[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides an air conditioning control method for controlling an air conditioner, the air conditioner comprising a body 400 and a heat exchanger 500, a fan 410, and a plurality of condensed water collecting devices arranged in the body 400, the fan 410 being arranged at the bottom of the heat exchanger 500, and condensed water collecting devices being arranged on both sides of the heat exchanger 500, respectively, the condensed water collecting devices comprising a water collecting box 700, and the water collecting box 700 being movable along the width direction of the heat exchanger to pass through at least a part of the area below the heat exchanger, the air conditioning control method comprising:

[0039] S100, determining whether the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than a first width.

[0040] Among them, whether condensation water is generated on the heat exchanger 500 can be identified by an imaging device and a recognition algorithm, and by taking a picture of the heat exchanger 500 in real time, a preset algorithm can be used to identify whether condensation water is generated on the heat exchanger 500, the location of the condensation water, and the size of the condensation water droplets for confirmation.

[0041] S200 , after determining that the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width, start the condensed water collecting device located on any side of the heat exchanger 500 to collect the condensed water on the heat exchanger 500 .

[0042] Among them, the heat exchanger 500 is generally arranged along the height direction of the body 400. Therefore, when the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than a certain width, it means that the water droplets are about to leave the heat exchanger 500. Therefore, it is necessary to start the condensed water collection device to collect the water droplets.

[0043] In some embodiments, determining whether the width of the condensed water droplets is greater than the first width includes: continuously photographing the surface of the heat exchanger 500, identifying the photograph taken each time, determining the position and width of the condensed water droplets, and comparing the width of the condensed water droplets with the first width, and when it is determined that the width of the condensed water droplets is greater than the first width, starting the condensed water collection device to collect the condensed water on the heat exchanger 500.

[0044] In other embodiments, determining whether the width of the condensed water droplets is greater than the first width includes: providing water receiving trays at multiple positions along the height direction of the heat exchanger 500, respectively, and providing a water immersion switch 511 in the water receiving tray, and when the water immersion switch 511 in the water receiving tray is triggered, it can be determined that condensed water has been generated on the heat exchanger 500; after determining that condensed water has been generated on the heat exchanger 500, determining the position of the condensed water by a radar device, and determining the width of the condensed water droplets by a width measuring instrument, and starting the condensed water collection device after the width of the condensed water droplets is greater than the first width.

[0045] The specific collection method of the condensed water collection device is to move the water collection box 700 to the bottom of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 to receive the condensed water.

[0046] In some embodiments, S200, starting a condensed water collection device located on either side of the heat exchanger 500 to collect condensed water on the heat exchanger 500 includes:

[0047] S210, after determining the condensation position of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500, control the water collecting box 700 of the condensed water collecting device adjacent to the condensation position to move to a water receiving position corresponding to the condensation position.

[0048] The condensation position of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 may be determined by image recognition or radar when determining whether condensed water is generated.

[0049] Among them, the water collection position is generally located directly below the condensation position.

[0050] The water collecting box 700 is controlled to move to the position just below the condensation position so as to receive the condensed water when the condensed water droplets leave the heat exchanger 500 .

[0051] S220: After the water collecting box 700 moves to the condensation position, it is determined whether the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 meets the first condition.

[0052] Among them, the liquid level parameters of the water collecting box include liquid level height and liquid level rising rate, which can reflect whether the receiving capacity of the water collecting box 700 is close to the receiving limit. That is, when the liquid level parameter reaches the first condition, it can be determined that the condensate receiving capacity of the water collecting box 700 is close to the receiving limit.

[0053] S230, after determining that the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 reaches the first condition, control the water collecting box 700 to move to the drainage position, and control the water collecting box 700 of the condensate collecting device on the other side to move to the water receiving position.

[0054] Among them, after determining that the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 reaches the first condition, it is determined that the receiving capacity of the water collecting box 700 is close to its own receiving limit, so it is necessary to alternately use the condensate collection devices on both sides of the heat exchanger to ensure that the condensate does not drip onto the fan.

