[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0061] The following describes the anti-freezing control method, anti-freezing control device and air conditioner of the air conditioner proposed by the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Before describing the embodiment of the present invention in detail, the entire application scenario is first described. The anti-freezing control method, anti-freezing control device, electronic device and computer-readable storage medium of the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the air conditioner locally, can be applied to the cloud platform in the Internet field, or other types of cloud platforms in the Internet field, or can also be applied to third-party devices. Among them, the third-party device may include a variety of different types such as mobile phones, tablet computers, notebooks, car computers and other smart terminals.
[0062] The following description only takes the anti-freezing control method applicable to air conditioners as an example. It should be understood that the anti-freezing control method of the embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to cloud platforms and third-party devices.
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the anti-freezing control method of the air conditioner according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0064] Step S1, determining that the air conditioner is turned on and stably operates in cooling mode, and obtaining indoor relative humidity and coil temperature of the indoor heat exchanger;
[0065] Step S2: generating a freeze protection logic for the air conditioner in cooling mode according to the indoor relative humidity and the coil temperature, and executing the freeze protection logic.
[0066] According to the anti-freezing control method of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, its specific working process and working principle are as follows: In step S1, when the air conditioner is turned on and stably operates in the cooling mode, the system first needs to obtain two key environmental parameters: indoor relative humidity and the coil temperature of the indoor heat exchanger.
[0067] For indoor relative humidity, a temperature and humidity sensor installed indoors can measure the current relative humidity, which reflects the moisture content in the air. For coil temperature, a coil temperature sensor installed on the indoor heat exchanger can measure the real-time coil temperature, which reflects the current thermal status of the heat exchanger.
[0068] Furthermore, in step S2, based on the acquired indoor relative humidity and coil temperature, the system generates and executes a freeze protection logic. Specifically, the system uses a preset algorithm and parameter thresholds, combined with the real-time indoor relative humidity and coil temperature, to determine whether there is a risk of frost or freezing under the current environmental conditions. If the system determines that there is a risk of freezing, it will initiate appropriate protective measures. These measures may include adjusting operating parameters (such as reducing cooling capacity, increasing wind speed, etc.) or directly entering a short defrost / de-icing mode to prevent frost or freezing on the heat exchanger surface.
[0069] It can be understood that the working principle of the present application is based on real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis of indoor environmental parameters. By monitoring the indoor relative humidity and the coil temperature, the system can assess the possibility of frosting or freezing. The key of this method is that it not only relies on a single temperature parameter, but also combines humidity information, making the judgment more accurate and comprehensive.
[0070] In the judgment process, both humidity and temperature are important reference indicators. In a high humidity environment, the air contains more moisture, which is more likely to condense into frost on the surface of the low-temperature heat exchanger. The decrease of the coil temperature may mean that the surface temperature of the heat exchanger is close to or below the dew point temperature, which is a precursor to frosting. Therefore, by analyzing the relative humidity and the coil temperature in real time through the built-in algorithm, the system can intelligently generate freezing protection logic based on real-time data and dynamically adjust the operation strategy to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
[0071] Through this method, the air conditioning system can effectively prevent and reduce the performance decline and shutdown problems caused by frosting or freezing, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioning system and the comfort of the user. At the same time, this method can also reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, and has high practical value.
[0072] In the related art, when the existing air conditioning unit is in refrigeration operation, if the outdoor and indoor temperatures are lower than 22 degrees, at this time, the indoor unit is usually low wind, the indoor heat exchanger has poor heat exchange effect, the refrigerant in the heat exchanger evaporates incompletely, the refrigerant is semi-liquidized and flows back to the compressor, resulting in a decrease in suction pressure and a decrease in evaporation temperature, which may cause the evaporation temperature of the heat exchanger to drop below zero degrees, and the heat exchanger to condense water and frost or even freeze. Long time will cause the heat exchanger to be completely blocked by frozen water, and there will be no refrigeration effect or even the water pan will be frozen. At this time, the machine needs to be stopped for defrosting or deicing. The existing frosting and freezing detection scheme detects the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger coil, and stops the machine for defrosting or deicing when the temperature is below a certain degree. If the temperature is set too low, the indoor heat exchanger may cause severe frosting of the heat exchanger, even extending to the water pan, causing the water pan to be blocked and overflow. If the temperature is set too high, the indoor heat exchanger may be slightly frosted or have no frost, which will cause frequent start-stop of the machine, thereby affecting the use comfort.
