The return air is absorbed through the return air duct, and the treated air is sent out through the supply air duct to achieve indoor air conditioning. During the operation of the air conditioner, the operation of the compressor needs to be controlled according to the indoor return air temperature. However, since the temperature sensor for detecting the indoor return air temperature is generally placed in a fixed position, it can only reflect the temperature at the placement point. Since the air duct is generally long, it is difficult to avoid air leakage and heat leakage during the air circulation process, resulting in inaccurate detection of the indoor return air temperature. The indoor return air temperature is the control target of the air conditioner. If the detection is inaccurate, it will cause abnormal control of the air conditioner and affect the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0055] The optional embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] During the operation of the air conditioner, it is necessary to control the operation of the compressor according to the indoor return air temperature. However, since the temperature sensor for detecting the indoor return air temperature is generally placed in a fixed position, it can only reflect the temperature at the placement point. Since the air duct pipes are generally long, it is difficult to avoid air leakage and heat leakage during the air circulation process, resulting in inaccurate detection of the indoor return air temperature. The indoor return air temperature is the control target of the air conditioner. If the detection is inaccurate, it will cause abnormal control of the air conditioner and affect the comfort of the air conditioner.

[0058] Aiming at the problem in the prior art that the return air temperature of the air conditioner is inaccurately detected due to the return air duct being too long, causing the air conditioner to be abnormally controlled, this embodiment provides a compressor operation control method, which is applied to the air conditioner. Figure 1 The structural diagram of the existing air conditioner is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner includes a compressor 1, a condenser 2, a throttling component 3 and an evaporator 4, an internal fan 5 is also provided at the evaporator 4, an external fan 6 is provided at the condenser 2, and also includes a return air temperature sensor 7, an evaporator tube temperature sensor 8 and an outdoor ambient temperature sensor 9, wherein the return air temperature sensor 7 is arranged at the return air inlet of the air conditioner for detecting the air temperature at the return air inlet, the evaporator tube temperature sensor 8 is arranged at the outlet end of the evaporator for detecting the temperature of the outlet end of the evaporator, and the outdoor ambient temperature sensor 9 is arranged in the outdoor environment for detecting the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0059] Figure 2 FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a compressor operation control method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the compressor operation control method includes:

[0060] S101, calculating a standard return air temperature according to the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature; wherein a correspondence between the standard return air temperature, the evaporator tube temperature, and the outdoor ambient temperature is pre-stored.

[0061] In specific implementation, the temperature of the outlet end of the evaporator, i.e., the evaporator tube temperature, is detected by the evaporator tube temperature sensor 8, and the outdoor ambient temperature is detected by the outdoor ambient temperature sensor 9, and then the standard return air temperature is calculated based on the two temperature values.

[0062] Different outdoor ambient temperatures and different indoor ambient temperatures will cause different compressor output loads, which will cause different system parameters. In this embodiment, before executing the above-mentioned compressor operation control method, the return air temperature under different outdoor ambient temperatures and different evaporator tube temperatures is first tested to obtain the corresponding relationship between the standard return air temperature and the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, and then store it in the system.

[0063] S102, calculating a first difference between the return air temperature detection value and the standard return air temperature, and calculating a second difference between the return air temperature detection value and the set temperature.

[0064] S103, controlling the compressor to start or stop according to the first difference and the second difference.

[0065] After the return air temperature is detected by the sensor, the accuracy of the return air temperature is determined by calculating the first difference between the return air temperature and the standard return air temperature. The compressor shutdown condition is determined by the second difference between the return air temperature detection value and the set temperature. By combining the first difference and the second difference, the compressor can be accurately controlled to start or stop.

[0066] The compressor operation control method of the present embodiment calculates the standard return air temperature according to the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature based on the correspondence between the standard return air temperature and the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, and then calculates the first difference between the return air temperature detection value and the standard return air temperature, and the second difference between the return air temperature detection value and the set temperature, respectively. Whether the return air temperature is accurate is determined by calculating the first difference between the return air temperature and the standard return air temperature, and whether the compressor shutdown condition is met is determined by the second difference between the return air temperature detection value and the set temperature. The compressor is controlled to start or stop according to the above-mentioned first difference and the above-mentioned second difference, which can avoid the problem of inaccurate return air temperature detection and abnormal air conditioner control, improve the accuracy of air conditioner control, and thus improve user experience.

