Specific embodiments

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0022] To solve the problem that the heat generated in the air conditioner in the prior art is wasted, resulting in energy waste, the present application provides a humidification control method for an air conditioner. As Figure 1 shown, the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application includes a compressor 101, an oil separator 102, a gas-liquid separator 103, an air-cooled condenser 104, a recovery air duct 105, a recovery air duct air valve 106, an exhaust air duct 107, an exhaust air duct air valve 108, an evaporator 109, a heat absorption humidifier 110, and an electrode humidifier 111. Among them, the air conditioner compressor compresses the refrigerant to form a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The gas passes through the oil separator and enters the condenser, where it is cooled to form a normal-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The liquid then flows into the evaporator to evaporate and absorb heat. At this time, when the air flows through the evaporator, it will obtain cooling. In addition, a recovery air duct and an exhaust air duct are arranged in the condenser. The exhaust air duct discharges the hot air blown out by the condenser outside the machine, and the recovery air duct extends the hot air blown out by the condenser to the heat absorption humidifier.

[0023] It can be seen that a heat absorption humidifier is provided at the outlet of the recovery air duct of the air conditioner. Based on this, as Figure 2 shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes: Step 201, obtaining the total required humidification amount currently; In a specific example, the total humidification amount can be set accordingly according to the current scenario. For example, the room volume is 50 m³. Initial air parameters: temperature 20 °C, relative humidity 30% RH (absolute humidity is about 5.2 g / m³). Target humidity: 50% RH (absolute humidity is about 8.7 g / m³). Calculate the humidification amount: the absolute humidity to be increased = 8.7 - 5.2 = 3.5 g / m³, total humidification amount = 50 m³ × 3.5 g / m³ = 175 g.

[0024] For another example, greenhouse temperature: 30 °C, initial humidity 40% RH (absolute humidity 12 g / m³). Target humidity 60% RH (absolute humidity 18 g / m³). Space volume: 100 m³, total humidification amount calculation: need to increase 100 m³ × (18 - 12) g / m³ = 600 g.

[0025] Step 202, when the total humidification amount is not zero, determine the first humidification amount generated by guiding the hot air in the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier to heat the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier; In a specific example, the total humidification amount may change accordingly with the change of time and ambient temperature. Therefore, only when the total humidification amount is not zero, will it be determined to turn on the heat-absorbing humidifier to determine whether the humidification amount generated by the heat-absorbing humidifier can meet the current demand of the total humidification amount.

[0026] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the total humidification amount is zero, open the air duct valve of the exhaust duct and close the air duct valve of the recovery duct. The total humidification amount being zero indicates that there is no need for humidification currently, and the hot air can be discharged through the exhaust duct. Moreover, it is also necessary to close the air duct valve of the recovery duct to prevent the hot air from passing through the recovery duct to the heat-absorbing humidifier for humidification.

[0027] Step 203, determine whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner according to the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and control the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner.

[0028] In this regard, when the first humidification amount is lower than the total humidification amount, it indicates that the first humidification amount needs to be increased currently. If the first humidification amount is higher than the total humidification amount, it indicates that the humidification amount of the current heat-absorbing humidifier is already sufficient to meet the demand. In both cases, the electrode humidifier and the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner can be controlled to achieve the purpose that the first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount.

[0029] Through the above steps 201 to 203, when the total humidification amount is not zero, determine the first humidification amount generated by guiding the hot air in the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier to heat the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier, and then determine whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner according to the comparison result between the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and control the opening and closing states of the exhaust air duct and the recovery air duct of the air conditioner, so that the current total humidification amount can be equal to the first humidification amount to meet the demand for the humidification amount. That is to say, in this application, the heat generated by the air conditioner itself is converted into the corresponding humidification amount to meet the current demand for the environmental humidification amount, improving the utilization rate of energy and bringing a better user experience.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, for the method of determining whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner according to the comparison result between the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust air duct and the recovery air duct of the air conditioner involved in the above step 203, the following steps may be included: Step 11, when the first humidification amount is less than the total humidification amount, close the exhaust air duct valve and open the recovery air duct valve; Step 12, determine that the difference between the total humidification amount and the first humidification amount is the second humidification amount; Step 13, turn on the electrode humidifier so that the generated humidification amount is the second humidification amount.

