[0033] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present application, a method for controlling an air conditioner is provided.

[0035] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0036] Step S101, obtaining the outdoor ambient temperature and the set temperature, and determining the comfortable temperature range according to the set temperature, and determining the outdoor temperature range in which the outdoor ambient temperature is located.

[0037] Exemplarily, after obtaining the outdoor ambient temperature, the lower temperature limit and the upper temperature limit of the operating temperature of the air conditioner outdoor unit are set, and the above-mentioned outdoor temperature range is determined based on different upper and / or lower temperature limits, wherein the set temperature is the indoor air conditioning outlet temperature set by the air conditioning user according to his or her own comfort needs, and the upper and lower temperature limits of the indoor air conditioning outlet temperature are set according to user needs, and the above-mentioned comfort temperature range is determined based on different upper and lower temperature limits.

[0038] Step S102, determining the operation information function of the air conditioner according to different outdoor temperature intervals and comfortable temperature intervals.

[0039] Exemplarily, different outdoor temperature intervals may be temperature upper limits and temperature lower limits corresponding to different outdoor ambient temperatures, and different outdoor temperature intervals are determined according to different temperature upper limits and / or temperature lower limits.

[0040] The operation information function of the air conditioner may be at least one of a compressor frequency function, an outdoor fan speed function, and an expansion valve opening function.

[0041] Specifically, when the operating information function includes a compressor frequency function and the component of the air conditioner is a compressor, the operating information function of the air conditioner can be determined according to different outdoor temperature intervals and comfort temperature intervals by the following steps: determining the compressor frequency of the compressor operating in the outdoor temperature interval; determining the compressor frequency function according to the compressor frequency and the outdoor temperature value in the outdoor temperature interval, so that when the compressor operates according to the frequency function, the indoor temperature of the air conditioner is in the comfort temperature range.

[0042] For example, the outdoor temperature range is T4≤T 4-1 , where T4 is the current outdoor ambient temperature, T 4-1 is the upper limit temperature value of T4 in the outdoor temperature range, and the monitored outdoor temperature range is T4≤T 4-1 When the compressor frequency of the air conditioner compressor is set to f1, according to the temperature range T4≤T 4-1 The interval temperature value in and f1 determine the compressor frequency function f(T4, f), where T4 is the independent variable of the compressor frequency function and f is the dependent variable of the compressor frequency function. By monitoring T4, the compressor frequency is dynamically adjusted to f1, thereby achieving linear control of the indoor temperature of the air conditioner in the comfortable temperature range, and further improving the user experience.

[0043] Specifically, determining the compressor frequency function based on the compressor frequency and the outdoor temperature value in the outdoor temperature interval can be achieved through the following steps: calculating the temperature difference between two adjacent outdoor temperature values ​​in the outdoor temperature interval; determining the frequency slope of the compressor frequency; determining the compressor frequency function based on the temperature difference and the compressor frequency and the frequency slope.

[0044] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the compressor frequency function f(T4, f) may include 8 temperature intervals, and each temperature interval includes at least sample points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. For example, in the temperature interval T 4－1 <T4≤T 4－2 When T 4－1 <T4≤T 4－2 The temperature difference between two adjacent outdoor temperature values ​​is △T4, according to Figure 2The frequency slope kfn of the compressor frequency is determined by the sample points in , and the compressor frequency function is determined according to the temperature difference and the compressor frequency and the frequency slope, wherein the compressor frequency function f(T4, f) can be obtained by the following formula:

[0045] f(T4, f) = fn + kfn * △T4,

[0046] Among them, fn is the allowable compressor frequency within the temperature range, kfn is the frequency slope within the temperature range, △T4 is the change between the next moment and the previous moment T4 within the range. By determining the compressor frequency function, the present application further ensures that the operating mechanism of the air conditioner smoothly transitions to the comfortable temperature range set by the user.

[0047] Specifically, when the operating information function includes: an outdoor fan speed function, the component of the air conditioner is the outdoor fan, and the operating information function of the air conditioner is determined according to different outdoor temperature ranges and comfortable temperature ranges. It can be obtained through the following steps: determining the outdoor fan speed of the outdoor fan in the outdoor temperature range; determining the outdoor fan speed function according to the outdoor fan speed and the outdoor temperature value in the outdoor temperature range, so that when the outdoor fan operates according to the speed function, the indoor temperature of the air conditioner is in the comfortable temperature range.

