Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to a method and device for treating dirt and blockage in a condensate treatment system, and air conditioning equipment. Background Art

[0002] Window air conditioners can achieve the purpose of not having to discharge condensed water through a drain pipe by collecting and consuming condensed water. Cooling-only air conditioners only need to collect condensed water on the evaporator side for reuse. For heating and cooling air conditioners, condensed water will be generated on the indoor side in cooling mode and on the outdoor side in heating mode. The condensed water consumption of heating and cooling air conditioners needs to be concentrated on the indoor side or the outdoor side for reuse. Reusing the condensed water generated by the air conditioner can improve the efficiency of the heat exchanger and solve the problem of condensed water discharge.

[0003] The consumption of condensed water by atomization can be achieved without connecting a drain pipe. However, a water tank is required to collect the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger. In harsh environments such as dust, lint, and long-term use, debris adheres to the heat exchanger of the air conditioner. As the condensed water gathers in the water tank, it will cause the water tank and the drainage device to become dirty and blocked, affecting the consumption of condensed water.

[0030] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for treating dirt and blockage in a condensate water treatment system. The condensate water treatment system can be applied to air-conditioning equipment, which can be an integrated window air conditioner or a split air conditioner with an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. It is also applicable to other air-conditioning systems and non-air-conditioning systems that require water storage and drainage.

[0031] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an air conditioning device to which the dirty blockage treatment method of the condensate treatment system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning equipment at least includes a refrigerant circulation system 100 , an air conditioning control system 200 and a condensed water treatment system 300 , wherein the condensed water treatment system 300 is used to collect and treat the condensed water generated by the refrigerant circulation system 100 .

[0032] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the layout of the condensate treatment system and the refrigerant circulation system, such as Figure 2As shown, the refrigerant circulation system 100 may include an indoor heat exchanger 110 and an outdoor heat exchanger 120. In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant circulation system 100 may be a circulation loop formed by sequentially connecting a compressor (not shown), an outdoor heat exchanger 120, a throttling component (not shown) and an indoor heat exchanger 120.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the condensate treatment system 300 may include a first water storage tank 311 for collecting condensate generated by the indoor heat exchanger 110, a second water storage tank 312 for collecting condensate generated by the outdoor heat exchanger 120, and a first drainage device 313 for atomizing and / or gasifying the condensate in the first water storage tank 311 and discharging it to the outdoor environment. It is understood that the first water storage tank 311 and the second water storage tank 312 may be connected, or the condensate treatment system 300 may further include a second drainage device 314 for transferring the condensate in the second water storage tank 312 to the first water storage tank 311.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the first drainage device 313 may include: a water pump 313a for extracting condensed water from the first water storage tank 311 and a spray head 313b connected to the water outlet of the water pump 313a. The spray head 313b may be fixedly arranged on the shell of the air-conditioning equipment and extend outside the shell so that the spray head 313b can discharge condensed water to the outdoor environment.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the second drainage device 314 may include: a water pump 314a for extracting condensed water from the second water storage tank 312 and a water pipe 314b connected to the water pump 314a, one end of the water pipe 314b of the second drainage device 314 connected to the water outlet of the water pump 314a is arranged in the first water storage tank 311, and one end of the water pipe 314b of the second drainage device 314 connected to the water inlet of the water pump 314a is arranged in the second water storage tank 312.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a first water level detection device 315 is provided in the first water storage tank 311, which is used to detect the water level in the first water storage tank 311 and provide it to the air conditioning control system 200. If the condensed water accumulated in the second water storage tank 312 needs to be transferred to the first water storage tank 311 through the second drainage device 314, then a second water level detection device 316 can also be provided in the second water storage tank 312, which is used to detect the water level in the second water storage tank 312 and provide it to the air conditioning control system 200.

[0037] The method for treating dirt and blockage in a condensate treatment system provided in an embodiment of the present invention can be performed as follows: Figure 1 The air conditioning control system 200 shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 A schematic flow chart of a method for treating dirt and blockage in a condensate water treatment system provided in an embodiment of the present invention is provided. The method for treating dirt and blockage in a condensate water treatment system comprises the following steps S301 to S303.

[0038] S301. During the operation of the air conditioning equipment, monitor the water level in the first water storage tank 311.