[0031] It can be seen from the above steps 11 to 13 that when the first humidification amount is less than the total humidification amount, it indicates that the current total humidification amount is not satisfied and the first humidification amount needs to be further increased. When increasing the first humidification amount, more hot air needs to be guided from the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier, so that the heat-absorbing humidifier can generate more first humidification amounts. Therefore, it is necessary to close the exhaust air duct valve to allow all the hot air to pass through the recovery air duct and be guided to the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier for heating to generate more first humidification amounts. If the opening degree of the recovery air duct valve is not 100% at this time, it can be opened to 100% to make full use of the hot air passing through the recovery air duct to the heat-absorbing humidifier. At the same time, in order to meet the current demand for the total humidification amount as soon as possible, the electrode humidifier can also be turned on simultaneously so that the sum of the first humidification amount and the second humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount. It can be seen that in this case, although the electrode humidifier is turned on, due to the closing of the exhaust air duct valve, the surplus heat generated by the air conditioner is used to enable the heat-absorbing humidifier to generate more first humidification amounts. Therefore, the burden on the electrode humidifier in this case is relatively light, and the energy is fully utilized.

[0032] The above steps 11 to 13 are for the case where the first humidification amount is less than the total humidification amount. Below, other cases will be explained. Therefore, for the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner that determines whether to turn on according to the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount involved in the above step 203, and the method of controlling the opening and closing states of the air exhaust duct and the air return duct of the air conditioner, the following steps can further be included: Step 21, when the first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount, close the air exhaust duct valve and open the air return duct valve; Step 22, control the electrode humidifier to turn off.

[0033] It can be seen that if the current first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount, it indicates that there is no need for the electrode humidifier to assist in humidification at this time. At this time, it is necessary to close the air exhaust duct valve and open the air return duct valve to ensure that the current first humidification amount can always be equal to the total humidification amount. It can be seen that in this case, the excess hot air generated by the air conditioner can fully meet the current required humidification amount by the heat absorption humidifier, improving the energy utilization rate, and there is no need to start the electrode humidifier, which also saves energy consumption.

[0034] In addition, in a specific example, for the air return duct valve that is opened, the opening degree of the valve can be used to ensure that the first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount. For example, if the current total humidification amount becomes larger, the opening degree of the air return duct valve can be further increased; if the current total humidification amount becomes smaller, the opening degree of the air return duct valve can be further decreased to ensure that the first humidification amount is always equal to the total humidification amount and meet the user's needs.

[0035] In the above embodiments of the present application, the cases where the first humidification amount is less than or equal to the total humidification amount are explained. Below, the case where the first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount will be explained. Therefore, for the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner that determines whether to turn on according to the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount involved in the above step 203, and the method of controlling the opening and closing states of the air exhaust duct and the air return duct of the air conditioner, it can further include: Step 31, when the first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount, open the air exhaust duct valve and adjust the opening degree of the air return duct valve to make the first humidification amount equal to the total humidification amount; Step 32, control the electrode humidifier to turn off.

[0036] It can be seen that if the current first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount, it indicates that there is surplus hot air in the hot air flowing through the recovery air duct to the heat absorption humidifier at this time, and a part of it needs to be discharged through the exhaust air duct to reduce the hot air entering the recovery air duct, thereby reducing the first humidification amount until the first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount. Specifically, the hot air discharged can be controlled by controlling the opening degree of the exhaust air duct valve. If the current first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount and the difference between the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount is large, the opening degree of the exhaust air duct valve can be increased at this time. After the difference between the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount becomes small, the opening degree of the exhaust air duct valve can be decreased, which can reduce the speed of decrease of the first humidification amount. In this way, the first humidification amount can be quickly and accurately made equal to the total humidification amount. That is to say, when the first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount, the opening degree of the exhaust air duct valve can be controlled according to the size of the difference between the two.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, after making the total humidification amount meet the requirements through the heat absorption humidifier and / or the electrode humidifier in the above manner, if the current total humidification amount changes, such as the total humidification amount becomes larger or smaller, it is still necessary to continue to control the opening and closing states of the exhaust air duct and the recovery air duct of the air conditioner, as well as the operating state of the electrode humidifier, so as to continue to meet the requirements of the changed total humidification amount. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, after determining whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner according to the comparison result between the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust air duct and the recovery air duct of the air conditioner, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include: Step 41, in the case of a change in the total humidification amount, continue to control the operating state of the electrode humidifier and the opening and closing states of the exhaust air duct and the recovery air duct of the air conditioner according to the comparison result between the changed total humidification amount and the first humidification amount.

[0038] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, as long as the operating state of the electrode humidifier can be continuously controlled after the total humidification amount changes, as well as the opening and closing states of the exhaust air duct and the recovery air duct of the air conditioner, so as to meet the requirements of the changed total humidification amount, thereby meeting the real-time needs of users and further improving the user experience. The specific control process is similar to the above method in the present application.

[0039] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, before determining to guide the hot air in the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat absorption humidifier, the method steps of the embodiment of the present application further include: Step 51, determine whether the total humidification amount changes; Step 52, in the case of a change in the total humidification amount, close the exhaust air duct valve and open the recovery air duct valve; Step 53, in the case of no change in the total humidification amount, keep the states of the exhaust air duct valve and the recovery air duct valve unchanged.