[0067] Due to different outdoor ambient temperatures and different indoor ambient temperatures, the compressor output load is different, which will cause different air conditioner operating parameters. By measuring the return air temperature under different ambient temperatures and different evaporator tube temperatures, the corresponding relationship between the evaporator tube temperature and the indoor return air temperature under different outdoor ambient temperatures can be obtained. Figure 3 : is a corresponding relationship diagram between the evaporator tube temperature and the indoor return air temperature at the same outdoor ambient temperature according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, at the same outdoor ambient temperature, the relationship between the evaporator tube temperature and the indoor return air temperature is a curve, and is positively correlated. In summary, the correspondence between the standard return air temperature, the evaporator tube temperature, and the outdoor ambient temperature is pre-stored, including: testing the return air temperature at the same outdoor temperature and different evaporator tube temperatures, and the return air temperature at the end of the return air duct at the same evaporator tube temperature and different outdoor temperatures in sequence; wherein the end of the return air duct is the end away from the room; fitting the functional relationship between the return air temperature at the end of the return air duct and the outdoor temperature and the evaporator tube temperature, and obtaining the correspondence between the standard return air temperature, the evaporator tube temperature, and the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0068] To facilitate program processing, the unknown fitting coefficient can be pre-set to establish a function model, and the obtained return air temperature, outdoor temperature, and evaporator tube temperature are substituted into the above function model to calculate the fitting coefficient. In one embodiment of the present invention, T3 = aT1 2+bT1+c / T2, that is, the corresponding relationship between the standard return air temperature and the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature is:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, T1 is the standard return air temperature, T3 is the evaporator tube temperature, T2 is the outdoor ambient temperature, a is the first fitting coefficient, b is the fitting coefficient, and c is the third fitting coefficient.

[0071] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, three fitting coefficients are set, and the highest order is quadratic. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, more fitting coefficients may be set, and the highest order is more times. For example, T3=aT1 3 +bT1 2 +cT1+d / T2.

[0072] In order to compensate for the detection error of the return air temperature and thus accurately control the start and stop of the compressor, the compressor is controlled to start or stop according to the above-mentioned first difference and the above-mentioned second difference, including: determining the interval in which the first difference is located and the interval in which the second difference is located; controlling the compressor to start or stop according to the interval in which the first difference is located and the interval in which the second difference is located.

[0073] In order to avoid frequent control of compressor start and stop, the return air temperature can be allowed to fluctuate within a certain range. Compensation control is performed only when it exceeds this range. At the same time, after the return air temperature is in a certain interval, the compressor can be controlled to maintain the current operating state unchanged. When it exceeds this interval, the operating state of the compressor is controlled to change. Therefore, the compressor is controlled to start or stop according to the interval in which the first difference value is located and the interval in which the second difference value is located, including: if the first difference value is less than the lower limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is low, and the actual return air temperature has not dropped to the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to start and continue to run; if the first difference value is greater than the upper limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is high, and the actual return air temperature has dropped below the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to stop; if the first difference value is greater than the first preset interval, it indicates that the difference between the return air temperature detection value and the actual return air temperature is small, and the influence of the detection error can be ignored, then the compressor can continue to be controlled to start or stop according to the interval in which the second difference value is located.

[0074] In order to further accurately control the start and stop of the compressor, ensure that the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, and avoid frequent start and stop of the compressor, the compressor is controlled to start or stop according to the interval in which the second difference is located, including: if the second difference is less than the lower limit of the second preset interval, indicating that the indoor ambient temperature is already lower than the set temperature, the compressor is controlled to stop; if the second difference is within the second preset interval, or is greater than the upper limit of the second preset interval, indicating that the indoor ambient temperature has not reached the set temperature, the compressor is controlled to start and continue to run.

[0075] After the compressor is controlled to stop, the indoor ambient temperature will rise again. In order to make the indoor ambient temperature always near the set temperature, the above-mentioned compressor operation control method also includes: after the compressor is controlled to stop, continue to control the compressor to start or stop according to the interval of the first difference and the interval of the second difference.

[0076] Similarly, in order to avoid frequent control of compressor start and stop, the return air temperature can be allowed to fluctuate within a certain range. Compensation control is performed only when it exceeds this range. At the same time, after the return air temperature is in a certain interval, the compressor can be controlled to maintain the current operating state unchanged. When it exceeds this interval, the operating state of the compressor is controlled to change. The compressor is controlled to start or stop according to the interval in which the above-mentioned first difference value is located and the interval in which the above-mentioned second difference value is located, including: if the first difference value is less than the lower limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is low, and the actual return air temperature has not dropped to the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to start; if the first difference value is greater than the upper limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is high, and the actual return air temperature has dropped below the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to stop; if the first difference value is greater than the first preset interval, it indicates that the difference between the return air temperature detection value and the actual return air temperature is small, and the influence of the detection error can be ignored, then the compressor can continue to be controlled to start or stop according to the interval in which the second difference value is located.

