[0046] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0049] In the related art, the air conditioner is located at the end user and is generally in a standby state or an operating state with the power plugged in. When the typhoon wind force level is high (i.e., the typhoon wind speed is high), causing the speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner to reverse against the wind to reach a certain level, the outdoor fan will fail to start, or the outdoor fan will be disturbed by the typhoon during operation and will shut down due to protection such as stalling or overcurrent. At this time, even if the air conditioner will stop the anti-headwind start-up and report an anti-headwind start-up failure fault or a protection fault, the outdoor fan will be allowed to reverse under the external wind interference of the typhoon in the shutdown state. Since the motor of the outdoor fan is in a reverse power generation state at this time, when the reverse speed reaches a certain level (for example, 2000rpm (revolutions / minute)), the current generated on the coil of the motor may exceed the demagnetization current of the motor, thereby causing damage to the motor or bringing other reliability problems and safety hazards.

[0050] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner typhoon prevention early warning method, which can realize the typhoon prevention early warning function based on the air conditioner, and then promptly prompt the user to perform relevant operations for typhoon prevention. For example, the user can unplug the power supply of the air conditioner, close the doors and windows, and eliminate the surrounding safety hazards based on the early warning information, thereby effectively preventing the air conditioner from being damaged by the typhoon or other safety hazards. The air conditioner is used to adjust the temperature, humidity, etc. of the environment. The air conditioner can be a single cooling air conditioner or a dual-purpose air conditioner for cooling and heating. The air conditioner can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, a window air conditioner, or a ceiling air conditioner. The air conditioner can be a single air conditioner or a multi-connected air conditioner unit, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this.

[0051] For example, the present application embodiment provides an air conditioner typhoon prevention early warning method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the early warning method includes:

[0052] Step 101, obtaining the current operating status of the air conditioner.

[0053] It is understandable that the types of operating states of the air conditioner may include: standby state, normal operating state and fault protection shutdown state. Among them, the standby state refers to the state in which the air conditioner is powered on and is waiting for the power-on command to start; the normal operating state refers to the operating state of the air conditioner after it is started based on the power-on command; the fault protection shutdown state refers to the fault protection that is started when the air conditioner fails to start or stalls due to typhoon interference during operation, overcurrent, etc., generates a fault protection flag and stops the operation of the air conditioner.

[0054] It can be understood that the control device of the air conditioner can determine the current operating state of the air conditioner based on the identification information indicating the operating state of the air conditioner.

[0055] Step 102: If it is determined that the air conditioner is in a standby state or a normal operating state, then based on the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner, warning information for typhoon warning is generated.

[0056] Here, if the control device of the air conditioner determines that the air conditioner is in standby mode or normal operating mode, it can adopt different strategies based on the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner to generate warning information for typhoon warning. In this way, typhoons can be predicted in time and users can be prompted, thereby enriching the functions of the air conditioner. It is also beneficial to prompt users to unplug the power of the air conditioner, close doors and windows, and perform other related protective operations based on the warning information, which can effectively prevent the air conditioner from being damaged by typhoon interference or other safety hazards.

[0057] Exemplarily, if it is determined that the air conditioner is in a standby state, generating warning information for typhoon warning based on the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner includes:

[0058] Obtaining the rotation speed of the outdoor fan in the standby state;

[0059] comparing the rotational speed with a first rotational speed threshold;

[0060] If the speed is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold, the first number is counted, where the first number indicates the number of times the speed is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold within a first set time period and the duration reaches a first duration threshold;

[0061] Based on the comparison result of the first number of times and the first number threshold, generating warning information for typhoon warning;

[0062] The first set duration is greater than the product of the first duration threshold and the first number threshold.

[0063] Here, the first speed threshold can be understood as the starting speed threshold for determining whether a typhoon exists. In order to reduce the probability of misjudgment, by counting the first number of times, the number of times the speed of the outdoor fan is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold within the first set time period and reaches the first time threshold can be used to improve the accuracy of the typhoon warning.

