[0002] Air conditioners often experience condensation issues during use, which can be inconvenient and negatively impact the user experience. The air deflector is the most prone to condensation. Specifically, when the air deflector is positioned in a fixed location, the cold air blows directly onto its surface, causing the surface temperature to drop continuously.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating an anti-condensation method for an air conditioner based on top and bottom air outlets provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method is applicable to air conditioners with top and bottom air outlets. The air conditioner includes an upper air outlet, a lower air outlet, and an air inlet. The upper air outlet and the lower air outlet are respectively provided with an upper fan and a lower fan. The anti-condensation method for the air conditioner specifically includes steps S101 to S104.

[0036] S101. When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, detect the indoor ambient temperature and relative humidity at the air inlet and the air outlet temperature at the top air outlet.

[0037] S102. Calculate the dew point temperature based on the indoor ambient temperature and relative humidity, and compare the outlet air temperature with the dew point temperature.

[0038] S103. If the outlet air temperature is less than or equal to the dew point temperature, the air conditioner's upper fan is adjusted.

[0039] S104. If the outlet air temperature is greater than the dew point temperature, the air conditioner shall continue to operate in its current state.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the air conditioner is turned on in cooling mode, the indoor ambient temperature and relative humidity are detected, as well as the air outlet temperature at the top vent is detected periodically. The indoor dew point temperature is calculated based on the detected indoor ambient temperature and relative humidity. The calculated dew point temperature is then compared with the detected air outlet temperature, and the result is used to determine whether to adjust the upper fan to increase the air outlet temperature. This prevents condensation from forming on the indoor unit and also prevents the potential for condensation buildup on the inner wall of the indoor unit casing. This achieves anti-condensation control of the air conditioner with both upper and lower air outlets, improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0041] In actual application scenarios, a temperature and humidity sensor can be installed at the air inlet and the upper air outlet respectively to detect the indoor environment temperature and relative humidity, the air outlet temperature and the like. The relative humidity refers to the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure in the air to the saturated water vapor pressure at the air temperature, which reflects the degree of air from saturated air. It can also be understood that the indoor temperature and humidity are not stable, but will be affected by the surrounding environment, for example, opening and closing the door will affect the indoor temperature and humidity, and when the indoor temperature and humidity changes, the dew point temperature will also change. Therefore, the embodiment detects in a timed manner to calculate the dew point temperature every certain period of time, and then determines whether the upper sub-machine needs to be adjusted according to the latest dew point temperature.

[0042] In addition, the air conditioner described in the embodiment is an air conditioner with an upper air outlet and a lower air outlet arranged at intervals, and each of the upper and lower air outlets is provided with an axial flow fan for air outlet.

[0043] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The step S101 includes steps S201-S203.

[0044] S201, when the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, detecting the running stage of the cooling mode;

[0045] S202, if the running stage of the cooling mode is a cold wind direct blowing prevention stage, detecting the indoor environment temperature, the relative humidity at the air inlet and the air outlet temperature of the upper air outlet in a timed manner; wherein the cold wind direct blowing prevention stage is that the upper fan rotates normally and the lower fan rotates reversely.

[0046] S203, if the running stage of the cooling mode is other stage, maintaining the other stage to continue running and continuously detecting whether the running stage of the cooling mode is the cold wind direct blowing prevention stage.

[0047] In the embodiment, when the air conditioner runs in a cooling mode, in order to prevent over-cooled wind blowing, the upper fan is set to rotate normally, and the lower fan is set to rotate reversely, that is, the lower fan sucks indoor hot air from the front of the indoor unit, mixes with the cold air that has been heat exchanged in the indoor unit shell, and then blows out through the upper fan, so as to improve the air outlet temperature of the upper air outlet. At this time, due to the continuous suction of indoor high-temperature air by the indoor unit, dew drops will be hung on the inner shell of the air conditioner after a period of time, which will affect the appearance and user experience. Therefore, when it is confirmed that the cooling mode is in the cold wind direct blowing prevention stage, it can be determined whether the upper sub-machine needs to be adjusted by detecting the temperature and humidity data.

[0048] In an embodiment, the step S101 includes:

[0049] The dew point temperature T is calculated according to the following formula 露点 :

[0050] T 露点 = aT 室温 × bT 湿度 ;

[0051] Wherein, a, b are coefficients, T 室温 represents the indoor environment temperature, T 湿度 represents the relative humidity.

[0052] In this embodiment, the dew point temperature is calculated by the above dew point temperature calculation formula, so as to compare the dew point temperature with the temperature of the left and right air deflectors, to determine whether to enter the anti-condensation logic, and whether to enter the first anti-condensation logic or the second anti-condensation logic. Of course, in other embodiments, in addition to calculating the dew point temperature by the indoor temperature data and the outdoor humidity data, the indoor dry bulb temperature and the indoor wet bulb temperature can also be collected, and then the dew point temperature is calculated according to the indoor dry bulb temperature and the indoor wet bulb temperature. The dry bulb temperature is the value read from the dry bulb thermometer exposed to the air and not directly irradiated by the sun, which is the temperature measured by the thermometer in the ordinary air. The wet bulb temperature refers to the temperature reached when a piece of air is humidified to saturation (relative humidity reaches 100%). Or the dew point temperature is directly calculated by the dew point temperature calculator.

[0053] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the anti-condensation method of the air conditioner based on the up and down air outlets further comprises steps S301-S303.

