[0023] This application provides a refrigerant leak detection method, apparatus, system, and computer-readable storage medium.
[0024] Specifically, this embodiment will be described from the perspective of a refrigerant leak detection system, which can be integrated into a refrigerant leak detection device. That is, the refrigerant leak detection method of this embodiment can be executed by the refrigerant leak detection system.
[0025] The refrigerant leakage detection method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to equipment such as air conditioners and refrigerators that rely on refrigerant to operate.
[0026] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the process. This embodiment uses a refrigerant leak detection system as an example. It should be noted that the order of description in the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments. Although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown in the drawings.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 An embodiment of the refrigerant leak detection method is proposed, which includes the following steps:
[0028] Step 101: Obtain the target ambient temperature;
[0029] Step 102: Based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information, obtain the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature, and perform refrigerant leakage detection based on the target equipment operating condition information to obtain the refrigerant leakage detection result.
[0030] Step 103: Obtain historical detection records, and determine the target detection result based on the refrigerant leak detection results and the historical detection records.
[0031] In this embodiment, during the operation of equipment such as air conditioners and refrigerators, the refrigerant leak detection system acquires the current ambient temperature as the target ambient temperature. Based on the mapping relationship between preset ambient temperature ranges and preset equipment operating condition information, the system obtains the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature, and performs refrigerant leak detection based on this information to obtain the refrigerant leak detection result. The system also acquires historical detection records and determines the target detection result based on the refrigerant leak detection result and the historical detection records. It is understood that the preset ambient temperature range includes multiple ranges, typically three, and the preset equipment operating condition information usually includes information on various operating conditions, with each ambient temperature range having its corresponding equipment operating condition information.
[0032] This embodiment's refrigerant leak detection system acquires the target ambient temperature; based on a preset mapping relationship between ambient temperature ranges and preset equipment operating condition information, it acquires the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature, and performs refrigerant leak detection based on the target equipment operating condition information to obtain the refrigerant leak detection result; it acquires historical detection records, and determines the target detection result based on the refrigerant leak detection result and the historical detection records. By using the mapping relationship between ambient temperature ranges and equipment operating condition information to acquire the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature for refrigerant leak detection, the system avoids the influence of different ambient temperatures on refrigerant leak detection and improves the accuracy of refrigerant leak detection.
[0033] Specifically, the following provides a detailed explanation of each step:
[0034] Step 101: Obtain the target ambient temperature;
[0035] In this step, air conditioners, refrigerators and other equipment are equipped with ambient temperature sensors. When the refrigerant leak detection system receives a defrosting command, it acquires data from the ambient temperature sensors and can determine the target ambient temperature.
[0036] Step 102: Based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information, obtain the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature, and perform refrigerant leakage detection based on the target equipment operating condition information to obtain the refrigerant leakage detection result.
[0037] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system first matches the target ambient temperature with the preset ambient temperature range based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information, thereby determining the ambient temperature range corresponding to the target ambient temperature. Then, based on the ambient temperature range corresponding to the target ambient temperature, it determines the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature. After determining the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature, the refrigerant leak detection system performs refrigerant leak detection based on the target equipment operating condition information to obtain the refrigerant leak detection result.
[0038] Specifically, step 102 includes:
[0039] Step 1021: If the target ambient temperature belongs to the first ambient temperature range, then according to the mapping relationship, obtain the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature to obtain the evaporator temperature information; perform refrigerant leakage detection based on the evaporator temperature information and the target ambient temperature to obtain the refrigerant leakage detection result;
[0040] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system matches the target ambient temperature with the preset ambient temperature range based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information. If the ambient temperature range corresponding to the target ambient temperature is determined to be the first ambient temperature range in the preset ambient temperature range, the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature is obtained as the evaporator temperature information based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information. The refrigerant leak detection system performs refrigerant leak detection based on the evaporator temperature information and the target ambient temperature to obtain the refrigerant leak detection result.
[0041] Specifically, the steps of performing refrigerant leak detection based on the evaporator temperature information and the target ambient temperature to obtain the refrigerant leak detection result include:
[0042] Step 10211: Obtain the reference temperature of the evaporator inner tube and the reference ambient temperature at the time of startup;
[0043] In this step, when the air conditioner, refrigerator and other equipment are turned on, the evaporator inner tube temperature at the time of startup is determined as the evaporator inner tube reference temperature, and the ambient temperature at the time of startup is determined as the reference ambient temperature, and stored in the storage device; after the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the target ambient temperature belongs to the first ambient temperature range, it obtains the evaporator inner tube reference temperature and the reference ambient temperature at the time of startup from the storage device.
[0044] Step 10212: Calculate the first difference between the evaporator inner tube temperature and the target ambient temperature, the second difference between the evaporator inner tube reference temperature and the reference ambient temperature, and the third difference between the evaporator inner tube temperature and the evaporator inner tube reference temperature in the evaporator temperature information.
[0045] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system calculates the first difference between the evaporator inner tube temperature and the target ambient temperature, the second difference between the evaporator inner tube reference temperature and the reference ambient temperature, and the third difference between the evaporator inner tube temperature and the evaporator inner tube reference temperature.
