Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application titled "Constant-Speed Air Conditioner and Its Control Method and Control Device", with the application number 202311543824.9 and filed on November 17, 2023. The content thereof should be incorporated into this application by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to, but is not limited to, the field of air conditioning technology, and specifically refers to a constant-speed air conditioner and its control method and control device. Background Art

[0003] A constant-speed air conditioner refers to an air conditioner in which the rotational speed of the internal compressor motor remains constant, and the temperature is adjusted by turning the compressor on and off. Currently, in the control of the cooling capacity output of a constant-speed air conditioner, there are only two states: on and off. When the room heat load is small, frequent start-stop operations will reduce the comfort of users, affect the use experience, and also result in poor economy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a constant-speed air conditioner and its control method and control device, which can avoid frequent start-stop of the compressor, thereby improving the comfort of users, enhancing the user experience, and having good economy.

[0005] To this end, an embodiment of this application provides a control method for a constant-speed air conditioner. The compressor of the constant-speed air conditioner is a variable-capacity compressor, and the variable-capacity compressor can operate at full load or partial load. The control method includes:

[0006] Obtain energy demand parameters, where the energy demand parameters at least include the indoor temperature;

[0007] Control the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the energy demand parameters.

[0008] In the embodiment of this application, a variable-capacity compressor is introduced into the constant-speed air conditioner. The variable-capacity compressor can switch between the full-load operating state and the partial-load operating state according to the energy demand parameters. In this way, when the room heat load is large, the variable-capacity compressor can be controlled to operate at full load. When the room heat load is small, the variable-capacity compressor can be controlled to switch to partial-load operation, reducing the frequency of reaching the set target temperature range of the indoor temperature. Thus, frequent start-stop of the compressor can be avoided, which is beneficial to improving the comfort of users and enhancing the user experience.

[0009] An embodiment of this application also provides a control device, including a processor and a memory storing a computer program. When the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the control method as described in any of the above embodiments are implemented.

[0019] In the Figure 1 drawings, the list of components represented by each reference numeral is as follows:

[0020] 1 Compressor, 2 Condenser, 3 Throttling device, 4 Evaporator, 5 Indoor temperature sensor, 6 Outdoor temperature sensor. Detailed Embodiments

[0021] The principles and features of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0022] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a constant-speed air conditioner. As Figure 1 shown, the constant-speed air conditioner may include a compressor 1 ( Figure 1 the component marked COMP.A in Figure 1 ), a condenser 2 ( Figure 1 the component marked Condenser in ), a throttling device 3 (such as an electronic expansion valve,Figure 1 the component marked with EEV A), the evaporator 4( Figure 1 the component marked with Evaporator). The fixed-speed air conditioner may further include an indoor temperature sensor 5 for detecting the indoor temperature (denoted as Tin)( Figure 1 the component marked with Tin) and an outdoor temperature sensor 6 for detecting the outdoor temperature (Tout)( Figure 1 the component marked with Tout).

[0023] The compressor is a variable-capacity compressor, and the variable-capacity compressor can operate at full load or partial load. In other words, the variable-capacity compressor can change its operating state by changing its capacity. When the capacity is large, it operates at full load, and when the capacity is small, it operates at partial load. However, the motor speed of the variable-capacity compressor can remain unchanged.

[0024] As Figure 2 shown, the control method includes:

[0025] Step S202: Obtain the energy demand parameters, and the energy demand parameters at least include the indoor temperature;

[0026] Step S204: Control the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the energy demand parameters.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, a variable-capacity compressor is introduced into the fixed-speed air conditioner, and the variable-capacity compressor can switch between the full-load operating state and the partial-load operating state according to the energy demand parameters. In this way, when the room heat load is large, the variable-capacity compressor can be controlled to operate at full load. When the room heat load is small, the variable-capacity compressor can be controlled to switch to partial load operation, reducing the frequency of the indoor temperature reaching the set target temperature range. Thereby, the frequent start and stop of the compressor can be avoided, which is beneficial to improving the comfort of users and the user experience.

