Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning condensate removal technology, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, computer-readable storage medium, and air conditioning system for removing condensate. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners cool the air in a relatively enclosed space through heat exchange. During this process, water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water, known as condensate. If condensate cannot be drained in time and accumulates over a long period, it may damage the air conditioner's components. Timely removal of condensate is crucial for the long-term stable operation of the air conditioner.

[0003] If space permits, an air conditioner can be equipped with a water tank, water pump, and matching water pipes to drain accumulated water. Using a water tank and ultrasonic atomizer can reduce noise; the atomizer atomizes the water, and a fan then discharges the mist to remove it. However, the atomization efficiency of the atomizer is quite limited and is affected by ambient temperature and humidity. A common solution involves installing two water level switches, one for low water level and one for high water level. When the low water level is reached, the atomizer activates to remove water; when the high water level is reached, a full water protection state is activated, requiring the compressor to stop while the atomizer is running. The atomizer can stop working based on the low water level switch, or it can continue running until all water is removed, triggering an anti-dry-burning mechanism to stop. When only one water level sensor is installed, low water level is detected by directly activating the atomizer, detecting the signal, and then sending a feedback signal to the controller; high water level is determined by the water level switch. In this mode, when there is water accumulation, the atomizer turns on and sends a feedback signal to the controller, which interprets the signal as 1. When there is no water accumulation, the atomizer's anti-dry-burn protection mechanism is triggered, the atomizer stops working, and no signal is sent to the controller, which also interprets the signal as 0. Frequent use of the atomizer, especially if there is insufficient water accumulation, can easily shorten its lifespan by causing it to dry out. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Optionally, when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, controlling the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height includes: when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, controlling the atomizer to turn on and controlling the air conditioner to maintain the current operating mode; controlling the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to maintain the current operating mode until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height, then controlling the atomizer to turn off.

[0010] Optionally, controlling the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to remain off cooling until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height, and then controlling the atomizer to close and the air conditioner to resume its operating mode includes: controlling the drive to adjust the height of the water level switch to a third target height, the third target height being less than the first target height and greater than the second target height; controlling the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to remain off cooling until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the third target height, and then controlling the atomizer to close and the air conditioner to resume its operating mode.

[0011] Optionally, if the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, the method further includes controlling the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height, and then controlling the drive to adjust the height of the water level switch to a fourth target height, wherein the fourth target height is greater than the second target height.

[0012] According to another aspect of this application, a condensate removal device is provided. The air conditioner includes a water storage tank, a water level switch, a driving component, and an atomizer. The driving component is located on the inner wall of the water storage tank and is used to drive the water level switch to move to adjust its height. The atomizer is used to atomize the condensate in the water storage tank. The device includes: a first control unit, used to control the driving component to adjust the height of the water level switch to a first target height upon receiving a removal command, the removal command being a command to start removing condensate; a second control unit, used to control the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water storage tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height when the water level detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height; a third control unit, used to control the driving component to adjust the height of the water level switch to a second target height, the second target height being less than the first target height; and a fourth control unit, used to control the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water storage tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height when the water level detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height.

[0013] According to another aspect of this application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium including a stored program, wherein, when the program is executed, it controls the device on which the computer-readable storage medium is located to perform any of the methods described.

[0015] Applying the technical solution of this application, in the above-mentioned method for removing condensate, firstly, upon receiving a removal command, the driving component is controlled to adjust the height of the water level switch to a first target height, where the removal command is an instruction to begin removing condensate; then, when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, the atomizer is controlled to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height; subsequently, the driving component is controlled to adjust the height of the water level switch to a second target height, where the second target height is less than the first target height; finally, when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, the atomizer is controlled to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height. This method employs a two-stage process to remove condensate. The first stage lowers the water level in the storage tank below the first target height to prevent condensate overflow. The second stage lowers the water level in the storage tank below the second target height to stop the process, thus preventing the atomizer from burning out. This solves the problem of atomizer burning out during condensate removal in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0031] This embodiment provides a method for removing condensate from a mobile terminal, computer terminal, or similar computing device, such as... Figure 2 (a) and Figure 2As shown in (b), the air conditioner includes an air conditioner unit 1, a water tank 2, an atomizer 3, a water level switch 4, a drive unit 5, and a fan 6. The water tank 2 is located below the air conditioner unit 1 to receive the condensate from the air conditioner unit 1. The drive unit 5 is located on the inner wall of the water tank 2 and is used to drive the water level switch 4 to move to adjust the height of the water level switch 4. The atomizer 3 is used to atomize the condensate from the water tank 2. The fan 6 blows away the atomized water vapor to prevent re-condensation. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the attached figure can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Also, although the 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.