[0046] Step 10213: If the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference satisfy the first preset condition, then the refrigerant leakage detection result is a refrigerant leak.
[0047] In this step, after the refrigerant leak detection system determines the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference, it calculates the target difference between the first difference and the second difference, compares the target difference with the first difference threshold, and if the target difference is less than or equal to the first difference threshold, it compares the third difference with the second difference threshold. If the third difference is less than or equal to the second difference threshold, it is determined that the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference meet the first preset condition, and the refrigerant leak detection result is a refrigerant leak.
[0048] Step 10214: If the first difference, the second difference, or the third difference does not meet the first preset condition, then the refrigerant leakage detection result is that the refrigerant has not leaked.
[0049] In this step, after the refrigerant leak detection system determines the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference, it calculates the target difference between the first difference and the second difference. This target difference is then compared with a first difference threshold. If the target difference is greater than the first difference threshold, it is determined that the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference do not meet the first preset condition, and the refrigerant leak detection result is "no refrigerant leak." If the target difference is less than or equal to the first difference threshold, the third difference is compared with the second difference threshold. If the third difference is greater than the second difference threshold, it is determined that the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference do not meet the first preset condition, and the refrigerant leak detection result is "no refrigerant leak."
[0050] Step 1022: If the target ambient temperature belongs to the second ambient temperature range, then according to the preset mapping relationship between the ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information, the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature is obtained as equipment electrical information and compressor exhaust temperature; refrigerant leakage detection is performed based on the equipment electrical information and the compressor exhaust temperature to obtain the refrigerant leakage detection result;
[0051] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system matches the target ambient temperature with the preset ambient temperature range based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information. If the ambient temperature range corresponding to the target ambient temperature is determined to be the second ambient temperature range in the preset ambient temperature range, the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature is obtained as the equipment electrical information and the compressor exhaust temperature based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information. The refrigerant leak detection system performs refrigerant leak detection based on the equipment electrical information and the compressor exhaust temperature to obtain the refrigerant leak detection result.
[0052] Specifically, refrigerant leakage detection is performed based on the electrical information of the equipment and the discharge temperature of the compressor to obtain refrigerant leakage detection results, including:
[0053] Step 10221: If the electrical information of the equipment meets the second preset condition, then determine the compressor winding temperature based on the compressor exhaust temperature and the target ambient temperature;
[0054] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system compares the equipment's electrical information with the second preset condition to determine whether the electrical information meets the second preset condition. If the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the equipment's electrical information meets the second preset condition, it determines the compressor winding temperature based on the compressor discharge temperature and the target ambient temperature. Specifically, a temperature sensor is installed in the compressor's discharge port. The refrigerant leak detection system determines the compressor discharge temperature based on this temperature sensor, and then determines the compressor winding temperature based on the compressor discharge temperature and the target ambient temperature using a calculation formula. The formula for calculating the compressor winding temperature is: Tc = Ta + (Tr - Ta) / 0.95, where Tc represents the compressor winding temperature, Ta represents the target ambient temperature, Tr represents the compressor discharge temperature, and 0.95 is the fan efficiency coefficient.
[0055] Step 10222: If the compressor winding temperature is greater than or equal to a preset winding temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leakage detection result is determined to be refrigerant leakage.
[0056] In this step, after determining the compressor winding temperature, the refrigerant leak detection system compares the compressor winding temperature with a preset winding temperature threshold. If the compressor winding temperature is greater than or equal to the preset winding temperature threshold, the refrigerant leak detection result is determined to be a refrigerant leak.
[0057] Step 10223: If the compressor winding temperature is less than the preset winding temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leakage detection result is determined to be no refrigerant leakage.
[0058] In this step, if the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the compressor winding temperature is less than the preset winding temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leak detection result is determined to be a refrigerant leak.
[0059] Furthermore, the equipment electrical information includes voltage, current, and power values. The step of determining that the equipment electrical information meets preset conditions includes:
[0060] Step a: If the voltage value is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold and the power value is less than the preset power threshold, then it is determined that the electrical information of the device meets the second preset condition.
[0061] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system first compares the voltage value with a preset voltage threshold. If the voltage value is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, it then compares the power value with a preset power threshold. If the power value is less than the preset power threshold, it determines that the electrical information of the equipment meets the second preset condition.
[0062] Step b: If the voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold and the current value is less than the preset current threshold, then it is determined that the electrical information of the device meets the second preset condition.
[0063] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system first compares the voltage value with a preset voltage threshold. If the voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold, it then compares the current value with a preset current threshold. If the current value is less than the preset current threshold, it determines that the electrical information of the equipment meets the second preset condition.
[0064] Step 1023: If the target ambient temperature belongs to the third ambient temperature range, then according to the mapping relationship, obtain the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature as evaporator temperature information; perform refrigerant leakage detection based on the evaporator temperature information to obtain the refrigerant leakage detection result.
[0065] In this step, the refrigerant leak detection system matches the target ambient temperature with the preset ambient temperature range based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information. If the ambient temperature range corresponding to the target ambient temperature is determined to be the third ambient temperature range in the preset ambient temperature range, then the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature is obtained as the evaporator temperature information based on the mapping relationship between the preset ambient temperature range and the preset equipment operating condition information. The refrigerant leak detection system performs refrigerant leak detection based on the evaporator temperature information and obtains the refrigerant leak detection result.