[0048] Exemplarily, the monitoring outdoor temperature interval is T 4-1 <T4≤T 4-2 When the outdoor fan speed F is set within the outdoor temperature range, the outdoor fan speed F is set according to the temperature range T 4-1 <T4≤T 4-2 The interval temperature value in and F determine the outdoor fan speed function f(T4, F), where T4 is the independent variable of the outdoor fan speed function and F is the dependent variable of the outdoor fan speed function. By monitoring T4, the outdoor fan speed is dynamically adjusted to F, thereby achieving linear control of the indoor temperature of the air conditioner in the comfortable temperature range, and further improving the user experience.

[0049] Specifically, determining the outdoor fan speed function according to the outdoor fan speed and the outdoor temperature value in the outdoor temperature range can be achieved through the following steps: determining the wind speed slope of the outdoor fan speed; determining the outdoor fan speed function according to the temperature difference, the outdoor fan speed and the wind speed slope.

[0050] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the outdoor fan speed function f(T4, F) may include 8 temperature intervals, and each temperature interval includes at least sample points A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, H1, and I1. For example, in the temperature interval T 4－1 <T4≤T 4－2 When T 4－1<T4≤T 4－2 The temperature difference between two adjacent outdoor temperature values ​​is △T4, according to Figure 3 The frequency slope kFn of the compressor frequency is determined by the sample points in , and the outdoor fan speed function is determined according to the temperature difference, the outdoor fan speed and the wind speed slope, wherein the outdoor fan speed function f(T4, F) can be obtained by the following formula:

[0051] f(T4, F) = Fn + kFn * △T4;

[0052] Among them, Fn is the allowable outdoor fan speed within the temperature range, kFn is the wind speed slope within the temperature range, △T4 is the change between the next moment and the previous moment T4 within the range. By determining the outdoor fan speed function, this application further ensures that the operating mechanism of the air conditioner smoothly transitions to the comfortable temperature range set by the user.

[0053] Specifically, when the operating information function includes: an expansion valve opening function, and the component of the air conditioner is an expansion valve, the operating information function of the air conditioner is determined according to different outdoor temperature intervals and comfort temperature intervals. It can be achieved through the following steps: determining the speed interval corresponding to the outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner according to the outdoor temperature interval; determining the expansion valve opening for the operation of the expansion valve within the speed interval; determining the expansion valve opening function according to the expansion valve opening and the outdoor fan speed in the speed interval, so that when the expansion valve operates according to the frequency function, the indoor temperature of the air conditioner is in the comfortable temperature range.

[0054] For example, assuming that the outdoor temperature range is T 4-1 <T4≤T 4-2 When the speed interval corresponding to the monitored outdoor fan speed of the air conditioner is F1<F≤F2, the expansion valve opening of the expansion valve in the speed interval is set to L, and the expansion valve opening function f(F, L) is determined according to the expansion valve opening and the outdoor fan speed in the speed interval, wherein F is the independent variable of the expansion valve opening function and L is the dependent variable of the expansion valve opening function. By monitoring F, the expansion valve opening is dynamically adjusted to L, thereby realizing linear control of the indoor temperature of the air conditioner in the comfortable temperature range, and further improving the user experience.

[0055] Specifically, the expansion valve opening function can be determined based on the expansion valve opening and the outdoor fan speed in the speed range through the following steps: calculating the speed difference between two adjacent outdoor fan speeds in the speed range; determining the opening slope of the expansion valve opening; determining the expansion valve opening function based on the speed difference, the expansion valve opening and the opening slope.