[0073] Therefore, in order to solve the technical defects existing in the related art, the present application provides a freeze prevention control method for air conditioning, which has at least the following advantages compared with the related art:
[0074] (1) Improve accuracy: the related art mainly relies on the coil temperature to determine whether to defrost or deice, which may cause misjudgment, such as frequent start-stop or insufficient defrosting when the temperature setting is inaccurate. The present application combines indoor relative humidity and coil temperature to more accurately judge the possibility of frosting or freezing, thereby reducing misoperation.
[0075] (2) Enhancing comfort: In related technologies, improper temperature point settings can lead to severe frosting of indoor heat exchangers or frequent start-stop operations, affecting user comfort. The present application avoids unnecessary defrosting or ice melting through intelligent judgment mechanisms, maintains continuous operation of the air conditioning system, and improves user comfort experience.
[0076] (3) Energy saving and high efficiency: Traditional defrosting control methods can lead to energy waste as they may initiate the defrosting process unnecessarily. The present application avoids unnecessary energy consumption by precisely controlling the timing of defrosting or ice melting, improving the energy efficiency ratio of the system.
[0077] (4) Reducing maintenance costs: Frequent start-stop and improper defrosting control can accelerate the wear and tear of air conditioning systems, increasing maintenance costs. The present application reduces mechanical wear and tear of the system through optimized control strategies, prolongs the service life of the equipment, and thus reduces long-term maintenance costs.
[0078] (5) Strong adaptability: Related technologies may not be stable under different environmental conditions and require frequent parameter adjustments. The present application can intelligently adjust protection measures according to real-time environmental changes, has strong adaptability and stability, and is suitable for a variety of different environmental conditions.
[0079] In summary, the multi-split air conditioner anti-freezing protection method of the present application improves the operating efficiency, stability and user comfort of the air conditioning system through intelligent control and comprehensive consideration of multiple environmental parameters, while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs, and has significant technical advantages.
[0080] According to some embodiments of the present application, in the steps of generating freezing protection logic of the air conditioner in cooling mode according to indoor relative humidity and coil temperature, and executing the freezing protection logic:
[0081] The freezing protection logic includes: controlling the air conditioner to perform a freezing protection operation after a target set duration; wherein the target set duration is determined according to the interval in which the indoor relative humidity is located and the interval in which the coil temperature is located.
[0082] It can be understood that the composition of the freeze protection logic mainly consists of three parts: first, real-time data monitoring: the air conditioning system monitors the indoor relative humidity and coil temperature in real time through the built-in sensors, which are crucial for determining whether frost or freeze will occur; second, parameter interval division: according to the pre-set standards or the learned model, the system maps the measured values of relative humidity and coil temperature to different intervals, where each interval represents a different freeze risk level; third, determination of target setting duration: the system determines the target setting duration for executing freeze protection operations according to the interval of relative humidity and coil temperature. For example, if the relative humidity is high and the coil temperature is low, the system may set a shorter duration to perform protection operations more frequently to prevent freeze from occurring.
[0083] Further, the execution of the freeze protection logic can also generally be divided into three detailed steps: first, execute the countdown mechanism, that is, once the target setting duration is determined, the system will start a countdown mechanism. During this period, the air conditioning system continues to operate normally, but at the same time prepares to perform freeze protection operations. Second, execute freeze protection, specifically, when the countdown ends, the air conditioning system automatically performs freeze protection operations. This may include temporarily switching to defrost mode, adjusting operating parameters, or taking other necessary measures to raise the coil temperature and prevent frost formation. Finally, perform intelligent adjustment and optimization, for example, while performing freeze protection operations, the system continuously monitors changes in the indoor environment, and if the environmental conditions change, the system will re-evaluate the freeze risk based on the new data and adjust the target setting duration or protection measures accordingly.
[0084] In this way, through the above method, the embodiments of the present application can provide a more intelligent and adaptive freeze protection mechanism. It not only can optimize the timing and duration of protection operations according to real-time environmental data, but also can reduce energy consumption and improve the operating efficiency of the air conditioning system, thereby improving the user experience and the reliability of the system.

