[0038] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 The air conditioner 1 generally includes a circulation loop 20. The circulation loop 20 includes a compressor 21, an outdoor heat exchanger 22, a throttling device 23, an indoor heat exchanger 24, and a four-way valve 25. The throttling device 23 includes an electronic expansion valve (not shown in the figure). The air conditioner 1 also includes an electronic control device (not shown in the figure) for controlling the operation of the circulation loop 20, and the electronic control device includes a processor. The processor is used to control the compressor 21, adjust the electronic expansion valve, and other electronic control components, so as to realize various functions of the air conditioner 1.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the exhaust state of the compressor can be stably judged by the target adjustment parameter, so that the operation parameter of the air conditioner can be more reliably adjusted. Avoiding the fluctuation of the compressor exhaust temperature or the delay of the compressor exhaust temperature reflecting the exhaust state of the compressor, so as to accurately and stably determine the exhaust state of the compressor, thereby reducing the frequency of the compressor shutdown, and further improving the stability of the air conditioner operation.

[0041] In combinationFigure 1 The air conditioner, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for an air conditioner.

[0042] As Figure 2 shown, the method comprises:

[0043] S201, the processor obtains the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the air conditioner.

[0044] S202, the processor determines the target adjustment parameter of the air conditioner according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor.

[0045] S203, the processor adjusts the operating parameter of the air conditioner according to the target adjustment parameter.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the target adjustment parameter of the air conditioner is determined by the exhaust temperature of the compressor, and the exhaust state of the compressor is reflected by the target adjustment parameter, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the judgment parameter. Therefore, according to the target adjustment parameter, the operating parameter of the air conditioner is adjusted, which can avoid the fluctuation of the exhaust temperature of the compressor or the delay of the exhaust temperature of the compressor to reflect the exhaust state of the compressor, so as to accurately and stably determine the exhaust state of the compressor, thereby reducing the frequency of the compressor shutdown, and further improving the stability of the air conditioner operation.

[0047] Optionally, the target adjustment parameter comprises the exhaust pressure and the exhaust temperature of the compressor.

[0048] In this embodiment, the exhaust temperature of the compressor fluctuates or delays to reflect the exhaust state of the compressor. Therefore, it is not accurate enough to judge the exhaust state of the compressor only by the exhaust temperature of the compressor, so the more sensitive exhaust pressure parameter of the compressor is introduced to jointly judge, thereby improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the judgment of the exhaust state of the compressor when the exhaust temperature of the compressor is high.

[0049] Optionally, the target adjustment parameter comprises the exhaust pressure and the exhaust temperature of the compressor, and the condenser temperature of the air conditioner.

[0050] In this embodiment, on the basis of the exhaust temperature of the compressor, the more sensitive exhaust pressure parameter of the compressor and the condenser temperature are introduced to jointly judge, thereby improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the judgment of the exhaust state of the compressor when the exhaust temperature of the compressor is low.

[0051] As Figure 3 shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for an air conditioner. The method comprises:

[0052] S301, the processor obtains the exhaust temperature of the compressor of the air conditioner.

[0053] S302, the processor determines that the target adjustment parameter of the air conditioner is the discharge pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor when the discharge temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature.

[0054] Optionally, the first preset temperature is set to [90 (degrees Celsius), 98]. More specifically, the first preset temperature is set to 90, 93, 95, or 98. Setting the first preset temperature to the above interval represents that the discharge temperature of the compressor is relatively high.

[0055] S303, the processor determines that the target adjustment parameter of the air conditioner is the discharge pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor, and the condenser temperature of the air conditioner when the discharge temperature is less than the second preset temperature.

[0056] Optionally, the second preset temperature is set to [45, 55]. More specifically, the second preset temperature is set to 45, 50, or 55. Setting the second preset temperature to the above interval represents that the discharge temperature of the compressor is relatively low.

[0057] S304, the processor adjusts the operating parameter of the air conditioner according to the target adjustment parameter.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the discharge state of the compressor is determined by the discharge temperature of the compressor. When the discharge temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, it indicates that the discharge temperature of the compressor is relatively high. Then, the discharge pressure of the compressor is introduced as a judgment condition on the basis of the discharge temperature of the compressor. When the discharge temperature is less than the second preset temperature, it indicates that the discharge temperature of the compressor is relatively low. Then, the suction pressure of the compressor and the condenser temperature are introduced as two judgment conditions on the basis of the discharge temperature of the compressor. In this way, the judgment result can be more accurate and stable, so that the operating parameter of the air conditioner can be controlled more timely.

