Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to a drainage control method, device, equipment and storage medium for an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] When the ducted air conditioner is running in cooling or dehumidification mode, condensed water will be generated on the surface of the evaporator. The condensed water will fall along the evaporator and collect in the water receiving tray below the evaporator. Therefore, the condensed water in the water receiving tray needs to be discharged in time to inhibit the growth of bacteria and pollute the air. In the related art, a water level sensor is set in the water receiving tray. When the water level is detected to be too high, the alarm system is triggered to remind the user to deal with the condensed water in time.

[0003] However, if a dirty blockage signal is issued when the water level is detected to be high, there is a risk of misjudgment, which will affect the user experience. For example, when the air conditioner is running, the condensed water dripping from the evaporator to the water tray may be affected by the airflow or itself, causing the water level to fluctuate. If the water level abnormality is directly reported at this time, a misjudgment will occur, causing the air conditioner to shut down by mistake. Summary of the invention

[0008] Determining the drainage time of the drainage device based on the judgment result of whether the air conditioner has abnormal drainage and the operation time of the air conditioner in the specified working mode;

[0009] The air conditioner is controlled based on the judgment result and the drainage time.

[0010] In a second aspect, the present application provides a drainage control device for an air conditioner, comprising:

[0015] In a third aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, comprising: a processor; and a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to execute instructions to implement a drainage control method for an air conditioner.

[0016] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, which, when instructions in the computer-readable storage medium are executed by a processor of an electronic device, enables the electronic device to execute a drainage control method for an air conditioner.

[0017] In a fifth aspect, the present application provides a computer program product, including a computer program, wherein the computer program is executed by a processor to implement a drainage control method for an air conditioner.

[0018] The drainage control method, device, equipment and storage medium of the air conditioner provided in the present application first monitor the water level of the water storage tank at different times if the air conditioner is running in a specified working mode, then judge whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormality based on the water level of the water storage tank at different times, then determine the drainage time of the drainage device based on the judgment result of whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormality and the running time of the air conditioner in the specified working mode, and finally control the air conditioner based on the judgment result and the drainage time. Therefore, since the water level at multiple times in a continuous time period is monitored to judge whether the drainage is abnormal, the accuracy and reliability of such judgment are relatively high, which can avoid the air conditioner being unable to operate due to misjudgment of the water level, accurately judge whether the machine has poor drainage, and avoid the situation of condensed water overflowing and causing leakage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be construed as limiting the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0029] It should be noted that the executor of the air-conditioning drainage control method of this embodiment may be an air-conditioning drainage control device, or may be an air-conditioning device, and the device may be implemented by software and / or hardware.

[0030] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a drainage control method for an air conditioner according to the first embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0031] S101: If the air conditioner is operated in a specified working mode, the water level of the water storage tank is monitored at different times.

[0032] The designated working mode may be a working mode in which the air conditioner needs to perform drainage treatment, such as a cooling mode or a dehumidification mode, which is not limited here.

[0033] It should be noted that if the air conditioner is operated in a specified working mode, the temperature or humidity may be reduced by cooling the air and condensing the moisture in the air into water droplets, which will be collected in the water storage tank under the evaporator.

[0034] In cooling mode, the evaporator in the air conditioner receives hot air and exchanges heat with the condenser tube inside the evaporator through the refrigerant, thereby reducing the temperature of the air. When the hot air passes through the evaporator, the moisture in the air will be condensed into water droplets on the surface of the evaporator. These water droplets will fall along the evaporator and collect in the water storage tank below the evaporator.

[0035] In dehumidification mode, the main purpose of the air conditioner is to remove humidity from the air. The evaporator lowers the air temperature, condensing the moisture in the air into water droplets. These water droplets fall along the evaporator and collect in the water reservoir below the evaporator.

[0036] The water storage device may be any device capable of holding a certain amount of water, such as a water receiving tray or a water receiving bucket, and is not limited here.

[0037] Specifically, if the air conditioner is operated in a specified working mode, the water level of the water storage tank at different times may be monitored starting from the initial moment of operation.

