Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a method and system for reducing vibration of an air conditioning outdoor unit. Background Technology

[0002] When air conditioners operate in harsh and changeable weather conditions, the compressor load power and operating frequency vary greatly. Because the outdoor unit casing is large and lacks reinforcement near the center, it is prone to significant vibration as the compressor's operating conditions change. This can lead to resonance in the outdoor unit casing and the generation of abnormal noises. Sharp noises can affect the user experience, and long-term accumulation can lead to a decrease in the structural strength of the casing or even loosening and detachment of structural connections.

[0003] Currently, during the production of outdoor units, rubber and plastic gaskets are attached between the internal support panel and the external casing panel of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The gaskets are attached between the panels with tape to fill the gap between the internal support panel and the external casing panel, giving the panel a supporting force to reduce amplitude and eliminate resonance problems.

[0004] However, since compressors can cause casing vibration under different operating frequencies, and the thickness of the gasket is currently fixed after installation, the amount of support it provides cannot be adjusted, thus making it impossible to adjust according to changes in specific operating conditions. If a thicker gasket is used to provide support, the panel around the gasket may deform irreversibly due to excessive support, potentially causing resonance and abnormal noise during operation. Therefore, this method cannot solve the casing resonance problem caused by the compressor at different operating frequencies, limiting its applicability. Summary of the Invention

[0009] According to a vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the present invention, the airbag liner has a natural state and a fully inflated state; in the natural state, the internal air pressure of the airbag liner is zero; in the fully inflated state, the internal air pressure of the airbag liner reaches its maximum value; the method includes: setting the airbag liner to the natural state before starting the air conditioner outdoor unit; and controlling the inflation component to deflate the airbag liner after turning off the air conditioner outdoor unit, so that the airbag liner returns to the natural state.

[0010] According to a vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the present invention, the inflation assembly inflates the airbag liner in its natural state, and has a first inflation stage and a second inflation stage; the method includes: in the first inflation stage, the inflation assembly supplies air to the airbag liner at a first inflation speed; in the second inflation stage, the inflation assembly supplies air to the airbag liner at a second inflation speed; the first inflation speed is greater than the second inflation speed.

[0011] According to the present invention, a vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit includes: continuously detecting the support force value exerted by the airbag liner on the internal support panel and / or the external housing panel during the process of the inflation assembly adjusting the air pressure in the airbag liner; when the support force value remains stable, the inflation assembly operates in the first inflation stage; after the support force value changes, the inflation assembly switches from the first inflation stage to the second inflation stage.

[0012] The present invention also provides a vibration reduction system for an air conditioner outdoor unit, comprising: a vibration reduction module, including an airbag liner and an inflation component, wherein the airbag liner is disposed between the internal support panel and the external housing panel of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the inflation component is used to adjust the air pressure inside the airbag liner; a detection component, used to acquire vibration parameters of the internal support panel and / or the external housing panel; and a control module, used to implement the vibration reduction method for the air conditioner outdoor unit as described above when executing a control program.

[0013] According to the present invention, an air conditioning outdoor unit vibration reduction system includes an inflation assembly comprising an air source, an air passage pipe, a shut-off valve, and a flow regulating valve; the air source is connected to the air port of the airbag liner through the air passage pipe, and the shut-off valve and the flow regulating valve are connected in series on the air passage pipe to close the air port of the airbag liner or to regulate the gas flow rate in the air passage pipe.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0024] In existing technology, to reduce the vibration of the air conditioner outdoor unit's casing during operation, a gasket is used to fill the space between the internal support panel and the external casing panel. To avoid poor fit due to an overly hard gasket material, the selected gasket usually has a certain elastic deformation margin. In actual selection, repeated testing and evaluation are required, but individual differences in products after processing and transportation (i.e., different resonance frequencies of materials of the same model) cannot be avoided. This results in a large workload for gasket selection, and in practical applications, it is difficult to fully exert the vibration reduction effect, causing abnormal noise from the air conditioner outdoor unit during operation.

[0025] This invention addresses the issue of abnormal noise generated by the resonance of the outdoor unit casing in different operating modes of air conditioner outdoor units. It provides an air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction method and system that can flexibly adjust the vibration reduction effect based on the actual vibration of the outdoor unit.

