Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to the field of air conditioning, specifically to an operation control method, device, air conditioner, and storage medium for an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent cold air from blowing out when the internal pipe temperature is low, such as when the air conditioner switches from standby or cooling mode to heating mode, thus affecting user comfort, the air conditioner employs anti-cold air control when starting heating.

[0029] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Although the flowcharts show a logical order, in some cases the operations shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown in the figures.

[0031] As described in the background section, to improve user comfort, air conditioners implement anti-cold-air control when entering heating mode to prevent cold air from being blown out due to low internal pipe temperature. During the anti-cold-air period, the heating capacity of the air conditioner is limited. If the anti-cold-air time occupies too long of the entire heating cycle, it will adversely affect the overall heating performance. Therefore, it is necessary to shorten the anti-cold-air time. Increasing the heating rate of the internal pipe can shorten the anti-cold-air time to some extent. However, a rapid increase in the internal pipe temperature may lead to excessive pressure on the system operation. In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method for adjusting operating parameters according to the state of the air conditioner, which can balance the anti-cold-air time and the system operating pressure.

[0032] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of an air conditioner operation control method according to some embodiments of this application. Specifically, the flow of the air conditioner operation control method can be as follows:

[0033] S101. Determine that the air conditioner is in either continuous operation or discontinuous operation.

[0034] Among them, the continuous operation state and the discontinuous operation state are related to the continuous operation time of the air conditioner's compressor.

[0035] S103. Determine the operating parameters of the air conditioner during the anti-cold air phase, based at least on the status. The operating parameters include at least one of the following: compressor frequency dwell time, outdoor fan speed, and expansion valve opening.

[0036] The compressor frequency dwell time includes the time the compressor spends at at least one frequency dwell point. During the compressor's frequency increase process, to improve oil return and prevent the compressor oil from failing to return properly while the frequency continuously rises, frequency dwell points are set. When the compressor frequency reaches a frequency dwell point, it maintains that frequency for a period before continuing to increase the frequency. Air conditioners can have one or more frequency dwell points, and each dwell point can have a set dwell time. Different frequency dwell points can have the same or different frequency dwell times. When the compressor oil temperature is higher, the oil return effect is better, and a shorter frequency dwell time can be used compared to when the oil temperature is lower.

[0037] The outdoor fan speed refers to the rotational speed of the air conditioner's outdoor fan. Increasing the outdoor fan speed enhances air convection on the outdoor side, improves the efficiency of drawing in outside air, and thus accelerates the temperature rise of the indoor pipes. However, increasing the outdoor fan speed will also increase the system's operating pressure to some extent.

[0038] The opening of the expansion valve controls the pressure and flow rate of the refrigerant. If the expansion valve opening is too large, too much refrigerant enters the evaporator and cannot evaporate sufficiently, potentially causing some liquid refrigerant to enter the compressor, which lowers the compressor's discharge temperature. When the expansion valve opening is smaller, the refrigerant flow is lower, allowing for more complete evaporation in the evaporator. This results in more efficient compressor operation and a correspondingly higher discharge temperature, improving the system's heating performance.

[0039] The air conditioner operation control method provided in this application adjusts at least one of the following operating parameters—compressor frequency dwell time, outdoor fan speed, and expansion valve opening—based on the air conditioner's operating status when the air conditioner is operating in the anti-cold air phase. This air conditioner operation control method can flexibly adjust operating parameters according to the air conditioner's operating status.

[0040] Figure 2 The illustration shows a flowchart of determining the state of an air conditioner according to some embodiments of this application. Specifically, the process for determining the state of an air conditioner can be as follows:

[0041] S201. Obtain the longest continuous running time of the compressor and the longest stop time of the compressor within a preset time period.

[0042] The preset time period can be a fixed length or a variable length. For example, a preset time period can be a time period with the acquisition time as the end time and the preset time period as the duration. Another example is a time period with the acquisition time as the end time and the air conditioner turning on as the start time.

[0043] S201. Determine the status based on the maximum continuous running time and the longest stop time.

