Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent air conditioning technology, such as a control method and device for dehumidifying air conditioners, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, air conditioners are widely used, and people's requirements for air conditioners are also increasing, leading to continuous optimization of air conditioner performance. For example, current air conditioners generally have a dehumidification function. When the air conditioner is in cooling mode, because the evaporation temperature of the heat exchanger is low, condensation will occur, thus reducing indoor humidity and achieving a dehumidification effect.

[0003] In related technologies, the difference between indoor humidity and set humidity is usually used to control the compressor frequency to achieve air conditioning dehumidification.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related technology: the air conditioner dehumidifies by controlling the compressor frequency solely by the difference between the indoor humidity and the set humidity. Due to the single dehumidification reference factor, the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0006] This disclosure provides a control method and device for air conditioning dehumidification, and an air conditioner, which controls the operation of the air conditioner compressor by adjusting dehumidification reference factors to achieve precise dehumidification and improve the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner.

[0007] In some embodiments, the control method for air conditioning dehumidification includes: obtaining a target indoor ambient temperature, real-time indoor ambient humidity, and real-time air conditioning indoor coil temperature; determining a target air conditioning indoor coil temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and real-time indoor ambient humidity; determining a first target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor based on the coil temperature difference between the target air conditioning indoor coil temperature and the real-time air conditioning indoor coil temperature; and controlling the air conditioning compressor to operate at the first target operating frequency to reduce the temperature of the air conditioning indoor coil so that water vapor in the air condenses.

[0008] In some embodiments, the control device for air conditioning dehumidification includes a processor and a memory storing program instructions, wherein the processor is configured to execute the aforementioned control method for air conditioning dehumidification when executing the program instructions.

[0009] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes the aforementioned control device for dehumidification.

[0010] The control method and device for dehumidification of air conditioners and the air conditioner provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0011] In this disclosed technical solution, the target indoor coil temperature of the air conditioner is first determined based on the target indoor ambient temperature and the real-time indoor ambient humidity. Then, the target operating frequency of the air conditioner compressor is determined based on the temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature. The air conditioner compressor is then controlled to operate at the target operating frequency, thereby lowering the temperature of the indoor coil to cause condensation of water vapor in the air, achieving dehumidification. In this way, by adjusting the dehumidification reference factors and determining the target operating frequency of the air conditioner compressor based on the temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature, and controlling the compressor's operation, precise dehumidification can be achieved, significantly improving the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner.

[0023] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for air conditioning dehumidification, including the following steps:

[0024] S101 obtains the target indoor ambient temperature, real-time indoor ambient humidity, and real-time indoor air conditioning coil temperature.

[0025] In practical applications, temperature and humidity sensors are used for real-time temperature and humidity data acquisition. For example, a temperature sensor placed near the indoor coil is used to obtain the real-time temperature of the air conditioner's indoor coil, and a humidity sensor is used to obtain the real-time indoor humidity. Here, the target indoor temperature is the indoor temperature that the user wants to achieve.

[0026] S102, determine the target indoor air conditioning coil temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and real-time indoor ambient humidity.

[0027] Since the dew point temperature varies with humidity, this disclosure determines the target indoor coil temperature by combining the target indoor ambient temperature and the real-time indoor ambient humidity, thereby better achieving air conditioning dehumidification based on the target indoor coil temperature.

[0028] S103, determine the first target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor based on the coil temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature.

[0029] Optionally, the first target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor is determined based on the coil temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature, including: determining the first target operating frequency by means of PID calculation based on the coil temperature difference.

[0030] PID control, or Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control, combines the effects of proportional, integral, and derivative functions. It accelerates system response, reduces oscillations, overcomes overshoot, and effectively eliminates steady-state error, significantly improving both the static and dynamic performance of the system. By determining the target operating frequency of the compressor through PID calculation, air conditioning dehumidification can be achieved, resulting in more precise and stable dehumidification control.

[0031] S104 controls the air conditioning compressor to operate at the first target operating frequency, reducing the temperature of the indoor coil of the air conditioner to cause water vapor in the air to condense.

[0032] In practical applications, the air conditioner compressor is controlled to operate at the first target operating frequency, so that the indoor coil near the evaporator creates a localized lower temperature. Since this temperature is lower than the dew point temperature of the room air, water vapor in the air near the indoor coil condenses, forming water droplets. These droplets slide along the evaporator track to the drain trough and are then discharged into the room, thus achieving air conditioning dehumidification.

