Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of frequency control technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner control method, apparatus, air conditioner, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In winter, when an air conditioner is running in heating mode, it operates at a higher frequency using open-loop control. However, when the room's demand load is low, or when the air conditioner restarts after a routine reverse defrost cycle, the outer loop temperature is low while the inner loop temperature is not. If the air conditioner is running at a higher frequency in open-loop control during normal heating mode, it can cause the indoor temperature to overheat. Furthermore, it can easily trigger the internal pipe temperature overload protection to reduce the frequency, or cause a significant frequency reduction only after the indoor temperature has overshooted, which is detrimental to energy conservation.

It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0053] This application provides an air conditioner control method, apparatus, air conditioner, and storage medium, which are described below.

[0054] The following section first introduces some basic concepts involved in the embodiments of this application:

[0055] An air conditioner generally consists of several main parts, including a cold / heat source unit, a cold / heat medium distribution system, terminal units, and other auxiliary equipment. The main components include the refrigeration unit, water pump, fan, and piping system. The terminal units are responsible for utilizing the distributed cold or heat to specifically process the air, ensuring that the air parameters of the target environment meet certain requirements.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram illustrating a scenario of the air conditioner control method provided in this application. The air conditioner control system may include an air conditioner 100 and a main control device 200. The air conditioner 100 and the main control device 200 can communicate with each other in any way, including but not limited to signal communication via electronic circuits or wireless signals. The wireless signals can be computer network communication using the TCP / IP protocol suite (TCP / IP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The air conditioner 100 can receive control signals from a remote control or control panel to perform a series of air conditioner functions such as cooling, heating, dehumidification, and dust removal. The air conditioner 100 can also receive instruction information sent by the main control device 200. The air conditioner 100 can perform a series of operations such as cooling, heating, dehumidification, and dust removal according to the corresponding instruction information, such as the air conditioner control method in this application.

[0057] In this embodiment of the application, the air conditioner 100 includes, but is not limited to, wall-mounted air conditioners, floor-standing air conditioners, window air conditioners, ceiling-mounted air conditioners, and recessed air conditioners.

[0058] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The application environment shown is merely one application scenario of the solution in this application and does not constitute a limitation on the application scenario of the solution in this application. Other application environments may include those that are more specific to this application. Figure 1 The number of more or fewer air conditioners and air conditioners shown, for example Figure 1 Only one air conditioner or air conditioner is shown in the figure. The air conditioner control system of this application may also include one or more air conditioners and air conditioners for performing the air conditioner control method of this application. The specific details are not limited here.

[0059] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main control device 200 may include any hardware device capable of data processing and instruction sending, such as a CPU or microcontroller embedded inside the air conditioner; no specific limitation is made here.

[0060] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the air conditioner control system shown is merely an example. The air conditioner control system and scenario described in this application embodiment are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of this application embodiment and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in this application embodiment. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of air conditioner control systems and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in this application embodiment are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the air conditioner control method in this application. The method is applied to a target air conditioner and may include the following steps 201-204:

[0062] S201, in response to the target air conditioner turning on its heating mode or restarting after the target air conditioner has stopped defrosting, detect the first temperature of the inner pipe of the target air conditioner and determine the first difference.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first difference is the difference between the first temperature and the second temperature. The first temperature is the initial temperature of the inner tube, and the second temperature is the upper limit temperature at which the temperature of the inner tube reaches the point where the anti-cold air is disengaged.

[0064] The initial temperature of the inner pipe is the temperature of the inner pipe when the air conditioner is turned on in heating mode or when the air conditioner is restarted after being stopped and defrosted.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the target air conditioner is turned on in heating mode, it generally enters the anti-cold air stage first. The fan only starts running at the set temperature after the temperature of the inner pipe rises to a certain temperature. In one possible implementation, the upper limit temperature at which the anti-cold air is exited is a fixed value.

[0066] S202, determine the first duration.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first duration is the time it takes for the temperature of the inner pipe to rise from a first temperature to a second temperature. For example, the first duration is the time from when the compressor of the target air conditioner starts running until the temperature of the inner pipe rises from the first temperature to the second temperature. For example, the unit of the first duration can be seconds (s), or other timing units; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0068] S203, determine the first weighting coefficient based on the first difference and the first duration.

[0069] In this embodiment of the application, determining the first weighting coefficient based on the first difference and the first duration includes:

[0070] The first weight coefficient is determined from the first set based on the first difference, the first duration, and the first mapping relationship.