[0028] Among them, the specific type of the fixed-speed air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application is not limited. For example, it can be a central air conditioner or a split air conditioner. The fixed-speed air conditioner can be equipped with a wired controller, and the user can set the target temperature through the wired controller. The wired controller can be provided with an indoor temperature sensor for detecting the indoor environmental temperature. The unit can be provided with an outdoor temperature sensor for detecting the outdoor temperature. Of course, the unit can also obtain the outdoor temperature by connecting to the network.

[0029] The communication can be carried out between the remote controller and the control device of the unit (i.e., the main part of the constant-speed air conditioner, which is used to realize the refrigeration / heating function and includes structures such as a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser, a throttling device, and a control device (main control board)), so that the control device can obtain the target temperature set by the user and can also obtain the indoor temperature through the indoor temperature sensor of the remote controller. Or, there may be no communication between the remote controller and the control device of the unit, so that the control device cannot obtain the target temperature set by the user and cannot obtain the indoor temperature detected by the temperature sensor of the remote controller. In this case, the unit can be provided with an indoor temperature sensor for detecting the indoor temperature, and the indoor temperature sensor can be arranged at the return air outlet of the unit for detecting the indoor return air temperature.

[0030] Alternatively, the constant-speed air conditioner can also be equipped with a remote control. The user can set the target temperature through the remote control or can also set the target temperature through a control terminal (APP) such as a mobile phone or the operation panel of the constant-speed air conditioner, so that the control device of the unit can obtain the target temperature set by the user. And the unit can be provided with an indoor temperature sensor for detecting the indoor temperature, and the indoor temperature sensor can be arranged at the return air outlet of the unit for detecting the indoor return air temperature. In this way, the control device of the unit can obtain the indoor temperature and the target temperature set by the user.

[0031] According to whether the control device of the unit can obtain the target temperature set by the user, different control logics can be adopted.

[0032] When the control device of the unit cannot obtain the target temperature set by the user, if the variable-capacity compressor is controlled only based on the indoor temperature, it may not conform to the actual energy demand, which is not conducive to improving the energy efficiency and economy of the constant-speed air conditioner.

[0033] When the control device of the unit can obtain the target temperature set by the user and can also obtain the indoor temperature, controlling the variable-capacity compressor according to the indoor temperature and the set target temperature can conform to the actual energy demand, which is conducive to ensuring the energy efficiency and economy of the constant-speed air conditioner.

[0034] The situation where the control device of the unit cannot obtain the target temperature set by the user will be introduced first below.

[0035] In some exemplary embodiments, the energy demand parameters further include the outdoor temperature, the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency of the variable-capacity compressor, and the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable-capacity compressor.

[0036] The control method further includes: controlling the start and stop of the variable-capacity compressor according to the signal of the control terminal. The control terminal can be, but is not limited to, a remote controller.

[0037] Controlling the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the energy demand parameters includes:

[0038] Control the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, temperature-reached shutdown frequency of the variable-capacity compressor, and continuous non-shutdown operation duration of the variable-capacity compressor.

[0039] The control method provided in this embodiment can obtain energy demand parameters and control the start / stop and operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the energy demand parameters. The energy demand parameters include not only the indoor temperature, but also the outdoor temperature, temperature-reached shutdown frequency of the variable-capacity compressor, and continuous non-shutdown operation duration. Through these parameters, the actual energy demand can be determined more accurately, so that the control logic of the variable-capacity compressor can be optimized, making the operation output of the variable-capacity compressor more matched with the actual energy demand of the room, which is conducive to improving the energy efficiency of the fixed-speed air conditioner and the economy of the fixed-speed air conditioner.

[0040] In some exemplary embodiments, controlling the start / stop of the variable-capacity compressor according to the signal of the control terminal includes:

[0041] Based on receiving the start signal sent by the control terminal, control the variable-capacity compressor to start and operate at full load;

[0042] Based on the operation terminal stopping sending the start signal, control the variable-capacity compressor to stop (i.e., shutdown due to reaching temperature).

