easily generated due to uneven evaporator flow path.

[0044] The anti-condensation control method of the air conditioner of the present application adjusts the operating mode of the air conditioner to the refrigeration operating mode, and obtains a plurality of tube temperatures after the target time period of the refrigeration operating mode. The maximum tube temperature and the minimum tube temperature in the plurality of tube temperatures are obtained, and the first difference between the maximum tube temperature and the minimum tube temperature is obtained. In the case where the first difference is greater than the preset difference, a condensation alarm information is generated, which is used to indicate whether there is a refrigeration pipeline blockage, and in the case of blockage, the blockage is dredged to prevent condensation. That is, the risk of condensation is determined according to the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the plurality of tube temperatures, and in the case of the risk of condensation, the refrigeration pipeline is detected in time to prevent condensation due to the blockage of the refrigeration pipeline.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the first difference between the maximum tube temperature and the minimum tube temperature, the method further comprises:

[0046] In the case where the first difference is less than or equal to the preset difference, the real-time operating frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner is obtained.

[0047] The frequency interval in which the real-time operating frequency of the compressor is determined, and the superheat corresponding to the frequency interval is determined to prevent condensation.

[0048] Wherein, as the frequency increases during the operation of the unit, the pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the indoor is low, the evaporation temperature continues to decrease, and the outlet temperature also decreases, which is more prone to condensation phenomenon. In order to prevent the condensation of the unit, the superheat should be lower as the frequency increases, so the method sets different superheats for different frequency intervals to achieve step-by-step adjustment of the superheat.

[0049] That is, in the case where the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the plurality of tube temperatures is small, different superheats are set for different frequency intervals to achieve step-by-step adjustment of the superheat. It is suitable for: as the frequency increases during the operation of the unit, the pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the indoor is low, the evaporation temperature continues to decrease, and the outlet temperature also decreases, which is more prone to condensation phenomenon. That is, the mechanism of this step-by-step adjustment in the present application ingeniously solves this defect.

[0050] More specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the superheat corresponding to the frequency interval is determined, comprising:

[0051] obtaining a temperature average of the temperatures in the plurality of tubes and a suction temperature of the air conditioner;

[0052] obtaining a second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average;

[0053] In this way, the temperature average of the temperatures in the plurality of tubes is obtained, so that the accidental error of the temperature in the tube is reduced, and the accuracy of the temperature in the tube is improved.

[0054] The suction temperature of the air conditioner refers to the temperature of the refrigerant entering the suction port of the compressor.

[0055] According to the frequency interval and the size of the second difference, a corresponding superheat degree is determined.

[0056] That is, the superheat degree corresponding to the frequency interval is not only related to the size of the frequency of the frequency interval itself, but also related to the size of the difference between the temperature average and the suction temperature of the air conditioner. In this way of determining the superheat degree, the frequency interval, the temperature average, and the suction temperature are comprehensively considered, so that the control accuracy is higher.

[0057] In the embodiment of the application, according to the frequency interval and the size of the second difference, a corresponding superheat degree is determined, including:

[0058] According to the frequency interval, a preset upper limit value and a preset lower limit value are determined.

[0059] That is, different preset upper limit values and preset lower limit values are set for different frequency intervals to realize hierarchical adjustment. For example, the frequency interval is divided into a low frequency interval, a medium frequency interval, and a high frequency interval, and then different preset upper limit values and preset lower limit values are set for the three frequency intervals. Of course, the low frequency interval, the medium frequency interval, and the high frequency interval are only exemplary, and the frequency interval can also be divided into other forms.

[0060] In the case where the second difference is greater than the preset upper limit value, the opening degree of the expansion valve is increased to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve to a first preset opening degree.

[0061] That is, in the case where the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average is large, the opening degree of the expansion valve needs to be increased to reduce the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average, so that the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average satisfies greater than or equal to the preset lower limit value and less than or equal to the preset upper limit value when the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted to the first preset opening degree.

[0062] In the case where the second difference is less than the preset lower limit value, the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve to a second preset opening degree, and the first preset opening degree and the second preset opening degree corresponding to different frequency intervals are also different.

