[0002] With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, people have higher and higher requirements for home appliances. In order to improve the comfort of air-conditioning products under low-temperature heating conditions, some air-conditioning products use hot gas defrosting.

[0003] Compared with conventional defrosting, the refrigerant flow direction of hot gas defrosting does not change during defrosting. The high-temperature refrigerant first enters the indoor unit (the indoor fan stops to reduce heat dissipation) and then enters the outdoor unit for defrosting. Therefore, the temperature of the indoor unit heat exchanger is higher and does not absorb heat from the room, so the heating comfort is better. However, since the high-temperature refrigerant enters the indoor unit first, there will still be a certain amount of heat loss, which will lead to less defrosting heat, especially when the system lacks fluorine, the refrigerant circulation volume is insufficient, and the heat carried is limited, which seriously affects the reliability of hot gas defrosting. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present disclosure aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to some extent.

[0014] The second determination module is used to determine the defrost mode according to the relationship between the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening and a first threshold.

[0015] The third aspect embodiment of the present disclosure proposes an electronic device, comprising: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program, the method for determining the defrost mode proposed in the first aspect embodiment of the present disclosure is implemented.

[0025] Figure 5 A block diagram of an exemplary electronic device suitable for implementing embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0027] The following describes a method, device, electronic device, and storage medium for determining a defrost mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for determining a defrost mode provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0029] The embodiment of the present disclosure takes the method for determining the defrost mode as an example in which the method is configured in a device for determining the defrost mode. The device for determining the defrost mode can be applied to any electronic device so that the electronic device can perform the function of determining the defrost mode.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the defrost mode may include the following steps:

[0031] Step 101, obtaining the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0032] Optionally, the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature may be obtained when the air conditioner meets the defrosting condition.

[0033] Optionally, when the pipe temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner meets the defrosting condition. That is, when the pipe temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is less than the preset threshold, frost or ice will form on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger, and defrosting is required.

[0034] Alternatively, the outdoor ambient temperature and the pipe temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger may be acquired first, and then the indoor ambient temperature may be acquired when the difference between the pipe temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than a second threshold.

[0035] That is, it is possible to determine whether the air conditioner meets the defrosting condition according to the outdoor ambient temperature and the pipe temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger. If the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the pipe temperature is greater than the fifth threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner meets the defrosting condition, and then the indoor ambient temperature is obtained.

[0036] The fifth threshold value may be 5 degrees Celsius (°C), 6°C, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0037] Step 102, when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset conditions, obtain the current operating frequency of the air conditioner and the measured opening of the expansion valve.

[0038] After obtaining the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, it can be further determined whether the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet a preset condition, wherein the preset condition can be a temperature condition corresponding to hot gas defrosting.

[0039] Optionally, when the outdoor ambient temperature is less than a second threshold and the indoor ambient temperature is greater than a third threshold, it is determined that the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet a preset condition.

[0040] Alternatively, when the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second threshold, and the indoor ambient temperature is greater than a fourth threshold, it is determined that the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset condition.

[0041] Among them, the third threshold is greater than the fourth threshold; the fourth threshold is greater than the second threshold.

[0042] The second threshold may be -5°C, -6°C, etc. The third threshold may be 15°C, 20°C, etc. The fourth threshold may be 10°C, 12°C, etc. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the values ​​of the first threshold, the second threshold and the third threshold.

[0043] The current operating frequency of the air conditioner is the operating frequency before entering the defrosting mode. The measured opening of the expansion valve is the opening measured when the air conditioner is in operation before entering the defrosting mode.

[0044] Step 103, determining a reference opening of the expansion valve according to the operating frequency and the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0045] The reference opening may be a theoretical optimal opening of the expansion valve corresponding to the current operating frequency and outdoor ambient temperature.

[0046] Optionally, the reference opening degree of the expansion valve may be determined according to a mapping relationship between the operating frequency and the outdoor ambient temperature and the reference opening degree.

[0047] That is, the optimal opening of the expansion valve under the same outdoor ambient temperature and different operating frequencies can be determined in a laboratory environment, and then the optimal opening of the expansion valve under the same operating frequency and different outdoor ambient temperatures can be determined, and then the optimal opening mapping table can be obtained. When the air conditioner is running, the optimal opening mapping table can be queried according to the real-time operating frequency and outdoor ambient temperature to obtain the reference opening of the expansion valve under the current operating conditions.

[0048] Step 104 : determining a defrost mode according to a relationship between a difference between the measured opening and the reference opening and a first threshold value.

