[0041] The split air conditioner consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. When the construction team installs the unit for trial operation, they sometimes forget to open the stop valve. If the stop valve is not opened, the refrigerant will not circulate after the air conditioner is powered on, the system pressure will be high, and it is easy to cause damage.

[0042] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0043] See attached Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for monitoring a stop valve according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the stop valve monitoring method in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 101 to 105.

[0044] Step 101, after the compressor of the air conditioner has been running for a first preset time, determining a first difference between a current temperature of an indoor unit coil in the air conditioner and a reference temperature of the indoor unit coil in a current operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0045] In a specific implementation process, after the air conditioner is installed or repaired, the air conditioner is put into trial operation. During the trial operation, after the compressor of the air conditioner has run for a first preset time (such as 5 minutes), the current temperature of the indoor coil in the air conditioner can be obtained, and the current temperature of the indoor coil in the air conditioner is subtracted from the reference temperature of the indoor coil in the current operating mode of the air conditioner to obtain the first difference between the current temperature of the indoor coil and the reference temperature of the indoor coil in the current operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0046] In a specific implementation process, if the current operation mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, the first sampling temperature of the coil can be used as the reference temperature of the indoor unit coil. Specifically, when the air conditioner is in the heating mode, after the air conditioner receives the start command, the indoor fan will not run to prevent cold air from blowing into the room and affecting the user experience. Therefore, the first sampling temperature of the coil can be used as the reference temperature of the indoor unit coil.

[0047] In a specific implementation process, if the current operation mode of the air conditioner is cooling mode or dehumidification mode, the indoor unit can be controlled to run for the fourth preset time (2 minutes), and the lowest temperature of the indoor unit coil collected within the fourth preset time is used as the reference temperature of the indoor unit coil. Specifically, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode or dehumidification mode, after the air conditioner receives the start command, the indoor fan runs directly. In order to accurately detect the opening and closing status of the stop valve, the indoor unit can be controlled to run for the fourth preset time, and the temperature of the indoor unit coil is periodically sampled to obtain the temperature values ​​of multiple indoor unit coils, and the lowest temperature of the indoor unit coil collected within the fourth preset time is used as the reference temperature of the indoor unit coil.

[0048] Step 102: If the first difference is less than a first preset difference corresponding to the current operation mode of the air conditioner, the compressor is controlled to stop, and the number of times the first difference is less than the first preset difference is increased by 1;

[0049] In a specific implementation process, if the first difference is smaller than the first preset difference corresponding to the current operating mode of the air conditioner, it means that the stop valve may not be opened. At this time, the compressor can be controlled to shut down and the stop valve can be protected. However, occasionally the first difference is smaller than the first preset difference corresponding to the current operating mode of the air conditioner, and it cannot be confirmed that the stop valve is not opened. Therefore, the number of times the first difference is smaller than the first preset difference can be increased by 1.

[0050] In a specific implementation process, when the current operation mode of the air conditioner is the cooling mode or the dehumidification mode, the first preset difference may be 1° C. When the current operation mode of the air conditioner is the heating mode, the first preset difference may be 2° C.

[0051] Step 103, detecting whether the number of times reaches a preset number; if so, executing step 104, if not, executing step 105;

[0052] Step 104, determining that the stop valve is not opened, and maintaining the compressor in a shutdown state;

[0053] In a specific implementation process, if the number reaches a preset number, it can be clearly determined that the phenomenon is caused by the stop valve not being opened. At this time, it can be determined that the stop valve is not opened, the compressor is kept in a stopped state, and a fault code can be displayed, so that the air conditioner can perform the stop valve protection function to prevent the refrigerant from not circulating after the air conditioner is powered on, and the system pressure is high, which is easy to cause damage. In a specific implementation process, the preset number can be 3 times.

[0054] Step 105: When the compressor is shut down for a second preset time, restart the compressor and then perform the next detection.

[0055] In a specific implementation process, if the number of times does not reach the preset number of times, it means that the first difference may be less than the first preset difference corresponding to the current operation mode of the air conditioner due to other reasons, and when the compressor is stopped for a second preset time, the next detection can be performed after restarting. The second preset time is the preset minimum compressor stop time.