[0064] Here, both the first duration threshold and the first number threshold can be reasonably determined based on test data.

[0065] It should be noted that the first number of statistics can be based on the cumulative number of comparison results generated by a single continuous duration during which the speed of the outdoor fan is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold within the first set time period and the first time period threshold, or can be based on the cumulative number of comparison results generated by a multiple continuous duration during which the speed of the outdoor fan is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold within the first set time period and the first time period threshold. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0066] Exemplarily, the counting of the first number includes:

[0067] In response to the rotation speed being greater than or equal to the first rotation speed threshold, timing a duration during which the rotation speed is greater than or equal to the first rotation speed threshold, and in response to the newly acquired rotation speed being less than the first rotation speed threshold, terminating the timing;

[0068] Based on the timing results of one or more timings within the first set time period, a first number is generated and updated.

[0069] For instance, in one application example, the first set duration is 10 minutes, the first speed threshold is 800rpm, and the first duration threshold is 30 seconds. If the speed of the outdoor fan is continuously greater than or equal to 800rpm, the count can be increased by 1 every 30 seconds based on the timing duration; if the speed of the outdoor fan is intermittently greater than or equal to 800rpm, the count can be based on the comparison result of the continuous duration of each speed greater than or equal to 800rpm and 30 seconds to generate and update the first number.

[0070] Exemplarily, the generating of warning information for typhoon warning based on the comparison result of the first number of times and the first number threshold includes:

[0071] If the first number is greater than or equal to the first number threshold, generating warning information for typhoon warning;

[0072] If the first number is less than the first number threshold, the comparison speed and the first speed threshold are returned.

[0073] For example, assuming that the first number threshold is 10, if the control device determines that the first number within the first set time period is greater than or equal to 10, it can generate a typhoon warning message; otherwise, it can reset the count and return to the step of comparing the speed and the first speed threshold, and then re-judge the typhoon warning.

[0074] Here, the rotation speed of the outdoor fan can be detected based on a contact or non-contact sensor, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0075] Exemplarily, before comparing the rotational speed with the first rotational speed threshold, the method further includes:

[0076] comparing the rotational speed with a second rotational speed threshold;

[0077] If the rotation speed is greater than or equal to the second rotation speed threshold, performing the step of comparing the rotation speed with the first rotation speed threshold;

[0078] The second speed threshold is smaller than the first speed threshold, and the speed collection frequency of the stage of comparing the speed with the second speed threshold is smaller than the speed collection frequency of the stage of comparing the speed with the first speed threshold.

[0079] It should be noted that the control device of the air conditioner can first collect the speed of the outdoor fan according to the first collection frequency, and compare the obtained speed with the second speed threshold. If it is determined that the speed is greater than or equal to the second speed threshold, the speed of the outdoor fan is collected at the second collection frequency after the collection frequency is increased, and the obtained speed is compared with the first speed threshold. For example, the first collection frequency can be 0.2HZ, that is, once every 5 seconds, and the second collection frequency can be 1HZ, that is, once every 1 second.

[0080] It can be understood that the second speed threshold is smaller than the first speed threshold. If the speed of the outdoor fan is smaller than or equal to the second speed threshold, it indicates that the outdoor fan may be affected by the aisle wind flow or the airflow generated by the outdoor fans of other adjacent air conditioners. At this time, there is no need for a typhoon warning, that is, the speed is an interference situation that affects the typhoon warning. In this way, by reasonably setting the collection frequency of different speed ranges, the data processing capacity of the control device and the data interaction with the sensor can be effectively saved, thereby reducing resource consumption.

[0081] In some embodiments, before collecting the speed of the outdoor fan according to the first collection frequency, the control device can also first determine whether the outdoor fan is rotating. If so, the speed of the outdoor fan is collected based on the first collection frequency, and the speed is compared with the second speed threshold. In this way, the resource consumption of the air conditioner in standby mode can be further saved.