[0032] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a condensate removal method according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S201: Upon receiving a removal command, control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to the first target height. The removal command is a command to start removing condensate.

[0034] Specifically, upon receiving a removal command, the operation to remove condensate is initiated. The height of the water level switch is adjusted to the first target height by the aforementioned drive component, so that the water level can be controlled subsequently to prevent overflow.

[0035] Step S202: When the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, control the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height.

[0036] Specifically, if the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, it indicates that the water level in the water tank is too high and there is a risk of overflow. In this case, the atomizer is turned on to lower the water level until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height, so as to ensure that the water tank will not overflow.

[0037] Step S203: Control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to the second target height, where the second target height is less than the first target height;

[0038] Specifically, the height of the aforementioned water level switch is lowered to the second target height in order to further reduce the water level in the aforementioned water storage tank.

[0039] Step S204: When the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, control the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height.

[0040] Specifically, if the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, it indicates that the condensate in the water tank has not evaporated. In this case, the atomizer is turned on to further reduce the water level until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height, thus preventing the atomizer from burning dry.

[0041] In the above-described method for removing condensate, firstly, upon receiving a removal command, the driving component is controlled to adjust the height of the water level switch to a first target height. The removal command is the command to begin removing condensate. Then, when the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, the atomizer is controlled to turn on until the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height. Afterward, the driving component is controlled to adjust the height of the water level switch to a second target height, which is less than the first target height. Finally, when the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, the atomizer is controlled to turn on until the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height. This method employs a two-stage condensate removal process. The first stage lowers the water level in the storage tank below the first target height to prevent condensate overflow. The second stage lowers the water level in the storage tank below the second target height and then ends the process, preventing the atomizer from burning out and solving the problem of atomizer burning out during condensate removal in existing technologies.

[0042] To avoid frequent switching of the atomizer, in an optional implementation, before step S201, the method further includes:

[0043] Step S301: Detect whether the current interval duration is greater than or equal to the adjustment cycle. The adjustment cycle is the interval between two adjacent condensate removals, and the current interval duration is the duration from the end time of the last condensate removal to the current time.

[0044] Step S302: If the current interval duration is greater than or equal to the adjustment period, the removal command is triggered; if the current interval duration is less than the adjustment period, the removal command is not triggered.

[0045] In the above implementation, a suitable adjustment cycle is set. If the current interval is greater than or equal to the adjustment cycle, the above removal command is triggered to perform the operation of removing condensate. Otherwise, the above removal command is not triggered. If the water accumulation time is short, there is no need to perform the operation of removing condensate, that is, there is no need to turn on the atomizer, thus avoiding frequent turning on of the atomizer and improving the service life of the atomizer.

[0046] To further reduce the probability of overflow, in an optional implementation, step S201 above includes:

[0047] Step S2011: Upon receiving a removal instruction, obtain the current ambient temperature and current ambient humidity, wherein the current ambient temperature is the current temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located, and the current ambient humidity is the current humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located.

[0048] Step S2012: Determine the first target height based on the current ambient temperature and the current ambient humidity. The first target height is directly proportional to the current ambient temperature and inversely proportional to the current ambient humidity.

[0049] Step S2013: Control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to the first target height.

[0050] In the above embodiments, the height of the water level switch is adjusted to the first target height according to different ambient temperature and humidity, so that the first target height is directly proportional to the current ambient temperature and inversely proportional to the current ambient humidity. This allows for more accurate detection of the water level, improves the accuracy of the atomizer's activation timing, and reduces the probability of condensate overflow caused by slow condensate removal efficiency due to excessively low ambient temperature or high humidity.