[0040] In this regard, if the total humidification amount changes, it may increase or decrease. However, in either case, the exhaust air duct damper is closed and the recovery air duct damper is opened. If the total humidification amount increases, more hot air is required to pass through the recovery air duct to increase the first humidification amount, so the exhaust air duct damper needs to be closed. If the total humidification amount decreases, the exhaust air duct damper is still closed and the recovery air duct damper is opened because it is uncertain whether the humidification amount provided by the subsequent endothermic humidifier can meet the current total humidification amount. Subsequently, the states of the exhaust air duct damper and the recovery air duct damper are controlled again according to the comparison result between the first humidification amount provided by the endothermic humidifier and the total humidification amount.

[0041] The following further explains the present application in combination with the specific implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application. The specific implementation manners provide an energy-saving humidification method for an air conditioner, in combination with Figure 1 the air conditioner, the method in the specific implementation manners, such as Figure 3 shown, includes the following steps: Step 301, before executing this method, set the total humidification amount required to be achieved by this air conditioner as d_total.

[0042] Step 302, when the value of d_total changes, it is default that the recovery air duct damper is opened and the exhaust air duct damper is closed; if the value of d_total remains the same as the previous setting, the recovery air duct damper and the exhaust air duct damper still maintain the previous situation.

[0043] Step 303, obtain the moisture content D_before measured by the humidity sensor before the endothermic humidification section, and obtain the moisture content D_absorbed measured by the humidity sensor between the endothermic humidification section and the electrode humidification section.

[0044] Among them, a humidity sensor is arranged in front of the endothermic humidification section when the air supply passes through, and a humidity sensor is also arranged between the endothermic humidification section and the electrode humidification section. Step 304, calculate that the humidification amount of the endothermic humidifier is d_absorbed = D_absorbed - D_before.

[0045] Step 305, when d_absorbed < d_total, at this time, all the hot air from the air-cooled condenser is required to be used by the endothermic humidifier, keep the exhaust air duct damper closed and keep the recovery air duct open. Then the additional humidification amount that the electrode humidifier needs to provide is d_electric = d_total - d_absorbed.

[0046] Step 306, when d_absorbed = d_total, at this time, all the hot air from the air-cooled condenser is required to be used by the endothermic humidifier, keep the exhaust air duct damper closed and keep the recovery air duct open. Just the humidification amount of the endothermic humidifier is enough to meet d_total, and there is no need to consume electricity to turn on the electrode humidifier.

[0047] Step 307: When d_absorption > d_total, the humidification capacity of the heat-absorbing humidifier is surplus and does not need to be fully utilized. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the heating of the heat-absorbing humidifier by the hot air of the air-cooled condenser. Keep the air valve of the recovery air duct open and adjust the opening degree of the exhaust air duct valve to make d_absorption = d_total. The humidification capacity of the heat-absorbing humidifier is sufficient to meet d_total, and there is no need to turn on the electrode humidifier by power consumption.

[0048] Step 308: When there is no need to humidify the supply air, that is, d_total = 0, keep the exhaust air duct valve open and close the recovery air duct valve. All the hot air of the air-cooled condenser is discharged without utilization, and there is no hot air to heat the heat-absorbing humidifier, so d_absorption = 0.

[0049] Through the above steps 301 to 308, the heat generated by the compressor is recycled for humidification energy supply, and the heat taken away by the air-cooled condenser is recycled for humidification energy supply, so as to effectively utilize the heat generated by the compressor compressing gas and the heat taken away by the air-cooled condenser. That is to say, in this specific embodiment, the hot air blown out by the air-cooled condenser can be guided through the recovery air duct to the bottom of the boiler of the heat-absorbing humidifier, and the water stored inside the heat-absorbing humidifier is evaporated by heating, so as to humidify the supply air. In necessary periods, only the electrode humidifier after heat absorption and humidification needs to be turned on to add a part of humidity to the supply air, so as to achieve the purpose of energy recovery and energy saving.

[0050] Corresponding to Figure 2 , the present application also provides a humidification control device for an air conditioner.

[0051] Through the device of the embodiment of the present application, when the total humidification amount is not zero, determine the first humidification amount generated by guiding the hot air of the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier and heating the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier, and then determine whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner according to the comparison result between the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and control the opening and closing states of the exhaust air duct and the recovery air duct of the air conditioner, so that the current total humidification amount can be equal to the first humidification amount to meet the demand for the humidification amount. That is to say, in the present application, the heat generated by the air conditioner itself is converted into the corresponding humidification amount to meet the current demand for the environmental humidification amount, improving the utilization rate of energy and bringing a better user experience.