[0071] The first set includes multiple weight coefficients, and the first mapping relationship is the mapping relationship between multiple first difference intervals, multiple first duration intervals, and multiple weight coefficients included in the first set.

[0072] For example, the first mapping relationship can be as shown in Table 1. For instance, the first difference is 25°C, the first duration is 75 seconds, and the first weighting coefficient is 0.9. It should be understood that the specific values ​​of the first duration, first difference, and first weighting coefficient shown in Table 1 are merely examples and can be other values, and do not limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application. As can be seen from Table 1, the smaller the first temperature difference, the smaller the first duration, and the smaller the first weighting coefficient.

[0073] Table 1

[0074]

[0075] S204, Correct the operating frequency of the target air conditioner according to the first weighting coefficient.

[0076] Through the above steps, the operating frequency of the target air conditioner can be corrected based on a first weighting coefficient determined by a first duration and a first difference. This method ensures that the air conditioner operates at the corrected frequency when heating mode is activated or when restarting after defrosting, thereby improving user comfort and contributing to energy savings.

[0077] Furthermore, optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner control method provided in this application embodiment further includes the following steps S205 and S206:

[0078] S205, detect the initial inner ring temperature and determine the second difference.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, the second difference is the difference between the initial inner ring temperature and the set temperature.

[0080] The initial inner ring temperature is the inner ring temperature at the moment the air conditioner is turned on in heating mode or restarted after being stopped for defrosting. The set temperature is the heating temperature set by the user.

[0081] S206, detect the outer ring temperature, and determine the second weighting coefficient based on the second difference and the outer ring temperature.

[0082] The outer ring temperature refers to the temperature at which the air conditioner is turned on in heating mode or restarted after being stopped for defrosting.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, determining the second weighting coefficient based on the second difference and the outer ring temperature includes:

[0084] The second weighting coefficient is determined from the second set based on the second difference, the outer ring temperature, and the second mapping relationship;

[0085] The second set includes multiple weighting coefficients, and the second mapping relationship is the mapping relationship between multiple second difference intervals, multiple outer ring temperature intervals, and multiple weighting coefficients included in the second set.

[0086] For example, the second mapping relationship can be as shown in Table 2. For instance, the second difference is 11°C, the outer ring temperature is 4°C, and the second weighting coefficient is 1. It should be understood that the specific values ​​of the second difference, outer ring temperature, and second weighting coefficient shown in Table 2 are merely examples and can be other values, and do not limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application. As can be seen from Table 2, the smaller the second difference, the higher the outer ring temperature, and the smaller the second weighting coefficient can be.

[0087] Table 2

[0088]

[0089] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, S204 can be replaced with:

[0090] S207, The operating frequency of the target air conditioner is corrected according to the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient.

[0091] Through the above steps, the operating frequency of the target air conditioner can be corrected based on the first weighting coefficient determined by the first duration and the first difference, and the second weighting coefficient determined by the second difference and the outer ring temperature. This allows the air conditioner to operate at the corrected frequency when the heating mode is turned on or when it restarts after defrosting, thereby improving user comfort and promoting energy conservation.

[0092] In this embodiment of the application, correcting the operating frequency of the target air conditioner according to a first weighting coefficient and a second weighting coefficient may specifically include:

[0093] The load index coefficient of the target room is determined based on the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient.

[0094] The load type of the target room is determined based on the load index coefficient of the target room.

[0095] Adjust the operating frequency of the target air conditioner according to the load type of the target room.

[0096] The target room is the room where the target air conditioner is located;

[0097] In one possible embodiment, the load index coefficient of the target room can be the product of a first weighting coefficient and a second weighting coefficient.

[0098] In one possible embodiment, determining the load type of the target room based on the load index coefficient of the target room may include:

[0099] The load type of the target room is determined from the third set based on the load index coefficient of the target room and the third mapping relationship;

[0100] The third set includes multiple load types, and the third mapping relationship is the mapping relationship between multiple load index coefficient ranges and multiple load types included in the third set.

[0101] For example, multiple load types may include light load condition 1, light load condition 2, light load condition 3, and boundary load condition.

[0102] For example, the third mapping relationship can be as shown in Table 3. For instance, if the load index coefficient ζ of the target room is 0.5, then the load type of the target room is light load condition 1. It should be understood that the room load index coefficients and room load types shown in Table 3 are merely examples, and may be other types or other index coefficients, and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.

