[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application. Meanwhile, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are only used for distinguishing description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Therefore, the features with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0047] The embodiments of the present application provide an air conditioner control method and device, an air conditioner and a computer readable storage medium.

[0048] Specifically, the embodiments will be described from the perspective of an air conditioner control device, which can be integrated in an air conditioner, that is, the air conditioner control method of the embodiments of the present application can be executed by an air conditioner.

[0049] The following will be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings, and in the embodiments, the execution subject is taken as an example of an air conditioner. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments. Although the 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 in the drawings.

[0050] According to the background description, in the related art, defrosting is performed by switching a four-way valve and the like after detecting that frosting occurs on an outdoor heat exchanger. Frequent frosting and frequent defrosting can cause frequent fluctuations in indoor temperature, affecting the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0051] To solve the above problems, the present application discloses an air conditioner control method, please refer to Figure 1 The specific process of the air conditioner control method can be as follows: steps S10-S40, wherein:

[0052] Step S10, obtaining an outdoor environment temperature of the air conditioner and an evaporation pressure of an outdoor heat exchanger;

[0053] In the embodiment, the subject of the air conditioning control method can be an air conditioner, which is often operated in a heating mode to improve the indoor ambient temperature when the outdoor ambient temperature is low in autumn, winter, etc. When the outdoor ambient temperature is low, the outdoor heat exchanger is prone to frosting, and when the air conditioner is operated in the heating mode, the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger needs to be evaporated to absorb heat, so that the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is lower and frosting is more likely to occur. After frosting, the cooling effect of the air conditioner is reduced.

[0054] In the embodiment, when the air conditioner is operated in the cooling mode, the outdoor ambient temperature of the air conditioner is obtained, which directly affects the frosting difficulty of the outdoor heat exchanger. In addition, the evaporating pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger is also needed to be obtained, which is the pressure of the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger when evaporating. When the evaporating pressure is higher, the surface refrigerant flow rate is faster, and the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is higher. Conversely, when the evaporating pressure is lower, the surface refrigerant flow rate is slower, and the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is lower, so that the outdoor heat exchanger is prone to frosting.

[0055] Step S20, if the outdoor ambient temperature and the evaporating pressure meet the frosting condition, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is increased;

[0056] In the embodiment, whether the outdoor heat exchanger meets the frosting condition is determined by the outdoor ambient temperature and the evaporating pressure. When the frosting condition is met, the outdoor heat exchanger can gradually frost. The outdoor ambient temperature is used as one of the frosting conditions because it is the basis for the outdoor heat exchanger to frost. If the outdoor ambient temperature is high, the outdoor heat exchanger will not frost. The evaporating pressure is the cause of the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger. If the evaporating pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger is low, the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger will gradually decrease until frosting occurs. The evaporating pressure can be used to predict whether the outdoor heat exchanger will frost, so that the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner can be increased in advance to prevent frosting.

[0057] Increasing the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner can prevent the outdoor heat exchanger from frosting. Referring to Figure 4From data 1 and 2, it can be seen that the higher the outdoor fan speed, the higher the outdoor heat exchanger evaporation pressure, and the less likely the outdoor heat exchanger to frost. The reason for no frost is that after the outdoor environment temperature and the evaporation pressure meet the frost condition, it is determined that the outdoor heat exchanger will gradually frost, so before the actual frost, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is increased, so that the airflow turbulence intensity through the outdoor heat exchanger is increased, the stability of the water vapor on the fin surface is reduced, and more water vapor can be taken away by the high-speed airflow, thereby frost can be avoided. Due to the increase of the airflow turbulence intensity through the outdoor heat exchanger, the heat exchange effect of the outdoor heat exchanger is enhanced, the air-side heat transfer coefficient is increased, the outlet temperature of the heat exchanger is increased, and the average temperature of the wall surface of the outdoor heat exchanger fins, copper pipes and the like is also increased, thereby the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger can be increased, the evaporation pressure is increased, and frost can be better prevented. The enhanced heat exchange effect of the outdoor heat exchanger can also improve the heating effect, increase the indoor temperature, and improve the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0058] In step S30, if the outdoor fan speed reaches the maximum speed, the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner and the compressor frequency of the air conditioner are controlled to reduce the frost probability of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0059] In this embodiment, since increasing the outdoor fan speed can prevent frost and also improve the comfort of the air conditioner, increasing the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is preferred as the operation for preventing frost. If the outdoor fan speed has reached the maximum speed that can be adjusted, but the outdoor environment temperature and the evaporation pressure still meet the frost condition, the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner and the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can be controlled to reduce the frost probability of the outdoor heat exchanger. Alternatively, the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner and / or the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can be reduced to reduce the frost probability of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0060] Referring to Figure 4 From data 2, 3 and 5, it can be seen that the higher the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger, the less likely the outdoor heat exchanger to frost after the indoor fan speed is reduced. The reason is that the refrigerant discharged from the compressor to the indoor heat exchanger is high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and its temperature is generally 30°C higher than the indoor environment temperature. When the indoor fan speed is reduced, the air volume is reduced, the indoor heat exchange effect is poor, the temperature of the refrigerant flowing into the outdoor heat exchanger from the indoor heat exchanger is increased, the condensation pressure of the indoor heat exchanger is increased, the refrigerant flow rate is increased, and the inlet temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is also increased, thereby the average wall surface temperature and the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger are increased, and frost can be effectively prevented.