[0043] The operation terminal can be a wired controller. The user sets the target temperature (i.e., sets the target temperature) on the operation terminal. The control terminal is equipped with an indoor temperature sensor for detecting the indoor temperature. Therefore, the control terminal can send a start signal (i.e., cooling signal / heating signal) or not send a start signal to the control device of the unit according to the comparison result between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature. However, the control device of the fixed-speed air conditioner cannot obtain the target temperature set by the user and needs to control the start / stop of the variable-capacity compressor according to whether the operation terminal sends a cooling signal / heating signal.

[0044] Specifically, in the cooling mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is higher than the set target temperature, the wired controller outputs a cooling signal, and the control device starts the variable-capacity compressor to operate for cooling; when the indoor environment reaches the set target temperature, the wired controller stops outputting the cooling signal, and the control device shuts down the variable-capacity compressor. In the heating mode, when the indoor ambient temperature is lower than the set target temperature, the wired controller outputs a heating signal, and the control device starts the variable-capacity compressor to operate for heating; when the indoor environment reaches the set target temperature, the wired controller stops outputting the heating signal, and the control device shuts down the variable-capacity compressor.

[0045] In some exemplary embodiments, the control method further includes:

[0046] Record the number of temperature - reached shutdowns of the variable - capacity compressor. The number of temperature - reached shutdowns is used to determine the temperature - reached shutdown frequency of the variable - capacity compressor;

[0047] Based on the startup of the variable - capacity compressor, start timing. The timing is used to determine the continuous running duration without shutdown of the variable - capacity compressor. Based on the temperature - reached shutdown of the variable - capacity compressor, end the timing and clear the timer.

[0048] As the name implies, the temperature - reached shutdown frequency of the variable - capacity compressor refers to the shutdown frequency at which the variable - capacity compressor shuts down because the indoor temperature reaches the set target temperature range. It can be expressed by the number of temperature - reached shutdowns within each set reference duration, that is: the number of temperature - reached shutdowns / set reference duration. Taking the set reference duration as 1 hour (not limited to 1 hour) as an example, the temperature - reached shutdown frequency can be 2 times / h, 3 times / h, 4 times / h, etc. Therefore, after the constant - speed air conditioner is turned on, it is necessary to record the number of temperature - reached shutdowns of the variable - capacity compressor.

[0049] The continuous running duration without shutdown of the variable - capacity compressor refers to the duration during which the variable - capacity compressor continuously operates without shutting down. Within this duration range, it can be running at full load all the time, or running at partial load all the time, or running with full - load and partial - load switching (but without temperature - reached shutdown in the middle). Therefore, each time the variable - capacity compressor starts, it starts timing from zero, until the variable - capacity compressor shuts down due to reaching the temperature, then ends the timing and clears the timer, and starts timing again after the variable - capacity compressor starts again. Therefore, at any current moment, the continuous running duration without shutdown of the variable - capacity compressor is equal to the duration from the most recent startup moment before the current moment to the current moment. For example: if the variable - capacity compressor has been continuously running for 0.5 h since the last startup until the current moment, then the continuous running duration without shutdown of the variable - capacity compressor at the current moment is 0.5 h; if the variable - capacity compressor has been continuously running for 2 h since the last startup until the current moment, then the continuous running duration without shutdown of the variable - capacity compressor at the current moment is 2 h. As long as the variable - capacity compressor does not shut down due to reaching the temperature after this startup, the continuous running duration without shutdown of the variable - capacity compressor continues to increase. Once it shuts down due to reaching the temperature, the timer is cleared and starts timing again after the next startup.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, the temperature - reached shutdown frequency of the variable - capacity compressor is determined according to the following method:

[0051] Based on the fact that the startup duration of the air conditioner is less than the set reference duration, determine the number of temperature - reached shutdowns of the variable - capacity compressor from the startup of the constant - speed air conditioner to the current moment as the temperature - reached shutdown frequency of the variable - capacity compressor;

[0052] Based on the fact that the startup duration of the air conditioner is greater than or equal to the set reference duration, determine the number of temperature - reached shutdowns of the variable - capacity compressor within the set reference duration before the current moment as the temperature - reached shutdown frequency of the variable - capacity compressor.

