[0024] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments.

[0025] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different configurations of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and configurations of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely 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. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or configurations discussed.

[0026] In order to solve the problem of energy waste caused by heat generated by air conditioners in the prior art, the present application provides a humidification control method for air conditioners, such as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application includes a compressor 101, an oil separator 102, a vapor-liquid separator 103, an air-cooled condenser 104, a recovery duct 105, a recovery duct air valve 106, an exhaust duct 107, an exhaust duct air valve 108, an evaporator 109, a heat-absorbing 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 to be 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, the wind flowing through the evaporator will be cooled. In addition, a recovery duct and an exhaust duct are arranged on the condenser. The exhaust duct is used to discharge the hot air blown out of the machine, and the recovery duct extends the hot air blown out of the condenser to the heat-absorbing humidifier.

[0027] It can be seen that a heat absorbing humidifier is provided at the outlet of the air recovery duct of the air conditioner. Based on this, Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0028] Step 201, obtaining the total humidification amount currently required;

[0029] In this example, the total humidification capacity can be set based on the current scenario. For example, for a room with a volume of 50 m³, initial air parameters are: temperature 20°C, relative humidity 30% RH (approximately 5.2 g / m³ absolute humidity), and target humidity: 50% RH (approximately 8.7 g / m³ absolute humidity). To calculate the humidification capacity, the required absolute humidity increase is 8.7 - 5.2 = 3.5 g / m³, resulting in a total humidification capacity of 50 m³ × 3.5 g / m³ = 175 g.

[0030] For example, let's assume a greenhouse temperature of 30°C, an initial humidity of 40% RH (absolute humidity 12 g / m³), and a target humidity of 60% RH (absolute humidity 18 g / m³). For a room volume of 100 m³, the total humidification capacity is calculated as follows: 100 m³ × (18 - 12) g / m³ = 600 g.

[0031] Step 202, when the total humidification amount is not zero, determining a first humidification amount generated by directing the hot air from the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat absorption humidifier to heat the bottom of the heat absorption humidifier;

[0032] In a specific example, the total humidification amount may change accordingly with changes in time and ambient temperature. Therefore, only when the total humidification amount is not zero will it be determined to turn on the heat absorption humidifier to determine whether the humidification amount generated by the heat absorption humidifier can meet the current total humidification amount requirement.

[0033] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the total humidification capacity is zero, the exhaust duct valve is opened and the recovery duct valve is closed. A total humidification capacity of zero indicates that humidification is not currently required and the hot air can be discharged through the exhaust duct. Furthermore, the recovery duct valve needs to be closed to prevent the hot air from humidifying in the heat-absorbing humidifier through the recovery duct.

[0034] Step 203 , determining whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner based on the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner.

[0035] 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. If the first humidification amount is higher than the total humidification amount, it indicates that the humidification amount of the current heat absorption humidifier is sufficient to meet the demand. In both cases, the exhaust duct and recovery duct of the click humidifier and the air conditioner can be controlled to achieve the purpose of making the first humidification amount equal to the total humidification amount.

[0036] Through steps 201 to 203, when the total humidification amount is not zero, the first humidification amount generated by heating the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier by directing the hot air from the recovery duct to the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier is determined. Then, based on the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, it is determined whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner, and the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner are controlled so that the current total humidification amount is equal to the first humidification amount, thereby meeting the user's humidification amount demand. In other words, in this application, the heat generated by the air conditioner itself is converted into a corresponding humidification amount to meet the current environmental humidification amount demand, thereby improving energy utilization and providing a better user experience.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, the method of determining 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 involved in step 203, and controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner, may include the following steps:

[0038] Step 11: When the first humidification capacity is less than the total humidification capacity, the exhaust duct valve is closed and the recovery duct valve is opened;

[0039] Step 12, determining the difference between the total humidification amount and the first humidification amount as the second humidification amount;

[0040] Step 13: Turn on the electrode humidifier so that the generated humidification amount is the second humidification amount.

[0041] 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 total humidification amount at this time is not met 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 absorption humidifier, so that the heat absorption humidifier can produce more first humidification amount. Therefore, it is necessary to close the exhaust duct air valve and allow all hot air to be guided to the bottom of the heat absorption humidifier through the recovery air duct to heat it in order to produce more first humidification amount. If the opening of the recovery air duct air valve is not 100% at this time, it can be opened to 100% so that the hot air passing through the recovery air duct to the heat absorption humidifier can be fully utilized. At the same time, in order to meet the current total humidification amount demand as soon as possible, the electrode humidifier can also be turned on at the same time 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, the exhaust duct valve is closed, and the excess heat generated by the air conditioner is used to enable the heat-absorbing humidifier to produce more first humidification. Therefore, the burden on the electrode humidifier in this case is relatively light, and energy is fully utilized.

