[0002] With the continuous development of air conditioners, there are various ways to drive a direct current fan on an air conditioner circuit board, for example, a main control chip directly drives a fan through pulse width modulation (PWM), and for another example, a main control chip communicates with a fan drive chip through a serial port, and then drives the fan through the fan drive chip.

In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous details are set forth. It should be appreciated that there is no intention to limit the application to the exact details as described. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the application.

[0066] First, the terms involved in this application are explained:

[0067] Air conditioner: Air Conditioner, generally includes cold / heat source equipment, cold and hot medium distribution system, terminal device and other auxiliary equipment. Mainly includes, refrigeration host, water pump, fan and pipeline system. The terminal device is responsible for using the cold and heat delivered by the distribution system to specifically process the air state, so that the air parameters of the target environment meet certain requirements.

[0068] Pulse width modulation: Pulse Width Modulation, PWM, a technique used in electronic and control systems to control the power supply of devices. PWM controls the average power transfer by rapidly switching signals at a fixed frequency, adjusting the width of the on-time (duty cycle).

[0069] Air conditioner fan: An important component in an air conditioning system, used to circulate and distribute air. It is usually located in the indoor unit or duct system, responsible for blowing air to the room or other parts of the air conditioning system. The main function of the air conditioner fan is to suck air in through rotating blades or propellers and distribute it to different rooms or areas through the duct system. It can help regulate indoor temperature, humidity and air flow, providing a comfortable indoor environment. Air conditioner fans are usually driven by electric motors and can adjust the speed and air volume as needed. By controlling the speed and air volume of the fan, temperature regulation, air circulation and air quality control functions can be achieved.

[0070] Feedback pin: In electronic circuits, the feedback pin is a pin or terminal used to provide a feedback signal. In the embodiments of this application, it is the pin that receives the fan feedback signal.

[0071] The embodiment of the present application provides a kind of air conditioner fan drive type determination method, device, electronic equipment and computer readable storage medium.The embodiment of the present application provides air conditioner fan drive type determination device suitable for air conditioner fan drive type determination method, which is applied to air conditioning equipment and the main control device of air conditioning equipment, such as wall-mounted air conditioner, stand-type air conditioner, window air conditioner, ceiling air conditioner, embedded air conditioner and the like.

[0072] In the prior art, with the continuous development of air conditioners, the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the popularization of air conditioner products is also more and more extensive, and users' comfort requirements for air conditioner products are also higher and higher.

[0073] However, in the existing air conditioner fan drive type determination technology, when judging the fan drive type of the air conditioning equipment, the fan type and parameters fixedly written in the memory are mainly read and recognized to realize the differentiation of different drive types of the fan of the air conditioning equipment. By reading and recognizing the fan type and parameters fixedly written in the memory, the program has low universality, and frequent changes in the development process are easy to change or check parameter information, which will increase the workload of developers. If the parameters in the program are incorrect and have been produced, relevant personnel need to return the program, which further increases the labor cost.

[0074] The embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner fan drive type determination method, device, electronic equipment and computer readable storage medium. First driving information and second driving information from the air conditioner control panel are received, wherein the first driving information is used to represent the driving condition of the air conditioner fan at the target speed within the first time, and the second driving information is used to represent the driving condition of the air conditioner fan at the target speed within the second time; in the case that the first driving information and the second driving information are consistent, the fan drive type of the air conditioner is determined according to the first driving information and the second driving information.

[0075] In summary, the air conditioner fan drive type determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application can confirm the driving circuit used by the air conditioner according to the feedback driving information, without frequently confirming the drive type and parameters of the air conditioner fan, thereby realizing the technical effects of avoiding frequent changes of fan drive type and parameters, reducing the workload of developers and reducing labor cost.

[0076] The following will be described in detail. It should be noted that the description order of the following embodiments is not limited as the priority order of the embodiments.

[0077] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of the detection equipment executing the air conditioner fan drive type determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure, and the specific execution process of the detection equipment executing the air conditioner fan drive type determination method is as follows:

[0078] S101: Receives first drive information and second drive information from the air conditioning control board.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, the first driving information is used to characterize the driving situation of the air conditioner fan at the target speed in the first time period, and the second driving information is used to characterize the driving situation of the air conditioner fan at the target speed in the second time period.

[0080] It should be noted that, before the second time, after receiving the first drive information returned by the air conditioning control board, the target speed is sent to the air conditioning control board (or the air conditioner), and the second drive information returned by the air conditioning control board is received.

[0081] As one possible embodiment, the air conditioning control board, i.e. the main control circuit board of the air conditioner, is becoming increasingly standardized as circuit boards continue to develop. Therefore, there may be one or more fan drive circuits on the circuit board.

[0082] Optionally, the air conditioner fan drive type determination method provided in this application embodiment further includes: sending the target speed to the air conditioner control board through a pulse width modulation drive circuit within a first time period, and sending the target speed to the air conditioner control board through a serial communication drive circuit within a first time period.