[0053] The set reference duration can be denoted as t0. Taking t0 = 1 hour as an example:

[0054] Within the time period less than 1 hour after the air conditioner is turned on, the number of times the variable-capacity compressor reaches the temperature and stops within the time before the current moment is the temperature-reaching stop frequency at the current moment in times / h. After the air conditioner is turned on for more than 1 hour, the temperature-reaching stop frequency at the current moment is equal to the number of times the variable-capacity compressor reaches the temperature and stops within 1 hour before the current moment in times / h.

[0055] For example: When the constant-speed air conditioner is turned on for 15 min, the variable-capacity compressor reaches the temperature and stops 1 time; when it is turned on for 45 min, it reaches the temperature and stops 1 time; when it is turned on for 2 h, it reaches the temperature and stops 1 time. Then:

[0056] The temperature-reaching stop frequency at 10 min after being turned on is 0 times / h because the variable-capacity compressor has not reached the temperature and stopped within 10 min after being turned on; the temperature-reaching stop frequency at 30 min after being turned on is 1 time / h because the variable-capacity compressor has reached the temperature and stopped 1 time within 30 min after being turned on; the temperature-reaching stop frequency at 50 min after being turned on is 2 times / h because the variable-capacity compressor has reached the temperature and stopped 2 times within 50 min after being turned on; the temperature-reaching stop frequency at 1.5 h after being turned on is 1 time / h because the variable-capacity compressor has reached the temperature and stopped 1 time between half an hour and 1.5 h after being turned on; the temperature-reaching stop frequency at 2 h after being turned on is 1 time / h because the variable-capacity compressor has reached the temperature and stopped only 1 time between 1 h and 2 h after being turned on. And so on. Of course, the set reference duration is not limited to 1 hour.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, based on the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, temperature-reaching stop frequency of the variable-capacity compressor, and non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable-capacity compressor, control the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor, including:

[0058] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in the full-load operation state, determine whether the variable-capacity compressor switches to the part-load operation state according to the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and temperature-reaching stop frequency of the variable-capacity compressor;

[0059] Based on the determination that the variable-capacity compressor switches to the part-load operation state, control the variable-capacity compressor to switch to the part-load operation;

[0060] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in the part-load operation state, determine whether the variable-capacity compressor switches to the full-load operation state according to the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable-capacity compressor;

[0061] Based on the determination that the variable-capacity compressor switches to the full-load operation state, control the variable-capacity compressor to switch to the full-load operation.

[0062] The indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature can reflect the magnitude of the room's heat load to a certain extent and can provide a reference basis for the operating state of a variable-capacity compressor.

[0063] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a full-load operation state and the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency of the variable-capacity compressor is relatively high, it indicates that the operating output of the variable-capacity compressor is higher than the actual demand of the room, and it is necessary to frequently reduce the output by shutting down. Therefore, it can be used to determine whether the variable-capacity compressor switches to a part-load operation state.

[0064] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a part-load operation state and the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable-capacity compressor is relatively long, it indicates that the variable-capacity compressor has been continuously operating for a long time without reaching the set target temperature range for the indoor temperature. This shows that the operating output of the variable-capacity compressor is lower than the actual demand of the room. Therefore, it can be used to determine whether the variable-capacity compressor switches to a full-load operation state.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, determining whether the variable-capacity compressor switches to a part-load operation state based on the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature, and the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency of the variable-capacity compressor includes:

[0066] Based on the indoor temperature satisfying a first set condition and satisfying at least one of the following: the outdoor temperature satisfies a second set condition, the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency of the variable-capacity compressor satisfies a third set condition, it is determined that the variable-capacity compressor switches to a part-load operation state;

[0067] Based on the indoor temperature not satisfying the first set condition, or based on the outdoor temperature not satisfying the second set condition and the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency of the variable-capacity compressor not satisfying the third set condition, it is determined that the variable-capacity compressor continues to maintain a full-load operation state.