[0038] Optionally, the water level of the water tank may be monitored by a water level float switch, or may be a pressure water level sensor, an ultrasonic water level sensor, a capacitive water level sensor, an inductive water level sensor or any other water level monitoring device, which is not limited here.

[0039] Specifically, the water level height corresponding to each moment can be obtained through the water level monitoring device.

[0040] S102: Based on the water level of the water storage tank at different times, determine whether the air conditioner has abnormal drainage.

[0041] It should be noted that while the water storage tank is receiving water, the air conditioner will start the drainage device to drain water. The drainage device can be a drainage pump for draining condensed water. When the drainage device fails or the drainage hole is blocked, the condensed water cannot be discharged in time after a long period of operation, and there is a risk of leakage.

[0042] As a possible implementation method, it may be first determined whether the first water level of the water storage tank is greater than a water level threshold.

[0043] The first water level represents the water level when the air conditioner starts operating in a specified working mode.

[0044] The first preset duration may be a duration of high water level, which is a preset reference value. It should be noted that if the duration of high water level is longer than the first preset duration, it indicates that there may be a risk of poor drainage.

[0045] As an example, the first preset duration may be 90 seconds, or may also be 89 seconds, 91 seconds, or 92 seconds, which is not limited here.

[0046] The water level threshold is used to determine whether the water level is too high. It is understandable that if the water level is greater than or equal to the water level threshold, it means that the water level is high, and if the water level is less than the water level threshold, it means that the water level is low.

[0047] Furthermore, if the first water level is greater than or equal to the water level threshold, it is determined whether the second water level of the water storage tank after the first preset time period is greater than the water level threshold. If the second water level is greater than or equal to the water level threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner has drainage abnormality; otherwise, it is determined that the air conditioner drainage is normal.

[0048] The second water level may be a water level corresponding to the water tank after the first preset time period has passed.

[0049] It should be noted that if the first water level of the water reservoir at the first moment is greater than or equal to the water level threshold, it means that the water reservoir is at a high water level at the initial moment. After the first preset time has lasted, if the second water level is still greater than or equal to the water level threshold, it means that the second water level is also a high water level. Therefore, it means that the water level continues to be at a high level during the time period corresponding to the first preset time, indicating that the air conditioner has drainage abnormalities, that is, the drainage device did not drain the water in time within the first preset time, causing the water level to be lower than the water level threshold.

[0050] It can be understood that if the second water level is lower than the water level threshold, it means that the drainage device has lowered the water level to below the water level threshold through normal drainage within the first preset time period, without causing water accumulation or leakage, and therefore the air conditioner has normal drainage.

[0051] Among them, possible causes of drainage abnormality include drainage pipe blockage, drainage pump failure, drainage valve closure, etc., which are not limited here.

[0052] Under normal circumstances, the drainage pump of the air conditioning system will drain the condensed water in the water tank in time, causing the water level to drop. If the water level drops slowly, it may mean that there is a problem with the drainage system.

[0053] S103: Determine the drainage time of the drainage device based on the judgment result of whether the air conditioner drains water abnormally and the operation time of the air conditioner in the specified working mode.

[0054] The judgment result may be abnormal drainage or normal drainage.

[0055] The drainage device may be a drainage pump of an air conditioner.

[0056] The drainage time may be the working time of the drainage device of the air conditioner after the designated working mode is turned off.

[0057] As a possible implementation method, if the judgment result is that the drainage is normal, the first drainage time associated with the operating time can be determined based on the preset mapping relationship, and then it can be determined that when the air conditioner is in the off state, the drainage time of the drainage device is the first drainage time.

[0058] Specifically, a mapping relationship table between the operating time and the first drainage time may be stored in advance to record the first drainage time corresponding to each operating time.

[0059] It should be noted that if the air conditioner drains water normally, the air conditioner needs to continue to run the drainage device for the first drainage time after shutting down, and then shut down. The first drainage time can represent the continuous operation time of the drainage pump of the air conditioner in the shutdown state.