[0055] For example, a first condensate collecting device is provided on one side of the heat exchanger, and a second condensate collecting device is provided on the other side. The first condensate collecting device has a first water collecting box 701, and the second condensate collecting device has a second water collecting box 702. After the liquid level parameter of the first water collecting box 701 reaches the first condition, the first water collecting box 701 is controlled to move to the drainage position, and the second water collecting box 702 is controlled to move to the water receiving position.

[0056] In some embodiments, multiple condensate collection devices are arranged in pairs along the width direction of the heat exchanger 500 to form condensate collection groups, and there are multiple condensate collection groups along the height direction of the heat exchanger 500. Each condensate collection device includes a driving member and a water collecting box 700, and the driving member is used to drive the water collecting box 700 to move along the width direction of the heat exchanger.

[0057] That is, multiple condensate collection groups are arranged along the height direction of the heat exchanger. Condensate at different height positions on different heat exchangers can be collected by the condensate collection group closest to its height position to improve the convenience and speed of collection.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, S210, after determining the condensation position of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500, controlling the water collecting box 700 of the condensed water collecting device adjacent to the condensation position to move to a water receiving position corresponding to the condensation position, includes:

[0059] Determine the height of the condensation point where the condensation water droplets form.

[0060] The height of the height position of the condensed water droplets is the height of the position of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 .

[0061] According to the height of the condensation position of the condensed water droplets, the condensed water collection group at the corresponding height is controlled to collect the condensed water at the condensation position.

[0062] Among them, the condensation water collection group at a height corresponding to the height of the condensation position is generally the condensation water collection group below and closest to the condensation position.

[0063] In some embodiments, S220, after the water collecting box 700 moves to the water receiving position, determining whether the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 reaches the first condition includes:

[0064] S121, determining whether the liquid level rising rate in the water collecting box 700 is greater than or equal to a preset rate.

[0065] The liquid level in the water collecting box 700 is periodically obtained at preset time intervals, and the liquid level rising rate in the water collecting box 700 is calculated. For example, if the liquid level rising height of the water collecting box 700 in the first time period t is h, the liquid level rising rate v=h / t.

[0066] If the liquid level rising rate in the water collecting box 700 is greater than or equal to the preset rate, when the liquid level in the water collecting box 700 is higher than the first liquid level, it is determined that the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 meets the first condition.

[0067] Among them, the first liquid level is lower than the second liquid level. When it is determined that the liquid level rising rate in the water collecting box 700 is greater than or equal to the preset rate, it means that the liquid level in the current water collecting box 700 is rising faster. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the water collecting box at a lower liquid level, that is, when the liquid level is higher than the first liquid level, it is determined that the water collecting box 700 meets the first condition, and the first liquid level is lower than the second liquid level.

[0068] If the liquid level rising rate in the water collecting box 700 is less than the preset rate, when the liquid level in the water collecting box 700 is higher than the second liquid level, it is determined that the liquid level parameter of the water collecting box 700 meets the first condition.

[0069] The second liquid level is higher than the first liquid level.

[0070] Among them, when it is determined that the rise of the liquid level in the water collecting box 700 is less than the preset rate, it means that the current liquid level in the water collecting box 700 is rising slowly. Therefore, the water collecting box can be replaced when the liquid level is higher, that is, when the liquid level is higher than the second liquid level, it is determined that the water collecting box 700 meets the first condition and the first liquid level is lower than the second liquid level.

[0071] The first liquid level is two-thirds of the total height of the water collecting box 700 , and the second liquid level is three-quarters of the total height of the water collecting box 700 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the present invention further provides a refrigerant leakage monitoring device 10, comprising an acquisition module 100, a judgment module 200 and a control module. The acquisition module 100 is used to acquire the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500. The judgment module 200 is used to determine whether the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than a first width. The control module 300 is used to start a condensed water collection device located on either side of the heat exchanger 500 to collect the condensed water on the heat exchanger 500 after determining that the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width.