[0051] To further reduce the probability of overflow, in an optional implementation, step S202 above includes:

[0052] Step S2021: When the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, control the atomizer to turn on and control the air conditioner to stop cooling.

[0053] Step S2022: Control the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to remain off cooling until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is lower than the first target height, then control the atomizer to turn off and restore the working mode of the air conditioner.

[0054] In the above embodiment, if the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, it indicates that the water level in the water tank is too high and there is a risk of overflow. At the same time as controlling the atomizer to turn on, the air conditioner is controlled to stop cooling to avoid water accumulation and overflow. Subsequently, when the water level in the water tank drops below the first target height, the risk of overflow due to the high water level is eliminated, and the atomizer can be controlled to turn off and the working mode of the air conditioner can be restored.

[0055] To ensure user experience, in one optional implementation, step S204 includes:

[0056] Step S2041: When the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, control the atomizer to turn on and control the air conditioner to maintain the current working mode.

[0057] Step S2042: Control the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to remain in its current operating mode until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is lower than the second target height, then control the atomizer to turn off.

[0058] In the above embodiments, after the water level in the water tank is reduced to below the first target height, the risk of overflow due to excessive water level is eliminated. When further reducing the water level in the water tank, there is no need to stop cooling. The air conditioner can be controlled to maintain the current working mode until the water level in the water tank is reduced to below the second target height. Then, the atomizer is turned off to ensure normal use of the air conditioner and improve the user experience.

[0059] To ensure the accuracy of water level detection, in one optional implementation, step S2022 includes:

[0060] Step S20221: Control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to the third target height, where the third target height is less than the first target height and greater than the second target height;

[0061] Step S20222: Control the atomizer to remain on and control the air conditioner to remain off cooling until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is lower than the third target height, then control the atomizer to turn off and restore the air conditioner to its working mode.

[0062] In the above embodiments, after the atomizer is kept on, the height of the water level switch drops a certain distance to the third target height, reducing the impact of liquid surface fluctuations during atomization. The atomizer can adjust the height of the water level switch in a timely manner, increasing the accuracy of water level detection.

[0063] To further avoid frequent atomizer activation, in an optional implementation, after step S204, the method further includes:

[0064] Step S401: Control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to the fourth target height, which is greater than the second target height.

[0065] In the above embodiment, after the water level in the water tank drops below the second target height, the height of the water level switch is raised to the fourth target height to prevent the atomizer from frequently turning on after the water level in the water tank rises.

[0066] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application, the implementation process of the condensate removal method of this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0067] This embodiment relates to a specific method for removing condensate, including the following steps:

[0068] Step S1: As Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner's temperature and humidity sensor operates normally, monitoring temperature and humidity in real time and sending feedback to the control center. It waits for the high water level adjustment cycle to arrive. The control center checks the water level switch height and determines whether it meets the requirements based on the temperature and humidity. If it does, no action is taken, and the system waits for the next adjustment cycle. If the requirements are not met, the motor is activated, moving the water level switch's structural components and automatically adjusting its height as needed. Simultaneously, the water level switch detects the water level. If the water level is not reached, the atomizer remains off. If the water level is reached, the control center detects the signal feedback and activates the atomizer to remove condensate. At the same time, the water level switch height decreases by a certain distance to reduce the impact of liquid surface fluctuations during atomization. Once the accumulated water is below the water level switch height, the atomizer shuts off, and the adjustment cycle begins timing, waiting for the next high water level adjustment cycle.

[0069] Step S2: As Figure 5 As shown, the system waits for the low water level adjustment cycle to complete. The control center checks the water level switch height. As the low and high water level adjustment cycles alternate, the motor moves the water level switch mechanism, lowering its height to the low water level detection height. The water level switch then checks if the water level has been reached. If not, the atomizer remains off; if it has, the control center detects the signal and activates the atomizer to remove condensate. The motor then moves the water level switch back to the high water level detection height, waiting for the next low water level detection cycle. After the accumulated water is atomized, the atomizer triggers its anti-dry-burning mechanism to stop operating. The control center detects the signal and cuts off power.