[0044] Within a preset time period, the compressor can alternate between running and stopping. The maximum continuous running time is the longest continuous running time among multiple continuous running periods of the compressor within the preset time period. The longest stopping time is the longest stopping time among multiple stopping periods of the compressor within the preset time period.

[0045] In some embodiments, if the longest continuous running time is greater than a continuous running time threshold and the longest stop time is less than a stop time threshold, the state is determined to be continuous operation. Conversely, if the longest continuous running time is less than or equal to the continuous running time threshold, or the longest stop time is greater than or equal to the stop time threshold, the state is determined to be discontinuous operation. The continuous running time threshold and the stop time threshold can be preset parameters. For example, the preset time period could be one hour prior to the acquisition time, with a continuous running time threshold of 30 minutes and a stop time threshold of 10 minutes. When the compressor's longest continuous running time within that one hour exceeds 30 minutes and the longest stop time is less than 10 minutes, the air conditioner is considered to be in continuous operation. Otherwise, the air conditioner is in discontinuous operation.

[0046] The following section will explain how to adjust the operating parameters in both states.

[0047] Figure 3 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of determining the compressor frequency dwell time according to some embodiments of this application. Specifically, the process for determining the compressor frequency dwell time can be as follows:

[0048] S301. Determine that the air conditioner is in either continuous operation or discontinuous operation.

[0049] When the air conditioner is in continuous operation, the internal oil temperature of the compressor is higher than that in discontinuous operation, resulting in better oil return and allowing the compressor to increase its frequency in a shorter time.

[0050] Based on at least the condition, determine the air conditioner's operating parameters, including: based on at least the condition, determine the compressor's frequency dwell time. Specifically:

[0051] S303. In continuous operation, determine the first frequency dwell time of the compressor.

[0052] As mentioned earlier, the compressor frequency residence time includes the residence time of the compressor at at least one frequency residence point. The first frequency residence time can be the sum of the frequency residence times of the compressor in continuous operation.

[0053] S305. In discontinuous operation, determine the second frequency residence time of the compressor, which is greater than the first frequency residence time.

[0054] The second frequency dwell time can be the sum of the compressor's frequency dwell times in discontinuous operation. In both continuous and discontinuous operation, the same frequency dwell point can be set, meaning the dwell time occurs at the same frequency, or different frequency dwell points can be set. For example, an air conditioner can have three frequency dwell points, named low-frequency, medium-frequency, and high-frequency dwell points according to their relative frequency levels. In continuous operation, the oil return pressure is lower at low frequencies, so the low-frequency dwell time can be omitted, while the medium-frequency and high-frequency dwell times are retained. Furthermore, the medium-frequency and high-frequency dwell times can be set to be shorter than in discontinuous operation.

[0055] Table 1 shows a comparison of compressor frequency dwell time during the anti-cold air stage in some embodiments of this application. Wherein, T1 represents the compressor's dwell time at the low-frequency dwell point in discontinuous operation. T2 represents the compressor's dwell time at the medium-frequency dwell point in discontinuous operation. T3 represents the compressor's dwell time at the high-frequency dwell point in discontinuous operation. In continuous operation, the dwell time at the low-frequency dwell point is 0. In continuous operation, * indicates multiplication, and the dwell time at the medium-frequency and low-frequency dwell points is 2 / 3 of that in discontinuous operation, i.e., shortened by 1 / 3.

[0056] Table 1

[0057]

[0058] The operation control method provided in some embodiments of this application can adjust the frequency dwell time of the compressor according to different operating states of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is in continuous operation, the frequency dwell time can be appropriately shortened so that the compressor can complete the frequency increase in a shorter time.

[0059] In addition to adjusting parameters based on the air conditioner's status, operating parameters can also be determined by considering the temperature of the air conditioner's internal pipes. During the anti-cold air phase, the temperature of the air conditioner's internal pipes gradually rises, and the operating parameters can be adjusted accordingly under different internal pipe temperature conditions.

