[0002] With the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, the popularity of air conditioners is getting higher and higher. In cold winter or hot summer, air conditioners are needed to improve the temperature environment. The component of air conditioners for heat exchange is the heat exchanger. During the cooling process of air conditioners, the outdoor heat exchanger acts as a condenser to release heat to the outdoor environment, so that the temperature around the heat exchanger increases; during the heating process of air conditioners, the outdoor heat exchanger acts as an evaporator to absorb heat from the outdoor environment, so that the temperature around the heat exchanger decreases.

[0003] Current buildings usually reserve space for the installation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. However, due to the small and confined installation space or the presence of grilles or obstacles that block the outdoor unit in the installation space, the ventilation of the installation space is not smooth, which can easily affect the heat exchange performance of the outdoor heat exchanger, and the cooling and heating effects of the air conditioner will also be seriously reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Figure 1 A flow chart of an air conditioner intelligent control method of the present invention is described, the method comprising: S11, determining the on / off state of the air conditioner; S12, based on the air conditioner on / off state being the on state, obtaining a first ambient temperature difference between the on time and the first target time; wherein the first target time is determined based on the on time and the first preset time interval; S13, comparing the first ambient temperature difference with a first preset threshold, and determining whether it is in a normal installation environment based on the comparison result; S14, based on the determination that the installation environment is abnormal, reporting that the heat dissipation of the external unit is poor.

[0020] It should be noted that the step numbers "S1N" in this manual do not represent the order of the air conditioner intelligent control method. Figure 2 The air conditioner intelligent control method of the present invention is described.

[0021] Step S11, determining the on / off status of the air conditioner.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, determining the on / off state of the air conditioner also includes: based on the on / off state of the air conditioner being the off state, obtaining a third ambient temperature difference between the off time and a third target time; wherein the third target time is determined based on the off time and a second preset time interval; determining whether the third ambient temperature error is within a preset temperature difference range, and based on determining that the third ambient temperature error is outside the preset temperature difference range, determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment, and reporting poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit.

[0023] It should be noted that based on the air conditioner on / off state being the off state, obtaining the third ambient temperature difference between the off time and the third target time includes: based on the air conditioner on / off state being the off state, obtaining the outdoor temperature at the off time, and obtaining the outdoor temperature after the third target time of shutdown; obtaining the third ambient temperature difference according to the outdoor temperature at the off time and the outdoor temperature after the third target time of shutdown.

[0024] It should be added that when obtaining the outdoor temperature, since the air conditioner is in the off state, the real-time outdoor temperature of the air conditioner location can be obtained by connecting to the network through a preset connection method, such as a mobile hotspot. In addition, the third target time and the preset temperature difference range can be set according to the actual temperature change of the air conditioner location and the heat dissipation capacity or prior experience. For example, the third target time can be 30 minutes, and the preset temperature difference range can be [,-5℃,5℃], etc., which are not further limited here.

[0025] Further, after determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment and reporting that the outdoor unit has poor heat dissipation, it includes: sending an outdoor unit environment inspection notification to the user end, and sending an after-sales notification to the service end; and / or, based on the air conditioner being turned on, using a preset outdoor fan control strategy to control the operation of the outdoor fan, and obtaining the fourth ambient temperature difference before and after the fourth target time of the outdoor fan operation; comparing the fourth ambient temperature difference with the first preset threshold to re-determine whether it is in a normal installation environment, and determine whether the outdoor fan has reached the maximum speed, and based on the outdoor fan not reaching the maximum speed and determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment, re-use the preset outdoor fan control strategy to control the operation of the outdoor fan until it is in a normal installation environment or the outdoor fan reaches the maximum speed. It should be noted that the specific control steps based on the air conditioner being turned on can be referred to below, and will not be repeated here.

[0026] It is worth noting that after determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment and reporting the poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit, an outdoor unit environment inspection notification is sent to the user end to allow the user to promptly understand the possible heat dissipation problems of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, enhance the user's right to know about the equipment status, and encourage the user to cooperate with subsequent inspections or rectification work, improve user participation and cooperation in problem solving, and send after-sales notifications to the service end, so that the after-sales service team can respond quickly and arrange professional personnel to conduct further inspections and repairs in time, shorten the repair time, improve the overall after-sales efficiency, ensure the user's experience, and avoid more serious failures caused by poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit; or, according to the poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit reported in the shutdown state, after the next startup, the above-mentioned control strategy is used to achieve adaptive adjustment of heat dissipation, so as to alleviate the problem of poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit to a certain extent.