[0063] that is, in the case that the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value is small, the opening degree of the expansion valve needs to be reduced to increase the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value, so as to achieve that the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value satisfies greater than or equal to the preset lower limit value and less than or equal to the preset upper limit value when the opening degree of the expansion valve is adjusted to the first preset opening degree;

[0064] in the case that the second difference is greater than or equal to the preset lower limit value and less than or equal to the preset upper limit value, the opening degree of the expansion valve is maintained unchanged;

[0065] wherein the size relationship between the second preset opening degree and the first preset opening degree is not limited, since the initial opening degree may be different, the initial opening degree is affected by multiple factors such as water inlet temperature, outdoor environment temperature, frequency, etc.

[0066] that is, in the case that the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value is in the middle, the opening degree of the expansion valve is maintained unchanged.

[0067] wherein the opening degree of the expansion valve directly affects the superheat degree.

[0068] As set above, according to the size relationship between the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value and the preset upper limit value and the preset lower limit value, different opening degrees of the expansion valve are set correspondingly, which ensures the accuracy of the anti-condensation adjustment.

[0069] In the embodiment of the application, the corresponding superheat degree is determined according to the frequency interval and the size of the second difference, comprising:

[0070] in the case that the frequency interval is the preset high frequency interval and the second difference is in the preset difference range, it is determined whether the oil level of the compressor is higher than the warning oil level;

[0071] the preset difference range is specifically: a range greater than or equal to the preset lower limit value and less than or equal to the preset upper limit value;

[0072] in the case that the oil level of the compressor is higher than the warning oil level, the opening degree of the expansion valve is maintained unchanged;

[0073] in the case that the oil level of the compressor is not higher than the warning oil level, the opening degree of the expansion valve is reduced to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve to a third preset opening degree; wherein the opening degree of the expansion valve directly affects the superheat degree.

[0074] That is, at high frequency, the superheat degree is low, and the compressor may have the risk of suction liquid, the application sets the warning oil level of the compressor at high frequency to ensure the safe operation of the compressor.

[0075] Further, after the opening degree of the expansion valve is maintained unchanged, the method further comprises:

[0076] The real-time running frequency of the compressor is obtained, and after obtaining the real-time running frequency of the compressor, the temperatures in the plurality of tubes and the suction temperature are obtained again. After obtaining the temperatures in the plurality of tubes and the suction temperature again, subsequent anti-condensation control is performed.

[0077] In order for those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solutions of the present application, the implementation process of the anti-condensation control method of the air conditioner of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0078] The present embodiment relates to a specific anti-condensation control method for an air conditioner, as shown in Figure 4 , comprising:

[0079] Before the unit is shipped, the relationship between the compressor frequency, the superheat degree and whether the unit will produce condensation water is tested. According to the data obtained by the test, the compressor frequency is divided into three levels of low frequency, medium frequency and high frequency, the superheat degree under the condition of not producing condensation water is determined for each level, and it is built into the chip (equivalent to CPU) of the unit.

[0080] When the unit is turned on, the cooling mode is set, the compressor frequency f1 corresponding to the time t1 is read, and the compressor frequency f2 corresponding to the time t1+T (the time interval T is determined according to the frequency increasing rate of the unit, generally 5min-10min). When f1=f2, it indicates that the unit is in a stable state, and F=f1=f2 is set. If f1≠f2, it indicates that the unit has not stabilized, and the cycle of reading the time t1 is returned.

[0081] When the unit is running stably, the values of the temperatures in the tubes T u1 , T u2 , …, T un and the suction temperature T 吸 are read. The maximum value is selected from the temperatures in the tubes T u1 , T u2 , …, T un as T umax , the minimum value is selected as T umin , and the relationship T umax -T umin ≤d is verified. If the relationship is not established, a condensation alarm is prompted, and the maintenance personnel needs to check whether there is a blockage in the flow path in time. If the relationship is established, the next step is entered, the average value of all the temperatures in the tubes is taken, and T Uavg =(T u1+ T u2+ …+T un ) / n is set.

[0082] If the frequency F is in the low frequency range, i.e. 0≤F<F1, it is judged whether T 吸 -TUavg If the relationship is not established, the opening degree a of the electronic expansion valve is slowly increased, and the opening degree K of the electronic expansion valve at this time is defined i , and the program of reading the temperature in the pipe and the temperature of the suction gas is returned to.

[0083] If T 吸 -T Uavg , the next logical judgment is entered, that is, whether the relationship T 吸 -T Uavg is established. If the relationship is not established, the opening degree a of the electronic expansion valve is slowly decreased, and the opening degree K of the electronic expansion valve at this time is defined i , and the program of reading the temperature in the pipe and the temperature of the suction gas is returned to.

