The condensed water flowing out of the first drain hole 410 can cool the first heat exchange section of the outdoor heat exchanger 330 (the first heat exchange section will be described in detail below). The second drain hole 420 is arranged on the side wall of the water receiving tray 210 and is arranged to be connected to a first drain pipe. The first drain pipe is used to guide the condensed water on the water receiving tray 210 to a designated position, which can be a water bucket or a drain pipe of a washing machine or a drain pipe of a washroom. The first drain pipe can be opened or closed. The first drain pipe has a first control valve arranged at a position close to the second drain hole 420. When the first control valve is open, the first connecting pipe is in an open state, and when the first control valve is closed, the first drain pipe is in a closed state.

[0065] Optionally, the partition plate 200 is arranged in the cavity of the shell 100, and divides the cavity of the shell 100 into the indoor heat exchange cavity 110 and the outdoor heat exchange cavity 120 distributed in upper and lower directions. The upper surface of the partition plate 200 is provided with the indoor heat exchanger 310 and the indoor fan. The peripheral edge of the partition plate 200 extends upward to form a side wall, and the side wall abuts against the inner side wall of the shell 100, so that the partition plate 200 can also play a role of bearing the indoor heat exchanger 310 and the indoor fan. The partition plate 200 is further provided with a water collecting tray 210 for collecting condensed water generated by the indoor heat exchanger 310.

[0066] Correspondingly, the shell 100 is provided with an indoor air inlet and an indoor air outlet corresponding to the indoor heat exchange cavity 110. The indoor heat exchanger 310 and the indoor fan are sequentially arranged between the indoor air inlet and the indoor air outlet along the flow direction of the air flow.

[0067] Further, the outdoor heat exchanger 330, the outdoor fan 320 and the compressor are arranged in the outdoor heat exchange cavity 120 below the partition plate 200. The shell 100 is provided with an outdoor air inlet and an outdoor air outlet corresponding to the outdoor heat exchange cavity 120. The compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger 330 and the outdoor fan 320 are sequentially arranged between the outdoor air inlet and the outdoor air outlet along the flow direction of the air flow.

[0068] Optionally, the direction from the front side wall to the rear side wall of the shell 100 is the thickness direction of the shell 100, which is the width direction of the partition plate 200. The direction from the left side wall to the right side wall of the shell 100 is the width direction of the shell 100, which is the length direction of the partition plate 200. The outdoor heat exchanger 330 is arranged along the width direction of the partition plate 200.

[0069] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, the bottom plate of the shell 100 is provided with the water collecting part 130 and the water striking part 140. The water collecting part 130 and the water striking part 140 are arranged below the outdoor heat exchanger 330. Figure 6 Optionally, the water collecting part 130 is used for collecting the condensed water discharged from the water collecting tray, and the water collecting part 130 can be a water collecting groove arranged corresponding to the outdoor heat exchanger 330. Optionally, the water striking part 140 is used for striking the condensed water to the second heat exchange section of the outdoor heat exchanger 330, so as to reduce the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger. The water striking part 140 can be a structure capable of stirring the condensed water, such as a rotating shaft or a rotating wheel. Alternatively, the water striking part 140 can be a combination of a water pump and a spray pipe / nozzle.

[0070] Optionally, a portion of the bottom wall of the water pan 210 is recessed towards the outdoor heat exchange cavity 120 to form a water collecting groove 600, and the water collecting groove 600 has a water retaining periphery extending towards the indoor heat exchange cavity 110. The water collecting groove 600 is configured to collect the condensed water in the water pan 210 when the first drain hole 410 is blocked and the second drain hole 420 is closed, so as to avoid overflow of the condensed water. The side wall of the water collecting groove 600 is provided with a third drain hole 430 configured to guide the condensed water in the water collecting groove 600 to the water receiving portion in the outdoor heat exchange cavity 120. The water collecting groove 600 has a water retaining periphery extending towards the interior of the indoor heat exchange cavity 110. The height of the water retaining periphery is higher than the height of the first drain hole 410. Alternatively, the periphery of the first drain hole 410 is provided with an annular protrusion, and the height of the water retaining periphery is higher than the height of the annular protrusion.