[0039] If the first water storage tank 311 and the second water storage tank 312 of the condensed water treatment system 300 are connected, only the water level in the first water storage tank 311 can be monitored. In some embodiments, if a power-on instruction for the air-conditioning device is obtained, the first water level detection device 315 disposed in the first water storage tank 311 is triggered to start detecting the water level in the first water storage tank 311 and provide it to the air-conditioning control system 200, so that the air-conditioning control system 200 can monitor the water level in the first water storage tank 311 during the operation of the air-conditioning device, and the first drainage device 313 does not need to be turned on at this time.

[0040] S302 , if it is monitored that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 rises to a first water level, the first drainage device 313 is opened to discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 .

[0041] In some embodiments, the water level in the first water tank 311 can be detected in real time at a preset frequency to determine whether the water level in the first water tank 311 detected each time is lower than the first water level height. If the water level in the first water tank 311 detected last time is not lower than the first water level height, it is determined that the water level in the first water tank 311 has risen to the first water level height.

[0042] It should be noted that the first water level is the drainage level of the first water tank 311, indicating that the amount of condensed water accumulated in the first water tank 311 has reached the standard required for discharge. The first water level needs to be set according to the highest water level of the first water tank 311, and the first water level is lower than the highest water level of the first water tank 311. For example, the first water level can be set within the range of 50% to 80% of the highest water level of the first water tank 311, so that the water surface of the condensed water in the first water tank 311 will not be higher than the height of the first water tank 311, ensuring that the condensed water accumulated in the first water tank 311 does not overflow.

[0043] In some embodiments, in step S302, the step of starting the first drainage device 313 to discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 may include: controlling the first drainage device 313 to continuously discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311, wherein the first drainage device 313 may be controlled to be in a continuously started state so that the first drainage device 313 continuously discharges the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311. During the process of the first drainage device 313 continuously discharging the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311, it is determined once every first preset time interval whether the water level in the first water storage tank 311 is lower than the second water level. For each judgment, if it is judged that the water level in the first water tank 311 is lower than the second water level height, it indicates that the first drainage device 313 has completed the discharge of the condensed water in the first water tank 311, that is, there is no condensed water that needs to be discharged in the first water tank 311, then the first drainage device 313 is controlled to stop until it is monitored that the water level in the first water tank 311 rises to the first water level again, and then the first drainage device 313 is started to continuously discharge the condensed water in the first water tank 311; if it is judged that the water level in the first water tank 311 is not lower than the second water level height, it indicates that there is still condensed water that needs to be discharged in the first water tank 311, and the occurrence of the first event is recorded, but no action is performed on the first drainage device 313.

[0044] In other embodiments, in step S302, the step of starting the first drainage device 313 to drain the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 may include: controlling the first drainage device 313 to drain the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 in turn, wherein the first drainage device 313 drains the condensed water for a first preset time each time. The first drainage device 313 may drain the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 in turn by controlling the water pump 313a of the first drainage device 313 to start for a first preset time each time. For each discharge of the first drainage device 313, after the current discharge of the first drainage device 313 is completed, it is determined whether the water level in the first water storage tank 311 is lower than the second water level; if the current discharge of the first drainage device 313 makes the water level in the first water storage tank 311 not lower than the second water level, indicating that there is still condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 that needs to be discharged, then the occurrence of the first event is recorded once and the first drainage device 313 is controlled to perform the next discharge of the first preset time length; if the current discharge of the first drainage device 313 makes the water level in the first water storage tank 311 lower than the second water level, indicating that the first drainage device 312 has completed the discharge of the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311, and there is no condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 that needs to be discharged, then the first drainage device 313 will no longer be started until it is monitored that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 rises to the first water level again, and then the first drainage device 313 is controlled to discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 in turn.

[0045] S303, during the process of the first drainage device 313 discharging condensed water in the first water storage tank 311, if the number of occurrences of the first event reaches the first number threshold, it is determined that the first water storage tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313 are in a dirty and blocked state, wherein the first event is that the first drainage device 313 performs drainage for a first preset time so that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 is not lower than the second water level height, and the second water level height is lower than the first water level height. It should be noted that the "reach" in the embodiment of the present invention has the meaning of not lower than.