[0070] 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, and 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.

[0071] This application also provides a condensate removal device. It should be noted that the condensate removal device of this application can be used to execute the condensate removal method provided in this application. This device is used to implement the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. Figure 2 (a) and Figure 2 As shown in (b), the air conditioner includes an air conditioner unit 1, a water tank 2, an atomizer 3, a water level switch 4, a drive unit 5, and a fan 6. The water tank 2 is located below the air conditioner unit 1 to collect the condensate from the air conditioner unit 1. The drive unit 5 is located on the inner wall of the water tank 2 and is used to drive the water level switch 4 to move and adjust the height of the water level switch 4. The atomizer 3 is used to atomize the condensate from the water tank 2. The fan 6 disperses the atomized water vapor to prevent re-condensation. As used below, the term "module" can refer to a combination of software and / or hardware that performs a predetermined function. Although the apparatus described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, implementation in hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.

[0072] The following describes the condensate removal device provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0073] Figure 6 This is a structural block diagram of a condensate removal device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the device includes:

[0074] The first control unit 10 is used to control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to a first target height when a removal command is received. The removal command is a command to start removing condensate.

[0075] Specifically, upon receiving a removal command, the operation to remove condensate is initiated. The height of the water level switch is adjusted to the first target height by the aforementioned drive component, so that the water level can be controlled subsequently to prevent overflow.

[0076] The second control unit 20 is used to control the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height.

[0077] Specifically, if the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, it indicates that the water level in the water tank is too high and there is a risk of overflow. In this case, the atomizer is turned on to lower the water level until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height, so as to ensure that the water tank will not overflow.

[0078] The third control unit 30 is used to control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to a second target height, wherein the second target height is less than the first target height.

[0079] Specifically, the height of the aforementioned water level switch is lowered to the second target height in order to further reduce the water level in the aforementioned water storage tank.

[0080] The fourth control unit 40 is used to control the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height.

[0081] Specifically, if the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, it indicates that the condensate in the water tank has not evaporated. In this case, the atomizer is turned on to further reduce the water level until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height, thus preventing the atomizer from burning dry.

[0082] In the aforementioned condensate removal device, upon receiving a removal command, the first control unit controls the drive component to adjust the height of the water level switch to a first target height. The removal command is an instruction to begin removing condensate. The second control unit, when the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, controls the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is less than the first target height. The third control unit controls the drive component to adjust the height of the water level switch to a second target height, where the second target height is less than the first target height. The fourth control unit, when the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, controls the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the storage tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height. This device employs a two-stage condensate removal process. The first stage lowers the water level in the storage tank below the first target height to prevent condensate overflow. The second stage lowers the water level in the storage tank below the second target height and then ends, preventing the atomizer from burning out. This solves the problem of atomizer burning out during condensate removal in existing technologies.

[0083] To avoid frequent switching of the atomizer, in one optional embodiment, the above-mentioned device further includes:

[0084] The detection unit is used to detect whether the current interval is greater than or equal to the adjustment cycle before controlling the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to the first target height when a removal command is received. The adjustment cycle is the interval between two adjacent condensate removals, and the current interval is the time from the end time of the last condensate removal to the current time.

[0085] The triggering unit is configured to trigger the removal instruction when the current interval duration is greater than or equal to the adjustment period, and not trigger the removal instruction when the current interval duration is less than the adjustment period.

[0086] In the above implementation, a suitable adjustment cycle is set. If the current interval is greater than or equal to the adjustment cycle, the above removal command is triggered to perform the operation of removing condensate. Otherwise, the above removal command is not triggered. If the water accumulation time is short, there is no need to perform the operation of removing condensate, that is, there is no need to turn on the atomizer, thus avoiding frequent turning on of the atomizer and improving the service life of the atomizer.

[0087] To further reduce the probability of overflow, in one optional implementation, the first control unit includes:

[0088] The acquisition module is used to acquire the current ambient temperature and current ambient humidity when a removal instruction is received. The current ambient temperature is the current temperature of the environment where the air conditioner is located, and the current ambient humidity is the current humidity of the environment where the air conditioner is located.