[0061] From data 5, 6, 7, it can be seen that after reducing the compressor frequency, the higher the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger, the less likely the outdoor heat exchanger will frost. The reason is that because the refrigerant flow from the throttling element into the outdoor heat exchanger is small, after the compressor reduces the frequency, it matches the refrigerant flow discharged by the compressor, and the heat absorption effect of the outdoor heat exchanger and the heat load provided by the environment condition are also more matched, thereby causing the outdoor heat exchanger temperature and evaporation pressure to rise, effectively preventing frost.

[0062] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is preferentially increased, because increasing the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner can improve the heating effect and effectively prevent frost, so the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is preferentially increased in this embodiment, and the beneficial effect of reducing the indoor fan speed and / or reducing the compressor frequency of the air conditioner on the indoor temperature is poorer than increasing the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner. After the outdoor fan speed reaches the maximum speed, the indoor fan speed and / or the compressor frequency of the air conditioner is selected to be reduced.

[0063] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, the outdoor environment temperature of the air conditioner and the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger are obtained; if the outdoor environment temperature and the evaporation pressure meet the frost condition, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is increased; if the outdoor fan speed reaches the maximum speed, the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner and the compressor frequency of the air conditioner are controlled to reduce the frost probability of the outdoor heat exchanger. The present application can pre-judge the frost condition of the outdoor heat exchanger based on the outdoor environment temperature and the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger, and prevent the outdoor heat exchanger from frosting by increasing the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner. When the outdoor fan speed is increased, the stability of water vapor on the fin surface will decrease, and more water vapor will be carried away by the high-speed airflow, thereby avoiding further frosting. In addition, the turbulent intensity of the airflow flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger will increase, the heat exchange effect will be enhanced, and the air-side heat transfer coefficient will increase, thereby increasing the outlet air temperature of the indoor heat exchanger and improving indoor comfort. If the outdoor fan speed reaches the maximum speed, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can be controlled to further reduce the frost probability. In addition, increasing the indoor fan speed can increase the heat stored in the room, which can cushion the heat loss caused by adjusting the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency of the air conditioner later, so that reducing the indoor fan speed and / or reducing the compressor frequency of the air conditioner will not cause too much fluctuation of the indoor temperature. By combining the evaporation pressure, the outdoor fan speed, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency to reduce the frost probability of the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner, frequent frosting and defrosting can be avoided, thereby improving the heating effect and improving the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0064] Further, after step S10, it further includes:

[0065] If the outdoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset frosting temperature, then when the evaporation pressure is detected to be lower than the preset frosting pressure, the duration of the evaporation pressure being lower than the preset frosting pressure is obtained;

[0066] If the duration reaches the preset duration, the frosting condition is met.

