It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0030] When the exhaust temperature sensor becomes detached, the exhaust temperature measured by the sensor will be lower than the actual exhaust temperature of the compressor. If the air conditioner is continued to be controlled based on the exhaust temperature measured by the sensor, it will cause abnormal operation of the air conditioner or even damage to the system.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, in a first aspect, this application provides an exhaust temperature control method applicable to an air conditioner 1. The exhaust temperature control method includes S10 to S30, which can accurately detect whether the exhaust temperature sensing bulb has malfunctioned, such as becoming loose, and take timely fault handling measures to avoid abnormal operation or even system damage of the air conditioner 1.

[0032] S10: Obtain the measured values ​​of the exhaust temperature sensor, condenser temperature, and evaporator temperature. The exhaust temperature sensor is used to measure the exhaust temperature of the compressor.

[0033] The sources of the condenser and evaporator temperatures differ depending on the operating mode of air conditioner 1. In heating mode, the indoor heat exchanger acts as the condenser, and the outdoor heat exchanger acts as the evaporator; the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is the condenser temperature, and the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is the evaporator temperature. In cooling mode, the outdoor heat exchanger acts as the condenser, and the indoor heat exchanger acts as the evaporator; the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger is the condenser temperature, and the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger is the evaporator temperature.

[0034] S20: Determine the exhaust superheat deviation based on the measured values ​​of the exhaust temperature sensor, condenser temperature, and evaporator temperature. The exhaust superheat deviation is the difference between the calculated exhaust superheat value and the preset value.

[0035] The calculated value of exhaust superheat is determined based at least on the measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor and is directly related to the measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor. The preset value of exhaust superheat is determined based at least on the condenser temperature and evaporator temperature, using a preset exhaust superheat calculation model. The preset exhaust superheat calculation model can be predetermined based on reference data such as experimental test data and historical operating data, reflecting the correspondence between condenser temperature, evaporator temperature and exhaust superheat during the operation of air conditioner 1. The input parameters of the preset exhaust superheat calculation model include condenser temperature and evaporator temperature, and the output result is the preset value of exhaust superheat. For example, the preset exhaust superheat calculation model can be a preset exhaust superheat lookup table, and the preset value of exhaust superheat can be determined by looking up the table based on the condenser temperature and evaporator temperature.

[0036] S30: When the duration of the exhaust superheat deviation being less than the deviation threshold is greater than the time threshold, the exhaust temperature sensor is determined to be faulty.

[0037] When the exhaust superheat deviation is less than the deviation threshold, it indicates that the calculated value of the exhaust superheat is significantly lower than the preset value, and the exhaust temperature sensor may be loose. To further eliminate interfering factors, the duration of this state is calculated from the point when the exhaust superheat deviation is less than the deviation threshold to accurately determine whether the exhaust temperature sensor has malfunctioned, such as becoming loose. If the duration of this state is greater than the time threshold, it can be determined that the exhaust temperature sensor has indeed malfunctioned, such as becoming loose. If the duration of the exhaust superheat deviation being less than the deviation threshold is less than or equal to the time threshold, it can be determined that the exhaust superheat deviation is temporarily less than the deviation threshold due to interfering factors, and the exhaust temperature sensor has not malfunctioned, such as becoming loose. Interfering factors causing the exhaust superheat deviation to be temporarily less than the deviation threshold can include, for example, the frequency fluctuation of the compressor caused by high pressure or pipe temperature protection, resulting in the exhaust superheat deviation being temporarily less than the deviation threshold.

[0038] The exhaust temperature control method provided in this application determines the exhaust superheat deviation based on the measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor, the condenser temperature, and the evaporator temperature. Then, based on whether the duration of the exhaust superheat deviation being less than the deviation threshold is greater than the time threshold, it accurately determines whether the exhaust temperature sensor has malfunctioned, such as becoming loose. This allows for timely fault handling measures to prevent the air conditioner 1 from malfunctioning or even being damaged.

[0039] In some embodiments, S10 may include S11 to S12 to accurately obtain the condenser temperature and the evaporator temperature.