[0033] The control method for air conditioning dehumidification provided in this disclosure first determines the target indoor coil temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and real-time indoor ambient humidity. Then, based on the temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature, the target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor is determined, and the air conditioning compressor is controlled to operate at the target operating frequency. This lowers the temperature of the indoor coil, causing water vapor in the air to condense, thus achieving air conditioning dehumidification. In this way, by adjusting the dehumidification reference factors and determining the target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor based on the temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature, and controlling the compressor's operation, precise dehumidification can be achieved, significantly improving the air conditioning dehumidification effect.

[0034] Combination Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for air conditioning dehumidification, which determines the target indoor coil temperature of the air conditioner based on the target indoor ambient temperature and the real-time indoor ambient humidity, including the following steps:

[0035] S201, determine the real-time dew point temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and the real-time indoor ambient humidity.

[0036] Dew point temperature, simply put, is the temperature at which water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into dew droplets. Because the atmosphere has a limited capacity to hold water vapor, generally, the higher the temperature, the more water vapor it can hold. When the amount of water vapor remains constant, if the air temperature drops, the water vapor will become saturated at a certain point; this critical temperature is the dew point temperature.

[0037] Since dew point temperature is related to ambient humidity, this disclosure determines the real-time dew point temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and the real-time indoor ambient humidity. Subsequently, the dehumidification control of the air conditioning can be performed more accurately based on the real-time dew point temperature.

[0038] Optionally, the real-time dew point temperature is determined based on the target indoor ambient temperature and the real-time indoor ambient humidity, including: filtering the real-time indoor ambient humidity to obtain the filtered real-time indoor ambient humidity; and determining the real-time dew point temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and the filtered real-time indoor ambient humidity.

[0039] The real-time indoor humidity is filtered, including: obtaining the average indoor humidity of the previous N real-time indoor humidity readings; if the difference between the real-time indoor humidity and the average indoor humidity is greater than a preset humidity difference, the average of the previous two real-time indoor humidity readings is taken as the current real-time indoor humidity. Here, N is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0040] For example, if the real-time indoor humidity detected in the first N times (e.g., the first 5 times) is 70%, 68%, 66%, 64%, and 62%, then the average indoor humidity is 66%. When the preset humidity difference is 5%, if the current real-time indoor humidity is 88%, then the humidity difference between the current real-time indoor humidity and the average indoor humidity is 22% (greater than the preset humidity difference of 5%). Therefore, the average of the previous two real-time indoor humidity values ​​(64% and 62%, respectively), which is 63%, is taken as the current real-time indoor humidity.

[0041] By filtering the real-time indoor humidity, we can avoid the impact of obviously abnormal real-time indoor humidity data on the accuracy of the real-time dew point temperature, thereby improving the stability of the subsequent operation of the air conditioner compressor, preventing drastic fluctuations in compressor frequency from damaging the compressor's lifespan, and minimizing the impact of unstable air conditioner operation on the user experience.

[0042] Table 1 below shows a preset correspondence table for selectable target indoor ambient temperature, real-time indoor ambient humidity, and real-time dew point temperature. Based on the target indoor ambient temperature and real-time indoor ambient humidity (filtered real-time indoor ambient humidity), the real-time dew point temperature corresponding to the target indoor ambient temperature and real-time indoor ambient humidity can be determined by looking up the preset correspondence table below. For example, if the target indoor ambient temperature is 15℃ and the real-time indoor ambient humidity is 32%, then the real-time dew point temperature is -1.4℃.

[0043] Table 1. Preset Correspondence Table

[0044]

[0045] S202, determine the real-time dew point temperature compensation value based on the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner.

[0046] Under constant ambient temperature and humidity, the condensation effect is also related to wind speed. Generally speaking, the higher the wind speed, the faster the airflow at the indoor coil of the air conditioner, and the faster the condensation; the lower the wind speed, the slower the airflow at the indoor coil, and the slower the condensation. Therefore, the real-time dew point temperature compensation value should be determined based on the indoor fan speed (wind speed).

[0047] In practical applications, a correspondence table between the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner and the real-time dew point temperature compensation value can be established. By looking up the correspondence table between the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner and the real-time dew point temperature compensation value, the real-time dew point temperature compensation value corresponding to the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner can be determined.

[0048] S203, determine the target indoor coil temperature of the air conditioner based on the real-time dew point temperature and the real-time dew point temperature compensation value.