[0026] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 The present invention describes the vibration reduction method and vibration reduction system for an air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the middle part is the main body of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the left and right sides are the external shell panels of the air conditioner outdoor unit that can be opened. According to the technical solution of the present invention, the air conditioner outdoor unit is provided with an airbag liner 100 and an inflation assembly. The airbag liner 100 is disposed between the internal support panel and the external shell panel of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The external shell panel is the air conditioner outdoor unit housing, and the internal support panel is the structural support inside the air conditioner outdoor unit, or the internal equipment of the air conditioner outdoor unit (such as the outer shell of the electrical control box).

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the present invention includes: starting the air conditioner outdoor unit; continuously acquiring vibration parameters of the internal support panel and / or the external housing panel; controlling the inflation component to adjust the air pressure in the airbag liner 100 according to the vibration parameters until the vibration parameters meet the target threshold, and maintaining the current air pressure state of the airbag liner 100.

[0029] By using an adjustable-pressure airbag liner 100 instead of a conventional liner, a vibration reduction effect that can be flexibly adjusted according to actual vibration conditions is provided between the casings of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Specifically, after the air conditioner outdoor unit is started, as the compressor runs, the air pressure of the airbag liner 100 is adjusted by acquiring the vibration parameters of the internal support panel and / or the external casing panel. As the air pressure increases, when the airbag liner 100 provides appropriate support force between the internal support panel and the external casing panel, the vibration parameters meet the target threshold, and the airbag liner provides the optimal vibration reduction effect suitable for the current operating conditions. Therefore, the air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction method of the present invention can solve the defect in the prior art where abnormal noise is generated by the resonance of the outdoor unit casing under different operating modes, and realize an air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction scheme that can flexibly provide vibration reduction effect according to the operating conditions of the outdoor unit.

[0030] In the above embodiments, the setting of the target threshold is related to the detection method. For example, by detecting the amplitude value of the internal support panel and / or the external housing panel, the target threshold is a preset amplitude range. The airbag liner 100 is inflated or deflated by the inflation component so that the airbag liner 100 provides different elastic support forces between the internal support panel and the external housing panel until the amplitude value is limited within the target threshold, thereby controlling the vibration amplitude of the air conditioner outdoor unit housing within a suitable range and eliminating or reducing abnormal noise.

[0031] According to the vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the present invention, preferably, the vibration parameters include the amplitude values ​​of the internal support panel and / or the external casing panel; or, the vibration parameters include the supporting force values ​​exerted by the airbag pad 100 on the internal support panel and / or the external casing panel; or, the vibration parameters include both the amplitude values ​​of the internal support panel and / or the external casing panel and the supporting force values ​​exerted by the airbag pad 100 on the internal support panel and / or the external casing panel. Accordingly, the aforementioned target threshold values ​​are preset amplitude value ranges and / or supporting force value ranges.

[0032] When detecting the amplitude values ​​of the internal support panel and / or the external shell panel, it is preferable to set the detection point near the center of the panel. Compared to the position near the edge of the panel, the amplitude at the center of the panel is larger, making it easier to obtain detection results. Moreover, in order to more intuitively determine the impact of the airbag liner 100 on the amplitude during adjustment, the detection point is preferably also set adjacent to the airbag liner 100.

[0033] On the other hand, the support force value is determined by detecting the interaction force between the airbag liner 100 and the internal support panel and / or the external shell panel. During adjustment, the vibration status of the outdoor unit can be judged based on the fluctuation of this support force value. Within the force tolerance range of the internal support panel and the external shell panel, a suitable fluctuation range of the support force value can be preset as a target threshold.

[0034] According to a vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the present invention, after the vibration parameters meet the target threshold, the vibration parameters of the internal support panel and / or the external shell panel are collected again every N1 minutes; if the vibration parameters collected again meet the target threshold, the collection process lasts for N2 seconds; if the vibration parameters collected again do not meet the target threshold, the inflation component is controlled to adjust the air pressure in the airbag liner according to the newly collected vibration parameters, and the collection process continues until the vibration parameters meet the target threshold.

[0035] Specifically, the aforementioned vibration parameters are acquired as soon as the outdoor unit is started. Once the vibration parameters meet the target threshold, control of the inflation component can be stopped, and the air inlet of the airbag liner 100 is kept closed to maintain the air pressure of the airbag liner 100. However, to prevent changes in vibration parameters due to environmental influences on the compressor or changes in the operating mode of the air conditioning system, the vibration reduction method for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention preferably also includes a normalized monitoring mode.