[0082] Exemplarily, if it is determined that the air conditioner is in a normal operating state, generating warning information for typhoon warning based on the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner includes:

[0083] Determining whether the outdoor fan is driven and operated normally;

[0084] If yes, obtain the rotation speed of the outdoor fan during operation;

[0085] generating a rotation speed fluctuation value within a second time threshold based on the acquired rotation speed;

[0086] If the speed fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the fluctuation threshold, a second number is counted, where the second number indicates the number of times the speed fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the fluctuation threshold within a second set time period;

[0087] Based on the comparison result of the second number and the second number threshold, generating warning information for typhoon warning;

[0088] The second set duration is greater than the product of the second duration threshold and the second number threshold.

[0089] It should be noted that the control device of the air conditioner can determine whether the outdoor fan has stalling, overcurrent and other faults caused by the aforementioned typhoon interference based on the working parameters of the motor of the outdoor fan. If so, the operation of the air conditioner is stopped and a fault protection mark is output, that is, the air conditioner is switched to a fault protection shutdown state and waits for manual processing. If the outdoor fan is in a normal driving state, the speed of the outdoor fan during operation can be obtained based on the set acquisition frequency. For example, the set acquisition frequency can be 10HZ, that is, once every 100 milliseconds.

[0090] Here, the speed fluctuation value can be understood as the difference between the maximum speed and the minimum speed of the outdoor fan within the second time threshold, and the fluctuation threshold can be understood as the starting fluctuation threshold for determining whether a typhoon exists. In order to reduce the probability of misjudgment, the second number can be counted, and then the accuracy of the typhoon warning can be improved based on the number of times the speed fluctuation value of the outdoor fan reaches the fluctuation threshold within the second set time.

[0091] Here, both the fluctuation threshold and the second number threshold can be reasonably determined based on test data.

[0092] It should be noted that the second number of statistics can be based on the cumulative number of times the outdoor fan speed continues to fluctuate within the second set time period, or can be based on the cumulative number of times the outdoor fan speed intermittently fluctuates within the first set time period. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0093] For instance, in one application example, the second set time is 20 seconds, the second time threshold is 1 second, and the fluctuation threshold is 150rpm. If the speed fluctuation value of the outdoor fan is continuously greater than or equal to 150rpm, the count can be increased by 1 every 1 second; if the speed fluctuation value of the outdoor fan is intermittently greater than or equal to 150rpm, each intermittent speed fluctuation value can be counted to generate and update the second number.

[0094] Exemplarily, the generating of warning information for typhoon warning based on the comparison result of the second number and the second number threshold includes:

[0095] If the second number is greater than or equal to the second number threshold, generating warning information for typhoon warning;

[0096] If the second number is less than the second number threshold, the process returns to the step of determining whether the outdoor fan is driven and operated normally.

[0097] For example, assuming that the second number threshold is 10, if the control device determines that the second number within the second set time period is greater than or equal to 10, it can generate a typhoon warning message; otherwise, it can reset the count and return to the step of determining whether the outdoor fan is driven and running normally, and then re-determine the typhoon warning.

[0098] The typhoon prevention early warning method for an air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application is illustrated below with reference to an application example.

[0099] In this application example, typhoon weather judgment logic can be added to the outdoor unit side of the air conditioner, that is, the outdoor unit controller executes the typhoon prevention early warning method, and adds a "whether there is typhoon weather" flag in the indoor and outdoor unit communication protocol between the main chips of the indoor and outdoor unit controllers; by detecting the speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner in strong typhoon weather, or the load change of the fan during operation, it is evaluated and determined whether there is a typhoon impact. If there is an impact, the outdoor unit controller sends the "typhoon weather" flag (i.e., early warning information) to the indoor unit controller through the communication line and communication protocol of the indoor and outdoor units, so as to display the code through the display function of the indoor unit, broadcast the voice function, or remotely connect to the APP function through Wi-Fi to notify or remind the user of the arrival of typhoon weather.

