[0030] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, further detailed description will be made to the present application in combination with the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application.
[0031] Embodiment one
[0032] The outdoor unit of the existing air conditioner usually adopts air suction heat exchange, that is, the outdoor fan rotates forward, the external air first exchanges heat through the condenser, and then exchanges heat through the outdoor unit mainboard. The temperature of the heat dissipation airflow is relatively high, which leads to poor heat dissipation effect of the outdoor unit mainboard. Especially when the air conditioner operates in high-temperature working conditions, the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit mainboard is very limited, which easily leads to the temperature of some electronic components on the outdoor unit mainboard being too high, and then leads to these electronic components operating at a temperature higher than the safe operating threshold. This not only shortens the service life of these electronic components, but also even leads to the direct burning of these electronic components. In addition, the refrigeration effect is obviously weakened due to the overheating of these electronic components in high-temperature refrigeration, and in severe cases, the air conditioner may even stop, affecting the user's experience.
[0033] Therefore, the present embodiment provides an air conditioner control method to overcome the defects or deficiencies of the prior art. It should be noted that the above problems usually occur when the air conditioner is in a refrigeration mode or a dehumidification mode, that is, the air conditioner control method described in the present embodiment is mainly applied to the refrigeration mode or the dehumidification mode of the air conditioner. Of course, in actual application, the method provided in the present embodiment can be applied to other modes of the air conditioner according to actual needs to control the air conditioner more flexibly, and the present embodiment does not make specific limitations thereto.
[0034] As shown in The air conditioner control method comprises:
[0035] Step S10, after the compressor is started and operated for a preset first time, the current outdoor environment temperature is obtained.
[0036] The compressor is started and operated for a preset first time, which means that the compressor is started and operated for a preset first time when the air conditioner receives a start instruction and enters a normal working mode (such as a refrigeration mode, a dehumidification mode, etc.). The preset first time is, for example, a min (a can be valued according to actual conditions).
[0037] The outdoor environment temperature refers to the environment temperature of the environment where the outdoor unit is located. In an optional embodiment, the current outdoor environment temperature can be obtained in real time through a sensor, and of course, the current outdoor environment temperature can also be obtained at regular intervals through a sensor, such as once every 10s (other values can also be set according to actual conditions).
[0038] Step S20, if the current outdoor environment temperature is greater than or equal to the preset first outdoor environment temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to continue running, and after running for a preset second time, the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is obtained.
[0039] The preset first outdoor environment temperature threshold is, for example, 40°C or 50°C (other values can also be set according to actual conditions).
[0040] In an optional embodiment, the temperature of different heat-generating components on the outdoor unit mainboard can be collected by a sensor and averaged to obtain the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature of the air conditioner. Of course, the temperature of the heat-generating component with the largest heat generation on the outdoor unit mainboard can also be collected by a sensor to obtain the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature of the air conditioner. The current outdoor unit mainboard temperature can be obtained in real time or at regular intervals.
[0041] Step S30, if the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is greater than or equal to a preset first outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to execute a first cooling strategy, and the first cooling strategy includes controlling the outdoor fan to run in reverse rotation at a preset first rotation speed, the compressor to run at a preset first frequency, the indoor fan to run at a preset second rotation speed, and the expansion valve to run with a preset first opening degree.
[0042] The preset first outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold can be set according to actual conditions. The preset first frequency is less than the compressor frequency set in the normal mode of the air conditioner, the preset second rotation speed is less than the indoor fan rotation speed set in the normal mode of the air conditioner, and the preset first opening degree is greater than the expansion valve opening degree set in the normal mode of the air conditioner. It should be noted that the preset first frequency, the preset first rotation speed, the preset second rotation speed, and the preset first opening degree are set according to actual conditions. The expansion valve is an electronic expansion valve, which is a prior art and will not be described here.
[0043] Step S40, until the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is less than a preset second outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to execute a second cooling strategy, and the second cooling strategy includes controlling the outdoor fan to run in forward rotation at a preset third rotation speed, the compressor to run at a preset second frequency, the indoor fan to run at the indoor fan rotation speed set in the normal mode of the air conditioner, and the expansion valve to run with a preset second opening degree.