[0049] It should be noted that in terms of air conditioning control, a theoretical optimal opening (i.e. reference opening) will be set corresponding to the outdoor ambient temperature and operating frequency. After the operation enters the closed-loop stage, the opening will be adjusted in real time according to the deviation between the exhaust and the target exhaust. When the system refrigerant is too little, the exhaust temperature is prone to overshoot and be too high. The air conditioning system will actively increase the opening and increase the system circulation flow, so that the exhaust is reduced and eventually approaches or reaches the target exhaust.

[0050] Therefore, the degree of fluorine deficiency can be judged by comparing the difference between the measured opening at the time of entering the defrost and the reference opening corresponding to the time of entering the defrost. Different degrees of fluorine deficiency have different effects on hot gas defrosting. The greater the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening, the more serious the fluorine deficiency. The more serious the fluorine deficiency, the more likely it is that the defrosting will not be clean when using the hot gas defrost mode.

[0051] Optionally, when the difference is smaller than a first threshold, the defrost mode is determined to be hot gas defrost.

[0052] When the difference is less than the first threshold, it means that the air conditioner is slightly short of fluorine or not short of fluorine, and the impact on hot air defrosting is small, and hot air defrosting can be used to defrost cleanly. Therefore, the defrost mode is determined to be hot air defrosting, so as to ensure the use comfort under low temperature heating conditions.

[0053] The first threshold may be 100p, 90p, etc. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0054] Alternatively, when the difference is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the defrost mode is determined to be the reverse cycle defrost.

[0055] When the difference is greater than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the air conditioner is seriously defrosted, which has a greater impact on hot air defrosting. Hot air defrosting is not clean, affecting the user experience. Therefore, the defrosting mode is determined to be reverse cycle defrosting to avoid unclean defrosting.

[0056] In the disclosed embodiment, the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature can be obtained first, and then when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset conditions, the current operating frequency of the air conditioner and the measured opening of the expansion valve are obtained, and then the reference opening of the expansion valve is determined according to the operating frequency and the outdoor ambient temperature, and finally the defrost mode is determined according to the relationship between the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening and the first threshold value. Therefore, when the air conditioner needs to be defrosted, the degree of fluorine deficiency can be determined according to the difference between the reference opening and the measured opening of the expansion valve, and then the defrost mode of the air conditioner can be determined according to the degree of fluorine deficiency, so that the air conditioner can select a suitable defrost mode for defrosting, thereby improving the reliability of defrosting.

[0057] Figure 2 A flow chart of a method for determining a defrost mode provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the method for determining the defrost mode may include the following steps:

[0058] Step 201, obtaining the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0059] Step 202, when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset conditions, obtain the current operating frequency of the air conditioner and the measured opening of the expansion valve.

[0060] The specific implementation forms of step 201 and step 202 can refer to the detailed descriptions in other disclosed embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Optionally, when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature do not meet preset conditions, the defrost mode is determined to be reverse cycle defrost.

[0062] It is understandable that when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature do not meet the preset conditions, it means that the current operating environment of the air conditioner is not suitable for hot gas defrosting, so the defrost mode is determined to be reverse cycle defrosting.

[0063] Step 203, obtaining the lower limit and upper limit of the operating frequency of the air conditioner, the first opening of the expansion valve when the air conditioner operates at the lower limit of the operating frequency, and the second opening of the expansion valve when the air conditioner operates at the upper limit of the operating frequency.

[0064] The lower limit of the operating frequency may be the rated minimum operating frequency of the air conditioner, and the upper limit of the operating frequency may be the rated maximum operating frequency of the air conditioner.

[0065] The first opening degree may be an optimal opening degree of the expansion valve in order to ensure the performance of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is operating at the lower limit of the operating frequency.

[0066] The first opening degree may be an optimal opening degree of the expansion valve when the air conditioner is operated at an upper limit of the operating frequency in order to ensure the performance of the air conditioner.

[0067] Step 204, determining a correction coefficient according to the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0068] Optionally, the outdoor ambient temperature is positively correlated with the correction coefficient, that is, the higher the outdoor ambient temperature, the greater the correction coefficient.

[0069] Step 205, determining a reference opening according to the lower limit of the operating frequency, the upper limit of the operating frequency, the first opening, the second opening, the correction coefficient and the current operating frequency.

[0070] Among them, the formula for determining the reference opening can be shown as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, P 0 is the reference opening, F 0 is the current operating frequency, F 1 is the lower limit of the operating frequency, F 2 is the upper limit of the operating frequency, P 1 is the first opening, P 2 is the second opening, k is the correction coefficient, and the value of k can be [0,100].