[0102] Wherein, the seventh set time length is greater than the fifth set time length.
[0103] According to still another embodiment of the present application, the steps of generating and executing the freeze protection logic of the air conditioner in the cooling mode according to the indoor relative humidity and the coil temperature specifically include:
[0104] In the case that the indoor relative humidity is less than the third set humidity and the coil temperature is less than the second set temperature, the air conditioner is controlled to perform the freeze protection operation after the eighth set time length.
[0105] Wherein, the eighth set time length is greater than the sixth set time length and the first set time length.
[0106] It should be noted that the first set humidity, the second set humidity and the third set humidity in the above embodiments all refer to the preset value of the indoor relative humidity by the system or the user in advance, and the first set temperature and the second set temperature are both the preset value of the indoor coil temperature by the system or the user in advance. The first set humidity, the second set humidity, the third set humidity, the first set temperature and the second set temperature can be set to different values according to the requirements and the use environment, which are not specially limited in the present application.
[0107] The following gives a specific embodiment of the indoor relative humidity, the coil temperature and the target set time length.
[0108] When the indoor relative humidity is greater than or equal to 80% and the coil temperature is less than -1℃ and greater than or equal to -6℃, the air conditioner performs the freeze protection operation after 20min of cooling operation; when the indoor relative humidity is greater than or equal to 80% and the coil temperature is less than -6℃, the air conditioner performs the freeze protection operation after 5min of cooling operation.
[0109] When the indoor relative humidity is greater than or equal to 60% and less than 80% and the coil temperature is less than -1℃ and greater than or equal to -6℃, the air conditioner performs the freeze protection operation after 40min of cooling operation; when the indoor relative humidity is greater than or equal to 60% and less than 80% and the coil temperature is less than -6℃, the air conditioner performs the freeze protection operation after 10min of cooling operation.
[0110] When the indoor relative humidity is greater than or equal to 40% and less than 60%, and the coil temperature is less than -1°C and greater than or equal to -6°C, the air conditioner performs a freeze protection operation after 60 minutes of cooling operation; when the indoor relative humidity is greater than or equal to 40% and less than 60%, and the coil temperature is less than -6°C, the air conditioner performs a freeze protection operation after 20 minutes of cooling operation.
[0111] When the indoor relative humidity is less than 40%, and the coil temperature is less than -1°C and greater than or equal to -6°C, the air conditioner performs a freeze protection operation after 80 minutes of cooling operation; when the indoor relative humidity is less than 40%, and the coil temperature is less than -6°C, the air conditioner performs a freeze protection operation after 30 minutes of cooling operation.
[0112] According to some embodiments of the present application, after the steps of generating freeze protection logic for the air conditioner in cooling mode based on indoor relative humidity and coil temperature, and executing the freeze protection logic, the system further includes:
[0113] If the coil temperature is greater than or equal to a third set temperature, the freeze protection operation is ended and the cooling mode is continued.
[0114] In this embodiment, during the execution of the freeze protection operation, the system continuously monitors the coil temperature. This is to ensure that after the protection operation is executed, it can be determined in a timely manner whether to continue to execute or end the protection operation.
[0115] The system pre-sets a third set temperature, which is a threshold value for determining whether the freeze risk has been reduced to a safe level for exiting the freeze protection operation. When the monitored coil temperature reaches or exceeds the third set temperature, the system determines that the freeze risk has been reduced, and at this time the freeze protection operation is ended and the air conditioning system is allowed to continue running in cooling mode. For example, the third set temperature can be 7°C.
[0116] Once the coil temperature meets the end condition, the system automatically exits the freeze protection mode. This means that the special measures taken to prevent freezing (such as defrosting program or adjustment of operating parameters) will be cancelled. After exiting the freeze protection mode, the air conditioning system returns to normal cooling mode operation. The system will continue to provide a comfortable indoor environment for the user according to the indoor temperature and other operating parameters.
[0117] In addition, even after exiting the freeze protection mode, the system will continue to monitor key parameters such as indoor relative humidity and coil temperature to ensure that the air conditioning system can operate stably under various environmental conditions.
[0118] Thus, through this design, the present application not only effectively prevents and responds to freezing problems, but also ensures that the air conditioning system can resume normal operation in a timely manner after the freezing risk is eliminated, thereby maximizing energy efficiency and user comfort.