[0046] It should be noted that the second water level is used to logically determine the drainage status of the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 by the first drainage device 313. In the specific implementation process, the second water level can be set to the water level when the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 is almost drained. For example, the second water level can be set to less than 10% of the highest water level of the first water storage tank 311.

[0047] It should be noted that the first preset time length can be set to the time length required for the first drainage device 313 to drain water in a normal drainage state so that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 drops from a first water level height to a second water level height. The normal drainage state of the first drainage device 313 means that there is no condensation water flow attenuation in the first drainage device 313.

[0048] It is understandable that the number of occurrences of the first event starts to accumulate from zero each time the air conditioner is turned on. After each shutdown of the air conditioner, the number of occurrences of the first event recorded by the air conditioner in the current operation process needs to be cleared to prevent the number of occurrences of the first event from continuously accumulating and affecting the accuracy of detecting whether the first water storage tank 311 and the first drainage device 313 are dirty or blocked.

[0049] In some embodiments, the method for treating dirt and blockage in the condensate treatment system may further include: during the operation of the air-conditioning device, if the water level in the first water storage tank 311 rises to a third water level, controlling the air-conditioning device to shut down and / or issuing a first water-full alarm message, and the third water level is higher than the first water level. The first water-full alarm message is used to remind the user that the first water storage tank 311 has an overflow risk, so as to prevent the condensate in the first water storage tank 311 from overflowing.

[0050] It is understandable that the third water level is the full water alarm water level, and the third water level needs to be set according to the highest water level of the first water storage tank 311, and the third water level needs to be lower than the highest water level of the first water storage tank 311. For example, the third water level can be set within the range of 85% to 95% of the highest water level of the first water storage tank 311, so that the water surface of the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 will not be higher than the height of the first water storage tank 311, ensuring that the condensed water accumulated in the first water storage tank 311 does not overflow.

[0051] It should be noted that after the first water tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313 become dirty and clogged, the drainage flow of the first drainage device 313 will become smaller. If the first drainage device 313 continues to discharge the condensed water in the first water tank 311 according to the drainage method in step S302, it will lead to poor spray effect, incomplete drainage and increased power consumption of the water pump 313a and other adverse consequences. Therefore, in the case that the user cannot clean the first water storage tank 311 and the first drainage device 313 in time, in order to deal with the dirty and blocked state that has occurred in the first water storage tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313, after determining that the first water storage tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313 are in the dirty and blocked state through steps S301 to S303, the method may further include: controlling the first drainage device 313 to discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 according to the first start-stop alternating mode to alleviate the dirty and blocked degree of the first water storage tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313, wherein during the start-stop alternating process of the first drainage device 313, the duration of each start-up is less than the first preset duration. By starting and stopping the first drainage device 313 alternately and the duration of each start-up is less than the first preset duration, the time for the water pump 313a to absorb water each time is shortened, so as to prevent the water pump 313a from absorbing water for a long time and aggravating the dirty and blocked degree of the water inlet of the first drainage device 313.

[0052] In some embodiments, during the operation of the air conditioning device after determining that the first drainage device 313 and / or the first water storage tank 311 is in a dirty and blocked state, the first drainage device 313 may be controlled to always be in a state of discharging condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 according to the first start-stop alternating mode, so as to ensure the drainage efficiency in the dirty and blocked state.

[0053] In other embodiments, during the operation of the air-conditioning device after determining that the first drainage device 313 and / or the first water storage tank 311 is in a dirty and blocked state, it can also be determined whether the first drainage device 313 enters the start-stop alternating process of the first start-stop alternating mode according to the water level in the first water storage tank 311. Specifically, during the operation of the air-conditioning device after determining that the first drainage device 313 and / or the first water storage tank 311 is in a dirty and blocked state, if it is monitored that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 reaches the first water level and does not reach the third water level, the first drainage device 313 is controlled to discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 according to the first start-stop alternating mode; if the water level in the first water storage tank 311 is lower than the second water level, the first drainage device 313 is controlled to enter a continuous stop state. That is, when the first drainage device 313 and / or the first water storage tank 311 is in a dirty and blocked state, once there is condensed water in the first water storage tank 313 that needs to be discharged, the first drainage device 313 is controlled to start and stop according to the first start-stop alternating mode.