[0036] According to this method, the system preferably enters a normal monitoring mode after the vibration parameters meet the target threshold. In normal monitoring mode, vibration parameters of the internal support panel and / or the external shell panel are collected again every N1 minutes to determine whether the current vibration parameters still meet the target threshold. If the vibration parameters still meet the target threshold, each working period lasts for N2 seconds. The N1-minute interval can be preset in the control logic or set by the user according to actual needs; for example, N1 minutes can be 10-60 minutes, preferably 30 minutes. The N2-second continuous detection duration can be preset in the control logic or set by the user according to actual needs; for example, N2 seconds can be 1-10 seconds, preferably 5 seconds.

[0037] In normal monitoring mode, the air pressure of the airbag liner 100 can be periodically corrected to maintain its vibration damping effect on the air conditioner outdoor unit casing, while also saving energy. If the vibration parameters deviate from the target threshold range during operation, it is preferable to enter emergency monitoring mode, which will continuously monitor the vibration parameters until the vibration parameters meet the target threshold again, and then return to normal monitoring mode.

[0038] The airbag liner 100 has a natural state and a fully inflated state. In the natural state, the internal air pressure of the airbag liner 100 is zero; in the fully inflated state, the internal air pressure of the airbag liner 100 reaches its maximum value. It is understood that in the technical solution of this invention, the internal air pressure of the airbag liner 100 is always regulated within a range below its maximum value. In the natural state, the airbag liner 100, based on its own material and structure, has its natural shape. In this state, the airbag liner 100 does not exert any supporting force on the internal support panel and the external shell panel, or preferably, the airbag liner 100 only provides elastic force based on its own elastic material.

[0039] According to the present invention, a vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit includes: before starting the air conditioner outdoor unit, setting the airbag liner 100 to a natural state to prevent the airbag liner 100 from being stretched by air pressure for a long time, leading to material fatigue deformation and affecting the vibration reduction effect. After the air conditioner outdoor unit is turned off, the air vent of the airbag liner 100 can be opened so that it can automatically discharge gas under its own elastic force and the pressure of the internal support panel and the external shell panel. Alternatively, preferably, after the air conditioner outdoor unit is turned off, the inflation component is controlled to discharge the airbag liner 100 (e.g., by running the air pump in reverse to extract the gas inside the airbag liner 100) so that the airbag liner 100 returns to a natural state.

[0040] When the inflation assembly inflates the airbag liner 100 in its natural state, it preferably has a first inflation stage and a second inflation stage. According to a vibration reduction method for an air conditioner outdoor unit provided by the present invention, the method includes: in the first inflation stage, the inflation assembly supplies air to the airbag liner 100 at a first inflation speed; in the second inflation stage, the inflation assembly supplies air to the airbag liner 100 at a second inflation speed; the first inflation speed is greater than the second inflation speed.

[0041] The first inflation stage can be understood as a fast-charging mode, and the second inflation stage as a slow-charging mode. In the first inflation stage, the inflation component rapidly inflates the airbag liner 100, allowing its vibration-damping effect to act more quickly between the internal support panel and the external shell panel. However, when the vibration parameters approach the target threshold under the influence of the airbag liner 100, to prevent damage to the internal support panel and external shell panel due to excessive inflation and supporting force, the slow-charging mode of the second inflation stage is preferred. This allows for more precise control of the vibration parameters to match the target threshold through continuous monitoring of the amplitude and / or supporting force values.

[0042] According to the present invention, an air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction method is provided. Based on the above division of the first inflation stage and the second inflation stage, the method preferably further includes: continuously detecting the support force value applied by the airbag liner 100 to the internal support panel and / or the external shell panel during the process of adjusting the air pressure in the airbag liner 100 by the inflation assembly.

[0043] When the support force remains constant, the airbag pad 100 has not yet been expanded by the internal gas, and the inflation component operates in the first inflation stage, thereby quickly inflating the airbag pad 100 and reducing the time consumed from system startup to the airbag pad 100 exerting its vibration damping effect. After the support force changes, the airbag pad 100 gradually increases in volume as the internal air pressure rises. At this time, the inflation component switches from the first inflation stage to the second inflation stage to reduce the inflation speed, thereby enabling more precise control of the air volume adjustment of the airbag pad 100 by the inflation component, and thus enabling the vibration parameters to more accurately match the target threshold.