[0068] In other words, to determine that the variable-capacity compressor switches from full-load operation to part-load operation, two conditions need to be met: one is that the indoor temperature must satisfy the first set condition; the other is that at least one of the outdoor temperature and the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency satisfies the corresponding set condition. Requiring the indoor temperature to must satisfy the first set condition is to ensure that the indoor temperature is as much as possible within a suitable temperature range to ensure the user's comfort. Only on this basis is it allowed for the variable-capacity compressor to switch to part-load operation to improve economy. Both the outdoor temperature and the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency can be used to indicate the magnitude of the room's heat load, that is, they can also reflect the actual energy demand of the room. When at least one of the outdoor temperature and the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency satisfies the corresponding set condition, it can indicate that the operating output of the variable-capacity compressor is greater than the actual demand of the room. Therefore, the variable-capacity compressor switches to semi-load operation to reduce the temperature-reaching shutdown frequency and improve economy. Otherwise, the variable-capacity compressor continues to maintain full-load operation.

[0069] As for the order of judgment of the three parameters of indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and temperature - reaching shutdown frequency, there is no restriction. It is possible to first judge the indoor temperature, then the outdoor temperature, and then the temperature - reaching shutdown frequency, as shown in Figure 4; it is also possible to first judge the indoor temperature, then the temperature - reaching shutdown frequency, and then the outdoor temperature. In this way, if the indoor temperature is judged first, when the judgment result is negative, it can be directly determined to continue running at full load without continuing to judge the outdoor temperature and the temperature - reaching shutdown frequency, thus simplifying the process. When the result of the first judgment of the outdoor temperature and the temperature - reaching shutdown frequency is positive during the judgment process, it can also be determined to switch to partial - load operation without continuing to judge whether the third parameter meets the conditions, thus simplifying the process.

[0070] Of course, the indoor temperature can also be judged in the middle or at the end.

[0071] In some embodiments, based on the constant - speed air conditioner running in the cooling mode:

[0072] The first set condition includes: the indoor temperature is less than the first set temperature and lasts for the first set duration. The second set condition includes: the outdoor temperature is less than the second set temperature and lasts for the second set duration, and the second set temperature is greater than the first set temperature. The third set condition includes: the temperature - reaching shutdown frequency of the variable - capacity compressor is greater than or equal to the set frequency.

[0073] Based on the constant - speed air conditioner running in the heating mode:

[0074] The first set condition includes: the indoor temperature is greater than the first set temperature and lasts for the first set duration. The second set condition includes: the outdoor temperature is greater than the second set temperature and lasts for the second set duration, and the second set temperature is greater than the first set temperature. The third set condition includes: the temperature - reaching shutdown frequency of the variable - capacity compressor is greater than or equal to the set frequency.

[0075] In some examples, the first set temperature (denoted as T1) can be in the range of but not limited to 26°C to 30°C, such as 26°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, etc. The first set duration (denoted as t1) can be in the range of but not limited to 10s to 20s, such as 10s, 12s, 14s, 16s, 18s, 20s, etc.

[0076] The second set temperature (denoted as T2) can be in the range of but not limited to 28°C to 32°C, such as 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, 31°C, 32°C, etc. The second set duration (denoted as t2) can be in the range of but not limited to 10s to 20s, such as 10s, 12s, 14s, 16s, 18s, 20s, etc.

[0077] The set frequency (denoted as k times / hour) can be within the range of but not limited to 2 times / hour to 5 times / hour, such as 2 times / hour, 3 times / hour, 4 times / hour, 5 times / hour, etc.

[0078] It can be understood that, in order to simplify the electronic control program, for the parameter values (such as duration values, temperature values, frequency values) of the first set condition, the second set condition, and the third set condition, the same parameter values can be set for the cooling operation and the heating operation. Of course, different parameter values can also be set for the cooling operation and the heating operation.

[0079] In some exemplary embodiments, based on the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature, and the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable capacity compressor, determining whether the variable capacity compressor switches to the full load operation state includes:

[0080] Based on satisfying at least one of the following: the indoor temperature satisfies the fourth set condition, the outdoor temperature satisfies the fifth set condition, and the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable capacity compressor satisfies the sixth set condition, it is determined that the variable capacity compressor switches to the full load operation state;

[0081] Based on the indoor temperature not satisfying the fourth set condition, the outdoor temperature not satisfying the fifth set condition, and the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable capacity compressor not satisfying the sixth set condition, it is determined that the variable capacity compressor continues to maintain the partial load operation state.