[0040] S11: When the air conditioner 1 is in heating mode, the indoor heat exchanger temperature of the air conditioner 1 is obtained as the condenser temperature, and the outdoor heat exchanger temperature of the air conditioner 1 is obtained as the evaporator temperature.

[0041] Here, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger can be measured in real time by a temperature sensor installed on the indoor heat exchanger, and the temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger can be measured in real time by a temperature sensor installed on the outdoor heat exchanger.

[0042] S12: When the air conditioner 1 is in cooling mode, obtain the outdoor heat exchanger temperature of the air conditioner 1 as the condenser temperature, and obtain the indoor heat exchanger temperature of the air conditioner 1 as the evaporator temperature.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, S20 may include S21 to S23 to accurately calculate the exhaust superheat deviation.

[0044] S21: Determine the calculated value of exhaust superheat based on the measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor and the condenser temperature. Here, the calculated value of exhaust superheat can be the difference between the measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor and the condenser temperature.

[0045] S22: Determine the preset value of exhaust superheat based on the condenser temperature and evaporator temperature.

[0046] Here, the preset value of exhaust superheat can be determined as described above, based on the condenser temperature and evaporator temperature, and according to a preset exhaust superheat calculation model. For example, the preset exhaust superheat calculation model can be a preset exhaust superheat lookup table; by looking up the table based on the condenser temperature and evaporator temperature, the preset value of exhaust superheat can be determined.

[0047] S23: Determine the exhaust superheat deviation based on the calculated and preset values ​​of exhaust superheat.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, after S30, the exhaust temperature control method may include S40.

[0049] S40: Determine the compressor's discharge temperature based on the preset value of the discharge superheat and the condenser temperature.

[0050] When a fault is identified in the exhaust temperature sensor, such as a loose sensor, it can be determined that the sensor's measurement value deviates significantly from the actual exhaust temperature of the compressor. Therefore, the sensor's measurement cannot be used as the compressor's exhaust temperature, and the air conditioner 1 cannot be controlled based on this value. In this case, an alternative exhaust temperature can be calculated based on the preset exhaust superheat value and the condenser temperature, and this alternative exhaust temperature can be used as the compressor's exhaust temperature. The compressor's exhaust temperature determined in this way is approximately consistent with the actual exhaust temperature. This allows the air conditioner 1 to be controlled based on the compressor's exhaust temperature, ensuring that it continues to operate normally even when the exhaust temperature sensor malfunctions.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in some examples, the exhaust temperature control method may include S301 after S30 and before S40.

[0052] S301: Controls the compressor to reduce its frequency in order to lower the compressor's exhaust temperature.

[0053] After determining that the exhaust temperature sensor has malfunctioned, such as becoming loose, and before taking fault handling measures such as S40, the compressor frequency can be reduced to lower the compressor's exhaust temperature, providing temporary protection for air conditioner 1 and preventing air conditioner 1 from malfunctioning or being damaged due to significantly high exhaust temperature.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, the exhaust temperature control method may include S302 after S30 and before S40.

[0055] S302: Increase the opening of the throttle valve to reduce the compressor's discharge temperature.

[0056] After determining that the exhaust temperature sensor has malfunctioned, such as becoming loose, and before taking fault handling measures such as S40, the opening of the throttle valve can be increased to reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor, providing temporary protection for the air conditioner 1 and preventing the air conditioner 1 from malfunctioning or being damaged due to a significantly high exhaust temperature.

[0057] In some examples, after S30 and before S40, S301 and S302 can be taken respectively, that is, to reduce the operating frequency of the compressor and increase the opening of the throttle valve, so as to reduce the exhaust temperature of the compressor and reliably provide temporary protection for the air conditioner 1, so as to avoid the air conditioner 1 from malfunctioning or being damaged due to significantly high exhaust temperature.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, after S30, the exhaust temperature control method may include S51 to S53.

[0059] S51: Obtain the compressor's lubricating oil temperature and suction saturation temperature.