[0083] In this embodiment, an example is taken where a serial communication driver circuit and a pulse width modulation driver circuit exist on an air conditioner control board. Figure 2 The diagram shows the first process of the method for determining the air conditioner fan drive type using a dual-drive circuit. When the air conditioner is powered on, it enters the detection mode and sends the target speed to the air conditioner control board simultaneously through the serial communication drive circuit and the pulse width modulation drive circuit at the first moment (not at a specific moment, but at any time).

[0084] It should be noted that during the transmission of the target speed, the target speed can be converted into a signal form corresponding to the serial communication driver circuit and / or pulse width modulation driver circuit for transmission, so that the control board can identify it in time and drive the fan to run according to the target speed.

[0085] Optionally, the serial communication driver circuit sends the target rotation speed directly to the fan driver chip, and the fan driver drives the fan according to the target wind speed.

[0086] Optionally, the pulse width modulation drive circuit needs to adjust the duty cycle of the target speed through an algorithm to obtain a control signal, and then drive the fan.

[0087] In this embodiment, after sending the target speed to the air conditioning control board through the serial communication drive circuit and the pulse width modulation drive circuit, the first drive information returned by the air conditioning control board is received and stored in the memory.

[0088] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 The content of the first driving information can include, but is not limited to: no fan feedback and no serial communication data, fan feedback and no serial communication data, serial communication data and no fan feedback, fan feedback and serial communication data.

[0089] It should be noted that the fan feedback is the voltage signal of the fan feedback, and the fan is successfully driven to rotate, and a voltage signal can be sent. Whether the pulse width modulation driving circuit exists or is normal can be determined according to the voltage signal. For example: the fan will have high-low pulse voltage output to the control panel when rotating, and the fan will only have high or low voltage output to the control panel.

[0090] Correspondingly, the serial communication data is the data fed back by the fan through the serial communication. When the fan is successfully driven to rotate, communication data can also be sent. Whether the serial communication driving circuit exists or is normal can be determined according to the communication data. For example: the control panel sends the target speed to the fan driving chip through the serial port, and the fan driving chip controls the fan to start and obtains the fan speed. The fan driving chip will send the obtained fan speed back to the control panel. If not, the fan driving chip will not have communication data to reply to the control panel, and the driving circuit does not exist.

[0091] In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the first driving information returned by the air conditioner control panel, the received driving information can be stored, and the rotation and speed of the fan during the driving are recorded.

[0092] After receiving the first driving information returned by the air conditioner control panel, the air conditioner fan driving type determination method provided by the embodiment of the application further includes: sending a target speed to the air conditioner control panel through the pulse width modulation driving circuit within a second time, and sending a target speed to the air conditioner control panel through the serial communication driving circuit within the second time.

[0093] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 3 The second flowchart of the air conditioner fan driving type determination method of the double driving circuit is shown in the figure. After receiving the first driving information returned by the air conditioner control panel, the target speed is sent to the air conditioner control panel through the serial communication driving circuit and the pulse width modulation driving circuit at the same time within the second time.

[0094] It should be noted that the target speed sent at the first time and the target speed sent at the second time are the same.

[0095] In the embodiment of the application, if the second driving information returned by the control panel is received, the first driving information is obtained from the memory and compared, and the determination of the air conditioner fan driving type is completed.

[0096] Before receiving the first driving information and the second driving information from the air conditioner control panel, optionally, the air conditioner fan driving type determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises: when it is determined that the accumulated time length exceeds the preset time length, determining that the fan driving circuit of the air conditioner is abnormal.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the accumulated time length starts timing after the target rotating speed is sent to the air conditioner control panel.

[0098] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2 , when there is no fan feedback and no serial communication data, that is, when it is determined that the accumulated time length exceeds the preset time length, the first driving information returned by the air conditioner control panel cannot be received, and it is determined that the fan driving circuit of the air conditioner is abnormal (both the serial communication driving circuit and the pulse width modulation driving circuit are abnormal).

[0099] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 3 , when it is determined that the accumulated time length exceeds the preset time length, the second driving information returned by the air conditioner control panel cannot be received, and it is also determined that the fan driving circuit of the air conditioner is abnormal, that is, both the serial communication driving circuit and the pulse width modulation driving circuit are abnormal.

[0100] It should be noted that the first driving information and the second driving information can be transmitted through the feedback pin.

[0101] S102: In the case that the first driving information and the second driving information are consistent, determining the fan driving type of the air conditioner according to the first driving information and the second driving information.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, after successfully receiving the first driving information and the second driving information, the first driving information and the second driving information are compared and processed, and the fan driving type of the air conditioner is determined according to the comparison result.

[0103] Before determining the fan driving type of the air conditioner according to the first driving information and the second driving information, optionally, the air conditioner fan driving type determination method provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises: determining the first fan rotating speed and / or the first pulse width according to the first driving information; determining the second fan rotating speed and / or the second pulse width according to the second driving information; and determining that the first driving information and the second driving information are consistent in the case that the first fan rotating speed and the second fan rotating speed are consistent, and / or the first pulse width and the second pulse width are consistent.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, after successfully receiving the first driving information and the second driving information, the fan rotating speed and / or the pulse width in the first driving information and the second driving information are obtained.