[0100] The communication line between the indoor and outdoor units may be one of the following: a neutral-live current loop, an RS485 communication line, or a PLC (Power Line Communication) communication line, which is not limited in this application example.

[0101] like Figure 2 As shown, the early warning method for air conditioner to prevent typhoon in this application example may include:

[0102] Step 201, determine whether the air conditioner is in standby mode, if so, execute step 202, if not, execute step 210.

[0103] Here, the outdoor unit controller may obtain the current operating state of the air conditioner. If it is determined to be in the standby state, step 202 is executed; otherwise, step 210 is executed.

[0104] Step 202, determine whether the outdoor fan is running, if so, execute step 203, if not, return to step 201.

[0105] Here, the outdoor unit controller can detect the induction parameters (for example, the induction current) on the motor winding of the outdoor fan to determine whether the outdoor fan is running under the external wind force. If so, execute step 203, if not, return to step 201.

[0106] Step 203, determine whether the outdoor fan speed is ≥ A, if so, execute step 204, if not, return to step 202.

[0107] Here, A is the aforementioned second speed threshold, and illustratively, A is 500 rpm.

[0108] At this time, the outdoor unit controller can collect the rotation speed of the outdoor fan based on the first collection frequency, and compare the obtained rotation speed with the second rotation speed threshold A. If the rotation speed ≥ A, execute step 204, otherwise, return to step 202.

[0109] Step 204, determine whether the outdoor fan speed is ≥ B, if so, execute step 205, if not, return to step 203.

[0110] Here, B is the aforementioned first speed threshold, and illustratively, the value of B is 800 rpm.

[0111] At this time, the outdoor unit controller can collect the speed of the outdoor fan based on the second collection frequency, and compare the obtained speed with the first speed threshold B. If the speed is ≥ B, step 205 is executed, otherwise, return to step 203. Here, the second collection frequency is greater than the first collection frequency, which is conducive to shortening the delay of typhoon warning.

[0112] Step 205, start timing in seconds.

[0113] Step 206 , determining whether the duration of the duration ≥ B is ≥ X1 , if so, executing step 207 , if not, returning to step 204 .

[0114] Here, X1 is the aforementioned first duration threshold. Exemplarily, the value of X1 is 30 seconds.

[0115] Step 207, count once, and start to count upward from 0.

[0116] Step 208 , determining whether the count times is ≥ Y1 , if so, executing step 209 , if not, returning to step 204 .

[0117] Here, Y1 is the aforementioned first times threshold, and illustratively, the value of Y1 is 10 times.

[0118] Step 209, determine whether there is a typhoon and issue a communication reminder.

[0119] Here, the outdoor unit controller determines that there is a typhoon, and sends an identification bit indicating "typhoon weather" to the outdoor unit controller. The outdoor unit controller can issue an early warning prompt through display, voice broadcast, sending notification information to the user's terminal device, etc.

[0120] Step 210 , determining whether the outdoor fan is driven and operated normally, if not, executing step 211 , and if so, executing step 213 .

[0121] Here, the outdoor unit controller may determine whether the outdoor fan is driven and operated normally based on the working parameters of the motor of the outdoor fan, and if not, execute step 211 , and if yes, execute step 213 .

[0122] Step 211, determine whether the outdoor fan is in a fault protection shutdown state, if so, execute step 212, if not, return to step 201.

[0123] It is understandable that if the aforementioned typhoon interference causes stall, overcurrent and other faults during the operation of the air conditioner, the control device of the air conditioner can switch to the fault protection shutdown state based on the protection mechanism. If the outdoor unit controller determines that the air conditioner is in the fault protection shutdown state, execute step 212, otherwise, return to step 201.

[0124] Step 212, waiting for a fault clear indication.

[0125] Step 213, obtaining the rotation speed of the outdoor fan during operation.

[0126] Here, the outdoor unit controller can collect the rotation speed of the outdoor fan during operation based on a set sampling frequency.