[0049] Optionally, the target indoor coil temperature of the air conditioner is determined based on the real-time dew point temperature and the real-time dew point temperature compensation value, including determining the target indoor coil temperature of the air conditioner according to the following formula:

[0050] T m =T s +α×ΔT b

[0051] Among them, T m For the target indoor coil temperature of the air conditioner, T s ΔT represents the real-time dew point temperature, α represents the real-time dew point temperature compensation coefficient, and ΔT represents the dew point temperature. b This is the real-time dew point temperature compensation value.

[0052] Real-time dew point temperature compensation value ΔT b When the temperature exceeds the preset compensation value (e.g., 2°C), the real-time dew point temperature compensation coefficient α and the real-time dew point temperature compensation value ΔT... bNegative correlation, i.e., ΔT b The smaller ΔT is, the larger α is; b The larger the value, the smaller α becomes. This avoids the need for a real-time dew point temperature compensation value ΔT. b An excessively large value can actually affect the accuracy of the target air conditioner indoor coil temperature Tm.

[0053] In this embodiment, the target indoor coil temperature of the air conditioner is determined comprehensively based on the target indoor ambient temperature and the real-time indoor ambient humidity, and the target indoor coil temperature is compensated by the indoor fan speed. This can more accurately determine the temperature factors on which the air conditioner dehumidifies, thereby achieving precise dehumidification and improving the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner.

[0054] Combination Figure 3 As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for air conditioning dehumidification, which determines a first target operating frequency based on the coil temperature difference using a PID calculation method, including the following steps:

[0055] S301, with multiple (ΔT) n Q n Linear fitting is performed on the fitting points to form a reference curve between the coil temperature difference and the cooling capacity.

[0056] Where, ΔT n Let Q be the temperature difference of the nth coil. n For ΔT n The corresponding nth cooling capacity.

[0057] S302: Select multiple reference points arbitrarily from the reference curve, and take the cooling capacity of the reference points as the fixed cooling capacity value, and take the coil temperature difference of the reference points as the fixed parameter.

[0058] S303, adjust the indoor fan speed and compressor operating frequency until the cooling efficiency ratio (COP) reaches its maximum.

[0059] S304, collecting the indoor fan speed and compressor frequency of the air conditioner under the highest COP condition, to obtain the optimal state point (ΔT). n R n F n ).

[0060] Among them, R n Let F be the speed of the nth indoor air conditioner fan. n Let n be the frequency of the nth air conditioner compressor.

[0061] S305, all optimal state points (ΔT) n R n F n Perform surface fitting to obtain the fitted curve;

[0062] S306, based on the fitted curve, determine the air conditioner compressor frequency corresponding to the coil temperature difference as the first target operating frequency.

[0063] This embodiment of the invention determines the first target operating frequency of the compressor based on the coil temperature difference using PID calculation, thereby achieving air conditioning dehumidification. This makes the air conditioning dehumidification control more precise and stable. At the same time, selecting the air conditioning compressor frequency at the highest COP (Cooling Performance Ratio) makes the air conditioning dehumidification operation more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0064] Combination Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for air conditioner dehumidification, which controls the air conditioner compressor to operate at a first target operating frequency, including the following steps:

[0065] S401, obtain the first ambient temperature difference between the real-time indoor ambient temperature and the target indoor ambient temperature.

[0066] S402, determine the second target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor based on the first ambient temperature difference.

[0067] Optionally, determining the second target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor based on the first ambient temperature difference includes: determining the second target operating frequency based on the first ambient temperature difference using a PID calculation method.

[0068] The method for obtaining the operating frequency of the second target is similar to that for the first target. Specifically, it includes: using multiple (ΔT2) n Q n Linear fitting is performed on the fitted points to form a reference curve between the first ambient temperature difference and the cooling capacity; where ΔT2 n Let Q be the nth first ambient temperature difference value. n For ΔT2 n The corresponding nth cooling capacity; arbitrarily select multiple reference points from the reference curve, and take the cooling capacity of the reference points as the fixed cooling capacity value, and take the first ambient temperature difference of the reference points as the fixed parameter; adjust the indoor fan speed and the operating frequency of the air conditioner compressor until the cooling efficiency ratio (COP) reaches its maximum; collect the indoor fan speed and the air conditioner compressor frequency under the highest cooling efficiency ratio (COP) condition to obtain the optimal state point (ΔT). n R n F n ); where R n Let F be the speed of the nth indoor air conditioner fan. n Let the frequency of the nth air conditioner compressor be ; let all the optimal state points (ΔT) be denoted as . n R n F nPerform surface fitting to obtain the fitting curve; based on the fitting curve, determine the air conditioner compressor frequency corresponding to the first ambient temperature difference as the second target operating frequency.