[0066] Specifically, refrigerant leakage detection is performed based on the evaporator temperature information to obtain refrigerant leakage detection results, including:
[0067] Step 10231: Compare the evaporator outlet temperature in the evaporator temperature information with the preset outlet temperature threshold.
[0068] In this step, after obtaining the evaporator temperature information, the refrigerant leak detection system compares the evaporator outlet temperature in the evaporator temperature information with the preset outlet temperature threshold.
[0069] Step 10232: If the temperature at the evaporator outlet is greater than the preset outlet temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leak detection result is determined to be a refrigerant leak.
[0070] In this step, if the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the evaporator outlet temperature is greater than the preset outlet temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leak detection result is determined to be a refrigerant leak.
[0071] Step 10233: If the temperature at the evaporator outlet is not greater than the preset outlet temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leak detection result is determined to be no refrigerant leak.
[0072] In this step, if the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the evaporator outlet temperature is not greater than the preset outlet temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leak detection result is determined to be a refrigerant leak.
[0073] Step 103: Obtain historical detection records, and determine the target detection result based on the refrigerant leak detection results and the historical detection records.
[0074] In this step, after confirming that the refrigerant leak detection result is a refrigerant leak, the refrigerant leak detection system acquires historical detection records and determines the target detection result based on the refrigerant leak detection result and the historical detection records.
[0075] Specifically, step 103 includes:
[0076] Step 1031: If the refrigerant leak detection result is a refrigerant leak, then update the historical refrigerant leak duration and historical refrigerant leak count in the historical detection record to obtain the target refrigerant leak duration and target refrigerant leak count;
[0077] In this step, if the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the refrigerant leak is detected as a refrigerant leak, it updates the historical refrigerant leak duration and historical refrigerant leak count in the historical detection records to obtain the target refrigerant leak duration and target refrigerant leak count. It can be understood that the historical refrigerant leak duration is the total duration for which a refrigerant leak was detected as a leak in the past, and the historical refrigerant leak count is the total number of times a refrigerant leak was detected as a leak in the past. For example, if the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the refrigerant leak is detected as a leak, it obtains the first duration of the currently determined refrigerant leak, adds the first duration to the historical refrigerant leak duration to obtain the target refrigerant leak duration, and increments the historical refrigerant leak count by one to obtain the target refrigerant leak count.
[0078] Step 1032: If the target refrigerant leakage duration is less than the preset duration threshold, or the target refrigerant leakage count is less than the preset count threshold, then the target detection result is determined to be no refrigerant leakage.
[0079] Step 1033: If the target refrigerant leakage duration is greater than the preset duration threshold, and the target refrigerant leakage count is greater than the preset count threshold, then the target detection result is determined to be refrigerant leakage.
[0080] In steps 1032 to 1033, if the refrigerant leak detection system determines that the target refrigerant leak duration is less than a preset duration threshold, or the target refrigerant leak count is less than a preset count threshold, then the target detection result is determined to be no refrigerant leak; if the target refrigerant leak duration is determined to be greater than a preset duration threshold for comparison, and the target refrigerant leak count is greater than a preset count threshold, then the target detection result is determined to be a refrigerant leak.
[0081] This embodiment's refrigerant leak detection system acquires the target ambient temperature; based on a preset mapping relationship between ambient temperature ranges and preset equipment operating condition information, it acquires the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature, and performs refrigerant leak detection based on the target equipment operating condition information to obtain the refrigerant leak detection result; it acquires historical detection records, and determines the target detection result based on the refrigerant leak detection result and the historical detection records. By using the mapping relationship between ambient temperature ranges and equipment operating condition information to acquire the target equipment operating condition information corresponding to the target ambient temperature for refrigerant leak detection, the system avoids the influence of different ambient temperatures on refrigerant leak detection and improves the accuracy of refrigerant leak detection.

[0093] If the first difference, the second difference, and the third difference satisfy the first preset condition, then the refrigerant leak detection result is a refrigerant leak.
[0094] If the first difference, the second difference, or the third difference does not meet the first preset condition, the refrigerant leakage detection result is that there is no refrigerant leakage.

[0105] If the evaporator outlet temperature is not greater than the preset outlet temperature threshold, then the refrigerant leak detection result is determined to be no refrigerant leak.
[0106] In an optional example, determining the cell is also used for:
[0107] If the refrigerant leak detection result is a refrigerant leak, then update the historical refrigerant leak duration and historical refrigerant leak count in the historical detection record to obtain the target refrigerant leak duration and target refrigerant leak count;
[0108] If the duration of the target refrigerant leak is less than the preset duration threshold, or the number of times the target refrigerant leaks is less than the preset number of times threshold, then the target detection result is determined to be no refrigerant leak.
[0109] If the duration of the target refrigerant leak is greater than the preset duration threshold, and the number of target refrigerant leaks is greater than the preset number of leaks threshold, then the target detection result is determined to be a refrigerant leak.