[0054] It is understandable that the first start-stop alternating mode can be to control the first drainage device 313 to start and run for a first time period and then stop for a second time period to start and stop alternately. For example, the water pump 313a of the first drainage device 313 is controlled to start and run for B minutes and then stop, and then start and run for B minutes again after stopping for C minutes, and so on. The first drainage device 313 is controlled to drain water by the first start-stop alternating mode. When the water pump 313a is turned off, the water in the first drainage device 313 can flow back to flush the debris at the water inlet of the first drainage device 313. When a filter is provided at the water inlet of the first drainage device 313, the backflow of water can flush away the debris on the filter, so as to alleviate the degree of dirt and blockage of the first drainage device 313.

[0055] It should be noted that, during the process of the first drainage device 313 discharging the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 according to the first start-stop alternating mode, if it is monitored that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 drops to below the second water level, indicating that the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 has been discharged through the start-stop alternating mode of the first drainage device 313, the first drainage device 313 is controlled to change to a continuous stop state. However, after the first drainage device 313 enters the continuous stop state, as the indoor heat exchanger 110 continues to generate condensed water or the condensed water transferred from the outdoor heat exchanger 120, the water level in the first water storage tank 311 will rise again. Therefore, after the first drainage device 313 enters the continuous stop state, if it is monitored that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 rises from below the second water level to the first water level, that is, reaches the first water level and does not reach the third water level, the first drainage device 313 is restarted, and the first drainage device 313 is controlled to discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 according to the first start-stop alternating mode after restarting.

[0056] In some embodiments, in the process of controlling the first drainage device 313 to discharge the condensed water in the first water tank 311 according to the first start-stop alternating mode, for each start-stop or each start-stop cycle of the first drainage device 313, if the water level in the first water tank 311 is not lower than the first water level height after the current start-stop or the current start-stop cycle of the first drainage device 313, the occurrence of the second event is recorded once; if the number of occurrences of the second event reaches the second numerical threshold, indicating that the discharge of the condensed water in the first water tank 311 through the first start-stop alternating mode can no longer make the water level in the first water tank 311 continue to drop, the air-conditioning equipment is controlled to shut down to avoid overflow of the condensed water in the first water tank 311, thereby improving the operation reliability of the condensed water treatment system 300.

[0057] It should be noted that a start-stop cycle may include multiple starts and stops, for example, every two starts and stops, it is determined whether the water level in the first water storage tank 311 is not lower than the first water level. It should be noted that the number of occurrences of the second event also starts from zero after each start of the air conditioning device.

[0058] In some embodiments, after determining that the first water storage tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313 are in a dirty and blocked state, the method may further include: outputting a first prompt message for prompting the user to clean the first drainage device 313 and the first water storage tank 311. In the case where a filter is provided at the water inlet of the first drainage device 313, the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to clean the filter.

[0059] The condensate treatment system 300 further includes a second water storage tank 312 for collecting condensate generated by the outdoor heat exchanger 120 of the air conditioning equipment, and a second drainage device 314 for transferring the condensate in the second water storage tank 312 to the first water storage tank 311. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a flow chart of the dirty blockage treatment method of the condensate treatment system provided in the embodiment of the present invention being applied to the outdoor side. The dirty blockage treatment method of the condensate treatment system provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps S401 to S403.

[0060] S401: When the air conditioning equipment is in heating mode, monitor the water level in the second water storage tank 312.

[0061] If an instruction to make the air-conditioning equipment enter the heating mode is obtained, the second water level detection device 316 arranged in the second water tank 312 is triggered to start detecting the water level in the second water tank 312 and provide it to the air-conditioning control system 200, so that the air-conditioning control system 200 can monitor the water level in the second water tank 312 during the heating operation and defrosting operation of the air-conditioning equipment. The second drainage device 314 does not need to be turned on at this time.

[0062] S402: If it is monitored that the water level in the second water storage tank 312 rises to a fourth water level, the second drainage device 314 is turned on to transfer the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312.

[0063] In some embodiments, the water level in the second water tank 312 can be detected in real time at a preset frequency to determine whether the water level in the second water tank 312 detected each time is lower than the fourth water level. If the water level in the second water tank 312 detected last time is not lower than the fourth water level, it is determined that the water level in the second water tank 312 has risen to the fourth water level.