[0042] The above steps 11 to 13 are for the case where the first humidification amount is less than the total humidification amount. Other cases will be explained below. Therefore, the method involved in the above step 203 of determining whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner based on the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner, can further include the following steps:

[0043] Step 21, when the first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount, closing the exhaust duct valve and opening the recovery duct valve;

[0044] Step 22: Control the electrode humidifier to turn off.

[0045] As can be seen, if the current first humidification amount equals the total humidification amount, it indicates that the electrode humidifier is not needed for auxiliary humidification. At this time, the exhaust duct valve needs to be closed and the recovery duct valve needs to be opened to ensure that the current first humidification amount always equals the total humidification amount. As can be seen, in this case, the heat absorption humidifier can fully meet the current humidification amount by utilizing the excess hot air generated by the air conditioner, improving energy utilization. It also saves energy by not requiring the electrode humidifier to start.

[0046] In addition, in a specific example, for the air valve of the open recovery air duct, the opening of the air valve can ensure that the first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount. If the current total humidification amount increases, the opening of the air valve of the recovery air duct can be further increased. If the current total humidification amount decreases, the opening of the air valve of the recovery air duct can be further reduced to ensure that the first humidification amount clock is equal to the total humidification amount, thereby meeting the needs of users.

[0047] In the above embodiment of the present application, the explanation is based on the case where the first humidification amount is less than or equal to the total humidification amount. The following explanation will be based on the case where the first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount. Therefore, the method involved in the above step 203 of determining whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner based on the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, and controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner, can further include:

[0048] Step 31, when the first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount, opening the exhaust duct air valve and adjusting the opening of the recovery duct air valve so that the first humidification amount is equal to the total humidification amount;

[0049] Step 32: Control the electrode humidifier to turn off.

[0050] It can be seen that if the current first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount, it indicates that there is excess hot air flowing through the recovery air duct to the heat absorption humidifier, and a part of it needs to be discharged through the exhaust 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 of the exhaust duct air valve. If the current first humidification amount is greater than the total humidification amount, and the first humidification amount is significantly different from the total humidification amount, then the opening of the exhaust duct air valve can be opened a little wider at this time. After the difference between the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount is smaller, the opening of the exhaust duct air valve can be opened a little narrower, which can reduce the speed of the first humidification amount reduction. 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 of the exhaust duct air valve can be controlled according to the size of the difference between the two.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, after the total humidification capacity is satisfied by the heat absorption humidifier and / or the electrode humidifier in the above manner, if the current total humidification capacity changes, such as the total humidification capacity increases or decreases, it is necessary to continue to control the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner, as well as the operating state of the electrode humidifier, to continue to meet the demand for the changed total humidification capacity. Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, after determining whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner based on the comparison result of the first humidification capacity and the total humidification capacity, and controlling the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner, the method of the embodiment of the present application may further include:

[0052] Step 41 , when the total humidification amount changes, the operating state of the electrode humidifier and the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner are continued to be controlled according to the comparison result between the changed total humidification amount and the first humidification amount.

[0053] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, as long as the total humidification amount changes, the operating state of the electrode humidifier and the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner can continue to be controlled to meet the demand for the changed total humidification amount, thereby meeting the real-time needs of the user and further improving the user experience. The specific control process is similar to the method in the above-mentioned present application.

[0054] In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, before determining to guide the hot air from the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat absorption humidifier, the method steps of the embodiment of the present application further include:

[0055] Step 51, determining whether the total humidification amount changes;

[0056] Step 52: When the total humidification amount changes, close the exhaust duct valve and open the recovery duct valve;

[0057] Step 53, without changing the total humidification amount, keep the states of the exhaust air duct damper and the recovery air duct damper unchanged.

[0058] 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 heat absorption 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 heat absorption humidifier and the total humidification amount.