[0059] Optionally, the operating parameter of the air conditioner includes the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the air conditioner and / or the compressor frequency of the air conditioner. By controlling the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve of the air conditioner and / or the compressor frequency of the air conditioner, the discharge temperature of the compressor can be reduced or increased, so that the compressor is in a normal discharge state.

[0060] Optionally, when the target adjustment parameter is the discharge pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor, the processor adjusts the operating parameter of the air conditioner according to the target adjustment parameter includes: when T d <T3, and P d ≤P2, the processor obtains the outdoor environment temperature. The processor adjusts the opening degree of the electronic expansion valve according to the outdoor environment temperature. And / or, when T d ≥T3, and P d >P2, the processor adjusts the compressor frequency.

[0061] wherein, Td T3 is a third preset temperature. Optionally, 100≤T3≤104. More specifically, T3 is set to 100, 102 or 104. d P is an exhaust pressure of the compressor. P1 is a first preset pressure. Optionally, 3Mpa (mega pascal)≤P1≤4Mpa. More specifically, P1 is set to 3Mpa, 3.5Mpa or 4Mpa. P2 is a second preset pressure. Optionally, 4MPa

[0062] In the above embodiment, in the case of T d <T3, and P1 d ≤P2, it indicates that the compressor is in an abnormal exhaust state. Since the outdoor ambient temperature represents the refrigeration load of the compressor, adjusting the electronic expansion valve opening degree according to the outdoor ambient temperature can reduce the resistance of the refrigerant in the air conditioner when circulating, make the refrigerant of the air conditioner circulate more smoothly, reduce the exhaust pressure of the compressor, and thus reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor. In this way, the electronic expansion valve can restore the exhaust state of the compressor to normal, without the need to adjust the frequency of the compressor, thereby reducing the frequency of the compressor shutdown.

[0063] Optionally, the processor adjusting the electronic expansion valve opening degree according to the outdoor ambient temperature comprises: the processor calculating ΔA1=k×T ao , to obtain a first opening degree compensation value. The processor calculates A1=A0+ΔA1, to obtain a first target electronic expansion valve opening degree. The processor adjusts the electronic expansion valve opening degree to the first target electronic expansion valve opening degree.

[0064] ΔA1 is the first opening degree compensation value, k is a compensation coefficient, T ao is the outdoor ambient temperature, A1 is the first target electronic expansion valve opening degree, and A0 is the current electronic expansion valve opening degree.

[0065] Optionally, the processor obtains k in the following manner: the processor determines k according to the current electronic expansion valve opening degree. Wherein, k is inversely related to the current electronic expansion valve opening degree. That is, the greater the current electronic expansion valve opening degree, the smaller the k determined by the processor. The smaller the current electronic expansion valve opening degree, the greater the k determined by the processor. Optionally, 0.5≤k≤2. More specifically, k is set to 0.5, 1 or 2.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the outdoor ambient temperature represents the refrigeration load of the compressor, and the greater the outdoor ambient temperature, the greater the refrigeration load of the compressor, and the greater the adjusted electronic expansion valve opening degree, so as to accelerate the efficiency of reducing the refrigeration load of the compressor. In the case of the smaller outdoor ambient temperature, the smaller the refrigeration load of the compressor, and the smaller the adjusted electronic expansion valve opening degree, that is, the efficiency of reducing the refrigeration load of the compressor. Therefore, the electronic expansion valve opening degree adjustment value determined by the above algorithm can be adapted to the current exhaust state, so as to reduce the compressor exhaust pressure and thus reduce the compressor exhaust temperature.

[0067] Optionally, the processor adjusting the compressor frequency comprises: based on the current operating frequency of the compressor, the processor controls the compressor to be adjusted in frequency reduction at a first frequency compensation rate to a first operating frequency.

[0068] Optionally, the first frequency compensation rate is set to [2.5 Hz / s (hertz per second), 4.5 Hz / s]. More specifically, the first frequency compensation rate is set to 2.5 Hz / s, 3 Hz / s, 3.5 Hz / s, 4 Hz / s or 4.5 Hz / s.

[0069] In the above embodiment, by controlling the compressor to be adjusted in frequency reduction at a first frequency compensation rate, the efficiency of reducing the frequency of the compressor is accelerated to quickly improve the efficiency of the compressor exhaust temperature.