[0071] In this way, when the first drain hole 410 is blocked and the second drain hole 420 is closed, the condensed water enters the water collecting groove 600, avoiding overflow of the condensed water from the water pan 210. The condensed water further flows into the water receiving portion through the third drain hole 430. The water receiving portion can stir the condensed water in the water receiving portion to cool the second heat exchange section of the outdoor heat exchanger 330.

[0072] Optionally, the water receiving portion is provided with a fourth drain hole and a second drain pipe detachably connected thereto. The condensed water in the water receiving portion can be guided to a designated position through the second drain pipe. The designated position can be a water bucket, or a drain pipe of a washing machine or a toilet in the indoor. The second drain pipe can be opened or closed. The second drain pipe is provided with a second control valve at a position close to the fourth drain hole. When the second control valve is open, the second connecting pipe is in an open state. When the second control valve is closed, the second drain pipe is in a closed state.

[0073] In the use state of the outdoor heat exchanger 330, the middle line of the outdoor heat exchanger 330 is defined as one half of the height of the outdoor heat exchanger 330. The outdoor heat exchanger 330 above the middle line is the first heat exchange section, and the outdoor heat exchanger 330 below the middle line is the second heat exchange section.

[0074] Alternatively, the side wall of the water collecting groove 600 can not be provided with the third drain hole 430, and the water collecting groove 600 is only used for storing the condensed water.

[0075] Alternatively, the water collecting groove 600 can not be provided.

[0076] Next, the control method of the mobile air conditioner is introduced. Figure 7 The control method of the mobile air conditioner provided by the present application is introduced. Figure 7 is a flow diagram of a control method of a mobile air conditioner provided by the present application.

[0077] In combination withFigure 7 As shown, the application provides a control method of a mobile air conditioner, comprising:

[0078] S71, obtaining the water flow of the second drain hole, and if the water flow is greater than or equal to a preset flow threshold, obtaining the first temperature of the first heat exchange section and the second temperature of the second heat exchange section.

[0079] In this scheme, the second drain hole can be provided with a flow detection device, and in the case that the first drain pipe is connected to the second drain hole, the condensed water can be discharged through the first drain pipe. At this time, the first drain pipe is in an open state, and the flow monitoring device can obtain the water flow at the second drain hole. In the case that the water flow is greater than or equal to a preset flow threshold, it can be determined that the first drain pipe has been connected, and the condensed water is discharged through the first drain pipe.

[0080] If the first drain pipe is connected, it means that a large amount of condensed water will be discharged through it. At this time, the first temperature of the upper half of the outdoor heat exchanger and the second temperature of the lower half of the outdoor heat exchanger are obtained.

[0081] Optionally, the surface of the first heat exchange section is provided with a first temperature sensor, and the surface of the second heat exchange section is provided with a second temperature sensor.

[0082] S72, if the first temperature is greater than a first temperature preset value, and / or the second temperature is greater than a second temperature preset value, the first drain pipe is controlled to be closed to only allow the first drain hole to drain, and / or the rotation speed of the outdoor fan is increased.