[0064] It should be noted that the fourth water level is the drainage level of the second water tank 312, indicating that the amount of condensed water accumulated in the second water tank 312 has reached the standard for discharge. The fourth water level needs to be set according to the highest water level of the second water tank 312, and the fourth water level is lower than the highest water level of the second water tank 312. For example, the fourth water level can be set within the range of 50% to 80% of the highest water level of the second water tank 312, so that the water level of the condensed water in the second water tank 312 will not be higher than the height of the second water tank 312, ensuring that the condensed water accumulated in the second water tank 312 does not overflow.

[0065] In some embodiments, in step S402, the step of starting the second drainage device 314 to discharge the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 may include: controlling the second drainage device 314 to continuously discharge the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312, wherein the water pump 313a of the second drainage device 314 may be controlled to be in a continuously started state so that the second drainage device 314 continuously discharges the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312. During the process of the second drainage device 314 continuously discharging the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312, it is determined whether the water level in the second water storage tank 312 is lower than the second water level height once every second preset time interval. For each judgment, if it is determined that the water level in the second water tank 312 is lower than the second water level height, it indicates that the second drainage device 314 has completed the discharge of the condensed water in the second water tank 312, that is, there is no condensed water that needs to be discharged in the second water tank 312, then the second drainage device 314 is controlled to stop until it is monitored that the water level in the second water tank 312 rises to the fourth water level again, and then the second drainage device 314 is started to continuously discharge the condensed water in the second water tank 312; if it is determined that the water level in the second water tank 312 is not lower than the second water level height, it indicates that there is still condensed water that needs to be discharged in the second water tank 312, and only the occurrence of the third event is recorded once, but no action is performed on the second drainage device 314.

[0066] In other embodiments, in step S302, the step of starting the second drainage device 314 to drain the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 may include: controlling the second drainage device 314 to drain the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 in turn, wherein the second drainage device 314 drains the condensed water for a second preset time each time. The second drainage device 314 may drain the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 in turn by controlling the water pump 314a of the second drainage device 314 to start for a second preset time each time. For each discharge of the second drainage device 314, after the current discharge of the second drainage device 314 is completed, it is determined whether the water level in the second water storage tank 312 is lower than the fifth water level; if the current discharge of the second drainage device 314 makes the water level in the second water storage tank 312 not lower than the fifth water level, indicating that there is still condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 that needs to be discharged, then the occurrence of the third event is recorded once and the second drainage device 314 is controlled to perform the next discharge of the second preset time length; if the current discharge of the second drainage device 314 makes the water level in the second water storage tank 312 drop to below the fifth water level, indicating that the second drainage device 314 has completed the discharge of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312, that is, there is no condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 that needs to be discharged, then the second drainage device 314 will no longer be started until it is monitored that the water level in the second water storage tank 312 rises to the fourth water level again, and then the second drainage device 314 is controlled to discharge the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 in sequence.

[0067] S403: During the process of the second drainage device 314 transferring the condensed water in the second water tank 312, if the occurrence frequency of the third event reaches the third number threshold, it is determined that the second water tank 312 and / or the second drainage device 314 are in a dirty and blocked state, wherein the third event is that the second drainage device 314 runs for a second preset time so that the water level in the second water tank 312 is not lower than the fifth water level height, and the fifth water level height is lower than the fourth water level height.

[0068] It should be noted that the fifth water level is used to logically determine the transfer status of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 by the second drainage device 314. In the specific implementation process, the fifth water level can be set to the water level when the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 is close to being transferred. For example, the fifth water level can be set to be less than 10% of the highest water level of the second water storage tank 312.

[0069] It should be noted that the second preset time length can be set to the time length required for the second drainage device 314 to drain water under normal drainage state so that the water level in the second water storage tank 312 drops from the fourth water level height to the fifth water level height. The normal drainage state of the second drainage device 314 means that there is no condensation water flow attenuation in the second drainage device 314.

[0070] It is understandable that the number of occurrences of the third event starts to accumulate from zero each time the air conditioner is turned on. After the air conditioner is turned off each time, the number of occurrences of the third event recorded by the air conditioner in the current operation process needs to be cleared to prevent the number of occurrences of the third event from being accumulated continuously and affecting the accuracy of detecting whether the second water storage tank 312 and the second drainage device 314 are dirty or blocked.