[0060] The operation time may be the time during which the air conditioner operates in a specified operation mode. In the specified operation mode, the air conditioner may generate condensed water. It should be noted that the operation time is proportional to the first drainage time. The longer the operation time is, the longer the first drainage time is. When the air conditioner is draining normally, the drainage device needs to continue to operate for a longer time.

[0061] For example, if the air conditioner runs in cooling mode for 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours, the corresponding first drainage time can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 7 minutes, respectively. The value of the first drainage time can be determined through experimental tests based on the specific model and is not limited here.

[0062] S104: Based on the judgment result and the drainage time, the air conditioner is controlled.

[0063] It should be noted that if the air conditioner drains water normally, the air conditioner only needs to drain the condensed water in the water storage tank according to the first drainage time when the air conditioner is turned off.

[0064] Optionally, when the judgment result is that the drainage is normal and a shutdown command is received, the drainage device can be controlled to drain based on a first drainage time and then shut down.

[0065] For example, if the judgment result is that the air conditioner is draining normally and the running time is 1 hour, the corresponding first drainage time is 3 minutes. If the air conditioner receives a shutdown signal after running for 1 hour, the air conditioner can control the drainage device to continue running for 3 minutes to drain the condensed water in the water storage tank, and then shut down the drainage device.

[0066] Optionally, if the air conditioner does not receive a shutdown signal, the drainage device can be controlled to drain water normally under the specified working mode of the air conditioner.

[0067] The drainage control method, device, equipment and storage medium of the air conditioner provided in the present application first monitor the water level of the water storage tank at different times if the air conditioner is running in a specified working mode, then judge whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormality based on the water level of the water storage tank at different times, then determine the drainage time of the drainage device based on the judgment result of whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormality and the running time of the air conditioner in the specified working mode, and finally control the air conditioner based on the judgment result and the drainage time. Therefore, since the water level at multiple times in a continuous time period is monitored to judge whether the drainage is abnormal, the accuracy and reliability of such judgment are relatively high, which can avoid the air conditioner being unable to operate due to misjudgment of the water level, accurately judge whether the machine has poor drainage, and avoid the situation of condensed water overflowing and causing leakage.

[0068] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a drainage control method for an air conditioner according to the second embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0069] S201: If the air conditioner is running in a specified working mode, monitor the water level of the water storage tank at different times.

[0070] S202: Determine whether a first water level of the water storage tank is greater than a water level threshold, wherein the first water level represents a water level when the air conditioner is started and operated in a specified working mode.

[0071] It should be noted that the specific implementation of steps S201 and S202 can refer to the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0072] S203: If the first water level is less than the water level threshold, determine the first time when the water level of the water reservoir reaches the water level threshold.

[0073] The first time may be the time when the water level of the water reservoir reaches the water level threshold.

[0074] For example, if the water level reaches the water level threshold of 6 cm at time T1, time T1 can be used as the first time.

[0075] S204: Determine that the water storage tank reaches a third water level corresponding to a second preset time period after the first time.

[0076] The second preset duration is used to characterize the duration of the high water level after the water level changes from a low water level to a high water level. It should be noted that if the high water level lasts too long after the low water level in the water reservoir changes to a high water level, it indicates that there may be a problem of poor drainage.

[0077] For example, if the first time is 3 minutes and the second preset time is 30 seconds, the water level of the water storage tank at 3 minutes and 30 seconds can be used as the third water level.

[0078] The second preset duration is greater than or equal to the first preset duration.

[0079] S205: Determine whether the third water level is less than the water level threshold.

[0080] S206: If the third water level is not less than the water level threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner has drainage abnormality; otherwise, it is determined that the air conditioner has normal drainage.

[0081] For example, if the water level threshold is 7cm and the third water level is 3cm, which is less than the water level threshold of 7cm, it means that the air conditioner has no drainage abnormality. If the third water level is 9cm, which is greater than the water level threshold, it means that the air conditioner has drainage abnormality, which is not limited here.

[0082] It can be understood that if the third water level is not less than the water level threshold, it means that after the water level reached the high water level at the first time, the drainage device has not lowered the water level to the low water level after the second preset time period, so water accumulation problem occurs and there is a risk of leakage. At this time, it indicates that the drainage is not smooth and drainage abnormality occurs.

