Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart home appliance technology, such as a method and apparatus for dehumidifying air conditioners, an air conditioner, and a storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioning dehumidification refers to the entire air conditioner being in dehumidification mode. At this time, the indoor unit's fan runs very slowly, in order to facilitate the condensation of water vapor in the air into liquid, thereby achieving the dehumidification effect.

[0003] Current air conditioning dehumidification methods determine the temperature based on the outdoor ambient temperature, and then adjust it based on the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature. When the difference is large, the target evaporation temperature is maintained; when the difference is small, the target evaporation temperature is increased, and the compressor frequency during cooling is reduced.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0005] While existing technologies can dehumidify, in high humidity cooling conditions, when the set temperature is high, the indoor humidity is high, making users feel uncomfortable. In low humidity conditions, there will be excessive dehumidification, resulting in dry and cold air and high energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0056] To provide a more detailed understanding of the features and technical content of the embodiments of this disclosure, the implementation of the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure. In the following technical description, for ease of explanation, several details are used to provide a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments. However, one or more embodiments may still be implemented without these details. In other cases, well-known structures and devices may be simplified in their depiction to simplify the drawings.

[0057] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of this disclosure described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0058] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0059] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the objects before and after it are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0060] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0061] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0062] The minimum and maximum user comfort humidity values ​​mentioned in this embodiment can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the minimum user comfort humidity value in this embodiment is 40%, and the maximum user comfort humidity value is 60%.

[0063] This disclosure provides a method and apparatus for dehumidifying air conditioners, an air conditioner, and a storage medium to improve the comfort level provided by dehumidifying air conditioners.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, a method for dehumidifying an air conditioner is provided, comprising:

[0065] S101. When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, it acquires indoor humidity, outdoor ambient temperature, indoor ambient temperature and set temperature.

[0066] S102. The air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipes based on the indoor humidity, outdoor ambient temperature, indoor ambient temperature and set temperature.

[0067] S103. The air conditioner controls the evaporator pipeline to operate according to the target evaporation temperature.

[0068] By acquiring indoor humidity, outdoor ambient temperature, indoor ambient temperature, and set temperature while operating in cooling mode, and determining the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator piping based on these parameters, the system controls the evaporator piping to operate at the target evaporation temperature. This improves user comfort under high humidity conditions and at high set temperatures, while avoiding excessive dehumidification in low humidity conditions, which results in dry, cold air and high energy consumption for the air conditioner.

[0069] The execution of S101, S102, and S103 can be done once or multiple times, and can be executed periodically or randomly. In an exemplary embodiment, S101 and S102 are executed periodically, while S103 is executed continuously in the air conditioner's cooling mode. The target evaporation temperature used for execution changes according to the execution results of S101 and S102.

[0070] In some implementations, S102 includes:

[0071] The air conditioner determines the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature;

[0072] The air conditioner generates an initial evaporation temperature based on the outdoor ambient temperature and the aforementioned difference.

[0073] When the indoor humidity is less than the minimum comfortable humidity for the user, the air conditioner obtains the dew point temperature and determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe based on the indoor humidity, the dew point temperature, and the initial evaporation temperature; and / or, when the indoor humidity is greater than the maximum comfortable humidity for the user, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe based on the difference, the indoor humidity, and the initial evaporation temperature; and / or, when the indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the minimum comfortable humidity for the user and less than or equal to the maximum comfortable humidity for the user, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0074] The above embodiments provide a method for determining the target evaporation temperature under different indoor humidity conditions.

[0075] The set temperature refers to the cooling temperature set by the user when using the air conditioner. For example, if the user sets the cooling temperature of the air conditioner to 20℃, then the set temperature here is 20℃. In one embodiment, the air conditioner generates an initial evaporation temperature based on the outdoor ambient temperature and the difference. This can be achieved by first generating an evaporation temperature based on the outdoor ambient temperature, and then adjusting the generated evaporation temperature according to the difference to generate the initial evaporation temperature. The generation of the evaporation temperature based on the outdoor ambient temperature can be performed according to a preset correspondence. For example, the preset correspondence could be that different outdoor ambient temperature ranges correspond to different evaporation temperatures. Adjusting the generated evaporation temperature according to the difference could be that different difference ranges correspond to different adjustment methods. The specific adjustment method can be set by those skilled in the art, and this application is not limited to this.

[0076] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, S102 includes:

[0080] S204. When the indoor humidity is greater than the maximum value of the user's comfortable humidity, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe based on the difference, the indoor humidity, and the initial evaporation temperature.