[0083] Specifically, if the first temperature is greater than the first temperature preset value, it means that the first heat exchange section is overheated and needs to be cooled. By controlling the first drain pipe to be closed, the condensed water can be caused to drip onto the outdoor heat exchanger through the first drain hole, thereby achieving cooling of the first heat exchange section. Alternatively, by increasing the rotation speed of the outdoor fan to increase the air flow through the outdoor heat exchanger and improve the cooling effect of the outdoor heat exchanger, cooling of the first heat exchange section can be achieved. Alternatively, the first drain pipe is closed at the same time, and the rotation speed of the outdoor fan is increased to improve the cooling effect of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0084] If the second temperature is greater than the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the temperature of the second heat exchange section of the outdoor heat exchanger is overheated, and it needs to be cooled down. By controlling the first drain pipe to be closed, the condensed water can drip through the first drain hole to the outdoor heat exchanger, and the condensed water that has not evaporated on the first heat exchange section continues to flow downward to the second heat exchange section, or even enters the water receiving part. The condensed water entering the water receiving part is converted into water mist under the action of the water beating part and is transported to the second heat exchange section, so as to cool down the second heat exchange section. Alternatively, the speed of the outdoor fan is increased to increase the air volume flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger, improve the cooling effect on the outdoor heat exchanger, and thus cool down the second heat exchange section. Alternatively, the speed of the outdoor fan is increased while the first drain pipe is closed to improve the cooling effect on the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0085] If the first temperature is greater than the first temperature preset value and the second temperature is greater than the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the entire outdoor heat exchanger is overheated. By controlling the first drain pipe to be closed, the condensed water can drip through the first drain hole to the outdoor heat exchanger, and the condensed water that has not evaporated on the first heat exchange section continues to flow downward to the second heat exchange section, or even enters the water receiving part. The condensed water entering the water receiving part is converted into water mist under the action of the water beating part and is transported to the second heat exchange section, so as to cool down the second heat exchange section. Alternatively, the speed of the outdoor fan is increased to increase the air volume flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger, improve the cooling effect on the outdoor heat exchanger, and thus cool down the second heat exchange section. Alternatively, in order to achieve rapid cooling of the entire outdoor heat exchanger, the speed of the outdoor fan is increased while the first drain pipe is closed to improve the cooling effect on the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0086] By adopting the control method of the mobile air conditioner provided by the application, the value of the water flow at the second drain hole is obtained, so that it can be determined that the condensed water on the water receiving disc is more in the case that the first drain pipe is connected, and the condensed water can be guided out through the first drain pipe to avoid corroding other components. At this time, if the first temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature preset value, and the second temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is normal. If the first temperature is greater than the first temperature preset value, and / or the second temperature is greater than the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is overheated. By controlling the first drain pipe to be closed to only drain water through the first drain hole, and / or by increasing the speed of the outdoor fan, the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger can be reduced, and the energy efficiency can be improved.

[0087] In the optional embodiment of the control method of the mobile air conditioner, the control method further includes: if the first temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature preset value, and the second temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature preset value, controlling the mobile air conditioner to operate according to the current set operating parameters.

[0088] That is, if the first temperature is less than or equal to the first temperature preset value and the second temperature is less than or equal to the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is normal and there is no overheating phenomenon, and the mobile air conditioner can be controlled to run according to the current set operating parameters.

[0089] Alternatively, if the first temperature is within the first range and the second temperature is within the second range, the mobile air conditioner can be controlled to run according to the set operating parameters. At this time, the outdoor heat exchanger does not overheat, and can continue to run. If the first temperature is greater than the first upper threshold value and / or the second temperature is greater than the second upper threshold value, the drain pipe is controlled to be closed and / or the fan speed is increased. The first upper threshold value is the first temperature preset value, and the first upper threshold value represents the upper limit value of the first range. The second upper threshold value is the second temperature preset value, and the second upper threshold value represents the upper limit value of the second range. In this way, the operating temperature range of the outdoor heat exchanger under the condition that the first drain hole does not drain or the amount of water drained is extremely small can be determined more accurately.

[0090] In an optional embodiment of the control method of the mobile air conditioner described above, the control method further comprises: if the water flow is less than the preset water flow, obtaining the first liquid level height in the water receiving portion, and if the first liquid level height is greater than or equal to the preset height, controlling the water hitting portion to run.

[0091] In this scheme, under the condition that the first drain pipe is closed, the condensed water flows towards the outdoor heat exchanger through the first drain hole, thereby cooling the first heat exchange section, and the condensed water that fails to evaporate will fall into the water receiving portion. Therefore, if the first liquid level height in the water receiving portion is greater than or equal to the preset height, it indicates that the amount of water in the water receiving portion is sufficient to support the operation of the water hitting portion to cool the outdoor heat exchanger. Therefore, the water hitting portion can be controlled to run, and since the second heat exchange section is closer to the water hitting portion and the water receiving portion than the first heat exchange section, the water hitting portion can mainly cool the second heat exchange section. In this way, the overheating of the outdoor heat exchanger can be avoided, and the heat exchange efficiency between the outdoor heat exchanger and the air can be improved, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the mobile air conditioner.