[0073] In some embodiments, the present invention further provides an air conditioner, which may include components such as a processor 601 with one or more processing cores, a memory 602 with one or more computer-readable storage media, a power supply 603, and an input unit 604. The air conditioner also includes a body 400 and a heat exchanger 500, a fan 410, a plurality of condensate collection devices, a memory, and a processor arranged in the body 400. Condensate collection devices are respectively arranged on both sides of the heat exchanger 500. The condensate collection device has a water collection box 700. The water collection box 700 can be moved along the width direction of the heat exchanger 500 to pass through at least a part of the area below the heat exchanger 500. Those skilled in the art will understand that the structure of the above-mentioned air conditioner does not constitute a limitation on the air conditioner, and may include more or fewer components, or a combination of certain components, or different component arrangements. Among them:

[0074] The processor 601 is the controller of the air conditioner, and uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire air conditioner. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 602, and calling data stored in the memory 602, the processor 601 performs various functions of the air conditioner and processes data, thereby monitoring the air conditioner as a whole. Optionally, the processor 601 may include one or more processing cores; preferably, the processor 601 may integrate an application processor 601 and a modem processor 601, wherein the application processor 601 mainly processes the operating system, user interface and computer programs, etc., and the modem processor 601 mainly processes wireless communications. It is understandable that the above-mentioned modem processor 601 may not be integrated into the processor 601.

[0075] The memory 602 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 601 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory. The memory may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area may store an operating system, a computer program required for at least one function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created according to the use of the server, etc. In addition, the memory may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices. Accordingly, the memory may also include a memory controller to provide the processor 601 with access to the memory.

[0076] The air conditioner also includes a power supply 603 for supplying power to each component. Preferably, the power supply 603 can be logically connected to the processor 601 through a power management system, so as to manage charging, discharging, and power consumption through the power management system. The power supply can also include any components such as one or more DC or AC power supplies, recharging systems, power failure detection circuits, power converters or inverters, and power status indicators.

[0077] The air conditioner may further include an input unit 604, which may be used to receive input digital or character information and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal input related to user settings and function control.

[0078] Although not shown, the air conditioner may further include a display unit, etc., which will not be described in detail herein. Specifically, in this embodiment, the processor 601 in the air conditioner will load the executable files corresponding to the processes of one or more computer programs into the memory 602 according to the following instructions, and the processor 601 will run the computer programs stored in the memory 602 to perform the following steps:

[0079] It is determined whether the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width.

[0080] After determining that the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width, the condensed water collecting device located on any side of the heat exchanger 500 is started to collect the condensed water on the heat exchanger 500 .

[0081] By executing the above-mentioned air conditioning control method, after determining that condensed water is generated on the heat exchanger 500 of the air conditioner and reaches a certain size, the condensed water collecting device is used to collect the condensed water to prevent the condensed water from falling on the fan 410, thereby preventing the condensed water from splashing, preventing the line short circuit and preventing the fan 410 from freezing.

[0082] A person skilled in the art will appreciate that all or part of the steps in any of the methods in the above embodiments may be completed by a computer program, or by controlling related hardware through a computer program. The computer program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium and loaded and executed by the processor 601.

[0083] In some embodiments, multiple condensate collection devices are arranged in pairs along the width direction of the heat exchanger 500 to form condensate collection groups, and there are multiple condensate collection groups along the height direction of the heat exchanger 500. Each condensate collection device includes a driving member and a water collecting box 700, and the driving member is used to drive the water collecting box 700 to move along the width direction of the heat exchanger.

[0084] That is, multiple condensate collection groups are arranged along the height direction of the heat exchanger. Condensate at different height positions on different heat exchangers can be collected by the condensate collection group closest to its height position to improve the convenience and speed of collection.