[0077] In order to further accurately control the start and stop of the compressor, ensure that the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, and avoid frequent start and stop of the compressor, the compressor is controlled to start or stop according to the interval in which the second difference is located, including: if the above-mentioned second difference is less than the lower limit of the second preset interval, or is within the second preset interval, the compressor is controlled to stop, that is, maintain the current operating state; if the above-mentioned second difference is greater than the upper limit of the second preset interval, the compressor is controlled to start.

[0078] Example 2

[0079] This embodiment provides another compressor operation control method. The air conditioner of this embodiment is an integrated type, including a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, a throttling component, an indoor fan, an outdoor fan, etc. It also includes a control component, an indoor return air temperature sensor, an outdoor return air temperature sensor, and an indoor evaporator pipe temperature sensor.

[0080] Different outdoor ambient temperatures and different indoor ambient temperatures will cause different compressor output loads, which will cause different system parameters. By measuring the unit operating parameters at different ambient temperatures, the difference between the evaporator tube temperature and the indoor return air temperature at different outdoor ambient temperatures can be obtained. For the convenience of program processing, the following fitting formula can be used for processing. The specific coefficient value is only an example and is not specifically limited.

[0081] In this embodiment, the functional relationship between the evaporator tube temperature T3, the outdoor ambient temperature T2 and the wind temperature detection value T1 is expressed as: T3 = aT1 2 +bT1+c / T2, in specific implementation, a=-0.018; b=1.19; c=-98 can be set.

[0082] In cooling mode, the evaporator tube temperature T3 and the outdoor ambient temperature T2 are detected during the operation of the air conditioner, and the standard return air temperature is calculated based on the evaporator tube temperature T3 and the outdoor ambient temperature T2. The return air temperature detection value is compared with the standard return air temperature. According to the difference between the return air temperature detection value and the standard return air temperature, it is determined whether the return air temperature needs to be corrected. Combined with the difference with the set temperature, it is accurately judged whether it is necessary to shut down at the temperature point to avoid the problem of frequent starting and stopping of the compressor due to the actual temperature not reaching the user setting, which affects comfort.

[0083] Specifically, after the compressor runs for a preset time (for example, 5 minutes), the system state tends to be stable. At this time, the return air temperature, evaporator tube temperature and outdoor ambient temperature are detected synchronously. The indoor return air temperature sensor temperature T1 is detected and the average value is taken every 40 seconds; the outdoor return air temperature sensor temperature T2 is detected and the average value is taken every 40 seconds; the evaporator tube temperature sensor temperature T3 is detected and the average value is taken every 40 seconds, recorded as T3;

[0084] According to T3 and T2, and the formula T3 = aT1 2 +bT1+c / T2, the standard return air temperature T10 can be calculated. By judging the difference between the return air temperature detection values ​​T1 and T10, the difference between the unit's detected return air temperature and the calculated return air temperature is marked:

[0085]

[0086] On the other hand, the difference between T1A and T setting is determined to preliminarily mark the next operating status of the compressor.

[0087] T1A-T Settings <-1 -1~1 ≥1 Compressor marking stop maintain open

[0088] Based on the return air compensation mark and the compressor mark, the following table is processed for the next operation control of the unit compressor:

[0089]

[0090]

[0091] When the compressor stops, there is no heat exchange in the indoor evaporator, and T10 = T3. The next step of the compressor operation control is handled according to the following table:

[0092] Return air compensation mark:

[0093]

[0094] Compressor marking:

[0095] T1A-T Settings <-1 -1~1 ≥1 Compressor marking stop maintain open

[0096]

[0097] The compressor operation control method of this embodiment controls the start and stop of the air conditioner based on the actual operating status parameters of the air conditioner, avoids the problem of large temperature detection deviation caused by too long air duct, and solves the problem that the return air temperature cannot be accurately reflected due to the single return air temperature sensing package.

[0098] Example 3

[0099] This embodiment provides a compressor operation control device, Figure 4 : is a structural block diagram of a compressor operation control device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, the compressor operation control device includes:

[0100] The first calculation module 10 is used to calculate the standard return air temperature according to the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature; wherein the corresponding relationship between the standard return air temperature, the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature is pre-stored.

[0101] Different outdoor ambient temperatures and different indoor ambient temperatures will cause different compressor output loads, which will cause different system parameters. In this embodiment, before executing the above-mentioned compressor operation control method, the return air temperature under different outdoor ambient temperatures and different evaporator tube temperatures is first tested to obtain the corresponding relationship between the standard return air temperature and the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, and then store it in the system.

[0102] The second operation module 20 is used to calculate a first difference between the return air temperature detection value and the standard return air temperature; and to calculate a second difference between the return air temperature detection value and the set temperature.