[0067] In this embodiment, the air conditioner can gradually meet the frosting conditions based on the outdoor ambient temperature and the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger. After obtaining the outdoor ambient temperature, the relationship between the outdoor ambient temperature and the preset frosting temperature is detected. The preset frosting temperature can generally be set to 4°C. When the outdoor ambient temperature is higher than the preset frosting temperature, it can provide enough heat to the outdoor heat exchanger, making it difficult for it to frost. When it is lower than the preset frosting temperature, the outdoor environment does not provide enough heat to the indoor heat exchanger, making it easy for the indoor heat exchanger to frost. Therefore, if the outdoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset frosting temperature, the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger is obtained, and the comparison result between the evaporation pressure and the preset threshold is judged. When the evaporation pressure is detected to be lower than the preset frosting pressure, the timing starts to obtain the duration of the evaporation pressure being lower than the preset frosting pressure. If the evaporation pressure is higher than the preset frosting pressure afterward, the timing stops. If the recorded duration reaches the preset duration, it is considered that the evaporation pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger has been low for a long time, which may lead to the outdoor heat exchanger frosting. To prevent frost formation, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner needs to be increased. After increasing the outdoor fan speed, the duration will be reset to zero, and the duration of the evaporation pressure being lower than the preset evaporation pressure after detecting that the outdoor ambient temperature is lower than the preset frost temperature will be re-acquired.

[0068] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4 By comparing the frosting data with the non-frosting data, it can be found that frosting is more likely to occur at a low pressure of 0.65MPa. Therefore, in this embodiment, the preset frosting pressure can be set to 0.65MPa.

[0069] By combining outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor heat exchanger evaporation pressure, and the duration for which the evaporation pressure is below the preset frosting pressure, it is possible to more accurately predict whether the outdoor heat exchanger is about to frost. This allows for the timely increase of the outdoor fan speed, improving indoor heating efficiency and preventing outdoor heat exchanger frost formation, thus enhancing the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0070] Furthermore, step S20 also includes:

[0071] Obtain the outdoor fan speed and the ambient humidity of the outdoor heat exchanger;

[0072] The change in the outdoor fan speed is determined based on the ambient humidity, the outdoor fan speed, and a preset reference relationship.

[0073] Increase the outdoor fan rotating speed of the air conditioner according to the rotating speed change value.

[0074] In the embodiment, one of the reasons that increasing the outdoor fan rotating speed can prevent frosting is that the stability of water vapor on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger is reduced, and a large amount of water vapor on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger is blown away by high-speed airflow. Further, the increasing amount of the outdoor fan rotating speed can be determined more accurately according to the humidity of the outdoor environment. When the outdoor environment temperature and the evaporation pressure meet the frosting condition, and the outdoor fan rotating speed does not reach the maximum rotating speed, the current outdoor fan rotating speed and the current environmental humidity of the outdoor heat exchanger are obtained. The size of the environmental humidity of the outdoor heat exchanger at the current outdoor fan rotating speed is checked. If the outdoor fan rotating speed is small and the environmental humidity is high, it indicates that the adjustable space of the outdoor fan rotating speed is large, and the reducible space of the environmental humidity by increasing the outdoor fan rotating speed is large, so a larger rotating speed change value can be set. If the outdoor fan rotating speed is small and the environmental humidity is low, it indicates that the adjustable space of the outdoor fan rotating speed is large, but the reducible space of the environmental humidity by increasing the outdoor fan rotating speed is small, so a smaller rotating speed change value can be set. If the outdoor fan rotating speed is large and the environmental humidity is still high, it indicates that although the reducible space of the environmental humidity is large, the outdoor fan rotating speed is close to the maximum rotating speed, and the adjustable space of the outdoor fan rotating speed is small, so a smaller rotating speed change value can be set. If the outdoor fan rotating speed is large and the environmental humidity is low, it indicates that the outdoor fan rotating speed is close to the maximum rotating speed, and the adjustable space of the outdoor fan rotating speed is small, and the reducible space of the environmental humidity is small, so a smaller rotating speed change value can be set. The preset comparison relationship between the environmental humidity of the heat exchanger and the outdoor fan rotating speed and the rotating speed change value can be set based on the above reasons or other needs. Based on the preset comparison relationship, the rotating speed change value corresponding to the outdoor fan rotating speed and the environmental temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger when the frosting condition is met and the outdoor fan rotating speed has an adjustable space can be determined, and the outdoor fan rotating speed of the air conditioner is increased by the rotating speed change value to reduce the stability of water vapor on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger and blow away most of the water vapor. In this way, the environmental humidity and the outdoor fan rotating speed are used to accurately determine the rotating speed change value of the outdoor fan rotating speed when the frosting condition is met, and then a suitable rotating speed change value is selected to increase the outdoor fan rotating speed. This not only saves the energy consumption of the air conditioner, but also prolongs the frosting prevention time when the frosting prevention demand is met, and keeps the indoor environment in a comfortable state for a longer time.

