Figure 2is a structural schematic diagram of a heat dissipation device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. An outdoor unit of an air conditioner is provided with an electrical element 1 and a heat dissipation device 2. The heat dissipation device is used to controlledly absorb heat generated by the electrical element during operation. The heat dissipation device 2 includes an aluminum substrate 3, a throttle valve 4, and a refrigerant heat dissipation ring 5. The bottom surface of the aluminum substrate 3 is fixedly attached to the refrigerant heat dissipation ring 5, and the top surface of the aluminum substrate 3 is fixedly connected to the electrical element through a support 6. The aluminum substrate 3 is used to absorb heat generated by the electrical element during operation. One end of the throttle valve 4 is connected to the refrigerant heat dissipation ring 5, and the other end of the throttle valve 4 is connected to a heat exchanger 7 of the air conditioner. The refrigerant heat dissipation ring 5 is configured to dissipate heat from the aluminum substrate 3 when the throttle valve 4 is opened. The aluminum substrate 3, the support 6, the electrical element, and the refrigerant heat dissipation ring 5 are all arranged in a cabinet 8 in the air conditioner. Among them, a temperature monitoring device is also arranged in the cabinet, and the temperature monitoring device is used to monitor the working temperature of the electrical element. In this way, the top surface of the aluminum substrate is fixedly connected to the main control panel through the support, so as to be able to absorb heat generated by the main control panel during operation, and the bottom surface of the aluminum substrate is fixedly attached to the refrigerant heat dissipation ring, so that the aluminum substrate can conduct the heat absorbed from the main control panel to the refrigerant heat dissipation ring by heat conduction.

[0036] In some embodiments, the electrical element is a main control panel of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. The main control panel includes a main control panel working module and a main control panel console. The main control panel working module is a component that controls normal operation of the air conditioner and is also the main heat source of the main control panel. The main control panel console includes a console control module and a data processing module. The data processing module is electrically connected to the console control module, and the console control module is used to send control instructions to the throttle valve in the heat dissipation device.

The main control panel console controls the throttle valve in the heat dissipation device.

[0038] In combination with Figure 3 the present disclosure provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, the air conditioner being provided with a heat dissipation device and an electrical element, and the heat dissipation device being used to controlledly absorb heat generated by the electrical element during operation. The method includes:

[0039] In step S301, the air conditioner acquires a temperature monitoring value of the electrical component and an input current.

[0040] In step S302, the air conditioner determines a reference temperature threshold according to the temperature monitoring value and the input current.

[0041] In step S303, the air conditioner controls the heat dissipation device according to the reference temperature threshold.

[0042] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure acquires the temperature monitoring value of the electrical component and the input current, determines the reference temperature threshold according to the temperature monitoring value and the input current, and controls the heat dissipation device according to the reference temperature threshold. In this way, even if the air conditioner encounters different working conditions, the corresponding reference temperature threshold can be determined by simultaneously collecting the temperature monitoring value of the electrical component and the input current, and the heat dissipation device can be accurately controlled according to the reference temperature threshold. Therefore, the electrical component can be more accurately cooled, and the electrical component cooling effect of the air conditioner is improved.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electrical component is provided with a temperature monitoring device, and the air conditioner acquires the temperature monitoring value of the electrical component, including: the air conditioner monitors the working temperature of the electrical component by using the temperature detection device to obtain the temperature monitoring value.

[0044] In some embodiments, the air conditioner reads the input current from the electrical component.

[0045] Further, the air conditioner determines the reference temperature threshold according to the temperature monitoring value and the input current, including: the air conditioner acquires a candidate temperature value corresponding to the input current, and determines the reference temperature threshold according to the temperature monitoring value and the candidate temperature value.

[0046] Further, the air conditioner acquires the candidate temperature value corresponding to the input current, including: the air conditioner acquires temperature values respectively corresponding to the same input current under multiple preset working conditions, averages the temperature values to obtain an average temperature value, and determines the average temperature value as the candidate temperature value. In this way, the average temperature of the temperature values respectively corresponding to the input current under multiple preset working conditions is acquired. Since the influence of different working conditions on the reference temperature threshold of the air conditioner is considered, the candidate temperature value can be more accurately determined by averaging the temperature values under different working conditions. This facilitates more accurate control of the heat dissipation device and improves the cooling effect.