[0092] Optionally, a liquid level detection device is arranged in the water receiving portion for detecting the height of the condensed water. The liquid level detection device is electrically connected to the control portion of the mobile air conditioner. The liquid level detection device can be a float ball liquid level detection device or other existing liquid level detection devices, which will not be described here.

[0093] Figure 8 is a flowchart of a control method for a mobile air conditioner.

[0094] In combination with Figure 8 , the control method for a mobile air conditioner further comprises:

[0095] S81, in a case that the water hitting part operates for a first preset time length, a third temperature of the first heat exchange section and a fourth temperature of the second heat exchange section are obtained.

[0096] S82, if the third temperature is within a third temperature range and the fourth temperature is within a fourth temperature range, the mobile air conditioner is controlled to operate according to current set operating parameters.

[0097] The upper limit value of the third temperature range is less than the first preset temperature value, and the upper limit value of the fourth temperature range is less than the second preset temperature value.

[0098] In the scheme, in a case that the first drain pipe is closed, i.e., not connected, if the third temperature is greater than the upper limit value of the third temperature range and less than the first preset temperature value, and the fourth temperature is less than the second preset temperature value, it can be determined that the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is normal. At this time, the mobile air conditioner can be controlled to continue operating according to the current set operating parameters.

[0099] Optionally, the first preset time length is set at the factory, and is determined by a technician according to experimental data. For example, the first preset time length can be set to 10s, 15s, 20s, 30s, etc.

[0100] In an optional embodiment of the control method of the mobile air conditioner, the control method further includes: if the third temperature is greater than the upper limit value of the third temperature range and less than the first preset temperature value, and the fourth temperature is less than the second preset temperature value, an alarm prompt information is sent to prompt the user to clean according to the prompt information.

[0101] In the scheme, in a case that the first drain pipe is closed, i.e., not connected, if the third temperature is greater than the upper limit value of the third temperature range and less than the first preset temperature value, and the fourth temperature is less than the second preset temperature value, it can be determined that the first drain hole is blocked, and the third drain hole is not blocked. At this time, the outdoor heat exchanger can still continue to operate. However, since it is determined that the first drain hole is blocked, an alarm prompt information needs to be sent to the user, so that the user can clean the mobile air conditioner in time according to the alarm prompt information, so as to ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger, improve the energy efficiency, and avoid the first heat exchange section of the outdoor heat exchanger being in an overheated state for a long time, thereby prolonging the service life.

[0102] Alternatively, the third upper limit threshold value of the third temperature range is less than the first lower limit temperature threshold value of the first temperature range, and the fourth upper limit threshold value of the fourth temperature range is less than the second temperature lower limit threshold value of the second temperature range.

[0103] Optionally, the prompt information can be a voice prompt, or a sound prompt, or a light prompt. Further, the mobile air conditioner can be connected to a mobile control device of the user, such as a mobile phone or the like, at this time, the prompt information can be text information and sent to the mobile control device for the user to view. Further, the automatic reminder time length of the text information can be set. If the user does not view the text message for more than a third preset time length, the text information is sent again. If the user views the information immediately, the text information is sent again after a fourth preset time length, and the user confirms whether to clean.

[0104] Figure 9 is another flowchart of the control method of the mobile air conditioner provided by the application.

[0105] In combination with Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the control method of the mobile air conditioner further comprises:

[0106] S91, if the third temperature is greater than the upper limit value of the third temperature range and less than the first temperature preset value, and the fourth temperature is less than the second temperature preset value, the fifth temperature of the first heat exchange section and the sixth temperature of the second heat exchange section are obtained under the condition that the water punching part is operated for a second preset time length.

[0107] S92, if the fifth temperature is greater than the first temperature preset value, and the sixth temperature is greater than the second temperature preset value, the mobile air conditioner is controlled to stop running.