[0071] In some embodiments, the method for treating dirt and blockage in the condensate treatment system may further include: during the operation of the air-conditioning device, if the water level in the second water storage tank 312 rises to a sixth water level, controlling the air-conditioning device to shut down and / or issuing a second water-full alarm message, and the sixth water level is higher than the fourth water level. The second water-full alarm message is used to remind the user that the second water storage tank 312 has an overflow risk, so as to prevent the condensate in the second water storage tank 312 from overflowing.

[0072] It can be understood that the sixth water level is the water full alarm water level of the second water storage tank 312, and the sixth water level needs to be set according to the highest water level of the second water storage tank 312, and the sixth water level needs to be lower than the highest water level of the second water storage tank 312. For example, the sixth water level can be set within the range of 85% to 95% of the highest water level of the second water storage tank 312, so that the water surface of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 will not be higher than the height of the second water storage tank 312, ensuring that the condensed water accumulated in the second water storage tank 312 does not overflow.

[0073] In some embodiments, after determining that the second water storage tank 312 and / or the second drainage device 314 are in a dirty and blocked state through steps S401 to S403, the process may further include: controlling the second drainage device 314 to transfer the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 according to the second start-stop alternating mode to alleviate the dirty and blocked degree of the second water storage tank 312 and / or the second drainage device 314, wherein during the start-stop alternating process of the second drainage device 314, the duration of each start-up is less than the second preset duration. By starting and stopping the second drainage device 314 alternately and the duration of each start-up is less than the second preset duration, the time for each water absorption of the water pump 314a is shortened, so as to prevent the water pump 314a from absorbing water for a long time and aggravating the dirty and blocked degree of the second drainage device 314.

[0074] In some embodiments, during the heating operation and defrosting operation of the air-conditioning equipment after determining that the second drainage device 314 and / or the second water storage tank 312 is in a dirty and blocked state, the second drainage device 314 can be controlled to always be in a state of discharging condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 according to the second start-stop alternating mode.

[0075] In other embodiments, during the heating operation and defrosting operation of the air-conditioning equipment after determining that the second drainage device 314 and / or the second water storage tank 312 are in a dirty and blocked state, it can also be determined whether the second drainage device 314 enters the start-stop alternating process of the second start-stop alternating mode according to the water level in the second water storage tank 312. Specifically, if it is monitored that the water level in the second water storage tank 312 rises from a state lower than the fifth water level to a fourth water level, that is, reaches the fourth water level and does not reach the sixth water level, the second drainage device 314 is controlled to discharge the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 according to the second start-stop alternating mode; during the process of the second drainage device 314 transferring the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 according to the second start-stop alternating mode, if it is monitored that the water level in the second water storage tank 312 drops to a level lower than the fifth water level, the second drainage device 314 is controlled to enter a continuous stop state. That is to say, when the second drainage device 314 and / or the second water storage tank 312 is in a dirty and blocked state, once there is condensed water in the second water storage tank 314 that needs to be discharged, the second drainage device 314 is controlled to start and stop alternately in accordance with the second start-stop alternating mode.

[0076] It is understandable that the second start-stop alternating mode can be similar to the first start-stop alternating mode, that is, the second start-stop alternating mode can be to control the second drainage device 314 to start and stop alternately in a manner of first starting for a third time length and then stopping for a fourth time length. For example, the water pump 314a of the second drainage device 314 is controlled to start and run for E minutes first and then stop, and then start and run again for E minutes after stopping for F minutes, and so on. The second drainage device 314 is controlled to drain water by the second start-stop alternating mode. When the water pump 314a is turned off, the water in the second drainage device 314 can flow back to flush the debris at the water inlet of the second drainage device 314. When a filter screen is provided at the water inlet of the second drainage device 314, the water backflow can flush away the debris on the filter screen of the second drainage device 314, so as to alleviate the degree of dirt and blockage of the second drainage device 314.

