[0002] An air conditioner, or air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow of the air inside a building or structure. An air conditioner generally includes components such as a compressor, condenser, evaporator, four-way valve, and one-way valve, which are typically connected by piping.

[0003] Currently, air conditioner indoor unit platforms typically sample the inner pipe temperature using external thermocouples. The voltage fed back from the thermocouple to the chip is converted based on pre-stored data, and then the current inner pipe temperature is output. However, because the thermocouple sampling temperature of the inner pipe reflects the temperature of the thermocouple body closest to the condenser copper pipe, there is a heat transfer process and heat loss between the copper pipe and the thermocouple. This results in a certain deviation between the actual voltage fed back and the actual pipe temperature. Consequently, the air conditioner cannot respond promptly to sudden increases in load, leading to air conditioner malfunction. Summary of the Invention

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides an air conditioner control method, comprising:

[0044] S400 determines the rate of change of the rate of temperature rise when the rate of temperature rise of the air conditioner's internal pipe is less than a first threshold.

[0045] The temperature of the air conditioner's inner pipe is collected by thermocouples installed inside the inner pipe. The rate of change of the rate of rise is the derivative of the rate of rise, i.e., the acceleration of the rate of rise. The rate of rise is the numerical change in temperature collected by the thermocouple per unit time.

[0046] The first threshold is a pre-stored value in the air conditioner control center. When the rate of increase is less than this pre-stored value, the rate of change of the rate of increase is determined.

[0047] The S500 determines the temperature threshold that triggers high-temperature protection based on the rate of change of the ascent speed.

[0048] Specifically, when the rate of temperature rise of the inner pipe is less than the first threshold, the temperature threshold that triggers the high-temperature protection of the air conditioner needs to be redefined. That is, the temperature threshold at this time is related to the rate of change of the temperature rise.

[0049] S600 determines whether the air conditioner should activate high-temperature protection based on the internal pipe temperature and temperature threshold.

[0050] S610: If the temperature of the inner pipe is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the air conditioner will be controlled to activate the high temperature protection.

[0051] High-temperature protection involves forcibly reducing the air conditioner's operating load when the internal pipe temperature reaches a certain level. This can be achieved by reducing the compressor's operating frequency to decrease heat generation and prevent overheating and potential runaway. Therefore, based on the temperature threshold determined by the rate of change of the temperature rise, when the internal pipe temperature is greater than or equal to the threshold, it indicates that the air conditioner has reached a point where high-temperature protection needs to be activated, thus triggering the protection mechanism.

[0052] Based on the above description, it can be understood that the air conditioner control method includes determining a temperature threshold for triggering high-temperature protection based on the rate of change of the rising rate of the inner pipe temperature when the rising rate of the inner pipe temperature is less than a first threshold. The newly determined temperature threshold is compared with the inner pipe temperature to determine the air conditioner and then control the air conditioner to activate high-temperature protection under appropriate conditions, reduce the load, and thus avoid air conditioner malfunction caused by thermocouple acquisition errors.

[0053] In some embodiments, S500, determining the temperature threshold for triggering high-temperature protection based on the rate of change of the rate of rise includes:

[0054] S510 determines whether to compensate for the baseline threshold based on the rate of change of the ascent speed and the second threshold.

[0055] The second threshold is a fixed value pre-existing in the control center.

[0056] The baseline threshold is a fixed value pre-stored in the control center. Under normal circumstances, the default baseline threshold is the limit value that triggers the air conditioner's high-temperature protection. That is, when the internal pipe temperature is greater than or equal to this limit value, the air conditioner needs to activate the high-temperature protection; when the internal pipe temperature is less than this limit value, the high-temperature protection does not need to be activated.

[0057] S512, if the rate of change of the rising speed is greater than or equal to the second threshold, then the reference threshold is compensated to obtain the temperature threshold.

[0058] If the rate of change of the rising speed is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that the rate of change of the rising speed is large and the overall temperature will change faster and faster. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate the reference threshold to avoid being unable to react to the sudden increase in load due to thermocouple acquisition errors. Based on the current inner tube temperature, the compensated reference threshold can be used for comparison and judgment to obtain a more accurate judgment result.

[0059] S514, if the rate of change of the rising speed is less than the second threshold, then the reference threshold is determined to be the temperature threshold.