[0127] Step 214, determine whether the speed fluctuation of the outdoor fan within X2 seconds is ≥ C. If so, execute step 215; if not, return to step 210.

[0128] Here, X2 is the aforementioned second duration threshold, and illustratively, the value of X2 is 1 second.

[0129] Here, C is the aforementioned fluctuation threshold, and illustratively, the value of C is 150 rpm.

[0130] Step 215, count once, and start to count upward from 0.

[0131] Step 216, determine whether the count times is ≥ Y2, if so, execute the aforementioned step 209, if not, return to step 210.

[0132] Here, Y2 is the aforementioned second times threshold, and illustratively, the value of Y2 is 10 times.

[0133] It can be understood that in this application example, the outdoor unit controller of the air conditioner can generate typhoon warning information based on the rotation speed of the outdoor fan when the outdoor fan is in standby mode or normal operation, and send the warning information (for example, an identification bit indicating "typhoon weather") to the indoor unit controller. The indoor unit's display function can be used to display codes, voice function broadcasts, or Wi-Fi remote connection APP function can be used to notify or remind the user of the arrival of typhoon weather, thereby enriching the functions of the air conditioner and promptly prompting the user to perform relevant protective operations such as unplugging the power of the air conditioner, closing doors and windows, thereby effectively preventing the air conditioner from being damaged by typhoon interference or other safety hazards.

[0134] In order to implement the method of the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner typhoon protection early warning device, which corresponds to the above-mentioned air conditioner typhoon protection early warning method, and each step in the above-mentioned air conditioner typhoon protection early warning method embodiment is also fully applicable to the air conditioner typhoon protection early warning device embodiment of the present application.

[0135] like Figure 3 As shown, the typhoon warning device for air conditioners includes: an acquisition module 301 and an early warning module 302. The acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the current operating state of the air conditioner; the early warning module 302 is used to generate early warning information for typhoon early warning based on the rotation speed of the outdoor fan of the air conditioner if it is determined that the air conditioner is in a standby state or a normal operating state.

[0137] Obtaining the rotation speed of the outdoor fan in the standby state;

[0138] comparing the rotational speed with a first rotational speed threshold;

[0139] If the speed is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold, the first number is counted, where the first number indicates the number of times the speed is greater than or equal to the first speed threshold within a first set time period and the duration reaches a first duration threshold;

[0140] Based on the comparison result of the first number of times and the first number threshold, generating warning information for typhoon warning;

[0141] The first set duration is greater than the product of the first duration threshold and the first number threshold.

[0144] Based on the timing results of one or more timings within the first set time period, a first number is generated and updated.

[0145] In some embodiments, the generating of warning information for typhoon warning based on the comparison result of the first number of times and the first number threshold includes:

[0151] The second speed threshold is smaller than the first speed threshold, and the speed collection frequency of the stage of comparing the speed with the second speed threshold is smaller than the speed collection frequency of the stage of comparing the speed with the first speed threshold.

[0153] Determining whether the outdoor fan is driven and operated normally;

[0154] If yes, obtain the rotation speed of the outdoor fan during operation;

[0155] generating a rotation speed fluctuation value within a second time threshold based on the acquired rotation speed;

[0156] If the speed fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the fluctuation threshold, a second number is counted, where the second number indicates the number of times the speed fluctuation value is greater than or equal to the fluctuation threshold within a second set time period;

[0157] Based on the comparison result of the second number and the second number threshold, generating warning information for typhoon warning;

[0158] The second set duration is greater than the product of the second duration threshold and the second number threshold.

[0159] In some embodiments, the generating of warning information for typhoon warning based on the comparison result of the second number and the second number threshold includes:

[0160] If the second number is greater than or equal to the second number threshold, generating warning information for typhoon warning;

[0161] If the second number is less than the second number threshold, the process returns to the step of determining whether the outdoor fan is driven and operated normally.