[0084] If T 吸 -T Uavg , the opening degree K of the electronic expansion valve at this time is read i , and the unit is stably operated at this opening degree. In the process of stably operating the unit, the frequency F of the compressor is read, and the cycle of reading the temperature in the pipe and the temperature of the suction gas is returned to.

[0085] If the frequency F is not in the low frequency interval, it is judged that the relationship 0≤F<F1 is not established, and the next logical judgment is entered, that is, whether the relationship F1≤F<F2 is established. If the relationship is established, it indicates that the frequency of the compressor is in the medium frequency interval. When the frequency of the compressor is in the medium frequency interval, the next logical judgment is entered, that is, whether the relationship T 吸 -T Uavg is established. If the relationship is not established, the opening degree a of the electronic expansion valve is slowly increased, and the opening degree K of the electronic expansion valve at this time is defined i , and the program of reading the temperature in the pipe and the temperature of the suction gas is returned to.

[0086] If T 吸 -T Uavg , the next logical judgment is entered, that is, whether the relationship T 吸 -T Uavg is established.

[0100] The anti-condensation control device of the air conditioner of the present application adjusts the operation mode of the air conditioner to the refrigeration operation mode through the processing unit, and obtains a plurality of pipe temperatures after the air conditioner operates in the refrigeration operation mode for a target time period; the first obtaining unit obtains the maximum pipe temperature and the minimum pipe temperature among the plurality of pipe temperatures, and obtains a first difference between the maximum pipe temperature and the minimum pipe temperature; the anti-condensation unit generates a condensation warning information in the case that the first difference is greater than a preset difference, and the condensation warning information is used to indicate whether there is a refrigeration pipeline blockage, and the anti-condensation is performed by dredging in the case of blockage. That is, the risk of condensation is determined according to the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the plurality of pipe temperatures, and the refrigeration pipeline is detected in a timely manner in the case of the risk of condensation to prevent condensation caused by the blockage of the refrigeration pipeline.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the device further comprises a second obtaining unit and a determining unit, the second obtaining unit is configured to obtain the real-time operation frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner in the case that the first difference between the maximum pipe temperature and the minimum pipe temperature is less than or equal to the preset difference after obtaining the first difference; and the determining unit is configured to determine the frequency interval in which the real-time operation frequency of the compressor is located, and determine the superheat degree corresponding to the frequency interval to perform anti-condensation. That is, in the case that the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the plurality of pipe temperatures is small, different superheat degrees are set for different frequency intervals to realize the hierarchical adjustment of the superheat degree. It is suitable for: as the frequency increases during the operation of the unit, the pressure of the refrigerant flowing through the indoor is low, the evaporation temperature continues to decrease, and the outlet temperature also decreases, which is more prone to condensation phenomenon. That is, the hierarchical adjustment mechanism in the present application ingeniously solves this defect.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the determining unit comprises a first obtaining module, a second obtaining module and a determining module, the first obtaining module is configured to obtain the temperature average of the plurality of pipe temperatures and the suction temperature of the air conditioner; the second obtaining module is configured to obtain the size of the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average; and the determining module is configured to determine the corresponding superheat degree according to the frequency interval and the size of the second difference. That is, the superheat degree corresponding to the frequency interval is not only related to the size of the frequency of the frequency interval itself, but also related to the size of the difference between the temperature average and the suction temperature of the air conditioner. This way of determining the superheat degree considers the frequency interval, the temperature average and the suction temperature comprehensively, so that the control precision is high.

[0103] In the embodiments of the present application, the determining module comprises a first determining submodule, a first adjusting submodule, a second adjusting submodule and a third adjusting submodule.

That is, the opening degree of the expansion valve needs to be decreased when the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value is small. That is, the opening degree of the expansion valve can be maintained unchanged when the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value is moderate. According to the size relationship between the second difference between the suction temperature of the air conditioner and the temperature average value and the preset upper limit value and the preset lower limit value, different opening degrees of the expansion valve are set to ensure the accuracy of the anti-condensation adjustment.

The fifth adjusting submodule is configured to decrease the opening degree of the expansion valve to adjust the opening degree of the expansion valve to a third preset opening degree when the oil level of the compressor is not higher than the warning oil level. The opening degree of the expansion valve directly affects the superheat. That is, the superheat is low when the frequency is high, and the compressor may have the risk of suction liquid.