[0085] Based on the above embodiment, in S210 of the air conditioning control method, after determining the condensation position of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500, controlling the water collecting box 700 of the condensed water collecting device adjacent to the condensation position to move to the water receiving position corresponding to the condensation position includes:

[0086] Determine the height of the condensation point where the condensation water droplets form.

[0087] The height of the height position of the condensed water droplets is the height of the position of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 .

[0088] According to the height of the condensation position of the condensed water droplets, the condensed water collection group at the corresponding height is controlled to collect the condensed water at the condensation position.

[0089] Among them, the condensation water collection group at a height corresponding to the height of the condensation position is generally the condensation water collection group below and closest to the condensation position.

[0090] In some embodiments, the condensate collection group includes a first condensate collection device and a second condensate collection device, which are generally arranged on the same horizontal plane. The first condensate collection device and the second condensate collection device are arranged on the same horizontal plane at the same time, which can ensure that when one collection device is draining water, the other collection device can take its place and continue to collect condensate at the condensation position.

[0091] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a first telescopic rod 710 and a second telescopic rod 720. The first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 are connected in parallel to both sides of the water collecting box 700. The first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 are used to drive the water collecting box 700 to move between the water receiving position and the drainage position.

[0092] It is understandable that the first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 are respectively connected to the two sides of the water collecting box 700, which can ensure that the middle of the first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 is a hollow structure without any obstructions, and will not affect the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 500.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first telescopic rod 710 and the second telescopic rod 720 cooperate to enable the water collecting box 700 to move a distance greater than or equal to the width of the heat exchanger, so as to ensure that the water collecting box 700 can collect condensed water at any width position of the heat exchanger 500 .

[0094] In some embodiments, the bottom of the water collecting box 700 is provided with a drain port that can be opened and closed, and water collecting base plates are provided on both sides of the body 400. When the water collecting boxes 700 of the relatively arranged condensate collection devices are moved to their respective drainage positions, the water collecting boxes 700 and their respective corresponding water collecting base plates overlap in the height direction of the body 400.

[0095] For example, the condensate collection group includes a first condensate collection device and a second condensate collection device, the first condensate collection device includes a first water collecting box 701, the second condensate collection device includes a second water collecting box 702, and the first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 are both on both sides of the heat exchanger 500 when they are in the drainage position, that is, water collecting pans are arranged on both sides of the heat exchanger 500, when the first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 are in the drainage position, the first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 open the drainage port, and the condensate in the first water collecting box 701 and the second water collecting box 702 falls into the water collecting pan and is then discharged from the water collecting pan.

[0096] In some embodiments, the air conditioner includes a first water receiving tray 510 and a second water receiving tray 520. The first water receiving tray 510 is arranged in the middle of the heat exchanger 500, and the second water receiving tray 520 is arranged at the bottom of the heat exchanger 500. The first water receiving tray 510 and the second water receiving tray 520 are both provided with a water immersion switch 511. The water immersion switch 511 is used to detect whether there is liquid in the first water receiving tray 510 and the second water receiving tray 520.

[0097] Among them, the first water receiving pan 510 and the second water receiving pan 520 are respectively arranged at different positions, and are both used to receive condensed water from different areas of the heat exchanger 500. After the condensed water flows into the first water receiving pan 510 and the second water receiving pan 520, the water immersion switch 511 detects that there is condensed water in the first water receiving pan 510 / the second water receiving pan 520, so that it can be determined that condensed water is generated on the heat exchanger 500.

[0099] It is determined whether the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width.

[0100] After determining that the width of the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 500 is greater than the first width, the condensed water collecting device located on any side of the heat exchanger 500 is started to collect the condensed water on the heat exchanger 500 .

[0101] By executing the above steps, after determining that condensed water is generated on the heat exchanger 500 of the air conditioner and reaches a certain size, the condensed water collecting device is used to collect the condensed water to prevent the condensed water from falling on the fan 410, thereby preventing the condensed water from splashing, preventing a short circuit in the line and freezing of the fan 410.