[0077] It should be noted that, in the process of the second drainage device 314 transferring the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 according to the second start-stop alternating mode, if it is monitored that the water level in the second water storage tank 312 drops to below the fifth water level height, indicating that the transfer of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 has been completed through the start-stop alternating mode of the second drainage device 314, the second drainage device 314 is controlled to change to a continuous stop state. However, after controlling the second drainage device 314 to enter a continuous stop state, as condensate continues to be produced in the outdoor heat exchanger 120, the water level in the second water tank 312 will rise again. Therefore, after determining that the second water tank 312 and / or the second drainage device 314 are in a dirty and blocked state, and after the water level in the second water tank 312 drops to below the second water level, if it is monitored that the water level in the second water tank 312 rises to a fourth water level, that is, reaches the fourth water level and does not reach the sixth water level, the second drainage device 314 is restarted, and the second drainage device 314 is controlled to discharge the condensate in the second water tank 312 according to the second start-stop alternating mode after restarting.

[0078] In some embodiments, in the process of controlling the second drainage device 314 to transfer the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 according to the second start-stop alternating mode, for each start-stop or each start-stop cycle of the second drainage device 314, if the water level in the second water storage tank 312 is not lower than the fourth water level height after the current start-stop or the current start-stop cycle of the second drainage device 314, the occurrence of a fourth event is recorded once; if the number of occurrences of the fourth event reaches the fourth number threshold, indicating that the transfer of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 312 through the second start-stop alternating mode can no longer make the water level in the second water storage tank 312 continue to drop, the air-conditioning equipment is controlled to shut down to avoid overflow of condensed water in the second water storage tank 312, thereby improving the operation reliability of the condensed water treatment system 300.

[0079] In some embodiments, after determining that the second water storage tank 312 and / or the second drainage device 314 are in a dirty and blocked state, the method may further include: outputting a second prompt message for prompting the user to clean the second drainage device 314 and the second water storage tank 312. In the case where a filter is provided at the water inlet of the second drainage device 314, the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to clean the filter of the second drainage device 314. It is understandable that the number of occurrences of the fourth event starts to accumulate from zero each time the air conditioner is turned on.

[0080] It should be noted that the detection of whether the second water storage tank 312 and the second drainage device 314 are in a dirty and blocked state can use the same or similar control logic as the detection of whether the first water storage tank 311 and the first drainage device 313 are in a dirty and blocked state, and the control logic for dealing with the dirty and blocked state of the second water storage tank 312 and the second drainage device 314 can also use the same or similar control logic as the control logic for dealing with the dirty and blocked state of the first water storage tank 311 and the first drainage device 313. Figure 5 , to detect whether the first water storage tank 311 and the first drainage device 313 are dirty or blocked and to describe the control logic for dealing with the dirty and blocked state of the first water storage tank 311 and the first drainage device 313 by way of example:

[0081] Step S1: In response to a power-on instruction for the air-conditioning equipment, the first water level detection device 315 is triggered to start real-time detection of the water level in the first water storage tank 311 at a preset frequency and provide it to the air-conditioning control system 200.

[0082] Step S2: Determine whether the current water level in the first water storage tank 311 is ≥ the third water level; if so, proceed to step S3; if not, proceed to step S4.

[0083] Step S3: Control the air conditioning equipment to shut down and issue a first water full alarm message to indicate that the first water storage tank 311 is full of water.

[0084] Step S4: Determine whether the current water level in the first water storage tank 311 is ≥ the first water level, and the first water level is lower than the third water level; if so, proceed to step S5; if not, return and wait for the next execution of step S2.

[0085] Step S5: Control the water pump 313a of the first drainage device 313 to start running for a first preset time (A minutes) so that the first drainage device 313 discharges the condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 for a first preset time, and then enters step S6.

[0086] Step S6: Determine whether the current water level in the first water storage tank 311 is ≥ the second water level; if so, proceed to step S7: record the occurrence of the first event once, and then proceed to step S8; if not, return and wait for the next execution of step S2.

[0087] Step S8: Determine whether the number of occurrences of the first event after the air-conditioning equipment is turned on reaches the first number threshold; if so, it indicates that the first water storage tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313 is in a dirty and blocked state, and proceed to steps S9 to S10; if not, return to step S5.

[0088] Step S9: prompting the user to clean the first water storage tank 311 and / or the first drainage device 313 .

[0089] Step S10: Determine whether the current water level in the first water storage tank 311 is ≥ the third water level; if so, proceed to step S3; if not, proceed to step S11.