[0083] If the third water level is less than the water level threshold, it means that after the second preset time period, the drainage device has lowered the water level to a low water level, and there is no risk of water leakage. At this time, the drainage is normal.

[0084] S207: If the judgment result is that the drainage is abnormal, a first drainage time and a second drainage time associated with the operating time are determined based on a preset mapping relationship.

[0085] It should be noted that different operating times correspond to different first drainage times and second drainage times.

[0086] For example, if the time of the air conditioner in this operation process is X1, that is, the operation time is X1, the preset mapping relationship table can be queried to determine the first drainage time X2 and the second drainage time X3 corresponding to X1. For example, if X1 is 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours, then X1 can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, 9 minutes, and X2 can be 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, and there is no limitation here.

[0087] Among them, if the running time is greater than N hours but less than N+1 hours, it can be processed as N+1 hours, where N is an integer.

[0088] The second drainage time represents the extended drainage time of the drainage device when the air conditioner has drainage abnormality. The second drainage time may be shorter than the first drainage time.

[0089] It is understandable that the air conditioner needs to be shut down in time when drainage abnormalities occur, and the drainage device needs to be controlled to drain water. When the air conditioner is shut down normally, the drainage device usually needs the first drainage time to drain water.

[0090] In the case of abnormal drainage, it may take more time to drain due to other problems such as excessive accumulation of condensed water, poor drainage of the drainage device, or blockage of the drain hole.

[0091] Therefore, the present disclosure sets a second drainage time as the drainage extension time when the air conditioner has drainage abnormality, so that the drainage device can drain water based on more drainage time when the drainage is abnormal.

[0092] S208: The sum of the first drainage time and the second drainage time is taken as the third drainage time.

[0093] For example, if the first drainage time is T1 and the second drainage time is T2, then the third drainage time T3 = T1 + T2, which is not limited here.

[0094] S209: Determine that the drainage time of the drainage device is the third drainage time.

[0095] S210: When the result of the judgment is that the drainage is abnormal, the air conditioner is controlled to shut down due to a fault or the designated working mode of the air conditioner is turned off.

[0096] It should be noted that abnormal drainage may affect some functions of the air conditioner or cause other malfunctions. Further damage or danger can be avoided by turning off the specified working mode (cooling mode or dehumidification mode).

[0097] Optionally, when abnormal drainage is detected, the air conditioning system can send out an early warning signal or alarm to remind the user or relevant maintenance personnel to check or handle it. The early warning method can be implemented by sound, text message or visual signal to attract attention and take action in time.

[0098] Furthermore, when the result of the judgment is that the drainage is abnormal, the air conditioner can also be shut down to avoid further damage to the air conditioner.

[0099] S211: Control the drainage device to drain water based on the third drainage time.

[0100] It can be understood that by controlling the drainage device to drain the accumulated water according to the third drainage time, the risk of water leakage can be avoided.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, first, if the air conditioner is running in a specified working mode, the water level of the water storage tank at different times is monitored, and then it is determined whether the first water level of the water storage tank is greater than the water level threshold, wherein the first water level represents the water level when the air conditioner is started and running in the specified working mode. If the first water level is less than the water level threshold, the first time when the water level of the water storage tank reaches the water level threshold is determined, and the third water level corresponding to the second preset time length after the first time is determined, and it is determined whether the third water level is less than the water level threshold. If the third water level is not less than the water level threshold, it is determined that the air conditioner has drainage abnormality, otherwise it is determined that the air conditioner is drained normally. If the judgment result is drainage abnormality, based on the preset mapping relationship, the first drainage time and the second drainage time associated with the running time are determined, and the sum of the first drainage time and the second drainage time is used as the third drainage time, and finally the drainage time of the drainage device is determined to be the third drainage time, and then, if the judgment result is drainage abnormality, the air conditioner is controlled to stop due to a fault or close the specified working mode of the air conditioner, and finally the drainage device is controlled to drain water based on the third drainage time. Therefore, further faults can be prevented by closing the specified working mode and prohibiting the operation of the air conditioner. At the same time, it can remind users or maintenance personnel to check and deal with it, so as to solve the drainage problem in time. This helps to prevent the accumulation of water caused by drainage pipe blockage, pump failure, etc., and reduce equipment damage or downtime. By controlling the drainage device to drain water, the normal working state of the air conditioning equipment can be effectively maintained and energy utilization efficiency can be improved. By limiting the operation of the air conditioner under abnormal drainage conditions, the possibility of further damage can be reduced, and the need for repairs and maintenance costs can be reduced.