[0069] Based on the first ambient temperature difference, the second target operating frequency of the compressor is determined by PID calculation, thereby achieving air conditioning dehumidification. This makes the air conditioning dehumidification control more precise and stable. At the same time, selecting the air conditioning compressor frequency when the cooling energy efficiency ratio (COP) is at its highest makes the air conditioning dehumidification operation more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

[0070] S403, when the first target operating frequency is greater than the second target operating frequency, control the air conditioning compressor to operate at the first target operating frequency.

[0071] A second target operating frequency is determined based on the first ambient temperature difference, reflecting the air conditioner's temperature regulation needs. The larger the first ambient temperature difference, the higher the second target operating frequency, indicating a relatively large user's temperature regulation needs; conversely, the smaller the first ambient temperature difference, the lower the second target operating frequency, indicating a relatively small user's temperature regulation needs.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the first target operating frequency is greater than the second target operating frequency, the air conditioning compressor is controlled to operate at the first target operating frequency. When the air conditioning dehumidification demand is high, controlling the air conditioning compressor to operate at the first target operating frequency effectively and prioritizes air conditioning dehumidification, thereby improving the user experience.

[0073] Combination Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure provides a control method for air conditioning dehumidification, including the following steps:

[0074] S501 obtains the target indoor ambient temperature, real-time indoor ambient humidity, and real-time indoor air conditioning coil temperature.

[0075] S502 determines the target indoor air conditioning coil temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and real-time indoor ambient humidity.

[0076] S503, based on the coil temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature, determine the first target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor.

[0077] S504, obtain the first ambient temperature difference between the real-time indoor ambient temperature and the target indoor ambient temperature.

[0078] S505, based on the first ambient temperature difference, determine the second target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor.

[0079] S506, compare the operating frequency of the first target with the operating frequency of the second target.

[0080] S507, when the first target operating frequency is greater than the second target operating frequency, controls the air conditioning compressor to operate at the first target operating frequency to reduce the temperature of the indoor coil of the air conditioner so that the water vapor in the air will condense.

[0081] S508, when the first target operating frequency is less than the second target operating frequency, control the air conditioning compressor to operate at the second target operating frequency;

[0082] S509 controls the air conditioning compressor to operate at the second target operating frequency, and obtains the second ambient temperature difference between the real-time indoor ambient temperature and the target indoor ambient temperature.

[0083] In practical applications, after controlling the air conditioning compressor to run at the second target operating frequency, the real-time indoor ambient temperature is continuously monitored, and the ambient temperature difference between the real-time indoor ambient temperature and the target indoor ambient temperature (the second ambient temperature difference) is calculated.

[0084] S510, when the second ambient temperature difference is less than the preset temperature difference, controls the air conditioning compressor to operate at the first target operating frequency.

[0085] The preset temperature difference range is (0.5℃, 2℃), for example, 0.5℃, 1℃, 1.5℃, 2℃.

[0086] The control method for air conditioning dehumidification provided in this embodiment adjusts dehumidification reference factors by determining the target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor based on the temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature. This control enables precise dehumidification and significantly improves the dehumidification effect. Furthermore, when the first target operating frequency is greater than the second target operating frequency, the air conditioning compressor operates at the first target operating frequency; when the first target operating frequency is less than the second target operating frequency, the air conditioning compressor operates at the second target operating frequency. When dehumidification demand is high, controlling the air conditioning compressor to operate at the first target operating frequency effectively and prioritizes dehumidification. When temperature regulation demand is high, controlling the air conditioning compressor to operate at the second target operating frequency effectively and prioritizes temperature regulation. After the indoor temperature is adjusted to a suitable level, the air conditioning compressor continues to operate at the first target operating frequency for effective dehumidification. This better meets users' air conditioning needs and enhances the user experience.

[0091] The control device for air conditioning dehumidification provided in this embodiment first determines the target indoor coil temperature based on the target indoor ambient temperature and real-time indoor ambient humidity. Then, based on the temperature difference between the target indoor coil temperature and the real-time indoor coil temperature, it determines the target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor and controls the compressor to operate at the target frequency. This lowers the temperature of the indoor coil, causing water vapor in the air to condense, thus achieving dehumidification. By adjusting the dehumidification reference factors and determining the target operating frequency of the air conditioning compressor based on the temperature difference between the target and real-time indoor coil temperatures, and controlling the compressor's operation, precise dehumidification can be achieved, significantly improving the dehumidification effect of the air conditioning system.