[0075] Further, step S20 comprises:

[0076] obtaining the outdoor fan rotating speed;

[0077] determining a plurality of adjustment time points and a rotating speed change value corresponding to each adjustment time point according to the difference between the outdoor fan rotating speed and the maximum rotating speed;

[0078] If the adjustment time point is reached, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is increased according to the speed change value.

[0079] In the embodiment, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is obtained when it is determined that the frosting condition is met and the outdoor fan speed has not reached the maximum speed, i.e., the current outdoor fan speed. A difference between the outdoor fan speed and the maximum outdoor fan speed is calculated, and the difference is the increment of the outdoor fan speed if the air conditioner always meets the frosting condition. A plurality of adjustment time points after the frosting condition is met can be determined according to the size of the difference or preset information. At each adjustment time point, the outdoor fan speed needs to be increased, and a speed change value corresponding to each adjustment time point is determined according to the difference between the current outdoor fan speed and the maximum speed. The speed change values corresponding to different adjustment time points can be the same, or the speed change values can be determined according to the time interval between the adjustment time point and the next adjustment time point, or the speed change values can be gradually increased or decreased according to the time sequence of the adjustment time points. Alternatively, the later the time sequence of the adjustment time point, the greater the corresponding speed change value can be, because the later the time, the longer the time when the frosting condition is met, and the more serious the frosting trend. Selecting a larger speed change value can help prevent frosting in the later speed adjustment. If any adjustment time point is reached, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is increased by the speed change value corresponding to the adjustment time point.

[0080] It should be noted that the step of increasing the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner after the frosting condition is met can be performed once or multiple times. When performed once, the outdoor fan speed does not need to be increased to the maximum speed at one time, for example, the outdoor fan speed is increased by one gear, and the outdoor fan speed is increased by one gear again when the frosting condition is met again in the next time. When performed multiple times, the maximum speed can be taken as the target, and a plurality of adjustment time points can be divided to increase the outdoor fan speed. However, this process needs to be performed when the frosting condition is met. If it is detected that the outdoor environment temperature or the evaporation pressure does not meet the frosting condition, the adjustment time points after the detection time when the frosting condition is not met are discarded until the frosting condition is met again, and the adjustment time points and the corresponding speed change values are determined again.

[0081] In this way, after the frosting condition is met, a plurality of adjustment time points are determined in a planned manner, and the outdoor fan speed is gradually increased. If the frosting condition is always met, the outdoor fan speed can be adjusted to the maximum value. Thus, the frosting of the outdoor heat exchanger can be prevented in a planned and more timely manner, and the comfort of the air conditioner can be improved.

[0082] Alternatively, referring to Figure 2 Based on any of the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner, the step further includes:

[0083] Step S31, obtaining a first defrosting influence factor of the indoor fan and a second defrosting influence factor of the compressor;

[0084] In the embodiment, the first defrosting influence factor corresponding to the indoor fan speed and the second defrosting influence factor corresponding to the compressor frequency of the air conditioner are obtained. The defrosting influence factor refers to a parameter capable of representing the influence degree of the defrosting effect of the air conditioner when a single operating parameter is adjusted.

[0085] Step S32, if the first defrosting influence factor is greater than the second defrosting influence factor, the indoor fan speed is controlled until the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the compressor frequency is controlled.

[0086] Step S33, if the first defrosting influence factor is less than the second defrosting influence factor, the compressor frequency is controlled until the compressor frequency reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the indoor fan speed is controlled.