[0056] For example, Figure 4As shown, the expansion valve opening function f(F, L) may include 8 temperature intervals, and each temperature interval includes at least sample points A2, B2, C2, D2, E2, F2, G2, H2, and I2. For example, when the speed interval corresponding to the outdoor fan speed is F1<F≤F2, the speed difference △F of the outdoor fan speed in F1<F≤F2 is calculated. Figure 4 The frequency slope kLn of the compressor frequency is determined by the sample points in , and the expansion valve opening function is determined according to the speed difference, the expansion valve opening and the opening slope, wherein the expansion valve opening function f(F, L) can be obtained by the following formula:

[0057] f(F, L) = Ln + kLn*ΔF;

[0058] Among them, Ln is the allowable expansion valve opening in the temperature range, kLn is the expansion valve opening slope in the speed range, △F is the change of F between the next moment and the previous moment in the range. By determining the expansion valve opening function, the present application further ensures that the operating mechanism of the air conditioner smoothly transitions to the comfortable temperature range set by the user.

[0059] Step S103, determining control parameters of the air conditioner according to the outdoor temperature interval of the outdoor ambient temperature and the operation information function, and controlling the air conditioner according to the control parameters.

[0060] Among them, the control parameters of the air conditioner may include: compressor frequency, outdoor fan speed, and expansion valve opening.

[0061] For example, after the air conditioner is turned on for cooling, the outdoor ambient temperature T4 is determined. For example, setting T4 to 8 temperature intervals, the specific control rules are as follows:

[0062] 1. T4≤T 4-1 , when TSL≤TS≤TSM, the compressor operates at the frequency of f1, the outdoor fan operates at F1, and the expansion valve opening operates at the f(F,L) function in the range of F≤F1;

[0064] 3. T 4-2 <T4≤T 4-3 , when TSL≤TS≤TSM, the compressor is T4-2 <T4≤T 4-3 The outdoor fan operates at the frequency function f(T4,f) of the interval. 4-2 <T4≤T 4-3 The expansion valve operates at the f(T4,F) function in the interval F2<F≤F3;

[0065] 4. T 4-3 <T4≤T 4-4 , when TSL≤TS≤TSM, the compressor is T 4-3 <T4≤T 4-4 The outdoor fan operates at the frequency function f(T4,f) of the interval. 4-3 <T4≤T 4-4 The expansion valve opening operates according to the function f(F,L) in the interval F3<F≤F4;

[0067] 6. T 4-5 <T4≤T 4-6 , when TSL≤TS≤TSM, the compressor is T 4-5 <T4≤T 4-6 The outdoor fan operates at the frequency function f(T4,f) of the interval. 4-5 <T4≤T 4-6 The expansion valve operates at the function f(F,L) in the interval of F5<F≤F6;

[0068] 7. T 4-6 <T4≤T 4-7 , when TSL≤TS≤TSM, the compressor is T 4-6 <T4≤T 4-7 The outdoor fan operates at the frequency function f(T4,f) of the interval. 4-6 <T4≤T 4-7 The expansion valve operates at the f(T4,F) function in the interval F6<F≤F7;

[0069] 8. T 4-7 <T4≤T 4-8, when TSL≤TS≤TSM, the compressor is T 4-7 <T4≤T 4-8 The outdoor fan operates at the frequency function f(T4,f) of the interval. 4-7 <T4≤T 4-8 The expansion valve operates at the f(T4,F) function in the interval F7<F≤F8;

[0070] 9. T 4-8 <T4≤T 4-9 , when TSL≤TS≤TSM, the compressor is T 4-8 <T4≤T 4-9 The outdoor fan operates at the frequency function f(T4,f) of the interval. 4-8 <T4≤T 4-9 The expansion valve operates at the f(F,L) function in the interval of F8<F≤F9;

[0071] 10. T 4-9 <T4, TSL≤TS≤TSM, the system enters high temperature protection state, and the compressor is 4-9 <T4 interval allowed protection) frequency operation, the outdoor fan runs at T 4-9 The engine runs at the maximum allowable speed in the T4 range, and the expansion valve opens at the maximum degree.

[0072] This application sets the upper and lower limits of the user's comfort temperature, so that when the customer sets the indoor temperature within the comfort temperature range, the compressor frequency, outdoor unit fan speed, and electronic expansion valve are controlled according to linear rules. After the system runs stably, each parameter can be linearly adjusted according to changes in outdoor and indoor temperatures, effectively improving user comfort.