[0056] The monitoring method of the stop valve of the present embodiment determines the first difference between the current temperature of the indoor coil in the air conditioner and the reference temperature of the indoor coil in the current operating mode of the air conditioner after the compressor of the air conditioner has been running for a first preset time; if the first difference is less than the first preset difference corresponding to the current operating mode of the air conditioner, the compressor is controlled to stop, and the number of times the first difference is less than the first preset difference is increased by 1; if the number reaches the preset number, it is determined that the stop valve is not opened, and the compressor is maintained in a stopped state; if the number does not reach the preset number, when the length of time the compressor is stopped reaches a second preset length of time, the next detection is performed after restarting, so that it can accurately detect whether the stop valve is open, and when the stop valve is not open, the compressor is controlled to stop, so as to prevent the phenomenon that the refrigerant does not circulate and the system pressure is high, which is easy to cause damage, thereby improving the safety of the compressor operation.

[0057] See attached Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing the main steps of a method for monitoring a stop valve according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the stop valve monitoring method in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps 201 to 210.

[0058] Step 201, after the compressor of the air conditioner has been running for a first preset time, determining a first difference between a current temperature of an indoor unit coil in the air conditioner and a reference temperature of the indoor unit coil in a current operating mode of the air conditioner;

[0059] Step 202, detecting whether the first difference is less than a first preset difference corresponding to the current operation mode of the air conditioner; if so, executing step 203; if not, executing step 207;

[0060] Step 203, controlling the compressor to stop, and adding 1 to the number of times that the first difference is less than the first preset difference;

[0061] If the first difference is smaller than the first preset difference corresponding to the current operating mode of the air conditioner, in order to prevent high system pressure due to the stop valve not being opened and the refrigerant not circulating, the compressor can be controlled to shut down and the number of times the first difference is smaller than the first preset difference can be increased by 1.

[0062] Step 204, detecting whether the number of times reaches a preset number of times; if so, executing step 205, if not, executing step 206;

[0063] Step 205, determining that the stop valve is not opened, and maintaining the compressor in a shutdown state;

[0064] Step 206: When the compressor is shut down for a second preset time, restart the compressor and then perform the next detection.

[0065] Step 207, obtaining the return air temperature of the indoor unit;

[0066] If the difference is greater than or equal to the first preset difference corresponding to the current operating mode of the air conditioner, the return air temperature of the indoor unit can be obtained, and the second difference between the current temperature of the indoor unit coil and the return air temperature of the indoor unit can be calculated, and the second difference can be compared with the second preset difference (5°C).

[0067] Step 208: When the second difference between the current temperature of the indoor unit coil and the return air temperature of the indoor unit is greater than the second preset difference, start timing to obtain a first accumulated timing duration when the second difference is greater than the second preset difference in the current operation mode of the air conditioner;

[0068] In a specific implementation process, when the second difference between the current temperature of the indoor unit coil and the return air temperature of the indoor unit is greater than the second preset difference, timing starts to obtain the first accumulated timing duration when the second difference is greater than the second preset difference in the current operating mode of the air conditioner.

[0069] Step 209, determining the sum of the first accumulated timing duration and the second accumulated timing duration in other operating modes of the air conditioner;

[0070] In a specific implementation process, the sum of the first accumulated timing duration and the second accumulated duration in other operating modes of the air conditioner can be calculated, and the sum can be compared with the third preset duration (24h) to obtain a comparison result.

[0071] Step 210: If the sum is greater than or equal to a third preset time, it is determined that the stop valve is opened, and / or the stop valve protection control function is disabled until it is detected that the air conditioner is tested again, and then the stop valve protection function is turned on.

[0072] In a specific implementation process, if the sum is greater than or equal to a third preset time length, it is determined that the stop valve is opened, and / or the stop valve protection control function is disabled until it is detected that the air conditioner is being tested again, and then the stop valve protection function is turned on.

[0073] Specifically, when the accumulated timing duration in all air-conditioning operation modes is greater than or equal to the third preset duration, it indicates that the stop valve has been opened. In the absence of machine relocation, maintenance, etc., the stop valve is usually not closed. Therefore, it can be determined that the stop valve has been opened, and / or the stop valve protection control function is disabled. However, if the air conditioner is relocated, repaired, etc., after the air conditioner is powered on again, it is equivalent to the first power-on, and the air conditioner will be tested again. At this time, the stop valve protection function will be turned on again.

[0074] It should be pointed out that although the various steps in the above embodiments are described in a specific order, those skilled in the art can understand that in order to achieve the effects of the present invention, different steps do not have to be performed in such an order. They can be performed simultaneously (in parallel) or in other orders. These changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