[0087] In the embodiment, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency can be adjusted step by step, thereby delaying the time of reducing the frosting probability of the outdoor heat exchanger. The first defrosting influence factor and the second defrosting influence factor can be used to determine the priority of controlling the indoor fan speed and the indoor fan speed. If the first defrosting influence factor is greater than the second defrosting influence factor, it indicates that the defrosting effect of adjusting the indoor fan speed is better than that of adjusting the compressor frequency, and the indoor fan speed is controlled first until the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the compressor frequency is controlled. If the first defrosting influence factor is less than the second defrosting influence factor, it indicates that the defrosting effect of adjusting the indoor fan speed is worse than that of adjusting the compressor frequency, and the compressor frequency is controlled first until the compressor frequency reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the indoor fan speed is controlled.

[0088] Optionally, the first heating influence factor of the indoor fan and the second heating influence factor of the compressor can also be obtained. If the first heating influence factor is greater than the second heating influence factor, it indicates that the heating effect of adjusting the indoor fan speed is better than that of adjusting the compressor frequency, and the indoor comfort is improved, and the indoor fan speed is controlled first until the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the compressor frequency is controlled. If the first heating influence factor is less than the second heating influence factor, it indicates that the heating effect of adjusting the indoor fan speed is worse than that of adjusting the compressor frequency, and the compressor frequency is controlled first until the compressor frequency reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the indoor fan speed is controlled.

[0089] Further, the first defrosting influence factor corresponding to the indoor fan speed and the second defrosting influence factor corresponding to the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can also be obtained, and the first heating influence factor corresponding to the indoor fan speed and the second heating influence factor corresponding to the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can also be obtained. The heating influence factor refers to a parameter capable of representing the influence degree of adjusting a single operating parameter on the comfort of the air conditioner. The heating influence factor and the defrosting influence factor can be determined in advance through experiments or theoretical derivation. The heating influence factors or the defrosting influence factors corresponding to different operating parameters, such as the outdoor fan speed, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency, are generally different.

[0090] Different weight values can be set for the heating influence factor and the defrosting influence factor due to different operating requirements. The first heating influence factor and the first defrosting influence factor of the indoor fan speed and the heating influence factor and the defrosting influence factor corresponding to the compressor frequency are weighted and summed by using the preset weight values, the first adjustment priority corresponding to the indoor fan speed and the second adjustment priority corresponding to the compressor frequency are obtained according to the weighted sum result, if the first adjustment priority is greater than the second adjustment priority, the indoor fan speed is controlled until the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the compressor frequency is controlled; if the first adjustment priority is less than the second adjustment priority, the compressor frequency is controlled until the compressor frequency reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the indoor fan speed is controlled.

[0091] In the technical solution disclosed in the embodiment, the adjustment priorities of the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency are determined by the defrosting influence factors corresponding to the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency, and after the target operation is adjusted to the threshold value according to the adjustment priorities, a new target operation is adjusted. Each time the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency are controlled, for example, the indoor fan speed or the compressor frequency is reduced once, the frosting probability can be reduced, which can reduce the frosting probability on the one hand and prolong the time for preventing frosting on the other hand, effectively prolong the frosting time and avoid making all operating parameters reach the adjustment threshold value to prevent frosting in advance.

[0092] Optionally, with reference to Figure 3 , based on any of the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner, the step S30 comprises:

[0093] In step S34, the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is obtained.

[0094] In the embodiment, the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner is obtained. The surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner should not be too high, otherwise the reliability of the air conditioner will be affected, causing the air conditioner to stop or malfunction.

[0095] Step S35, if the surface temperature is greater than the preset limit frequency temperature, the compressor frequency is controlled.

[0096] In the embodiment, the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is compared with the preset limit frequency temperature, which is related to the compressor and can be set according to the air conditioner or compressor model. After the compressor exhausts to the indoor heat exchanger, the indoor fan needs to have sufficient speed to dissipate the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant. If the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than the limit frequency temperature, the indoor fan speed cannot be reduced to affect the heat dissipation capacity of the indoor unit. Therefore, when the outdoor fan speed reaches the maximum speed and the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than the preset limit frequency temperature, the compressor frequency is controlled to reduce the compressor frequency of the air conditioner, and reducing the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can reduce the exhaust temperature, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0097] Step S36, if the surface temperature is less than or equal to the preset limit frequency temperature, the indoor fan speed is controlled until the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold, and then the compressor frequency is controlled.