[0082] In other words, to determine whether the variable capacity compressor switches from partial load operation to full load operation, as long as one of the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature, and the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable capacity compressor satisfies the corresponding condition. Because whether the indoor temperature satisfies the fourth set condition, the outdoor temperature satisfies the fifth set condition, or the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable capacity compressor satisfies the sixth set condition, it can indicate that the output of the variable capacity compressor is lower than the actual demand of the room. Therefore, the variable capacity compressor needs to switch to full load operation to ensure the user's comfort. Otherwise, the variable capacity compressor continues to maintain partial load operation.

[0083] As for the order of judgment of the three parameters of indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and non-stop continuous operation duration, there is no restriction. The indoor temperature can be judged first, then the outdoor temperature, and then the non-stop continuous operation duration, as shown in Figure 4. No matter which parameter is judged first, as long as the judgment result is yes, it is determined to switch to full load operation, and there is no need to judge the subsequent parameters. Otherwise, it enters the judgment of the next parameter, which can simplify the process.

[0084] Of course, the indoor temperature can also be judged in the middle or at the end.

[0085] In some embodiments, based on the cooling operation of the constant speed air conditioner:

[0086] The fourth setting condition includes: the indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the third set temperature and lasts for the third set duration. The third set temperature is greater than the first set temperature.

[0087] The fifth setting condition includes: the outdoor temperature is greater than or equal to the fourth set temperature and lasts for the fourth set duration, and the fourth set temperature is greater than the third set temperature. The fourth set temperature is greater than the second set temperature.

[0088] The sixth setting condition includes: the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable capacity compressor is greater than or equal to the fifth set duration.

[0089] Based on the heating operation of a constant-speed air conditioner:

[0090] The fourth setting condition includes: the indoor temperature is less than or equal to the third set temperature and lasts for the third set duration. The third set temperature is greater than the first set temperature.

[0091] The fifth setting condition includes: the outdoor temperature is less than or equal to the fourth set temperature and lasts for the fourth set duration, and the fourth set temperature is greater than the third set temperature. The fourth set temperature is greater than the second set temperature.

[0092] The sixth setting condition includes: the non-stop continuous operation duration of the variable capacity compressor is greater than or equal to the fifth set duration.

[0093] In some examples, the third set temperature (denoted as T3) can be in the range of but not limited to 28°C to 32°C, such as 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, 31°C, 32°C, etc. The third set duration (denoted as t3) can be in the range of but not limited to 10s to 20s, such as 10s, 12s, 14s, 16s, 18s, 20s, etc.

[0094] The fourth set temperature (denoted as T4) can be in the range of but not limited to 30°C to 34°C, such as 30°C, 31°C, 32°C, 33°C, 34°C, etc. The fourth set duration (denoted as t4) can be in the range of but not limited to 10s to 20s, such as 10s, 12s, 14s, 16s, 18s, 20s, etc.

[0095] The fifth set duration (denoted as t5) can be in the range of but not limited to 6h to 10h, such as 6h, 7h, 8h, 9h, 10h, etc.

[0096] It can be understood that, in order to simplify the electronic control program, for the parameter values (such as duration values, temperature values, frequency values) of the fourth setting condition, the fifth setting condition, and the sixth setting condition, the same parameter values can be set for the refrigeration operation and the heating operation. Of course, different parameter values can also be set for the refrigeration operation and the heating operation.

[0107] In one embodiment, as Figure 4a shown, when the constant-speed air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the control method includes the following steps:

[0108] Step S402: Control the variable-capacity compressor to operate at full load;

[0115] Step S416: Determine whether the non - shutdown continuous operation duration of the variable - capacity compressor ≥ t5; if yes, proceed to step S402, otherwise return to step S410.