[0054] S301, calculate the first temperature difference between the indoor environment temperature and the air outlet temperature, and determine whether the absolute value of the first temperature difference is higher than a preset temperature value; wherein the preset temperature value is a positive value;

[0055] S302, when it is determined that the absolute value of the first temperature difference is not higher than the preset temperature value, the lower fan corresponding to the lower air outlet is adjusted;

[0056] Specifically, the lower fan is adjusted from the reverse rotation state to the forward rotation state.

[0057] S303, when it is determined that the absolute value of the first temperature difference is higher than the preset temperature value, the dew point temperature is calculated according to the indoor environment temperature and the relative humidity.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner's upper fan rotates forward and the lower fan rotates in reverse, the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the outlet air temperature is first obtained, i.e., the first temperature difference. Then, the absolute value of this difference is compared with a preset temperature value. If the absolute value of the difference is higher than the preset temperature value, in order to avoid condensation, the dew point temperature is calculated, and it is determined whether the upper fan needs to be adjusted based on the dew point temperature to increase the outlet air temperature of the upper fan. If the absolute value of the difference is not higher than the preset temperature value, it indicates that the outlet air temperature of the upper fan is close to the indoor ambient temperature. At this time, there is no situation where excessively cold air is blown in, so the anti-condensation control can be terminated. At the same time, the lower fan is controlled, i.e., the reverse rotation of the lower fan is adjusted to forward rotation. In this way, the upper and lower fans can be used to output air at the same time, restoring the air conditioner's cooling mode to normal, i.e., in all stages except the anti-cold air direct blowing stage. The compressor frequency also gradually increases, thereby enhancing the heat exchange effect and improving the smoothness of the airflow. This makes it less likely for condensation to form on the air outlet grille and air guide plate. It should also be noted that since this embodiment is performed in cooling mode, the detected indoor ambient temperature is usually higher than the outlet air temperature, or in other words, the indoor ambient temperature and the outlet air temperature are almost the same, but there will not be a situation where the indoor ambient temperature is much lower than the outlet air temperature. Therefore, the preset temperature value mentioned in this embodiment can be set to a positive value that is not too high, for example, setting the preset temperature value to 7°C. Then, when the absolute value of the first temperature difference is not higher than 7°C, it means that the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the outlet air temperature is not significant. When the absolute value of the first temperature difference is higher than 7°C, it means that the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the outlet air temperature is significant. And since, as mentioned above, there will not be a situation where the indoor ambient temperature is much lower than the outlet air temperature, it can be considered here that the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the outlet air temperature is significant and the indoor ambient temperature is higher than the outlet air temperature.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, step S103 includes step S401.

[0060] S401. If the outlet air temperature is less than or equal to the dew point temperature, the speed of the upper fan is reduced according to the preset speed reduction value, and the frequency of the air conditioner compressor is reduced according to the preset frequency reduction value.

[0061] When the outlet air temperature is less than or equal to the dew point temperature, the mixed wet air is saturated, and the excess moisture is precipitated, which causes condensation or fogging. If not controlled, small water droplets will condense on the shell. Therefore, the upper fan needs to be adjusted, for example, the speed of the indoor fan is reduced by 50 rpm every time, and the frequency of the compressor is reduced by 2 Hz every time. Of course, in other embodiments, one of the fan speed and the compressor frequency can be selected to adjust.

[0062] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 S401 includes steps S501-S503.

[0063] S501, obtain the second temperature difference between the outlet air temperature and the dew point temperature, and determine whether the second temperature difference is within the preset temperature difference range;

[0064] S502, if the second temperature difference is within the preset temperature difference range, the speed of the upper fan is reduced by a first preset speed reduction value, and the frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner is reduced by a first preset frequency reduction value;

[0065] S503, if the second temperature difference is not within the preset temperature difference range, the speed of the upper fan is reduced by a second preset speed reduction value, and the frequency of the compressor of the air conditioner is reduced by a second preset frequency reduction value; wherein the first preset speed reduction value is less than the second preset speed reduction value, and the first preset frequency reduction value is less than the second preset frequency reduction value.

[0066] In this embodiment, by obtaining the second temperature difference between the outlet air temperature and the dew point temperature, and comparing the second temperature difference with the preset temperature difference range, the specific values of the speed reduction and the frequency reduction are determined, thereby further preventing condensation control effect. For example, when the second temperature difference is within the preset temperature difference range, it indicates that the second temperature difference between the outlet air temperature and the dew point temperature is not large, and the speed of the upper fan and the frequency of the compressor can be fine-tuned, i.e. the first preset frequency reduction value and the first preset frequency reduction value are used for corresponding operation; when the second temperature difference is not within the preset temperature difference range, it indicates that the second temperature difference between the outlet air temperature and the dew point temperature is large, and the speed of the upper fan and the frequency of the compressor can be adjusted, so that the outlet air temperature can be quickly reduced, i.e. the second preset speed reduction value and the second preset frequency reduction value are used for corresponding operation. For example, the first preset frequency reduction value is set to 30 rpm, the second preset frequency reduction value is set to 50 rpm, and the first preset frequency reduction value is set to 2 Hz, and the first preset frequency reduction value is set to 3 Hz. Of course, in other embodiments, in order to further improve the condensation control effect, the speed reduction and the frequency reduction can be further refined, etc.
