[0056] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent, comprehensible and easier to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0057] Referring to Figure 1 , a step flow chart of a control method of an air conditioning unit provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, which can specifically include the following steps:

[0058] Step 101, obtaining a set temperature value of an air conditioner and an initial running frequency of a compressor;

[0059] The set temperature value refers to an expected indoor temperature set by a user through an air conditioner control panel or a remote controller. The air conditioner system will adjust the refrigeration or heating capacity according to the set value, so as to make the indoor temperature as close as possible to the set temperature value.

[0060] The initial running frequency refers to an initial reference value required for dynamic adjustment of the running frequency of the compressor.

[0061] Step 102, detecting an indoor temperature value and an outdoor temperature value;

[0062] The indoor temperature value is a temperature detection value of an indoor environment acted on by the air conditioner; the outdoor temperature value refers to a temperature detection value of an outdoor environment relative to the indoor environment. Exemplarily, the compressor of the air conditioning unit is placed outdoors, so that the outdoor temperature value can be collected through the temperature sensor of the compressor. During the running process of the air conditioning unit, the indoor temperature value and the outdoor temperature value can be continuously detected.

[0063] In some examples, the partial structure of the air conditioning unit is as shown in Figure 2 including a compressor 1, a condenser 2, an electronic expansion valve 3, an evaporator 4, a vapor-liquid separator 5, and a controller 6.

[0064] An indoor temperature sensor is installed on the return air side of the evaporator 4 to detect the indoor temperature value (T in ). A temperature sensor is installed on the return air side of the condenser 2 to detect the outdoor temperature value (T out ). In addition, suction temperature sensor, discharge temperature sensor, suction pressure sensor, etc. are installed on the unit, and suction temperature T 吸气 , discharge temperature T 排气 , suction pressure P 吸气 , etc. can also be detected.

[0065] Step 103, determining a target operating frequency according to the initial operating frequency and the outdoor temperature value.

[0066] The target operating frequency is the optimal frequency of the compressor that can take into account energy saving and operating efficiency.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, step 103 comprises:

[0068] Obtaining a first proportional coefficient corresponding to the outdoor temperature value, and a second proportional coefficient corresponding to the set temperature value;

[0069] Determining a first product of the outdoor temperature value and the first proportional coefficient, and a second product of the set temperature value and the second proportional coefficient;

[0070] Determining the sum of the first product and the second product to obtain a target sum;

[0071] Determining the difference between the initial operating frequency and the target sum as the target operating frequency.

[0072] For example, let the initial operating frequency be F(y0), the outdoor temperature value be T out , the set temperature value be T m , the first proportional coefficient be K1, and the second proportional coefficient be K2. The target operating frequency F(zy) can be expressed as follows:

[0073] F(zy) = F(y0) - K1*T out + K2*T m

[0074] In practical applications, the first proportional coefficient and the second proportional coefficient can be determined according to the actual needs, for example, by calibrating experimental data.

[0075] Step 104, determining the sum of the set temperature value and the first preset difference value to obtain a target temperature upper limit value, and determining the difference between the set temperature value and the first preset difference value to obtain a target temperature lower limit value;

[0076] In step 104, the first preset difference value, that is, the preset threshold of the difference between the indoor temperature value and the set temperature value, represents the requirement for the control accuracy of the air conditioning unit. The higher the control accuracy requirement, the smaller the difference between the indoor temperature value and the set temperature value.

[0077] The range composed of the target temperature upper limit value and the target temperature lower limit value is used to judge different control modes of the compressor.

[0078] For example, assuming that the set temperature value is T m , the first preset difference value is △T k , the target temperature upper limit value is T m +△T k , and the target temperature lower limit value is T m -△T k .

[0079] Step 105, comparing the indoor temperature value with the target temperature upper limit value and the target temperature lower limit value to obtain a comparison result;

[0080] Step 106, performing refrigeration control on the air conditioning unit according to the comparison result, including:

[0081] Step 107, if the indoor temperature value is greater than the target temperature upper limit value, obtaining a preset upper limit frequency value and a preset lower limit frequency value of the compressor, and controlling the air conditioning unit according to the preset upper limit frequency value and the preset lower limit frequency value.