[0103] The control module 30 is used to control the compressor to start or stop according to the first difference and the second difference.

[0104] After the return air temperature is detected by the sensor, the accuracy of the return air temperature is determined by calculating the first difference between the return air temperature and the standard return air temperature. The compressor shutdown condition is determined by the second difference between the return air temperature detection value and the set temperature. By combining the first difference and the second difference, the compressor can be accurately controlled to start or stop.

[0105] The compressor operation control device of the present embodiment calculates the standard return air temperature according to the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature based on the correspondence between the standard return air temperature and the evaporator tube temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, and then respectively calculates the first difference between the return air temperature detection value and the standard return air temperature, and calculates the second difference between the return air temperature detection value and the set temperature. The compressor is controlled to be started or stopped according to the above-mentioned first difference and the above-mentioned second difference, which can avoid the problem of inaccurate return air temperature detection and abnormal air conditioner control, thereby improving the accuracy of air conditioner control and thus improving user experience.

[0106] In order to compensate for the detection error of the return air temperature and thus accurately control the start and stop of the compressor, the control module 30 controls the compressor to start or stop according to the above-mentioned first difference and the above-mentioned second difference, and specifically performs the following operations: determining the interval in which the above-mentioned first difference is located and the interval in which the above-mentioned second difference is located; controlling the compressor to start or stop according to the interval in which the first difference is located and the interval in which the second difference is located.

[0107] In order to avoid frequent control of compressor start and stop, the return air temperature can be allowed to fluctuate within a certain range. Compensation control is performed only when it exceeds this range. At the same time, after the return air temperature is in a certain interval, the compressor can be controlled to maintain the current operating state unchanged. When it exceeds this interval, the operating state of the compressor is controlled to change. Therefore, when the control module 30 controls the compressor to start or stop according to the interval where the above-mentioned first difference is located and the interval where the above-mentioned second difference is located, the following specific operations are performed: when the first difference is less than the lower limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is low, and the return air temperature has not actually dropped to the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to start and continue to run; when the first difference is greater than the upper limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is high, and the return air temperature has actually dropped below the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to stop; when the first difference is greater than the first preset interval, it indicates that the difference between the return air temperature detection value and the actual return air temperature is small, and the influence of the detection error can be ignored. Therefore, the compressor can continue to be controlled to start or stop according to the interval where the second difference is located.

[0108] In order to further accurately control the start and stop of the compressor, ensure that the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, and avoid frequent start and stop of the compressor, the control module 30 performs the following operations when controlling the compressor to start or stop according to the interval in which the second difference is located: when the above-mentioned second difference is less than the lower limit of the second preset interval, it indicates that the indoor ambient temperature is already lower than the set temperature, and the compressor is controlled to stop; when the second difference is within the second preset interval, or is greater than the upper limit of the second preset interval, it indicates that the indoor ambient temperature has not reached the set temperature, and the compressor is controlled to start and continue to run.

[0109] After the compressor is controlled to stop, the indoor ambient temperature will rise again. In order to make the indoor ambient temperature always near the set temperature, the control module 30 is also used to: after the compressor is controlled to stop, continue to control the compressor to start or stop according to the interval of the first difference and the interval of the second difference.

[0110] Similarly, in order to avoid frequent control of compressor start and stop, the return air temperature can be allowed to fluctuate within a certain range. Compensation control is performed only when it exceeds this range. At the same time, after the return air temperature is in a certain interval, the compressor can be controlled to maintain the current operating state unchanged. When it exceeds this interval, the operating state of the compressor is controlled to change. The control module 30 controls the compressor to start or stop according to the interval in which the first difference is located and the interval in which the second difference is located, including: if the first difference is less than the lower limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is low, and the actual return air temperature has not dropped to the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to start; if the first difference is greater than the upper limit of the first preset interval, it indicates that the currently detected return air temperature is high, and the actual return air temperature has dropped below the detection value, so the compressor is controlled to stop; if the first difference is greater than the first preset interval, it indicates that the difference between the return air temperature detection value and the actual return air temperature is small, and the influence of the detection error can be ignored, then the compressor can continue to be controlled to start or stop according to the interval in which the second difference is located.

[0111] In order to further accurately control the start and stop of the compressor, ensure that the indoor temperature reaches the set temperature, and avoid frequent start and stop of the compressor, the control module 30 performs the following operations when controlling the compressor to start or stop according to the interval in which the above-mentioned second difference is located: when the above-mentioned second difference is less than the lower limit of the second preset interval, or is within the second preset interval, the compressor is controlled to stop, that is, to maintain the current operating state; when the above-mentioned second difference is greater than the upper limit of the second preset interval, the compressor is controlled to start.