[0027] Step S12, based on the air conditioner being in the on state, obtaining a first ambient temperature difference between the on time and the first target time; wherein the first target time is determined based on the on time and the first preset time interval.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the second preset time interval is greater than the first preset time interval.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first target time includes a first sub-time and a second sub-time, the first preset time interval includes a first sub-interval and a second sub-interval, the second sub-interval is greater than the first sub-interval, the first sub-time is determined based on the power-on time and the first sub-interval, and the second sub-time is determined based on the power-on time and the second sub-interval.

[0030] Correspondingly, based on the air conditioner on / off state being the on state, the first ambient temperature difference between the on time and the first target time is obtained, including: based on the air conditioner on / off state being the on state, the air conditioner operation mode is determined; based on the air conditioner operation mode being the cooling mode, the first ambient temperature difference between the on time and the first sub time is obtained; based on the air conditioner operation mode being the heating mode, the first ambient temperature difference between the on time and the second sub time is obtained.

[0031] It should be noted that the first sub-interval and the second sub-interval can be configured based on the design requirements or prior experience in the corresponding air-conditioning operation mode, for example, the first sub-interval in cooling mode is 10 minutes, the second sub-interval in heating mode is 20 minutes, etc., and no further limitation is made here.

[0032] Specifically, obtaining the first ambient temperature difference between the power-on time and the first sub-time includes: detecting the outdoor ambient temperature based on the ambient temperature sensor to obtain the outdoor ambient temperature at the power-on time and the outdoor ambient temperature at the first sub-time; obtaining the corresponding first ambient temperature difference according to the outdoor ambient temperature at the power-on time and the outdoor ambient temperature at the first sub-time.

[0033] In addition, obtaining the first ambient temperature difference between the power-on time and the second sub-time includes: detecting the outdoor ambient temperature based on the ambient temperature sensor to obtain the outdoor ambient temperature at the power-on time and the outdoor ambient temperature at the second sub-time; and obtaining the corresponding first ambient temperature difference based on the outdoor ambient temperature at the power-on time and the outdoor ambient temperature at the second sub-time.

[0034] Step S13, comparing the first ambient temperature difference with a first preset threshold, and determining whether it is in a normal installation environment based on the comparison result.

[0035] In this embodiment, comparing the first ambient temperature difference with the first preset threshold, and determining whether it is in a normal installation environment based on the comparison result, includes: determining whether the first ambient temperature difference is less than the first preset threshold, if the first ambient temperature difference is less than the first preset threshold, determining that it is in a normal installation environment; otherwise, determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment. It should be added that if it is determined to be in a normal installation environment, the outdoor fan is controlled to continue to operate at the current speed.

[0036] Step S14: based on the determination that the installation environment is abnormal, report that the heat dissipation of the external unit is poor.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, reference Figure 2, after determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment and reporting poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit, it includes: using a preset outdoor fan control strategy to control the operation of the outdoor fan, and obtaining a second ambient temperature difference before and after the second target time of the outdoor fan operation; comparing the second ambient temperature difference with the first preset threshold to re-determine whether it is in a normal installation environment, and determine whether the outdoor fan has reached the maximum speed, and if the outdoor fan has not reached the maximum speed and based on determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment, re-using the preset outdoor fan control strategy to control the operation of the outdoor fan until it is in a normal installation environment or the outdoor fan reaches the maximum speed.

[0038] It should be noted that when it is determined that the environment is not normal, the fan operation is controlled by utilizing the preset outdoor fan control strategy, and the second ambient temperature difference before and after the operation is obtained and compared with the first preset threshold value, so as to re-evaluate whether the installation environment is normal in combination with the temperature change data in actual operation, so as to make the judgment more accurate and scientific and reduce misjudgment. According to the re-determined environmental installation result, the fan is adjusted again by utilizing the preset outdoor fan control strategy until the normal installation environment or the maximum speed of the fan is reached, so as to realize adaptive adjustment of heat dissipation, so as to alleviate the problem of poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit to a certain extent. Even in an abnormal installation environment, the normal heat dissipation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner can be maintained as much as possible through the intelligent adjustment of the fan, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner.