[0073] Step 206 , determining the defrost mode according to the relationship between the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening and the first threshold.

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature can be obtained first, and then when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset conditions, the current operating frequency of the air conditioner and the measured opening of the expansion valve are obtained, and the lower limit and upper limit of the operating frequency of the air conditioner are obtained. When the air conditioner operates at the lower limit of the operating frequency, the first opening of the expansion valve, when the air conditioner operates at the upper limit of the operating frequency, the second opening of the expansion valve, and the correction coefficient is determined according to the outdoor ambient temperature, and then the reference opening is determined according to the lower limit of the operating frequency, the upper limit of the operating frequency, the first opening, the second opening, the correction coefficient and the current operating frequency, and finally the defrost mode is determined according to the relationship between the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening and the first threshold value. In this way, the reference opening of the expansion valve under the current operating frequency and the outdoor ambient temperature can be accurately determined, and then the degree of fluorine deficiency can be accurately determined based on the reference opening of the expansion valve, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined defrost mode.

[0075] Figure 3 A flow chart of a method for determining a defrost mode provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 3As shown, the method for determining the defrost mode may include the following steps:

[0076] Step 301, obtaining the outdoor ambient temperature and the pipe temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0077] Step 302: When the difference between the outdoor ambient temperature and the pipeline temperature is greater than a second threshold, the indoor ambient temperature is obtained.

[0078] Step 303, determine whether the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset conditions; if the preset conditions are met, execute step 304; if not, execute step 308.

[0079] Step 304, obtaining the current operating frequency of the air conditioner and the measured opening of the expansion valve.

[0080] Step 305: Determine a reference opening of the expansion valve according to the operating frequency and the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0081] Step 306, determine whether the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening is less than a first threshold; if the difference is less than the first threshold, execute step 307; if the difference is not less than the first threshold, execute step 308.

[0082] Step 307, determining that the defrost mode is hot gas defrost.

[0083] Step 308, determining that the defrost mode is reverse cycle defrost.

[0084] In order to implement the above embodiment, the present disclosure also proposes a device for determining a defrost mode.

[0087] The first acquisition module 401 is used to acquire the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature;

[0088] The second acquisition module 402 is used to acquire the current operating frequency of the air conditioner and the measured opening degree of the expansion valve when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset conditions;

[0089] A first determination module 403 is used to determine a reference opening of the expansion valve according to the operating frequency and the outdoor ambient temperature;

[0090] The second determination module 404 is configured to determine the defrost mode according to the relationship between the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening and the first threshold.

[0091] Optionally, the second determining module 404 is configured to:

[0092] When the difference is less than the first threshold, the defrosting mode is determined to be hot gas defrosting; or,

[0096] Determine the correction factor according to the outdoor ambient temperature;

[0097] The reference opening is determined according to the lower limit of the operating frequency, the upper limit of the operating frequency, the first opening, the second opening, the correction coefficient and the current operating frequency.

[0098] Optionally, the method further includes a third determining module, configured to:

[0100] When the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the second threshold, and the indoor ambient temperature is greater than the fourth threshold, determining that the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet a preset condition;

[0101] Among them, the third threshold is greater than the fourth threshold; the fourth threshold is greater than the second threshold.

[0102] Optionally, the method further includes a fourth determining module, configured to:

[0105] Obtain the outdoor ambient temperature and the pipe temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger;

[0106] When the difference between the pipeline temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature is greater than a fifth threshold, the indoor ambient temperature is acquired.

[0107] The functions and specific implementation principles of the above modules in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be referred to the above method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0108] The device for determining the defrost mode of the disclosed embodiment can first obtain the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature, and then obtain the current operating frequency of the air conditioner and the measured opening of the expansion valve when the indoor ambient temperature and the outdoor ambient temperature meet the preset conditions, and then determine the reference opening of the expansion valve according to the operating frequency and the outdoor ambient temperature, and finally determine the defrost mode according to the relationship between the difference between the measured opening and the reference opening and the first threshold. Therefore, when the air conditioner needs to be defrosted, the degree of fluorine deficiency can be determined according to the difference between the reference opening and the measured opening of the expansion valve, and then the defrost mode of the air conditioner can be determined according to the degree of fluorine deficiency, so that the air conditioner can select a suitable defrost mode for defrosting, thereby improving the reliability of defrosting.