[0044] The preset second outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold is less than the preset first outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, and can be set according to actual conditions. The preset second frequency is greater than the preset first frequency and less than the compressor frequency set in the normal mode of the air conditioner; the preset second opening degree is less than the preset first opening degree and greater than the expansion valve opening degree set in the normal mode of the air conditioner, and the preset third rotating speed is greater than the outdoor fan rotating speed set in the normal mode of the air conditioner. It should be noted that the preset second frequency, the preset third rotating speed and the preset second opening degree are set according to actual conditions.
[0045] In one embodiment, the method further comprises the step S50: if the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is greater than or equal to a preset third outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold after the first cooling strategy is executed, the air conditioner is controlled to execute a third cooling strategy, and the third cooling strategy comprises controlling the outdoor fan to continue to operate in reverse at a preset fourth rotating speed, controlling the compressor to operate at a preset third frequency, controlling the indoor fan to operate at a preset fifth rotating speed, and adjusting the expansion valve opening degree to a preset third opening degree.
[0046] The preset third outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold is greater than the preset first outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, and can be set according to actual conditions. The preset third outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold is greater than the preset first outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, the preset fourth rotating speed is greater than the preset first rotating speed, the preset third frequency is less than the preset first frequency, the preset third opening degree is greater than the preset first opening degree, and the preset fifth rotating speed is less than the preset second rotating speed. It should be noted that the preset third frequency is the lowest frequency of the compressor, and its specific value depends on the type of the compressor and is set according to actual conditions, and the preset fourth rotating speed, the preset fifth rotating speed and the preset third opening degree are set according to actual conditions. By setting the third outdoor unit temperature threshold and adopting the third cooling strategy, the situation that the outdoor unit mainboard temperature continues to rise due to an increase in refrigeration demand or poor outdoor unit ventilation and the like when the first cooling strategy is executed is prevented, and the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is rapidly reduced by the third cooling strategy, thereby ensuring the operation reliability of the air conditioner.
[0047] In one embodiment, if the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is less than a preset fourth outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold and less than the second outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold after the third cooling strategy is executed, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the second cooling strategy.
[0048] If the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is less than the preset fourth outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold and greater than or equal to the preset second outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the first cooling strategy.
[0049] The preset fourth outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold is less than the preset third outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold and greater than the preset first outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold. The preset fourth outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold can be set according to actual conditions. By setting the fourth outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, the first cooling strategy or the second cooling strategy can be switched when the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is less than the fourth outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, and the refrigeration effect is gradually improved.
[0050] In one embodiment, a preset second outdoor environment temperature threshold is further included, and if the current outdoor environment temperature is greater than the preset second outdoor environment temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the third cooling strategy, wherein the preset second outdoor environment temperature threshold is greater than the preset first outdoor environment temperature threshold. The preset second outdoor environment temperature threshold is set according to actual conditions. By the preset second outdoor environment temperature threshold, the third cooling strategy is directly used for cooling when the current outdoor environment temperature is too high.
[0051] In one embodiment, if the current outdoor environment temperature is less than the preset first outdoor environment temperature threshold, the current condenser coil temperature is acquired;
[0052] If the current condenser coil temperature is greater than or equal to a preset condenser coil temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the second cooling strategy;
[0053] Otherwise, the air conditioner is controlled to continue to run in the running mode set in the normal mode.
[0054] The preset condenser coil temperature threshold can be set according to actual conditions. By the preset condenser coil temperature threshold, the situation that the temperature of the airflow after heat exchange at the condenser coil is too high due to an increase in refrigeration demand or an increase in indoor heat sources, resulting in poor heat dissipation effect at the outdoor unit mainboard, is avoided.
[0055] In one embodiment, if the current outdoor environment temperature is less than the preset first outdoor environment temperature threshold and the current condenser coil temperature is less than the preset condenser coil temperature threshold after the second cooling strategy is executed, the air conditioner is controlled to run in the running mode set in the normal mode.
[0056] In one embodiment, if the current outdoor environment temperature is greater than or equal to the preset first outdoor environment temperature threshold and the current outdoor unit mainboard temperature is less than the preset first outdoor unit mainboard temperature threshold, the air conditioner is controlled to execute the second cooling strategy.
[0057] Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner control method provided by the application can effectively reduce the temperature of the outdoor unit mainboard, avoid overheating of the key electronic components on the outdoor unit mainboard, ensure the refrigeration effect under high-temperature working conditions, avoid shutdown of the air conditioner, improve the operation stability of the air conditioner, and improve the user experience.