[0060] Operating parameters are determined based on the status and the temperature of the air conditioner's internal pipes. Specifically, this may include: acquiring the internal pipe temperature at preset time intervals; and determining operating parameters based on the latest acquired internal pipe temperature. In other words, during the anti-cold air phase, as the internal pipe temperature gradually rises, at least some operating parameters will also change along with the change in internal pipe temperature.

[0061] Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of determining the outdoor fan speed according to some embodiments of this application. Specifically, the flow of the air conditioner operation control method can be as follows:

[0062] S401. Determine that the air conditioner is in either continuous operation or discontinuous operation.

[0063] Operating parameters are determined based on the system status and the temperature of the air conditioning's internal pipes. This includes determining the outdoor fan speed based on these parameters. When the internal pipe temperature is low, the outdoor fan speed can be appropriately increased to quickly raise the temperature, thereby improving external convective heat transfer and increasing suction pressure and temperature. When the internal pipe temperature is high, the outdoor fan speed can be appropriately decreased to reduce system operating pressure and energy consumption. Different internal pipe temperatures correspond to different outdoor fan speeds. This relationship between internal pipe temperature and outdoor fan speed can be preset within the air conditioning system. Specifically:

[0064] S403. Under continuous operation, determine the external fan speed corresponding to the inner pipe temperature as the first speed.

[0065] S405. In discontinuous operation, the external fan speed corresponding to the inner pipe temperature is determined as the second speed, wherein the first speed is less than or equal to the second speed.

[0066] When an air conditioner is running continuously, the system operates under greater pressure, especially if the compressor increases its frequency rapidly. Therefore, during continuous operation, the outdoor fan speed can be lower than during intermittent operation to reduce the system's operating pressure.

[0067] Table 2 shows a comparison of the external fan speeds during the cold air protection phase in some embodiments of this application. Where t represents the inner pipe temperature. R represents the external fan speed when 30℃≤t, in rpm (revolutions per minute).

[0068] Table 2

[0069]

[0070] Figure 5 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of determining the expansion valve opening degree according to some embodiments of this application. Specifically, the flow of the air conditioner operation control method can be as follows:

[0071] S501. Determine that the air conditioner is in either continuous operation or discontinuous operation.

[0072] Operating parameters are determined based on the system status and the temperature of the air conditioner's internal pipes. This includes determining the expansion valve opening based on these parameters. When the internal pipe temperature is low, the expansion valve opening can be appropriately reduced to quickly raise the internal pipe temperature and increase the compressor's discharge temperature. When the internal pipe temperature is high, the expansion valve opening can be appropriately increased to improve the compressor's efficiency. Different internal pipe temperatures correspond to different expansion valve openings. This relationship between internal pipe temperature and expansion valve opening can be preset within the air conditioner's system. Specifically:

[0073] S503. In continuous operation, determine the opening degree of the expansion valve corresponding to the inner tube temperature as the first opening degree.

[0074] S505. In discontinuous operation, the opening degree of the expansion valve corresponding to the inner tube temperature is determined as the second opening degree, wherein the first opening degree is greater than or equal to the second opening degree.

[0075] When an air conditioner is running continuously, the compressor operates more efficiently and can handle a larger refrigerant flow. Therefore, during continuous operation, the expansion valve can open wider than during intermittent operation to fully utilize the compressor's heating efficiency.

[0076] Table 3 shows a comparison of the expansion valve opening degree during the cold air protection stage of some embodiments of this application. Where t represents the inner pipe temperature, and p represents the expansion valve opening degree when 30℃≤t, in steps.

[0077] Table 3

[0078]

[0079] In addition to the operating parameters mentioned above, in some embodiments, the indoor fan speed can be determined based on the status and indoor pipe temperature. When the indoor pipe temperature is low, a lower indoor fan speed can be set, or the indoor fan can be turned off to prevent cold air from being blown out. When the indoor pipe temperature is high, the indoor fan speed can be increased to blow out warmer air, thereby improving heating efficiency. When the air conditioner is running continuously, the system operating pressure is relatively high, especially if the compressor is increasing its frequency at a relatively fast rate. Therefore, in continuous operation, the indoor fan speed can be lower than in non-continuous operation to reduce the system operating pressure.