[0108] In this way, in the case of blockage of the first drain hole, the cooling effect of the first heat exchange section is poor, and the temperature will be higher and higher. Although the third drain hole can drain water, the drainage capacity of the third drain hole is limited, or the third drain hole may be blocked. In this way, in the case of continuous operation of the water punching part to cool the second heat exchange section, the condensate water in the water receiving part will gradually decrease, thereby further reducing the cooling effect of the second heat exchange section.

[0109] In the case of continuous operation of the mobile air conditioner, the outdoor heat exchanger will be overheated as a whole. Therefore, in the case of operation of the water punching part for a second preset time length, if the fifth temperature is greater than the first temperature preset value, and the sixth temperature is greater than the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the outdoor heat exchanger is overheated as a whole, that is, the first heat exchange section and the second heat exchange section are overheated, and the outdoor heat exchanger is not suitable for continuous operation, therefore, the mobile air conditioner needs to be controlled to stop running, so as to avoid long-time operation of the outdoor heat exchanger in an overheated state, thereby prolonging the service life of the outdoor heat exchanger, and further ensuring the normal operation of the mobile heat exchanger.

[0110] Optionally, the second preset time length is set at the factory, which is determined by technicians according to experimental data. For example, the first preset time length can be set to 5s, 15s, 20s, 30s, etc.

[0111] Alternatively, if the third temperature is greater than the upper limit of the third temperature range and less than the first temperature preset value, and the fourth temperature is less than the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the first drain hole is blocked, and the water receiving portion still contains condensed water for the water hitting portion to cool the second heat exchange section. However, in the case that the water hitting portion continuously operates to cool the second heat exchange section, the condensed water in the water receiving portion will gradually decrease, which will further cause the cooling effect of the second heat exchange section to be poor. In the case that the water hitting portion operates for the second preset time length, if the fifth temperature is greater than the first temperature preset value, and the sixth temperature is greater than the second temperature preset value, it indicates that both the first heat exchange section and the second heat exchange section are overheated, and the outdoor heat exchanger is not suitable for continuous operation, therefore, the mobile air conditioner needs to be controlled to stop operating to avoid the outdoor heat exchanger operating for a long time in an overheated state.

[0112] In the optional embodiment of the control method of the mobile air conditioner, if the sixth temperature is greater than the upper limit of the fourth temperature range and less than the second temperature preset value, the mobile air conditioner issues a water shortage prompt and controls the water hitting portion to stop operating.

[0113] In this scheme, if the sixth temperature is greater than the upper limit of the fourth temperature range and less than the second temperature preset value, it indicates that the water hitting portion is in an operating state, but the cooling effect of the outdoor heat exchanger is poor. At this time, in the case that the water hitting portion operates, the temperature of the second heat exchange section is in the range of the operating temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger in a non-overheated state when the water hitting portion does not operate, which indicates that the water amount in the water receiving portion is insufficient, therefore, the mobile air conditioner is controlled to issue a water shortage prompt and control the water hitting portion to stop operating.

[0114] Further, at this time, the rotating speed of the outdoor fan can be controlled to increase to increase the air intake amount, and further improve the cooling effect of the outdoor heat exchanger to avoid overheating.

[0115] In the optional embodiment of the control method of the mobile air conditioner, the water receiving portion includes a second drain pipe which is detachably connected; the control method further includes: obtaining the second liquid level height in the water receiving portion, if the second liquid level height is greater than or equal to the preset height, controlling the first drain pipe to open, and / or, controlling the second drain pipe to open.

[0116] In the scheme, the liquid level detection device detects the liquid level height in the water receiving part in real time. If the second liquid level height is greater than or equal to the preset height, it indicates that the amount of condensate in the water receiving part is relatively large. At this time, the condensate in the water receiving tray is relatively large, and if it cannot be discharged in time, the condensate will overflow from the water receiving tray and / or the water receiving part, corroding other components. Therefore, it is necessary to control the first drain pipe to be opened, that is, the first drain pipe is connected; or control the second drain pipe to be opened, that is, the second drain pipe is connected; or control the first drain pipe and the second drain pipe to be opened, that is, the first drain pipe and the second drain pipe are connected. In this way, the discharge of condensate is realized.