[0039] Specifically, a preset outdoor fan control strategy is used to control the operation of the outdoor fan, and a second ambient temperature difference before and after the second target operation time of the outdoor fan is obtained, including: according to the preset outdoor fan control strategy, the outdoor fan speed is controlled to increase the first preset speed to operate at a first preset speed; based on controlling the outdoor fan to increase the first preset speed to operate, the second ambient temperature difference between the operation start time and the operation after the second target time is obtained.

[0040] It should be noted that the preset outdoor fan control strategy may be to adjust the outdoor fan speed in a manner of increasing the first preset speed.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, before controlling the outdoor fan speed to increase the first preset speed according to the preset outdoor fan control strategy and the first preset speed, it includes: determining the corresponding first preset speed according to the difference between the second ambient temperature difference and the first preset threshold value in combination with the preset outdoor fan control strategy; wherein the preset outdoor fan control strategy includes the difference between the second ambient temperature difference and the first preset threshold value and the first preset speed corresponding to the difference; or, inputting the difference between the second ambient temperature difference and the first preset threshold value into the speed prediction model to obtain the first preset speed output by the speed prediction model; wherein the speed prediction model is trained based on the difference training data between the second ambient temperature difference and the first preset threshold value and the first preset speed training data corresponding to the difference.

[0042] It should be noted that the preset outdoor fan control strategy can be configured to determine the corresponding first preset speed based on the difference between the second ambient temperature difference and the first preset threshold, that is, the preset outdoor fan control strategy includes the difference between the second ambient temperature difference and the first preset threshold and the first preset speed corresponding to the difference.

[0043] Furthermore, when configuring the first preset speed corresponding to the difference, it can be set according to the size of the difference and the actual heat dissipation demand. For example, if the difference is small (such as 1, ··· or x, etc.) or is in a smaller range (such as [0, x]), since the temperature difference of the second ambient temperature is close to the first preset threshold, a slightly smaller first preset speed can be used to alleviate the problem of poor heat dissipation of the external unit to a certain extent. Similarly, if the difference is large (such as x+1, ··· or x+n) or is in a larger range (such as [x+1, x+n]), the first preset speed can be used. The size of the difference is used to divide the interval range, and a corresponding first preset speed is configured for each interval range. The larger the difference, the larger the first preset speed of the corresponding interval range. For example, [x+1, x+n] is divided into [x+1, x+1+i), [x+1+i, x+1+2i), ··· and [x+1, x+n], and the corresponding first preset speeds are N1, N2, ···Nn, respectively, where N1<N2<···<Nn. The specific configuration can be based on the actual heat dissipation requirements and the actual heat dissipation capacity of the outdoor fan to ensure that the poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit is alleviated to a certain extent.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the second ambient temperature difference is compared with the first preset threshold to re-determine whether it is in the normal installation environment, including: based on the outdoor fan reaching the maximum speed and determining that it is in an abnormal installation environment, sending an outdoor environment inspection notification to the user end and sending an after-sales notification to the service end; based on the outdoor fan not reaching the maximum speed and determining that it is in a normal installation environment, controlling the outdoor fan to maintain the corresponding speed and continue to operate.

[0045] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention determines the on / off state of the air conditioner to focus on the ambient temperature changes at the initial stage of the air conditioner operation in the on state, and obtains the first ambient temperature difference between the start-up time and the first target time to capture the change trend of the ambient temperature around the outdoor unit when the air conditioner just starts to run, so as to facilitate timely discovery of potential heat dissipation anomalies, and by comparing the first ambient temperature difference with the first preset threshold, a quantitative method is used to determine whether it is in a normal installation environment, so as to accurately identify the poor heat dissipation of the outdoor unit, reduce the possibility of misjudgment and missed judgment, thereby timely discovering and reporting the poor heat dissipation problem of the outdoor unit, and providing a reliable basis for subsequent repair and maintenance work.