[0116] As Figure 4b shown, when the fixed - speed air conditioner operates in heating mode, the control method includes the following steps:

[0117] Step S422: Control the variable - capacity compressor to operate at full - load;

[0118] Step S424: Determine whether Tin > T1 and lasts for t1; if yes, proceed to step S426, if no, return to step S422;

[0124] Step S436: Determine whether the continuous running time of the variable-capacity compressor without shutdown ≥ t5; if yes, proceed to step S422, otherwise return to step S43.

[0125] Among them, T4 > T2, T3 > T1. T4 ranges from 30°C to 34°C, T2 ranges from 28°C to 32°C, T3 ranges from 28°C to 32°C, and T1 ranges from 26°C to 30°C. j ranges from 2 to 5.

[0126] t1 ranges from 10s to 20s, t2 ranges from 10s to 20s, t3 ranges from 10s to 20s, t4 ranges from 10s to 20s, and t5 ranges from 6h to 10h.

[0127] The following describes the situation where the control device of the unit obtains the target temperature set by the user.

[0128] In some exemplary embodiments, the energy demand parameters further include the set target temperature. The control method further includes: controlling the start and stop of the variable-capacity compressor according to the indoor temperature and the set target temperature.

[0129] Controlling the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the energy demand parameters includes: controlling the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the indoor temperature and the set target temperature.

[0130] Since the control device of the unit can obtain the target temperature set by the user and can also obtain the indoor temperature, controlling the start and stop and the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the indoor temperature and the set target temperature can conform to the actual energy demand, which is beneficial to ensuring the energy efficiency and economy of the constant-speed air conditioner.

[0131] In some exemplary embodiments, controlling the start and stop and the operating state of the variable-capacity compressor according to the indoor temperature and the set target temperature includes:

[0132] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in the shutdown state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfying the seventh set condition, controlling the variable-capacity compressor to start and operate at full load;

[0133] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in the full-load operating state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfying the eighth set condition, controlling the variable-capacity compressor to switch to partial-load operation;

[0134] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in the partial-load operating state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfying the ninth set condition, controlling the variable-capacity compressor to stop;

[0135] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in the shutdown state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfying the tenth set condition, controlling the variable-capacity compressor to start and operate at partial load;

[0136] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in a part-load operation state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfying the eleventh set condition, control the variable-capacity compressor to switch to full-load operation;

[0137] Based on the variable-capacity compressor being in a full-load operation state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfying the twelfth set condition, control the variable-capacity compressor to stop.

[0138] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a stopped state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfies the seventh set condition, it indicates that the indoor temperature has deviated significantly from the user-set target temperature, which will bring greater discomfort to the user. Therefore, the variable-capacity compressor starts and operates at full load to quickly return the indoor temperature to the comfortable temperature range.

[0139] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a full-load operation state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfies the eighth set condition, it indicates that the indoor temperature has approached the user-set target temperature. Therefore, the variable-capacity compressor switches to part-load operation to reduce the start-stop frequency of the compressor.

[0140] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a part-load operation state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfies the ninth set condition, it indicates that the indoor temperature has exceeded the user-set target temperature. Therefore, the variable-capacity compressor can stop to save energy and avoid discomfort to the user caused by the indoor temperature being too low (during cooling operation) or too high (during heating operation).

[0141] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a stopped state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfies the tenth set condition, it indicates that after the compressor has stopped for a period of time, the indoor temperature has rebounded but not severely. Therefore, the variable-capacity compressor can start but operate at part load.

[0142] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a part-load operation state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfies the eleventh set condition, it indicates that the part-load operation of the variable-capacity compressor is not sufficient to make the indoor temperature approach the set target temperature but continues to move away from the set target temperature, that is, the output of the variable-capacity compressor cannot meet the actual needs of the room. Therefore, the variable-capacity compressor switches to full-load operation.

[0143] When the variable-capacity compressor is in a full-load operation state and the temperature difference value between the indoor temperature and the set target temperature satisfies the twelfth set condition, it indicates that the indoor temperature has exceeded the user-set target temperature. Therefore, the variable-capacity compressor can stop to save energy and avoid discomfort to the user caused by the indoor temperature being too low (during cooling operation) or too high (during heating operation).