[0082] In step 107, if the indoor temperature value is greater than the target temperature upper limit value, the air conditioning unit needs to be controlled to enter the refrigeration mode for control, and at this time, the preset upper limit frequency value and the preset lower limit frequency value are obtained. The preset upper limit frequency value can be the maximum operating frequency value of the compressor during operation, and the preset lower limit frequency value can be the minimum operating frequency value of the compressor, which can be set by the compressor manufacturer when designing or shipping the compressor, or can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0083] Then, the operating frequency of the compressor during actual operation is adjusted within the range composed of the preset upper limit frequency value and the preset lower limit frequency value, so that the indoor temperature decreases and approaches the set temperature value as much as possible.

[0084] For example, assuming that the preset upper limit frequency value is F(h), the preset lower limit frequency value is F(1), and the operating frequency of the compressor is F(n), the adjustment range of the operating frequency of the compressor is F(1)≤F(n)≤F(h).

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the control of the air conditioning unit according to the preset upper limit value and the preset lower limit value of the frequency comprises:

[0086] In the second frequency range composed of the preset upper limit value and the preset lower limit value of the frequency, the operating frequency of the compressor is proportionally, integrally and differentially closed-loop regulated.

[0087] The proportionally, integrally and differentially closed-loop regulation, namely PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) regulation, works by continuously calculating error values (i.e. the difference between the set value and the actual value) and adjusting the control output according to the size of the error, the cumulative error and the error rate of change, so as to stabilize the system around the set value.

[0088] In some examples, the indoor temperature value and the set temperature value can be detected at different time periods, and the operating frequency of the compressor is PID closed-loop regulated according to the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value, and the frequency difference value that needs to be adjusted ΔF(n) can be obtained by the following formula:

[0089] ΔF(n) = K p *(ΔT n -ΔT n-1 )+K i *ΔT n +K d *(ΔT n -2ΔT n-1 +ΔT n-2 )

[0090] Wherein, K p is the proportional coefficient of the frequency of the compressor, K i is the differential proportional coefficient of the frequency of the compressor, and K d is the integral proportional coefficient of the frequency of the compressor; ΔTn is the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value at the current nth time period, ΔT n-1 is the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value at the n-1th, i.e. the last time period, and ΔT n-2 is the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value at the n-2th time period.

[0091] In the process of PID closed-loop regulation of the operating frequency of the compressor, the operating frequency F(n) of the compressor must not be greater than the preset upper limit value of the frequency, nor less than the preset lower limit value of the frequency, i.e. F(1) ≤ F(n) ≤ F(h). When the calculation result of the PID exceeds the range, the corresponding preset upper limit value or preset lower limit value of the frequency is used to control the operating frequency of the compressor.

[0092] If the indoor temperature value is greater than or equal to the lower limit of the target temperature and less than or equal to the upper limit of the target temperature, the air conditioning unit is controlled according to the target operating frequency.

[0093] In step 108, if the indoor temperature value is greater than or equal to the lower limit of the target temperature and less than or equal to the upper limit of the target temperature, it means that the control of the air conditioning unit on the temperature is within the range of control accuracy requirements, and the air conditioner can be controlled by the target operating frequency for energy-saving control, so that the air conditioning unit operates at a lower energy consumption while maintaining stable indoor temperature.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, the controlling the air conditioning unit according to the target operating frequency comprises:

[0095] obtaining a frequency upper deviation value and a frequency lower deviation value corresponding to the target operating frequency;

[0096] determining the sum of the target operating frequency and the frequency upper deviation value to obtain a target frequency upper limit value, and determining the difference between the target operating frequency and the frequency lower deviation value to obtain a target frequency lower limit value;

[0097] controlling the air conditioning unit according to the target frequency upper limit value and the target frequency lower limit value.

[0098] In this embodiment, the frequency upper deviation value is the upper limit deviation value of the target operating frequency, and the frequency lower deviation value is the lower limit deviation value of the target operating frequency. The frequency upper deviation value and the frequency lower deviation value are used to provide redundancy for the control of the operating frequency of the compressor. The range composed of the target frequency upper limit value and the target frequency lower limit value is the range for adjusting the operating frequency of the compressor.

[0099] In specific implementation, the operating frequency of the compressor during actual operation can be adjusted within the range composed of the target frequency upper limit value and the target frequency lower limit value, so that the operating frequency of the compressor is maintained at the optimal frequency as much as possible, which takes into account temperature regulation and energy-saving effect.