[0080] Figure 6 Example diagrams are shown illustrating some embodiments of the air conditioner operation control method provided in this application. For example... Figure 6As shown, in the method provided in this embodiment, it is first determined that the air conditioner has entered the anti-cold air stage. This determination can be made by receiving an anti-cold air command from the air conditioner control system. Next, it is determined whether the air conditioner is in a continuous operation state or a discontinuous operation state. This determination can be made by judging whether a preset condition is met. The preset condition can be that the longest continuous operation time is greater than a continuous operation time threshold, and the longest stop time is less than a stop time threshold. When this condition is met, the air conditioner is considered to be in a continuous operation state; otherwise, the air conditioner is determined to be in a discontinuous operation state.

[0081] When the air conditioner is determined to be in continuous operation, the first frequency dwell time of the compressor is determined. The indoor pipe temperature is acquired at preset time intervals, and the outdoor fan speed corresponding to the indoor pipe temperature is determined as the first speed, and the expansion valve opening corresponding to the indoor pipe temperature is determined as the first opening.

[0082] When the air conditioner is determined to be in a discontinuous operation state, the compressor's second frequency dwell time is determined. The inner pipe temperature is obtained at preset time intervals, and the outdoor fan speed corresponding to the inner pipe temperature is determined as the second speed, and the expansion valve opening corresponding to the inner pipe temperature is determined as the second opening.

[0083] Among these, the dwell time at the first frequency is less than the dwell time at the second frequency. The first rotational speed is less than or equal to the second rotational speed. The first opening degree is greater than or equal to the second opening degree.

[0084] During the cold air protection process, the air conditioner can determine in real time or at preset time intervals whether the conditions for discontinuing cold air protection are met. The conditions for discontinuing cold air protection can be that the internal pipe temperature reaches the discontinuation threshold or that the cold air protection duration reaches the discontinuation threshold. If the discontinuation conditions are not met, the outdoor fan speed and expansion valve opening will be adjusted according to the internal pipe temperature.

[0085] In summary, the air conditioner operation control method provided in this application embodiment can flexibly adjust the operating parameters of the anti-cold air stage according to the state of the air conditioner.

[0088] The second determining module 603 is used to determine the operating parameters of the air conditioner based at least on the state, the operating parameters including at least one of the following: compressor frequency dwell time, outdoor fan speed, and expansion valve opening.

[0089] In some embodiments of this application, the value-determining device 600, after the air conditioner is in the anti-cold air stage, determines by a first determining module 601 whether the air conditioner is in a continuous operation state or a discontinuous operation state. Then, a second determining module 603 determines operating parameters based on the air conditioner's state, the operating parameters including at least one of the following: compressor frequency dwell time, outdoor fan speed, and expansion valve opening.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second determining module 603 may include a second determining unit and a third determining unit. The second determining unit may be used to determine a first frequency residence time of the compressor in a continuous operation state. The third determining unit may be used to determine a second frequency residence time of the compressor in a discontinuous operation state, wherein the second frequency residence time is greater than the first frequency residence time.

[0093] In some embodiments, the second determining module 603 may include a fourth determining unit and a fifth determining unit. The fourth determining unit may be used to determine the external fan speed corresponding to the inner pipe temperature as a first speed in a continuous operation state. The fifth determining unit may be used to determine the external fan speed corresponding to the inner pipe temperature as a second speed in a discontinuous operation state, wherein the first speed is less than or equal to the second speed.

[0094] In some embodiments, the second determining module 603 may include a sixth determining unit and a seventh determining unit. The sixth determining unit may be used to determine, in continuous operation, the expansion valve opening corresponding to the inner tube temperature as a first opening. The seventh determining unit may be used to determine, in discontinuous operation, the expansion valve opening corresponding to the inner tube temperature as a second opening.