[0105] For example, the first fan speed is determined according to the first driving information, the second fan speed is determined according to the second driving information, and if the first fan speed and the second fan speed are the same, it is determined that the first driving information and the second driving information are consistent.

[0106] For another example, the first pulse width is determined according to the first driving information, the second pulse width is determined according to the second driving information, and if the first pulse width and the second pulse width are the same, it is determined that the first driving information and the second driving information are consistent.

[0107] For another example, the first fan speed and the first pulse width are determined according to the first driving information, the second fan speed and the second pulse width are determined according to the second driving information, and if the first fan speed and the second fan speed are the same and the first pulse width and the second pulse width are the same, it is determined that the first driving information and the second driving information are consistent.

[0108] It should be noted that if the first fan speed and the second fan speed are the same and the first pulse width and the second pulse width are different, or if the first fan speed and the second fan speed are different and the first pulse width and the second pulse width are the same, it is also determined that the first driving information and the second driving information are consistent. Here, the first driving information and the second driving information can also be set to be inconsistent according to actual conditions.

[0109] Optionally, after receiving the first driving information and the second driving information from the air conditioner control panel, the air conditioner fan driving type determination method provided by the embodiment of the application further includes: in the case that the first driving information and the second driving information are inconsistent, determining that the fan driving circuit of the air conditioner is abnormal.

[0110] In the embodiment of the application, if the first fan speed and the second fan speed are different and the first pulse width and the second pulse width are different, it can be determined that the first driving information and the second driving information are inconsistent, and further determine that the fan driving circuit of the air conditioner is abnormal.

[0111] Optionally, the air conditioner fan driving type determination method provided by the embodiment of the application further includes: in the case that the first fan speed, the second fan speed and the target speed are consistent, determining that the fan driving type of the air conditioner is serial communication driving.

[0112] In the embodiment of the application, after receiving the second driving information, if the second driving information is serial communication data (second fan speed) without fan feedback, the driving information (first fan speed) corresponding to the serial communication driving circuit saved by the storage is obtained, and the first fan speed, the second fan speed and the target speed are compared, and if the speeds are consistent, it is determined that the fan driving type of the air conditioner is serial communication driving.

[0113] Optionally, if no wind speed is received from the driver chip within a preset time after the target rotation speed is sent, the serial communication driver circuit is determined to be faulty.

[0114] Optionally, the air conditioner fan drive type determination method provided in this application embodiment further includes: determining a first actual speed based on a first pulse width; determining a second actual speed based on a second pulse width; and determining the air conditioner fan drive type as pulse width modulation drive when the first actual speed, the second actual speed and the target speed are consistent.

[0115] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the second driving information, if the second driving information is that there is fan feedback (second pulse width) and no serial communication data, then the driving information (first pulse width) corresponding to the serial communication driving circuit stored in the memory is obtained, the first actual speed is determined according to the first pulse width, and the second actual speed is determined according to the second pulse width. The first actual speed, the second actual speed and the target speed are compared. If the speeds are consistent, then the fan driving type of the air conditioner is determined to be pulse width modulation driving.

[0116] Optionally, if no feedback level signal is received from the fan within a preset time after the target speed is sent, the pulse width modulation drive circuit is determined to be abnormal.

[0117] Optionally, the air conditioner fan drive type determination method provided in this application embodiment further includes: determining a first actual speed based on a first pulse width; determining a second actual speed based on a second pulse width; and determining the air conditioner fan drive type when the first fan speed, second fan speed, first actual speed, second actual speed and target speed are consistent, including serial communication drive and pulse width modulation drive.

[0118] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving the second driving information, if the second driving information is fan feedback (second pulse width) and serial communication data (second fan speed), then the driving information (first pulse width and first fan speed) corresponding to the serial communication driving circuit stored in the memory is obtained. The first actual speed is determined according to the first pulse width, and the second actual speed is determined according to the second pulse width. The first actual speed, the second actual speed, the first fan speed, the second fan speed and the target speed are compared. If the speeds are consistent, then the fan drive type of the air conditioner is determined to be pulse width modulation drive.

[0119] Optionally, if no level signal is received from the fan after the target speed is sent, the pulse width modulation drive circuit is determined to be abnormal. Similarly, if no wind speed is received from the drive chip within the preset time, the serial communication drive circuit is determined to be abnormal.

[0120] Through the embodiments of this application, a technical solution is adopted to receive first drive information and second drive information from the air conditioning control board. The first drive information is used to characterize the driving situation of the air conditioning fan at the target speed in a first time period, and the second drive information is used to characterize the driving situation of the air conditioning fan at the target speed in a second time period. When the first drive information and the second drive information are consistent, the technical solution of determining the fan drive type of the air conditioner based on the first drive information and the second drive information can confirm the drive circuit used by the air conditioner based on the feedback drive information, without having to frequently confirm the drive type and parameters of the air conditioning fan. This achieves the technical effect of avoiding frequent changes to the fan drive type and parameters, reducing the workload of developers, and reducing labor costs.