[0070] Optionally, the processor adjusting the compressor frequency further comprises: the processor calculates ΔF1=F0-F1 to obtain the cumulative frequency reduction value of the compressor. Wherein, ΔF1 is the cumulative frequency reduction value, F0 is the current operating frequency, and F1 is the first operating frequency. In the case that the cumulative frequency reduction value of the compressor is greater than or equal to the first frequency, the processor controls the compressor to operate at the first operating frequency for a first preset time length.

[0071] Optionally, the first frequency is set to [18 Hz, 24 Hz]. More specifically, the first frequency is set to 18 Hz, 20 Hz, 22 Hz or 24 Hz. Setting the first frequency to the above interval avoids the case that the frequency of the compressor is too low to cause poor working effect of the compressor. Thus, the working effect of the compressor is improved.

[0072] Optionally, the first preset time length is set to [4 min (minutes), 6 min]. More specifically, the first preset time length is set to 4 min, 5 min or 6 min. Setting the first preset time length to the above interval makes the exhaust state of the compressor tend to be stable within the time.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the cumulative frequency reduction value is determined by the first operating frequency and the current operating frequency. In the case that the cumulative frequency reduction value reaches the first frequency, the compressor is kept operating at the first operating frequency for a first preset time length, so as to ensure the working effect of the compressor.

[0074] Optionally, in the case that the target regulation parameter is the suction pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor, and the condenser temperature of the air conditioner, the processor adjusts the operation parameter of the air conditioner according to the target regulation parameter, comprising: the processor calculates AT = T d -T c , to obtain the temperature difference between the discharge temperature of the compressor and the condenser temperature. In the case that P3≤P s <P4, T4≤AT < T5, and t r1 >t2, the electronic expansion valve opening degree is adjusted. In the case that P s <P3, and AT < T4, the compressor operation frequency is adjusted.

[0075] wherein, AT is the temperature difference, T d is the discharge temperature of the compressor, T c is the condenser temperature, P s is the suction pressure of the compressor. t r1 is the duration of the air conditioner in the state of P3≤P s <P4, T4≤AT < T5.

[0076] P3 is the third preset pressure. Optionally, 0.1 MPa < P3≤0.25 MPa. More specifically, P3 is set to 0.1 MPa, 0.15 MPa, 0.2 MPa, or 0.25 MPa. P4 is the fourth preset pressure. Optionally, 0.25 MPa < P4≤0.35 MPa. More specifically, P4 is set to 0.27 MPa, 0.3 MPa, or 0.35 MPa. T4 is the fourth preset temperature. Optionally, 14≤T4≤16. More specifically, T4 is set to 14, 15, or 16. T5 is the fifth preset temperature. Optionally, 17≤T5≤19. More specifically, T5 is set to 17, 18, or 19. t2 is the second preset duration. Optionally, 1 min≤t2≤3 min. More specifically, t2 is set to 1 min, 2 min, or 3 min.

[0077] In the above embodiments, in the case that P3≤P s <P4, T4≤AT < T5, and t r1 >t2, it indicates that the suction pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor are relatively low, so the electronic expansion valve opening degree is adjusted, which can not only improve the suction pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor, but also reduce the adjustment of the compressor frequency, to ensure the working effect of the compressor. In the case that P s <P3, and AT < T4, it indicates that the suction pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor are too low, and only adjusting the electronic expansion valve opening degree cannot meet the requirement of restoring the discharge state of the compressor to normal, so the compressor frequency is adjusted to improve the suction pressure and the discharge temperature of the compressor.

[0078] Optionally, the adjusting, by the processor, the electronic expansion valve opening degree comprises: calculating, by the processor, A2=A0-△A2, to obtain a second target electronic expansion valve opening degree. The processor adjusts the electronic expansion valve opening degree to the second target electronic expansion valve opening degree.

[0079] wherein A2 is the second target electronic expansion valve opening degree, and△A2 is the second opening degree compensation value. Optionally, 80b≤△A2≤120b. More specifically,△A2 is set to 80b, 100b or 120b. In this way, the efficiency of the adjustment is faster through the directly determined second opening degree compensation value.

[0080] Optionally, the processor obtains△A2 in the following manner: calculating, by the processor,△A2=k×T ao , to obtain the second opening degree compensation value. In this way, the second target electronic expansion valve opening degree of the adjustment is more accurate.