[0044] According to one specific embodiment, the target threshold includes a preset maximum amplitude value A and a preset maximum support force value F. When the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is running, the detected vibration parameters are compared with the preset target threshold to determine whether it is necessary to change the volume of the airbag liner 100 to adjust the support force on the internal support panel and the external shell panel. When the amplitude value is greater than A, the airbag liner 100 begins to inflate and pressurize in its natural state (i.e., inflating and pressurizing from a state without support force), and the inflation assembly initially operates in the first inflation stage. When the support force value changes, the inflation assembly immediately enters the second inflation stage until the amplitude value is qualified (i.e., the amplitude value is less than or equal to A).

[0045] During the application of the above embodiments, it is necessary to ensure that the support force value is always less than or equal to F to prevent excessive support force from causing deformation of the internal support panel or the external shell panel. Within the range where the support force value is less than or equal to F, the preset support force range can be divided into multiple intervals, such as 0 to F1, F1 to F2...Fn-1 to Fn, Fn to F. When the support force value increases from one support force interval to the next, the inflation speed of the airbag pad 100 can be further reduced, thereby continuously and finely adjusting the support force on the shell and further improving the accuracy of the vibration damping effect adjustment of this solution.

[0046] Based on the aforementioned method for reducing vibration of an air conditioner outdoor unit, this invention also provides a vibration reduction system for an air conditioner outdoor unit, comprising: a vibration reduction module, including an airbag pad 100 and an inflation assembly, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the airbag liner 100 is disposed between the internal support panel and the external housing panel of the air conditioner outdoor unit. The inflation component is used to adjust the air pressure inside the airbag liner 100. The detection component is used to acquire the vibration parameters of the internal support panel and / or the external housing panel. The control module is used to implement the air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction method of any of the above embodiments when executing the control program.

[0047] This air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction system replaces conventional pads with adjustable-pressure airbag pads 100, providing a vibration reduction effect that can be flexibly adjusted according to actual vibration conditions within the air conditioner outdoor unit's casing. Specifically, after the air conditioner outdoor unit is started, as the compressor runs, the air pressure of the airbag pads 100 is adjusted by acquiring the vibration parameters of the internal support panel and / or the external casing panel. As the air pressure increases, when the airbag pads 100 provide suitable support between the internal support panel and the external casing panel, the vibration parameters meet the target threshold, and the airbag pads provide the optimal vibration reduction effect suitable for the current operating conditions. Therefore, the air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction system of this invention can solve the defect in the prior art where abnormal noise is generated by the resonance of the outdoor unit casing under different operating modes, realizing an air conditioner outdoor unit vibration reduction solution that can flexibly provide vibration reduction effects according to the operating conditions of the outdoor unit.

The air source can be an air pump, air compressor, or other air supply equipment. The air source can be located outside the air conditioner outdoor unit or integrated into the casing of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Preferably, the air source is connected to the air passage 111 via a reversing valve, allowing the reversing valve to switch between inflating and deflating the airbag liner 100.

[0049] When multiple airbag pads 100 are installed on the same panel, the multiple airbag pads 100 are preferably distributed at intervals on the panel and connected in parallel to the air source. Among the multiple airbag pads 100, each airbag pad 100 is preferably equipped with a set of shut-off valves 112 and flow regulating valves 113, so that the air pressure can be adjusted for each airbag pad 100, so as to provide a more suitable vibration reduction effect for different vibration conditions at different positions of the panel.

Figure 2 As shown, in order to enable the airbag liner 100 to provide controllable support force in the inflation direction, the airbag liner 100 preferably includes a first end face 102, a second end face 103, and an elastically stretchable pleated cross-rib structure 101 located between the first end face 102 and the second end face 103 in the thickness direction. The first end face 102 is fixedly disposed on the internal support panel, and the second end face 103 is fixedly disposed on the external shell panel.

The electronic device serving as the control module may include: a processor, a communication interface, a memory, and a communication bus. The processor, communication interface, and memory communicate with each other via the communication bus.

[0053] Furthermore, the logical instructions in the aforementioned memory can be implemented as software functional units and sold or used as independent products, and can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art, or a part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product.