[0047] In some embodiments, the preset working conditions include maximum power heating, maximum power cooling, normal heating, normal cooling, minimum power heating, or minimum power cooling, etc. Wherein, when the compressor power of the air conditioner is in a first preset range during heating, it is normal heating. When the compressor power of the air conditioner is in a second preset range during cooling, it is normal cooling.

[0048] In some embodiments, in the case of an input current I1, the preset working condition corresponding to the maximum power heating is T1; the preset working condition corresponding to the maximum power cooling is T2; the preset working condition corresponding to normal heating is T3; the preset working condition corresponding to normal cooling is T4; the preset working condition corresponding to the minimum power heating is T5; and the preset working condition corresponding to the minimum power cooling is T6. Then, the average temperature value is obtained by calculating T = (T1 + T2 + T3 + T4 + T5 + T6) / 6. P T is the average temperature value.

[0049] Further, the air conditioner obtains the alternative temperature value corresponding to the input current, including: the air conditioner matches the alternative temperature value corresponding to the input current from the preset database. The preset database stores the corresponding relationship between the input current and the alternative temperature value. In this way, since the air conditioner may encounter various extreme operating environments during operation, it is easy to cause errors in the monitored temperature monitoring value of the electrical element. If the air conditioner is only controlled to dissipate heat according to the monitored temperature monitoring value of the electrical element, it is difficult to accurately dissipate heat from the electrical element, and it is easy to cause poor heat dissipation effect. By increasing the input current as an influencing factor, the temperature monitoring value and the alternative temperature value corresponding to the input current are considered when dissipating heat from the electrical element, which can improve the accuracy of the heat dissipation control of the air conditioner. At the same time, by directly storing the alternative temperature value corresponding to the input current in the database in advance, the control efficiency can be improved, thereby realizing more timely heat dissipation from the electrical element.

[0050] Further, the air conditioner determines the reference temperature threshold according to the temperature monitoring value and the alternative temperature value, including: the air conditioner compares the temperature monitoring value and the alternative temperature value to obtain a comparison result. In the case that the comparison result is that the alternative temperature value is less than or equal to the temperature monitoring value, the temperature monitoring value is determined as the reference temperature threshold. Or, in the case that the comparison result is that the alternative temperature value is greater than the temperature monitoring value, the alternative temperature value is determined as the reference temperature threshold. In this way, by determining the larger one of the alternative temperature value and the temperature monitoring value as the reference temperature threshold, it is possible to reduce the influence of the temperature monitoring value obtained by the air conditioner under extreme working conditions on the heat dissipation control as much as possible. Thus, the heat dissipation device is more accurately controlled to dissipate heat. So as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the electrical element of the air conditioner.

[0051] Further, the air conditioner controls the throttle valve according to the reference temperature threshold, including: the air conditioner controls the heat dissipation device to be closed in the case that the reference temperature threshold is less than a first preset temperature. In this way, in the case that the reference temperature threshold is less than the first preset temperature, it is considered that the electrical element does not need to dissipate heat through the heat dissipation device at this time. By closing the heat dissipation device, energy consumption can be saved.

[0052] Furthermore, the air conditioner controls the heat dissipation device based on a reference temperature threshold, including: when the reference temperature threshold is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature, the air conditioner controls the heat dissipation device to absorb the heat generated by the electrical components during operation. Thus, when the reference temperature threshold is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, it is considered that the operating temperature of the electrical components is too high and needs to be dissipated through the heat dissipation device. By activating the heat dissipation device, the operating temperature of the electrical components can be reduced in a timely manner, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the air conditioner's electrical components.