[0060] Among them, referring to the case where the rate of change of the rising speed is greater than or equal to the second threshold, if the rate of change of the rising speed is less than the second threshold, it means that the change of the rising speed is still within the controllable range, and the change of temperature is also within the controllable range. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the benchmark threshold, and the benchmark threshold can be directly used as the temperature threshold.

[0061] In some embodiments, S512, if the rate of change of the rising speed is greater than or equal to the second threshold, then the reference threshold is compensated to obtain the temperature threshold, including:

[0062] S5120 determines the compensation value based on the rate of change of the ascent speed.

[0063] The compensation value is determined based on the rate of change of the ascent speed, either through relevant formulas and parameters or by using a pre-stored relational table. For example, the relational table includes multiple compensation values ​​and multiple ranges of the rate of change of the ascent speed. Each range corresponds to a compensation value. The range corresponding to the current rate of change of the ascent speed can be determined, and then the corresponding compensation value can be determined based on the range.

[0064] S5121, determine the temperature threshold based on the compensation value and the reference threshold.

[0065] Wherein, temperature threshold = reference threshold - compensation value, and both the reference threshold and compensation value are positive numbers. It can be understood that since the rate of change of the rising speed is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the temperature change will accelerate. However, due to the delay in thermocouple data acquisition, it is necessary to subtract the compensation value from the reference threshold to reduce the limit value and compensate for the error caused by the delay.

[0066] In some embodiments, S5121, determining the temperature threshold based on the compensation value and the reference threshold includes:

[0067] The compensation value is determined based on the rate of change of the ascent speed, the specific heat capacity of the inner tube, and the mass of the thermocouple.

[0068] The compensation value is calculated as follows: Compensation value = Coefficient * Rate of change of rising speed * Specific heat capacity of inner tube * Mass of thermocouple. That is, Q = H·ΔA·C·m. Here, Q is the compensation value, H is the coefficient, ΔA is the rate of change of rising speed, C is the specific heat capacity of inner tube, and m is the mass of thermocouple. H, C, and m are all fixed values ​​pre-stored in the air conditioner control center.

[0069] H is a coefficient, typically taken as 0.3.

[0070] In some embodiments, the control method for an air conditioner further includes:

[0071] S300: When the rising speed is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the expansion valve of the air conditioner is controlled to increase its opening.

[0072] When the rate of increase exceeds the first threshold, it indicates that the temperature of the inner pipe is changing very rapidly. In order to avoid being unable to react to the sudden increase in load by judging the temperature of the inner pipe and the temperature threshold, when the rate of increase exceeds the first threshold, the load of the air conditioner is reduced in advance by increasing the opening of the expansion valve, so as to avoid the situation where the sudden increase in load cannot be reacted to due to temperature error.

[0073] In some embodiments, S300, when the rising speed is greater than or equal to a first threshold, controlling the expansion valve of the air conditioner to increase its opening includes:

[0074] The increase in the opening degree of the expansion valve is determined based on the difference between the rising speed and the second threshold.

[0075] The increase in opening refers to the change in the opening of the expansion valve. If the original opening is 20 and the opening is increased to 45, then the increase in opening is 25.

[0076] When the rising speed is greater than or equal to the second threshold, the greater the difference between the rising speed and the second threshold, the faster the temperature of the inner tube changes. Therefore, the expansion valve needs to increase its opening degree. In other words, the greater the difference between the rising speed and the second threshold, the greater the increase in the opening degree of the expansion valve.

[0077] Generally, in some embodiments, the control center pre-stores a relationship table, which includes multiple difference range intervals and multiple increase degrees, with each difference range interval corresponding to an increase degree. For example, if the difference between the rising speed and the second threshold is within a difference range interval, the corresponding increase degree can be determined. The opening of the expansion valve can then be adjusted according to the increase degree.

[0078] In some embodiments, the air conditioner control method further includes;

[0079] S100 performs two temperature samplings on the internal pipe of the air conditioner within a preset time period.

[0080] The two temperature sampling points are the start and end times of a preset time period, which makes it easy to determine the changes in the inner tube temperature during that time period.

[0081] In general, the temperature sampling frequency of the inner tube is no less than 5000Hz to ensure data accuracy.

[0082] S110 determines the rising rate based on the inner tube temperature sampled within a preset time period.

[0083] The rate of increase is the change in temperature per unit time.