[0103] Table 3

[0104] Room load index coefficient Room load type ζ < 0.6 Light load condition 1 0.6 ≤ ζ < 0.8 Light load condition 2 0.8≤ζ<1 Light load condition 3 1≤ζ Boundary load condition

[0105] Furthermore, the operating frequency of the target air conditioner can be adjusted according to the load type of the target room. This adjustment includes:

[0106] The first frequency correction upper limit coefficient is determined from the fourth set based on the load type of the target room and the fourth mapping relationship;

[0107] The operating frequency of the target air conditioner is adjusted according to the upper limit coefficient of the first frequency correction.

[0108] The fourth set includes multiple frequency correction upper limit coefficients, and the fourth mapping relationship is the mapping relationship between the multiple load types included in the third set and the multiple frequency correction upper limit coefficients included in the fourth set.

[0109] For example, the fourth mapping relationship can be as shown in Table 4. For instance, if the target room's load type is light load condition 1, the first frequency correction upper limit coefficient can be 0.8. Here, the first frequency correction upper limit coefficient is the ratio between the target air conditioner's correction frequency upper limit and the target air conditioner's normal frequency. It should be understood that the room load types and frequency correction upper limit coefficients shown in Table 4 are merely examples, and other room load types and other frequency correction upper limit coefficients can also be used, and do not limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application.

[0110] Table 4

[0111] Room load type Frequency correction upper limit coefficient Light load condition 1 0.8 Light load condition 2 0.9 Light load condition 3 0.95 Boundary load condition 1 (i.e., no correction)

[0112] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, correcting the operating frequency of the target air conditioner according to the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient includes:

[0113] If the first condition is met, the operating frequency of the air conditioner is corrected according to the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient. The first condition can be that the second difference is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0114] For example, the first threshold can be 10°C, or it can be other values, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0115] Optionally, the air conditioner control method provided in this application embodiment further includes:

[0116] If the second condition is met, the operation frequency of the target air conditioner is corrected. The second condition is that the operating length of the target air conditioner is greater than or equal to the second duration, and the second difference is greater than or equal to the second threshold. In addition, the operation frequency of the target air conditioner is greater than or equal to the product of the normal operating frequency of the target air conditioner and the first frequency correction upper limit coefficient.

[0117] For example, the second duration can be 40 minutes (min), or the second duration can be other values, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0118] For example, the second threshold can be 0.5℃, or the second threshold can be other values, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

[0119] The air conditioner control method described above can adjust the operating frequency of the target air conditioner based on the room load when the target air conditioner is turned on in heating mode or restarted after defrosting. This is particularly useful when the initial inner loop temperature is small compared to the set temperature. While the outer loop temperature is still relatively low, the open-loop control operates at the upper frequency limit to ensure comfort. However, due to the light room load, the temperature rises quickly, reaching the set temperature rapidly or even over-adjusting. Furthermore, frequency reduction typically has upper and lower limits, making it difficult to respond quickly and promptly, resulting in discomfort from overheating and energy waste. Therefore, the air conditioner control method provided in this application, which adjusts the air conditioner's operating frequency, ensures comfort during the initial heating phase under light load conditions, eliminates over-adjustment, and promotes energy conservation.

[0120] Figure 4 The air conditioner control method provided in this application embodiment will be fully described using a specific example. For example... Figure 4 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0121] Step 1: Turn on the heating mode of the target air conditioner, or turn it off and defrost and then restart it.

[0122] Step 2: Detect the initial inner pipe temperature, initial inner ring temperature, and outer ring temperature of the target air conditioner, and determine the first difference, the second difference, and the first duration t.

[0123] Step 3: If the second difference is greater than 10°C, then operate the target air conditioner at its normal frequency.

[0124] If the second difference is ≤10℃, proceed to step four.

[0125] Step 4: Determine the first weighting coefficient and the second weighting coefficient, and then calculate the target room load index coefficient ζ.

[0126] If ζ < 0.6, then the upper limit coefficient for frequency correction is determined to be 0.85;

[0127] If 0.6 ≤ ζ < 0.8, then the upper limit coefficient for frequency correction is determined to be 0.9;

[0128] If 1 ≤ ζ, then the upper limit coefficient for frequency correction is determined to be 0.95;

[0129] If ζ > 1, then the target air conditioner will operate at its normal frequency.

[0130] Step 5: Run the target air conditioner according to the corresponding frequency adjustment upper limit coefficient.

[0131] Step 6: If the target air conditioner runs for ≥40 minutes, the second difference is >0.5℃, and the target air conditioner's operating frequency is equal to the product of the target air conditioner's normal frequency and the corresponding frequency correction upper limit coefficient, then exit frequency correction and run the target air conditioner at the normal frequency; otherwise, continue to run the target air conditioner at the corrected frequency.