[0089] The determination module is used to determine the first target height based on the current ambient temperature and the current ambient humidity, wherein the first target height is directly proportional to the current ambient temperature and inversely proportional to the current ambient humidity;

[0090] The first control module is used to control the aforementioned driving component to adjust the height of the aforementioned water level switch to the aforementioned first target height.

[0091] In the above embodiments, the height of the water level switch is adjusted to the first target height according to different ambient temperature and humidity, so that the first target height is directly proportional to the current ambient temperature and inversely proportional to the current ambient humidity. This allows for more accurate detection of the water level, improves the accuracy of the atomizer's activation timing, and reduces the probability of condensate overflow caused by slow condensate removal efficiency due to excessively low ambient temperature or high humidity.

[0092] To further reduce the probability of overflow, in one optional implementation, the second control unit includes:

[0093] The second control module is used to control the atomizer to turn on and the air conditioner to stop cooling when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height.

[0094] The second control module is used to control the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to remain off cooling until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is lower than the first target height, then control the atomizer to turn off and restore the working mode of the air conditioner.

[0095] In the above embodiment, if the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the first target height, it indicates that the water level in the water tank is too high and there is a risk of overflow. At the same time as controlling the atomizer to turn on, the air conditioner is controlled to stop cooling to avoid water accumulation and overflow. Subsequently, when the water level in the water tank drops below the first target height, the risk of overflow due to the high water level is eliminated, and the atomizer can be controlled to turn off and the working mode of the air conditioner can be restored.

[0096] To ensure user experience, in one optional implementation, the fourth control unit includes:

[0097] The third control module is used to control the atomizer to turn on and control the air conditioner to maintain the current working mode when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height.

[0098] The fourth control module is used to control the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to remain in its current working mode until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is lower than the second target height, at which point the atomizer is controlled to turn off.

[0099] In the above embodiments, after the water level in the water tank is reduced to below the first target height, the risk of overflow due to excessive water level is eliminated. When further reducing the water level in the water tank, there is no need to stop cooling. The air conditioner can be controlled to maintain the current working mode until the water level in the water tank is reduced to below the second target height. Then, the atomizer is turned off to ensure normal use of the air conditioner and improve the user experience.

[0100] To ensure the accuracy of water level detection, in one optional implementation, the second control module includes:

[0101] The adjustment submodule is used to control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to a third target height, wherein the third target height is less than the first target height and greater than the second target height;

[0102] The control submodule is used to control the atomizer to remain on and the air conditioner to remain off cooling until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is lower than the third target height, then controls the atomizer to turn off and restores the working mode of the air conditioner.

[0103] In the above embodiments, after the atomizer is kept on, the height of the water level switch drops a certain distance to the third target height, reducing the impact of liquid surface fluctuations during atomization. The atomizer can adjust the height of the water level switch in a timely manner, increasing the accuracy of water level detection.

[0104] To further avoid frequent switching on of the atomizer, in one optional embodiment, the above-mentioned device further includes:

[0105] The fifth control unit is configured to, when the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is greater than or equal to the second target height, control the atomizer to turn on until the water level in the water tank detected by the water level switch is less than the second target height, and then control the drive unit to adjust the height of the water level switch to a fourth target height, wherein the fourth target height is greater than the second target height.

[0106] In the above embodiment, after the water level in the water tank drops below the second target height, the height of the water level switch is raised to the fourth target height to prevent the atomizer from frequently turning on after the water level in the water tank rises.

[0107] The aforementioned condensate removal device includes a processor and a memory. The first control unit, second control unit, third control unit, and fourth control unit are all stored as program units in the memory, and the processor executes the program units stored in the memory to achieve the corresponding functions. All of the above modules are located in the same processor; alternatively, the modules may be located in different processors in any combination.

[0108] The processor contains a kernel, which retrieves the corresponding program unit from memory. One or more kernels can be configured, and adjusting kernel parameters can address the problem of atomizer dry-burning that easily occurs when removing condensate in existing technologies.

[0109] The memory may include non-permanent memory in computer-readable media, such as random access memory (RAM) and / or non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory (ROM) or flash RAM, and the memory includes at least one memory chip.