[0084] S120, determine the rate of change of the rate of ascent based on the rate of ascent.

[0085] The rate of change of the rate of ascent is the derivative of the rate of ascent, which is also the rate of change of the rate of ascent.

[0086] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an air conditioner control device 10, including an acquisition module 200, a calculation module 300, and a control module 100. The acquisition module 200 is used to acquire the rate of change of the rising speed of the inner pipe temperature. The calculation module 300 is used to determine the temperature threshold that triggers high-temperature protection of the air conditioner. The control module is used to determine whether the air conditioner should activate high-temperature protection based on the inner pipe temperature and the temperature threshold. The control module 100 is further used to control the air conditioner to activate high-temperature protection when the inner pipe temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold.

[0087] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, which may include components such as a processor 601 with one or more processing cores, a memory 602 with one or more computer-readable storage media, a power supply 603, and an input unit 604. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-described structure of the air conditioner does not constitute a limitation on the air conditioner, and it may include more or fewer components, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements. Wherein:

[0088] The processor 601 is the control center of the air conditioner. It connects to various parts of the air conditioner via various interfaces and lines. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 602, and by calling data stored in the memory 602, it performs various functions and processes data, thereby providing overall monitoring of the air conditioner. Optionally, the processor 601 may include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor 601 may integrate an application processor 601 and a modem processor 601. The application processor 601 mainly handles the operating system, user interface, and computer programs, while the modem processor 601 mainly handles wireless communication. It is understood that the modem processor 601 may also not be integrated into the processor 601.

[0089] The memory 602 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 601 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory. The memory may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area. The program storage area may store the operating system, computer programs required for at least one function (such as sound playback function, image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created according to the use of the server, etc. In addition, the memory may include high-speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage device. Accordingly, the memory may also include a memory controller to provide the processor 601 with access to the memory.

[0090] The air conditioner also includes a power supply 603 that supplies power to various components. Preferably, the power supply 603 can be logically connected to the processor 601 through a power management system, thereby enabling functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system. The power supply may also include one or more DC or AC power supplies, a recharging system, a power fault detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator, or any other components.

[0091] The air conditioner may also include an input unit 604, which can be used to receive input digital or character information, and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control.

[0092] Although not shown, the air conditioner may also include a display unit, etc., which will not be described in detail here. Specifically, in this embodiment, the processor 601 in the air conditioner loads the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more computer programs into the memory 602 according to the following instructions, and the processor 601 runs the computer programs stored in the memory 602 to perform the following steps:

[0093] When the rate of temperature rise of the internal pipe of the air conditioner is less than the first threshold, the rate of change of the rate of rise is determined.

[0094] The temperature threshold for triggering high-temperature protection is determined based on the rate of change of the ascent speed.

[0095] Determine whether the air conditioner's high-temperature protection is activated based on the internal pipe temperature and temperature threshold.

[0096] If the temperature of the inner pipe is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the air conditioner will activate its high-temperature protection function.

[0097] This air conditioner determines the temperature threshold that triggers high-temperature protection when the rate of increase in the internal pipe temperature is less than a first threshold, based on the rate of change of the rate of increase. By comparing the newly determined temperature threshold with the internal pipe temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to activate high-temperature protection under appropriate conditions, thereby reducing the load and avoiding air conditioner malfunction caused by thermocouple sampling errors.

[0098] Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in any of the methods in the above embodiments can be performed by a computer program or by a computer program controlling related hardware. The computer program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium and loaded and executed by the processor 601.

[0099] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which is executed and loaded by a processor to perform the following steps;

[0100] When the rate of temperature rise of the internal pipe of the air conditioner is less than the first threshold, the rate of change of the rate of rise is determined.

[0101] The temperature threshold for triggering high-temperature protection is determined based on the rate of change of the ascent speed.

[0103] If the temperature of the inner pipe is greater than or equal to the temperature threshold, the air conditioner will activate its high-temperature protection function.

[0104] Through the above steps, when the rate of increase of the inner pipe temperature is less than the first threshold, the temperature threshold for triggering high-temperature protection is determined based on the rate of change of the rate of increase. The newly determined temperature threshold is compared with the inner pipe temperature to determine the appropriate conditions for the air conditioner to activate high-temperature protection and reduce the load, thereby avoiding air conditioner malfunction caused by thermocouple acquisition errors.