[0098] In the embodiment, if the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is less than or equal to the preset limit frequency temperature, it indicates that the operation of the air conditioner is relatively stable, and the reliability is guaranteed. The indoor fan speed can be controlled to reduce the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner to prevent frosting, and reducing the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner can better guarantee the heating effect than reducing the compressor frequency. After the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold, the compressor frequency is controlled to reduce the compressor frequency of the air conditioner.

[0099] In order to better understand, some specific application scenarios are provided below:

[0100] Referring to Figure 5 After the air conditioner is operated in heating mode, the outdoor environment temperature is obtained. If the outdoor environment temperature < 4℃, the evaporating pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger is obtained. If the evaporating pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger < 0.65MPa is detected for 3min, it is determined that the frosting condition is met, and the outdoor fan speed is increased by one gear. If the outdoor environment temperature < 4℃, the evaporating pressure of the outdoor heat exchanger < 0.65MPa is detected for 3min, the outdoor fan speed is increased by one gear again, until the outdoor fan speed reaches the maximum speed.

[0101] If the outdoor fan speed reaches the maximum speed, but the outdoor ambient temperature is still less than 4℃, and the outdoor heat exchanger evaporating pressure is less than 0.65MPa for 3 minutes, the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner or the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can be reduced. The surface temperature Tintube of the indoor heat exchanger is obtained. If Tintube is greater than Tlimit frequency temperature, the compressor frequency of the air conditioner is reduced by one gear until the compressor frequency reaches the adjustment threshold. If Tintube is greater than or equal to Tlimit frequency temperature, the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner is reduced by one gear until the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold. If the indoor fan speed reaches the adjustment threshold, but the outdoor ambient temperature is still less than 4℃, and the outdoor heat exchanger evaporating pressure is less than 0.65MPa for 3 minutes, the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner or the compressor frequency of the air conditioner can be reduced.

[0102] In the technical solution disclosed in the embodiment, before the compressor frequency of the air conditioner is controlled, the size relationship between the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger and the preset limit frequency temperature is detected, so as to determine whether the indoor fan speed of the air conditioner can be reduced, thereby preventing frosting under the premise of ensuring safe and reliable operation of the air conditioner.

[0103] Optionally, based on any of the above embodiments, in still another embodiment of the control method of the air conditioner, after the step S30, the method further comprises:

[0104] If the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency both reach the adjustment threshold, the surface image of the outdoor heat exchanger is obtained.

[0105] The surface image is identified based on a frosting identification model to obtain a frosting identification result of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0106] According to the frosting identification result, the air conditioner is controlled to switch to the refrigeration mode for defrosting, and after successful defrosting, the outdoor fan speed, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency are set to initial values.

[0107] In this embodiment, if the frosting condition is always met, the air conditioner repeatedly performs increasing the outdoor fan speed, controlling the indoor fan speed to decrease or controlling the compressor frequency to decrease to prevent frosting until each of the operating parameters reaches an adjustment threshold. It should be noted that the adjustment threshold refers to the maximum threshold to which the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency can be adjusted. If the surface temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is greater than the frequency limiting temperature, in order to ensure the reliability of the air conditioner, the indoor fan speed cannot be controlled to decrease, and thus the indoor fan speed has reached the adjustment threshold. After reaching the adjustment threshold, if the air conditioner is still in the frosting environment, frosting may occur. An image acquisition device, such as an infrared image sensor, can be arranged near the outdoor heat exchanger to obtain the image of the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger. Alternatively, the surface image of the outdoor heat exchanger can be obtained at intervals after the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency both reach the adjustment threshold. A frosting identification model specially used for identifying the frosting condition of the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger is trained, the obtained surface image of the outdoor heat exchanger is input into the frosting identification model for identification, and a frosting identification result of the outdoor heat exchanger at the time of collecting the surface image is obtained. According to the frosting identification result, whether the outdoor heat exchanger is frosted and the frosting severity can be determined. If the outdoor heat exchanger is frosted, the air conditioner can be controlled to switch to the refrigeration mode for defrosting. In the refrigeration mode, the outdoor heat exchanger becomes a condenser and releases heat to the outside, which can quickly melt the surface frosting.

[0108] Further, the frosting severity can also be determined according to the frosting identification result, the compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and the indoor fan speed of the refrigeration mode can be determined according to the frosting severity and a preset comparison relationship, and the refrigeration mode is operated according to the compressor frequency, the outdoor fan speed and the indoor fan speed to accurately defrost.