[0059] Next, in combination with the specific implementation manners of the embodiments of the present application, the present application will be further explained. The specific implementation manner provides an energy-saving humidification method for an air conditioner, in combination with Figure 1 of the air conditioner, the method in this specific implementation manner, such as Figure 3 shown, includes the following steps:

[0060] Step 301, before executing this method, set the total humidification amount required to be achieved by this air conditioner as d_total.

[0061] Step 302, when the value of d_total is changed, by default, 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.

[0062] Step 303, obtain the moisture content D_before measured by the humidity sensor before the heat absorption humidification section, and obtain the moisture content D_absorbed measured by the humidity sensor between the heat absorption humidification section and the electrode humidification section.

[0063] Among them, a humidity sensor is arranged in front of the heat absorption humidification section through which the air supply passes, and a humidity sensor is also arranged between the heat absorption humidification section and the electrode humidification section.

[0064] Step 304, calculate that the humidification amount of the heat absorption humidifier is d_absorbed = D_absorbed - D_before.

[0065] Step 305, when d_absorbed < d_total, at this time, all the hot air of the air-cooled condenser needs to be used for the heat absorption 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.

[0066] In step 306, when dab = dtotal, all the hot air from the air-cooled condenser is used to feed the heat-absorbing humidifier. The exhaust duct valve is kept closed, and the recovery duct is kept open. The heat-absorbing humidifier's humidification capacity is sufficient to meet dtotal, eliminating the need to power the electrode humidifier.

[0067] In step 307, when dAbsorption>dTotal, the humidification capacity of the heat absorption humidifier is surplus and does not need to be fully utilized. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the heating of the heat absorption humidifier by the hot air from the air-cooled condenser, keep the air valve of the recovery air duct open, and adjust the opening of the air valve of the exhaust air duct to make dAbsorption=dTotal. The humidification capacity of the heat absorption humidifier is sufficient to meet dTotal, and there is no need to consume power to open the electrode humidifier.

[0068] Step 308, when there is no need to humidify the supply air, that is, dtotal=0, keep the exhaust duct valve open and close the recovery duct valve, all the hot air from the air-cooled condenser is discharged without being used, and there is no hot air to heat the heat absorbing humidifier, dab=0.

[0069] Through steps 301 to 308, the heat generated by the compressor is recovered and utilized to power the humidification process, and the heat removed by the air-cooled condenser is recovered and utilized to power the humidification process, thereby effectively utilizing the heat generated by the compressor during gas compression and the heat removed by the air-cooled condenser. Specifically, in this embodiment, the hot air from the air-cooled condenser is directed through a recovery air duct to the bottom of the boiler of the heat-absorbing humidifier. This heat is then evaporated by heating the stored water within the heat-absorbing humidifier, thereby humidifying the supply air. When necessary, only the electrode humidifier, after heat absorption and humidification, is activated to add some moisture to the supply air, thereby achieving energy recovery and energy conservation.

[0070] Corresponding to Figure 2 The present application also provides a humidification control device for an air conditioner, wherein a heat absorbing humidifier is provided at the outlet of the air recovery duct of the air conditioner, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device includes:

[0071] An acquisition module 402 is used to acquire the total humidification amount currently required;

[0072] Processing module 404 is used to determine a first humidification amount generated by directing the hot air from the recovery air duct to the bottom of the heat absorption humidifier to heat the bottom of the heat absorption humidifier when the total humidification amount is not zero;

[0073] The first control module 406 is used to 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 to control the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner.

[0074] Through the device of the embodiment of the present application, when the total humidification amount is not zero, it is determined that the hot air from the recovery duct is directed to the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier to heat the bottom of the heat-absorbing humidifier to generate a first humidification amount. Then, based on the comparison result of the first humidification amount and the total humidification amount, it is determined whether to turn on the electrode humidifier of the air conditioner, and the opening and closing states of the exhaust duct and the recovery duct of the air conditioner are controlled so that the current total humidification amount can be equal to the first humidification amount, thereby meeting the user's humidification amount demand. In other words, in the present application, the heat generated by the air conditioner itself is converted into a corresponding humidification amount to meet the current demand for environmental humidification, thereby improving energy utilization and providing a better user experience.

[0075] In an optional implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, the first control module in the embodiment of the present application may further include: a first control unit, used to close the exhaust duct valve and open the recovery duct valve when the first humidification amount is less than the total humidification amount; a determination unit, used to determine that the difference between the total humidification amount and the first humidification amount is the second humidification amount; a second control unit, used to turn on the electrode humidifier so that the generated humidification amount is the second humidification amount.