[0053] Furthermore, the heat dissipation device includes an aluminum substrate, a throttling valve, and a refrigerant cooling ring. The bottom surface of the aluminum substrate is fixedly attached to the refrigerant cooling ring, and the top surface of the aluminum substrate is fixedly connected to the electrical components via a bracket. The aluminum substrate is used to absorb the heat generated by the electrical components during operation. One end of the throttling valve is connected to the refrigerant cooling ring, and the other end of the throttling valve is connected to the heat exchanger of the air conditioner. The refrigerant cooling ring is configured to dissipate heat from the aluminum substrate when the throttling valve is open. The aluminum substrate, bracket, electrical components, and refrigerant cooling ring are all housed within the casing of the air conditioner. The air conditioner controls the heat dissipation device to absorb the heat generated by the electrical components during operation, including: the air conditioner acquiring a target valve opening corresponding to a reference temperature threshold and controlling the throttling valve to open according to the target valve opening.

[0054] Furthermore, the air conditioner obtains the target valve opening corresponding to the reference temperature threshold, including: the air conditioner matches the target valve opening corresponding to the reference temperature threshold from a preset database. The preset database stores the correspondence between reference temperature thresholds and target valve openings.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first preset temperature is T 10 The second preset temperature is T 20 A set temperature T is also included between the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature. 11 T 12 T 13 T 14 T 15 T 16 T 17 T 18 and T 19 The set temperatures are sorted in ascending order, forming an arithmetic sequence with a difference of 1°C. Each set temperature has a corresponding valve opening in a preset database. The first preset temperature T... 10 The first preset temperature is 40℃, and the second preset temperature is 50℃. Set temperature T 11 The set temperature is 41℃, and the set temperature T is... 12 The set temperature is 42℃, and the set temperature T is... 13 The set temperature is 43℃, and the set temperature T is... 14 The set temperature is 44℃, and the set temperature T is... 15 The set temperature is 45℃, T.16 46℃, set temperature T 17 47℃, set temperature T 18 48℃, set temperature T 19 49℃. In this way, the valve opening control of the throttle valve can be linearly increased, thereby achieving multi-point linear control of the throttle valve on the refrigerant flow, and further achieving linear control of the temperature of the refrigerant heat dissipation loop, and ultimately achieving linear control of the working temperature of the electrical component. The heat dissipation efficiency and stability of the electrical component are improved. At the same time, by dissipating heat from the electrical component in a timely manner, the working stability of the electrical component is also improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the reference temperature threshold is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature and less than the second preset temperature, the air conditioner obtains a target valve opening corresponding to the reference temperature threshold as the first preset valve opening. Then control the throttle valve to open according to the first preset valve opening. In some embodiments, the first preset temperature is 40℃.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the reference temperature threshold is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the air conditioner obtains a target valve opening corresponding to the reference temperature threshold as the second preset valve opening. Then control the throttle valve to open according to the second preset valve opening. The second preset valve opening is the maximum valve opening, and the second preset valve opening is greater than the first preset valve opening. The second preset temperature is 50℃. In this way, when the reference temperature threshold is greater than or equal to 50℃, the throttle valve is fully opened at this time, and the flow rate entering the refrigerant heat dissipation loop through the throttle valve reaches the maximum value, and the cooling capacity of the refrigerant heat dissipation loop reaches the maximum value.

[0058] In combination with Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling an air conditioner, the air conditioner being provided with a heat dissipation device and an electrical component, the heat dissipation device being used to absorb heat generated by the electrical component when operating.

In this way, since the influence of different working conditions on the reference temperature threshold of the air conditioner is considered, the candidate temperature value can be determined more accurately by averaging each temperature value under different working conditions. Even if the air conditioner encounters different working conditions, the corresponding reference temperature threshold can be determined by simultaneously collecting the temperature monitoring value and the input current of the electrical element. The heat dissipation device can be controlled more accurately, so that the electrical element can be cooled more accurately, and thus the electrical element cooling effect of the air conditioner is improved.

[0068] In step S503, the air conditioner determines the larger one of the temperature monitoring value and the candidate temperature value as a reference temperature threshold.

[0069] In step S504, the air conditioner controls the heat dissipation device to absorb heat generated by the electrical element during operation when the reference temperature threshold is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature.

[0070] The method for controlling the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the following steps: obtaining a temperature monitoring value and an input current of an electrical element; determining a reference temperature threshold according to the temperature monitoring value and the input current; and controlling a heat dissipation device according to the reference temperature threshold.