[0144] In some embodiments, the indoor temperature is denoted as Tin, and the set target temperature is denoted as Ts.

[0145] Among them, based on the constant-speed air conditioner operating in the cooling mode:

[0146] The seventh setting condition includes: Tin - Ts > a1, the eighth setting condition includes: Tin - Ts ≤ b1, the ninth setting condition includes: Tin - Ts ≤ d1, the tenth setting condition includes: Tin - Ts > c1, the eleventh setting condition includes Tin - Ts > a1, the twelfth setting condition includes: Tin - Ts ≤ d1, where a1 > 0, b1 > 0, c1 > 0, d1 ≤ 0, and a1 > b1 ≥ c1 > d1;

[0147] Based on the constant-speed air conditioner operating in the heating mode:

[0148] The seventh setting condition includes: Ts - Tin > a2, the eighth setting condition includes: Ts - Tin ≤ b2, the ninth setting condition includes: Ts - Tin ≤ d2, the tenth setting condition includes: Ts - Tin > c2, the eleventh setting condition includes Ts - Tin > a2, the twelfth setting condition includes: Ts - Tin ≤ d2, where a2 > 0, b2 > 0, c2 > 0, d2 ≤ 0, and a2 > b2 ≥ c2 > d2.

[0149] It can be understood that, in order to simplify the electronic control program, for the parameter values of the seventh setting condition, the eighth setting condition, the ninth setting condition, the tenth setting condition, the eleventh setting condition, and the twelfth setting condition, the same parameter values can be set for the cooling operation and the heating operation (such as a1 = a2, b1 = b2, c1 = c2, d1 = d2). Of course, different parameter values can also be set for the cooling operation and the heating operation (such as a1 ≠ a2, or b1 ≠ b2, or c1 ≠ c2, or d1 ≠ d2).

[0150] In some examples, the value ranges of a1 and a2 can be, but are not limited to, 1.5°C to 2.5°C, such as 1.5°C, 2°C, 2.5°C, etc. The value ranges of b1 and b2 can be, but are not limited to, 0.5°C to 1.5°C, such as 0.5°C, 1°C, 1.5°C, etc. The value ranges of c1 and c2 can be, but are not limited to, 0.5°C to 1.5°C, such as 0.5°C, 1°C, 1.5°C, etc. The value ranges of d1 and d2 can be, but are not limited to, -1°C to 0°C, such as -1°C, -0.5°C, 0°C, etc. In one embodiment, as Figure 5a shown, when the constant-speed air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the control method includes the following steps:

[0151] After starting up, the variable-capacity compressor operates at full load.

[0152] When the variable-capacity compressor is operating at full load and Tin ≤ Ts + b is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor switches to partial-load operation; when Tin ≤ Ts + d is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor shuts down.

[0153] When the variable-capacity compressor is operating at partial load and Tin ≤ Ts + d is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor shuts down; when Tin > Ts + a is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor switches to full-load operation.

[0154] When the variable-capacity compressor is in the shutdown state and Tin > Ts + c is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor starts and operates at partial load; when Tin > Ts + a is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor starts and operates at full load.

[0155] As Figure 5b shown, when the constant-speed air conditioner is operating in heating mode, the control method includes the following steps:

[0156] After startup, the variable-capacity compressor operates at full load.

[0157] When the variable-capacity compressor is operating at full load and Tin ≥ Ts - b is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor switches to partial-load operation; when Tin ≥ Ts - d is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor shuts down.

[0158] When the variable-capacity compressor is operating at partial load and Tin ≥ Ts - d is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor shuts down; when Tin < Ts - a is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor switches to full-load operation.

[0159] When the variable-capacity compressor is in the shutdown state and Tin < Ts - c is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor starts and operates at partial load; when Tin < Ts - a is satisfied, the variable-capacity compressor starts and operates at full load.

[0160] Among them, the value range of a is from 1.5°C to 2.5°C. The value range of b is from 0.5°C to 1.5°C. The value range of c is from 0.5°C to 1.5°C. The value range of d is from -1°C to 0°C.