[0081] S205. When the indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the user's comfortable humidity and less than or equal to the maximum value of the user's comfortable humidity, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0084] S302. The air conditioner generates an initial evaporation temperature based on the outdoor ambient temperature and the aforementioned difference.

[0085] S303. When the indoor humidity is less than the minimum comfortable humidity for the user, the air conditioner obtains the dew point temperature and determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipeline based on the indoor humidity, the dew point temperature, and the initial evaporation temperature.

[0086] S304. When the indoor humidity is greater than the maximum value of the user's comfortable humidity, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe based on the difference, the indoor humidity, and the initial evaporation temperature.

[0087] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipes based on indoor humidity, dew point temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and the difference, including:

[0088] S401. The air conditioner compares the initial evaporation temperature with the dew point temperature. When the initial evaporation temperature is lower than the dew point temperature, the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipeline is determined to be the dew point temperature plus a first set value.

[0089] S402. After the air conditioner determines for the first time that the indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the user's comfortable humidity, it determines the target evaporation temperature as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0090] By implementing the above methods, when the indoor humidity is low, the target evaporation temperature can be increased based on the initial evaporation temperature and the dew point temperature, thus avoiding excessive dehumidification.

[0091] The first set value is [0, 10]℃. In one embodiment, the first set value is 1℃, and in another embodiment, the first set value is 5℃.

[0092] In one implementation, the first set time is half an hour.

[0093] By using S402, the fluctuation in the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner can be avoided by setting the target evaporation temperature as the initial evaporation temperature too early.

[0094] In some implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipes based on indoor humidity, dew point temperature, outdoor ambient temperature, and the difference, including:

[0095] S501. The air conditioner compares the initial evaporation temperature with the dew point temperature. If the initial evaporation temperature is greater than the dew point temperature, the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe is determined to be ET+1 / P, where P is the indoor humidity and ET is the initial evaporation temperature.

[0096] S502. After the air conditioner determines for the first time that the indoor humidity is greater than or equal to the minimum value of the user's comfortable humidity, it determines the target evaporation temperature as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0098] The second set time can be the same as or different from the first set time mentioned above. In one embodiment, the second set time is half an hour.

[0099] S502 can prevent fluctuations in the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner caused by prematurely setting the target evaporation temperature as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0100] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipes based on the difference, indoor humidity, and initial evaporation temperature, including:

[0101] S601. When the difference is less than or equal to the second set value, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature to be ET-0.4 / (1-P), where P is the indoor humidity and ET is the initial evaporation temperature.

[0102] S602. After the air conditioner determines for the first time that the indoor humidity is less than or equal to the maximum value of the user's comfortable humidity for a third set time, it determines the target evaporation temperature as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0103] By implementing the above methods, when the indoor humidity is high, the target evaporation temperature can be lowered according to the indoor humidity, indoor ambient temperature, and set temperature, which can increase the dehumidification effect and reduce the indoor humidity to a comfortable range for the human body as quickly as possible.

[0104] The second setting value is [0, 10]℃. In one embodiment, the second setting value is 4℃, and in another embodiment, the second setting value is 6℃.

[0105] The third set time can be the same as or different from the first set time and the second set time mentioned above. In one embodiment, the third set time is half an hour.

[0106] S602 can prevent fluctuations in the dehumidification effect of the air conditioner caused by prematurely setting the target evaporation temperature as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0107] In some embodiments, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator piping based on the difference, indoor humidity, and the initial evaporation temperature, including:

[0108] If the difference is greater than the second set value, the air conditioner determines the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0110] The second setting value is [0, 10]℃. In one embodiment, the second setting value is 4℃, and in another embodiment, the second setting value is 6℃.

[0111] like Figure 7 As shown, taking a minimum user comfort humidity of 40% and a maximum user comfort humidity of 60% as an example, this disclosure also provides a method for dehumidifying an air conditioner, including:

[0113] S702. The air conditioner determines the difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature.

[0114] S703. The air conditioner determines the initial evaporation temperature based on the outdoor ambient temperature and the aforementioned difference.

[0115] S704. When the indoor humidity is less than 40%, the air conditioner obtains the dew point temperature. If the initial evaporation temperature is less than the dew point temperature, the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipeline is determined to be the dew point temperature plus a first set value.

[0116] S705. After the indoor humidity is first greater than or equal to 40% for half an hour, the target evaporation temperature of the evaporator pipe shall be determined as the initial evaporation temperature.

[0117] S706. When the indoor humidity P is less than 40%, the air conditioner obtains the dew point temperature.