[0109] After the refrigeration mode is operated, the frosting identification result can also be obtained by collecting the surface image of the outdoor heat exchanger, and it is further determined whether the defrosting is successful. After the defrosting is successful, the heating mode is switched back, the outdoor fan speed, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency are set to initial values, the initial values are the outdoor fan speed, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency when the air conditioner is normally operated before the operations of increasing the outdoor fan speed, controlling the indoor fan speed and controlling the compressor frequency are performed, and step S10 is re-executed.

[0110] In the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, after each operating parameter reaches the adjustment threshold, the frosting condition of the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger is accurately identified based on the surface image of the outdoor heat exchanger, and then the defrosting is accurately performed. Since the frosting period is delayed by gradually adjusting the outdoor fan speed, the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency to the threshold to prevent frosting, the defrosting period is prolonged, the defrosting operation is not frequently performed to affect the indoor temperature fluctuation, and the frosting condition is bottomed out for defrosting, thereby improving the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0111] The embodiment also provides a control device of an air conditioner, which can be integrated in the air conditioner. For example, as shown in Figure 6 The control device of the air conditioner can include:

[0112] The acquisition module 1001 is configured to acquire an outdoor environment temperature of the air conditioner and an evaporation pressure of an outdoor heat exchanger;

[0113] The first control module 1002 is configured to increase a rotation speed of an outdoor fan of the air conditioner if the outdoor environment temperature and the evaporation pressure meet a frosting condition.

[0114] The second control module 1003 is configured to control a rotation speed of an indoor fan of the air conditioner and a frequency of a compressor of the air conditioner if the rotation speed of the outdoor fan reaches a maximum rotation speed, so as to reduce a frosting probability of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0115] The second control module 1003 is further configured to acquire a first defrosting influence factor of the indoor fan and a second defrosting influence factor of the compressor;

[0116] If the first defrosting influence factor is greater than the second defrosting influence factor, the rotation speed of the indoor fan is controlled until the rotation speed of the indoor fan reaches an adjustment threshold, and then the frequency of the compressor is controlled.

[0117] If the first defrosting influence factor is less than the second defrosting influence factor, the frequency of the compressor is controlled until the frequency of the compressor reaches an adjustment threshold, and then the rotation speed of the indoor fan is controlled.

[0118] The second control module 1003 is further configured to

[0119] Acquire a surface temperature of an indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner;

[0120] If the surface temperature is greater than a preset frequency limiting temperature, the frequency of the compressor is controlled.

[0121] If the surface temperature is less than or equal to the preset frequency limiting temperature, the rotation speed of the indoor fan is controlled until the rotation speed of the indoor fan reaches an adjustment threshold, and then the frequency of the compressor is controlled.

[0122] The first control module 1002 is further configured to acquire the rotation speed of the outdoor fan and an environment humidity of the outdoor heat exchanger;

[0123] Determine a rotation speed change value of the rotation speed of the outdoor fan according to the environment humidity, the rotation speed of the outdoor fan and a preset comparison relationship;

[0124] Increase the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner according to the rotation speed change value.

[0125] The first control module 1002 is also used to acquire the rotational speed of the outdoor fan;

[0126] Based on the difference between the outdoor fan speed and the maximum speed, multiple adjustment time points and the speed change value corresponding to each adjustment time point are determined;

[0127] If the adjustment time point is reached, the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is increased according to the change in speed.

[0128] The air conditioner control device also includes a defrosting module, which is used to acquire a surface image of the outdoor heat exchanger if both the indoor fan speed and the compressor frequency reach the adjustment threshold.

[0129] The surface image is identified based on the frost recognition model to obtain the frost recognition result of the outdoor heat exchanger;

[0130] Based on the frost recognition result, the air conditioner is controlled to switch to cooling mode for defrosting, and after successful defrosting, the outdoor fan speed, the indoor fan speed, and the compressor frequency are set to their initial values.

[0131] The acquisition module 1001 is further configured to acquire the duration of the evaporation pressure being lower than the preset frosting pressure when the outdoor ambient temperature is less than or equal to the preset frosting temperature.

[0132] If the duration reaches the preset duration, the frosting condition is met.