[0102] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a drainage control method for an air conditioner according to the third embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0103] S301: If the air conditioner is running in a specified working mode, monitor the water level of the water storage tank at different times.

[0104] S302: Based on the water level of the water storage tank at different times, determine whether the air conditioner has abnormal drainage.

[0105] S303: Determine the drainage time of the drainage device based on the judgment result of whether the air conditioner drains water abnormally and the operation time of the air conditioner in the specified working mode.

[0106] S304: Control the air conditioner based on the judgment result and the drainage time.

[0107] It should be noted that the specific implementation of steps S301 - S304 may refer to the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0108] S305: In response to the number of drainage anomalies of the air conditioner reaching a preset threshold, prohibiting the air conditioner from operating in a specified working mode.

[0109] The preset threshold may be a fault count threshold, which may be specifically set based on actual experience and is not limited here.

[0110] Specifically, if the number of drainage anomalies has reached a certain preset threshold, it may indicate that the drainage system has a major fault or needs to be replaced or repaired. In order to protect the air conditioning equipment and prevent further damage, the air conditioning can be prohibited from operating in a specified working mode until the fault is repaired.

[0111] In the disclosed embodiment, first, if the air conditioner is running in a specified working mode, the water level of the water reservoir at different times is monitored, and then based on the water level of the water reservoir at different times, it is determined whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormalities, and then based on the judgment result of whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormalities and the running time of the air conditioner in the specified working mode, the drainage time of the drainage device is determined, and based on the judgment result and the drainage time, the air conditioner is controlled, and finally, in response to the number of drainage abnormalities in the air conditioner reaching a preset threshold, the air conditioner is prohibited from running in the specified working mode. Therefore, by monitoring the water level of the water reservoir and judging whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormalities, potential problems can be discovered in time, and other damage or safety risks caused by drainage system failure can be avoided. By setting a threshold according to the number of drainage abnormalities and prohibiting the operation of the specified working mode, serious failures can be prevented in advance and the maintenance cycle and frequency can be reduced.

[0112] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the abnormal drainage judgment process of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0113] like Figure 4As shown in the figure, if the air conditioner is turned on in cooling mode or dehumidification mode, the initial water level can be monitored first to determine whether the initial water level is low or high. If the initial water level is low and the air conditioner is running normally, the drain pump needs to be turned off after the air conditioner is turned off. If the initial water level is low and then becomes high, it is necessary to monitor whether it is high in T 高水位持续时间1 If the water level is high, the drainage is not smooth and the air conditioner needs to be shut down. At this time, the drainage pump needs to be shut down for a while. 高水位持续时间2 If the water level inside is maintained at a high level, it means that the drainage is not smooth and the air conditioner needs to be shut down. At this time, the drainage pump needs to be shut down with a delay.

[0126] Determining whether the third water level is less than the water level threshold;

[0142] The drainage control method, device, equipment and storage medium of the air conditioner provided in the present application first monitor the water level of the water storage tank at different times if the air conditioner is running in a specified working mode, then judge whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormality based on the water level of the water storage tank at different times, then determine the drainage time of the drainage device based on the judgment result of whether the air conditioner has drainage abnormality and the running time of the air conditioner in the specified working mode, and finally control the air conditioner based on the judgment result and the drainage time. Therefore, since the water level at multiple times in a continuous time period is monitored to judge whether the drainage is abnormal, the accuracy and reliability of such judgment are relatively high, which can avoid the air conditioner being unable to operate due to misjudgment of the water level, accurately judge whether the machine has poor drainage, and avoid the situation of condensed water overflowing and causing leakage.