[0090] Step S11: Determine whether the current water level in the first water storage tank 311 is ≥ the first water level; if so, proceed to step S12; if not, return to wait for the next step S10.

[0091] Step S12: Control the first drainage device 313 to start for a first time period (B minutes), and then enter step S13.

[0092] Step S13: Control the first drainage device 313 to stop for a second time period (C minutes), and then proceed to step S14.

[0093] Step S14: Determine whether the current water level in the first water storage tank 311 is ≥ the first water level; if so, proceed to step S15: record the occurrence of the second event once, and then proceed to step S16; if not, proceed to step S17.

[0094] Step S16: Determine whether the number of occurrences of the second event after the air conditioner is turned on reaches the second number threshold. If so, it indicates that the water level in the first water storage tank 311 cannot continue to drop, and go to step S3. If not, return to step S12.

[0095] Step S17: Determine whether the current water level in the first water storage tank 311 is ≥ the second water level; if so, proceed to step S12; if not, it indicates that the discharge of condensed water in the first water storage tank 311 has been completed, and return to step S10.

[0096] It should be noted that the above control logic is only an example of the condensate treatment method in the embodiment of the present invention. Other similar control logics can also be used to implement the dirt blockage treatment method of the condensate treatment system in the embodiment of the present invention, which will not be repeated here.

[0097] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning control system, wherein the condensate treatment system comprises a first water storage tank for collecting condensate generated by an indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioning equipment, and a first drainage device for discharging the condensate in the first water storage tank after gasification and / or atomization, such as Figure 6As shown, the air-conditioning control system includes: a first water level monitoring unit 601, which is used to monitor the water level in the first water tank during the operation of the air-conditioning equipment; a first opening control unit 602, which is used to open the first drainage device to discharge the condensed water in the first water tank if it is monitored that the water level in the first water tank has risen to a first water level height; a first dirty and blocked determination unit 603, which is used to determine that the first water tank and / or the first drainage device are in a dirty and blocked state if the number of occurrences of the first event reaches a first number threshold during the process of the first drainage device discharging the condensed water in the first water tank, wherein the first event is that the first drainage device discharges for a first preset time so that the water level in the first water tank is not lower than a second water level height, and the second water level height is lower than the first water level height.

[0100] In some embodiments, the air-conditioning control system may further include: a first state switching unit, for controlling the first drainage device to enter a continuous stop state if it is monitored that the water level in the first water tank drops to below a second water level during the process of the first drainage device discharging the condensed water in the first water tank according to the first start-stop alternating mode; a second state switching unit, for restarting the first drainage device if it is monitored that the water level in the first water tank rises to the first water level, and controlling the first drainage device to discharge the condensed water in the first water tank according to the first start-stop alternating mode after restarting.

[0101] In some embodiments, the air-conditioning control system may further include: a shutdown control unit, which is used to: during the process of the first drainage device starting and stopping alternately to discharge the condensed water in the first water storage tank, for each start and stop of the first drainage device, if the current start and stop of the first drainage device makes the water level in the first water storage tank not lower than the first water level height, record the occurrence of a second event; if the number of occurrences of the second event reaches a second number threshold, control the air-conditioning equipment to shut down.

[0102] In some embodiments, the condensate treatment system also includes a second water tank for collecting condensate generated by the outdoor heat exchanger of the air-conditioning equipment, and a second drainage device for transferring the condensate in the second water tank to the first water tank. The air-conditioning control system may also include: a second water level monitoring unit, for monitoring the water level in the second water tank during the operation of the air-conditioning equipment; a second opening control unit, for opening the second drainage device to transfer the condensate in the second water tank if it is monitored that the water level in the second water tank rises to a fourth water level; a second dirty blockage determination unit, for determining that the second water tank and / or the second drainage device are in a dirty blockage state if the number of occurrences of a third event reaches a third number threshold during the process in which the second drainage device transfers the condensate in the second water tank, wherein the third event is that the second drainage device runs for a second preset time period so that the water level in the second water tank is not lower than the fifth water level, and the fifth water level is lower than the fourth water level.

[0107] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention further provides an air-conditioning device, wherein the condensate treatment system thereof comprises a first water storage tank for collecting condensate generated by an indoor heat exchanger of the air-conditioning device, and a first drainage device for discharging the condensate in the first water storage tank after gasification and / or atomization.