[0060] Here, the compressor's lubricating oil temperature can be measured in real time using an oil temperature sensor, which can be installed at the bottom of the compressor. The suction saturation temperature is the refrigerant saturation temperature corresponding to the compressor's suction pressure; that is, the critical temperature at which the refrigerant changes from a liquid to a gaseous state at that suction pressure. It can be determined by looking up a table or by calculation based on the compressor's suction pressure and the refrigerant's characteristics.

[0061] S52: Determine the compressor oil temperature superheat based on the compressor's lubricating oil temperature and suction saturation temperature.

[0062] Here, the compressor oil superheat can be the difference between the compressor lubricating oil temperature and the suction saturation temperature.

[0063] S53: Control at least one of the compressor frequency and the opening degree of the throttle valve based on the compressor oil temperature superheat.

[0064] In some examples, the compressor frequency can be controlled based on the compressor's oil superheat, but the throttle valve opening cannot be controlled. In other examples, the throttle valve opening can be controlled based on the compressor's oil superheat. In still other examples, both the compressor frequency and the throttle valve opening can be controlled based on the compressor's oil superheat.

[0065] After determining that the exhaust temperature sensor has malfunctioned, such as becoming loose, it can be confirmed that the sensor's measurement value has significantly deviated from the actual exhaust temperature of the compressor. Therefore, the sensor's measurement value cannot be used as the compressor's exhaust temperature, and thus, the air conditioner 1 cannot be controlled based on it. In this case, the compressor's oil superheat can be used instead of the compressor's exhaust temperature. Accordingly, at least one of the compressor's frequency and the throttle valve opening can be controlled based on the compressor's oil superheat, allowing the air conditioner 1 to continue operating normally even when the exhaust temperature sensor malfunctions.

[0066] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an exhaust temperature control device applicable to an air conditioner 1, comprising: a measurement acquisition module configured to acquire the measured values ​​of an exhaust temperature sensor, condenser temperature, and evaporator temperature, wherein the exhaust temperature sensor is used to measure the exhaust temperature of the compressor; a deviation calculation module configured to determine an exhaust superheat deviation based on the measured values ​​of the exhaust temperature sensor, condenser temperature, and evaporator temperature, wherein the exhaust superheat deviation is the deviation between the calculated value of the exhaust superheat and a preset value; and a fault determination module configured to determine an exhaust temperature sensor fault when the duration for which the exhaust superheat deviation is less than a deviation threshold is greater than a time threshold.

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, in a third aspect, embodiments of this application provide an air conditioner 1, including a processor 10 and a memory 20. The memory 20 stores a computer program, which, when executed by the processor 10, implements the exhaust temperature control method as described in any of the above embodiments. Here, the air conditioner 1 may further include a compressor, an exhaust temperature sensor, and a throttle valve.

[0068] Processor 10 is connected to memory 20 and can perform various actions and processes according to the program stored in memory 20. Specifically, processor 10 can be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. The processor 10 can be a general-purpose processor, digital signal processor (DSP), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), off-the-shelf programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic device, or discrete hardware component, and can implement or execute the methods, steps, and logic block diagrams disclosed in the embodiments of this application. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor, and can be based on x86 architecture or ARM architecture.

[0069] Memory 20 may be volatile or non-volatile, or may include both. Non-volatile memory may be read-only memory (ROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), or flash memory. Volatile memory may be random access memory (RAM) used as an external cache. By way of example, but not limitation, many forms of RAM are available, such as static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDRSDRAM), enhanced synchronous dynamic random access memory (ESDRAM), synchronous linked dynamic random access memory (SLDRAM), and direct memory bus random access memory (DRRAM). It should be noted that memory 20 of the methods described herein is intended to include, but is not limited to, these and any other suitable types of memory.

[0070] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program being loaded by a processor 10 to execute the steps in the control method of any of the above embodiments.

The various computer-readable storage media described in the embodiments of this application may represent one or more devices and / or other machine-readable storage media for storing information. The term "machine-readable storage medium" may include, but is not limited to, wireless channels and various other media capable of storing, containing, and / or carrying instructions and / or data.