[0100] In some examples, let the frequency lower deviation value be C1, the frequency upper deviation value be C2, and the target operating frequency be F(zy). The target frequency upper limit value is F(zy)+C2, the target frequency lower limit value is F(zy)-C1, and the adjustment range of the operating frequency F(n) of the compressor is: F(zy)-C1≤F(n)≤F(zy)+C2.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the controlling the air conditioning unit according to the target frequency upper limit value and the target frequency lower limit value comprises:

[0102] The running frequency of the compressor is proportionally-integrally-differentiately closed-loop regulated in the first frequency range composed of the target frequency lower limit value and the target frequency upper limit value.

[0103] In some examples, the indoor temperature value and the set temperature value are detected in different time periods, and the running frequency of the compressor is PID closed-loop regulated according to the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value, and the frequency difference value that needs to be adjusted ΔF(n) can be obtained by the following formula:

[0104] ΔF(n)=Kp*(ΔTn-ΔTn-1)+Ki*ΔTn+Kd*(ΔTn-2ΔTn-1+ΔTn-2)

[0105] Wherein, Kp is the compressor frequency proportional coefficient, Ki is the compressor frequency differential proportional coefficient, Kd is the compressor frequency integral proportional coefficient; ΔTn is the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value in the current nth time period, ΔTn-1 is the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value in the (n-1)th, i.e. the last time period, and ΔTn-2 is the difference between the detected indoor temperature value and the set temperature value in the (n-2)th time period.

[0106] In the process of PID closed-loop regulating the running frequency of the compressor, the running frequency F(n) of the compressor must not be greater than the target frequency upper limit value, nor less than the target frequency lower limit value, i.e. F(zy)-C1≤F(n)≤F(zy)+C2. When the calculation result of the PID exceeds the range, the corresponding target frequency upper limit value or target frequency lower limit value is used to control the running frequency of the compressor.

[0107] Step 109, if the indoor temperature value is less than the target temperature lower limit value, the air conditioning unit is controlled to be in standby.

[0108] In step 109, if the indoor temperature value is less than the target temperature lower limit value, it means that the air conditioning unit does not need to perform refrigeration at this time, and the air conditioning unit is controlled to enter the standby state.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, the control of the air conditioning unit in standby includes:

[0110] The compressor is controlled to be turned off, the fan in the evaporator is controlled to be turned off, and the fan in the condenser is controlled to be turned off with a time delay.

[0111] In this embodiment, when the air conditioning unit is in standby mode, by controlling the compressor to shut down, the fan in the evaporator to shut down, and the fan in the condenser to shut down after a delay, the air conditioning unit can stop the function of some equipment while remaining powered on, thus avoiding unnecessary energy consumption. The delayed shutdown of the fan in the condenser can prevent problems such as condensate buildup and corrosion inside the condenser. The specific delay time can be determined according to actual needs, such as 10 seconds or 15 seconds.

[0112] In practical applications, when controlling the air conditioning unit to be in standby mode, the electronic expansion valve between the condenser and evaporator, and the solenoid valve controlling the flow of refrigerant can also be closed.

[0113] In some examples, such as Figure 3 As shown, a diagram illustrating the implementation process of refrigeration control for the air conditioning unit is also provided, as detailed below:

[0114] When the cooling mechanism (i.e., the air conditioning unit) is powered on, the outdoor temperature value T is monitored in real time. out Indoor temperature T in The operating frequency F(n) of the compressor;

[0115] Determine the target operating frequency of the compressor, i.e., the optimal operating frequency F(zy);

[0116] For indoor temperature value T in Set temperature value T m Make judgments and comparisons:

[0117] If Tin > TM + △Tk, control the air conditioning unit to enter the cooling mode, and perform PID closed-loop regulation on the compressor's operating frequency F(n) within the range of F(1) ≤ F(n) ≤ F(h);

[0118] If T m -△T k ≤T in ≤T M +△T k The air conditioning unit is controlled to enter node mode, and the operating frequency F(n) of the compressor is adjusted by PID closed loop within the range of F(zy)-C1≤F(n)≤F(zy)+C2;

[0119] If T in <T m -△T k This controls the air conditioning unit to enter standby mode.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes:

[0121] In the process of performing refrigeration control on the air conditioning unit according to the comparison result, the temperature value of the copper pipe in the evaporator and the evaporation temperature value of the evaporator are detected;

[0122] If the temperature value of the copper pipe is less than or equal to the preset entering defrosting mode temperature value, and the difference between the indoor temperature value and the evaporation temperature value is greater than or equal to a second preset difference value, the refrigeration control on the air conditioning unit is stopped, and the defrosting control on the air conditioning unit is performed.