[0081] Optionally, the adjusting, by the processor, the compressor operating frequency comprises: in the case that P s >P5,△T≥T6, and t r2 >t3, the processor controls the compressor to be adjusted to a second operating frequency at a second frequency compensation rate based on the current operating frequency of the compressor.

[0082] wherein t r2 is the duration of the air conditioner in the state that P s >P5 and△T≥T6.

[0083] P5 is a fifth preset pressure. Optionally, 0.05Mpa≤P5≤0.1Mpa. More specifically, P5 is set to 0.05Mpa, 0.07Mpa or 0.1Mpa. T6 is a sixth preset temperature. Optionally, 4≤T6≤6. More specifically, T6 is set to 4, 5 or 6. t3 is a third preset duration. Optionally, 1min≤t3≤5min. More specifically, t3 is set to 1min, 3min or 5min.

[0084] Optionally, the second frequency compensation rate is set to [0.2Hz / s, 0.5Hz / s]. More specifically, the second frequency compensation rate is set to 0.2Hz / s, 0.333Hz / s or 0.5Hz / s. It should be noted that the second frequency compensation rate should not be set too large or too small. If the second frequency compensation rate is set to be greater than 0.5Hz / s, the compressor is likely to be damaged. If the second frequency compensation rate is set to be less than 0.2Hz / s, it is difficult to quickly increase the compressor discharge temperature.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the compressor is adjusted to increase the frequency at the second frequency compensation rate, which ensures the operation of the compressor while increasing the compressor back pressure and thus increasing the compressor discharge temperature.

[0086] Optionally, the processor controls the compressor to perform the frequency up-regulation to the second operating frequency at the second frequency compensation rate further comprises: the processor calculates ΔF2=F2-F0 to obtain the cumulative frequency up value of the compressor. Wherein, ΔF2 is the cumulative frequency up value, F2 is the second operating frequency, and F0 is the current operating frequency. In the case that the cumulative frequency up value of the compressor is greater than or equal to the second frequency, the compressor is controlled to continuously operate at the second operating frequency.

[0087] Optionally, the second frequency is set to [16Hz, 22Hz]. More specifically, the second frequency is set to 16Hz, 18Hz, 20Hz or 22Hz.

[0088] In the above embodiment, the cumulative frequency up value is determined by the second operating frequency and the current operating frequency. In the case that the cumulative frequency up value reaches the second frequency, the compressor is continuously operated at the second operating frequency, thereby ensuring the working effect of the compressor.

[0089] Optionally, the processor adjusts the operating frequency of the compressor further comprises: in the case that P s ≤P5, ΔT r3 <T6, and t r3 > t4, the processor adjusts the compressor to operate at a third frequency.

[0090] Wherein, t r3 is the fourth preset time length. s ≤P5, ΔT d <T6.

[0091] t4 is the fourth preset time length. Optionally, 20min ≤ t4 ≤ 35min. More specifically, t4 is set to 20min, 30min or 35min.

[0092] Optionally, the third frequency is set to [0, 2Hz]. More specifically, the third frequency is set to 0.

[0093] In the above embodiment, the fourth preset time length is used to buffer the opportunity of the compressor, and the exhaust state of the compressor can be accurately determined. The state indicates that the exhaust of the compressor is too low, and the compressor is adjusted to the third frequency to avoid damage to the compressor and prolong the service life of the compressor.

[0094] As shown in FIG. Figure 4 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides another control method for an air conditioner. The method comprises:

[0095] S401, the processor obtains the exhaust temperature T d of the compressor of the air conditioner.

[0111] In this embodiment, the implementation process of the method is explained as an example. Since the stability and accuracy of judging the exhaust state of the compressor only by the exhaust temperature of the compressor are low, determining the target adjustment parameter according to the exhaust temperature of the compressor can improve the stability and accuracy of the judgment result. In the case where the exhaust temperature of the compressor is high and the exhaust pressure is large, it is preferred to adjust the exhaust temperature and pressure of the compressor by adjusting the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and then adjust the compressor to reduce the frequency. In the case where the temperature difference between the exhaust temperature of the compressor and the condenser temperature is low and the return air pressure is low, it is preferred to adjust the opening of the electronic expansion valve, and then adjust the compressor to increase the frequency, and finally adjust the compressor to stop. In this way, the frequency of compressor shutdown can be reduced, the normal operation of the compressor can be ensured, and the service life of the compressor can be extended.