[0123] In the present embodiment, since the surface temperature of the evaporator is too low during the refrigeration of the air conditioning unit, the moisture in the air may condense into frost or ice on the surface of the evaporator, at which time the defrosting control is needed to exit the refrigeration mode and enter the defrosting mode. In the defrosting mode, the air conditioning system can heat the surface of the evaporator by an electric heater or hot gas bypass to remove the frost or ice on the surface of the evaporator, so as to ensure the normal operation of the system.

[0124] The entering defrosting mode temperature value is a judgment temperature value for entering the defrosting mode.

[0125] The evaporation temperature value is the temperature value of the refrigerant when changing from a liquid state to a gaseous state in the evaporator.

[0126] The second preset difference value is the allowable difference value between the indoor temperature value and the outdoor temperature value. Exemplarily, corresponding second preset difference values can be set in different operating modes, different adjustment ranges of the operating frequency of the compressor, and different outdoor temperatures.

[0127] When the temperature value of the copper pipe is less than or equal to the entering defrosting mode temperature value, and the difference between the indoor temperature value and the evaporation temperature value is greater than or equal to the second preset difference value, it means that the surface of the evaporator may have been frosted, and the defrosting control is needed.

[0128] In some examples, a timer is also added to determine whether to enter the defrosting mode. For example, a countdown is set when the air conditioning unit is turned on, which can also be referred to as a defrosting remaining time. When it is detected that the temperature value of the copper pipe is less than or equal to the preset entering defrosting mode temperature value, if the countdown is 0, the difference between the indoor temperature value and the evaporation temperature value is further detected; if the countdown is not 0, the defrosting mode is not needed to be entered, and the subsequent detection of the difference between the indoor temperature value and the evaporation temperature value is not performed.

[0129] In actual application, if the temperature value of the copper pipe is less than or equal to the entering defrosting mode temperature value, but the difference between the indoor temperature value and the evaporation temperature value is less than the second preset difference value, the original operating state of the air conditioning unit, such as the refrigeration mode, the energy saving mode, the standby mode, etc., can be maintained.

[0130] In some embodiments of the present application, the method further comprises:

[0131] In the process of defrosting control of the air conditioning unit, the temperature value of the copper pipe is detected;

[0132] The duration of defrosting control is obtained, and if the temperature value of the copper pipe is greater than a preset defrost mode exit temperature value, and / or the duration of defrosting control is greater than or equal to a preset duration, the defrosting control of the air conditioning unit is stopped.

[0133] In this embodiment, the defrost mode exit temperature value is the determination temperature value for exiting the defrost mode. In the process of defrosting control of the air conditioning unit, the temperature value of the copper pipe is detected. If the temperature value of the copper pipe is greater than the temperature value of the defrost mode, it indicates that the frost on the surface of the evaporator has been removed at this time, and the defrost mode can be exited, and the air conditioning unit returns to its original state, such as the refrigeration mode, the energy saving mode, the standby mode, etc.

[0134] At the same time, in order to avoid damage caused by long time heating of the evaporator, when the duration of defrosting control is greater than or equal to a preset duration, the defrosting control is also exited.

[0135] In some examples, as Figure 4 shown, a process diagram of defrosting control of the air conditioning unit is also provided, which is as follows:

[0136] When the refrigeration unit is in the power-on state, the unit detects the indoor temperature value Tin, the evaporator temperature T 蒸发 , the defrosting temperature (i.e. the real-time temperature of the copper pipe in the evaporator) T 化霜 , the compressor operating frequency F(n), and the defrosting remaining time (i.e. the countdown time for entering the defrosting mode) t 化霜余时 .

[0137] When T 化霜 ≤ T 化霜进入温度 and t 化霜余时 = 0, whether the difference AT1 between Tin and T 化霜 is greater than the set difference AT0 between the different frequency sections, the different environment temperatures and the target evaporator temperature is detected to determine whether the unit enters defrosting.

[0138] If AT1 < AT0, the unit remains in the original state and operates;

[0139] If AT1 ≥ AT0, the defrosting mode is entered. When T 化霜 > T 化霜退出温度 or the defrosting time is greater than the set maximum defrosting duration t 化霜时长max , the unit exits the defrosting mode.
