[0085] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or an electronic device or environmental control system capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses an environmental control system as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0086] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a control method for an environmental control system, referring to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the control method for the environmental control system of this application.

[0087] In this embodiment, the control method of the environmental control system includes steps S10 to S20:

[0088] Step S10: With the rapid heating function of the environmental control system in the on state, obtain the indoor temperature of the indoor space.

[0089] The indoor unit and terminal devices are located in the same indoor space. In this embodiment, the terminal devices include radiant terminals, such as underfloor heating systems.

[0090] The rapid heating function indicates that the indoor space where the indoor unit and terminal equipment are located has a need for rapid heating.

[0091] In this embodiment, the rapid heating function is activated in response to a user command. For example, the user can click an icon to input a command to activate the rapid heating function. At this time, the heat pump system, the heating system, and the corresponding indoor units and terminal devices in the indoor space are all in a heating-on state or a heating standby state. In other embodiments, the rapid heating function may also be activated when the user's status in the indoor space reaches a preset state or when the system detects that the user is about to enter the indoor space.

[0092] Indoor temperature can be detected by indoor sensors. Indoor temperature may include the temperature of the return air vent of the indoor unit and / or the temperature of the area where the terminal equipment is installed and / or the temperature of the area outside the indoor unit and the terminal equipment.

[0093] In this embodiment, the indoor temperature may include a temperature representing the temperature within a human height range, such as a body-feeling temperature or a corrected indoor temperature. The indoor temperature may include a first indoor temperature and / or a second indoor temperature, wherein the first indoor temperature is the first indoor temperature detected by the wired controller in the indoor space. The first indoor temperature may be the temperature detected by a sensor in the wired controller or the temperature signal received by the wired controller from an external device (such as an air cube or an external temperature sensor, etc.); the second indoor temperature representing the temperature within a human height range is determined based on the return air temperature of the indoor unit and the operating status of the heat pump system. The return air temperature is detected by a sensor installed at the return air vent of the indoor unit. The operating status here may include at least one of the following: indoor unit on / off state, outdoor unit on / off state, defrosting state, oil return state, etc. In this embodiment, the heat pump system is in a first state, which includes situations where some indoor units are on or all indoor units are off. The second indoor temperature can be determined based on the return air temperature and the coil temperature data of the indoor heat exchanger (including the mid-temperature and / or outlet temperature of the indoor heat exchanger). For example, the second indoor temperature can be determined based on a first coefficient, the return air temperature and its corresponding second coefficient, the mid-temperature of the indoor heat exchanger and its corresponding third coefficient, and a fourth coefficient corresponding to the mid-temperature of the indoor heat exchanger. Here, the presence of an on indoor unit is defined as the first sub-state, and all indoor units being off is defined as the second sub-state. The first coefficient corresponding to the first sub-state is greater than the first coefficient corresponding to the second sub-state. The corresponding second coefficient is less than the second coefficient corresponding to the second sub-state; the third coefficient corresponding to the first sub-state (less than 0) is less than the third coefficient corresponding to the second sub-state (greater than 0); the fourth coefficient corresponding to the first sub-state is less than the fourth coefficient corresponding to the second sub-state. When the heat pump system is in the second state (including when the outdoor unit's operating time is less than or equal to the first operating time), the return air temperature is determined as the second indoor temperature. When the heat pump system is in the third state (including when the heat pump system is in defrosting or oil return state, or when the defrosting end time is less than the second operating time, or the oil return end time is less than the third operating time), the second indoor temperature before the heat pump system enters defrosting or oil return state can be taken as the current second indoor temperature. Specifically, when the heat pump system is not in the third state but in the second state, the return air temperature is determined as the second indoor temperature. When the heat pump system is not in the second or third state, the second indoor temperature is determined based on the return air temperature, the middle temperature of the indoor heat exchanger, and the outlet temperature of the indoor heat exchanger.

[0094] The return air temperature can be compared with the indoor temperature limit to determine whether the indoor unit is operating reliably. The indoor temperature can be obtained at the moment the rapid heating function is activated.

[0095] Step S20: Control the operation of the heat pump system and the heating system according to the indoor temperature to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal equipment.

[0096] Based on the indoor temperature, determine the target equipment among the indoor units and terminal devices that needs to increase its heating capacity, and control the target equipment to increase its heating capacity. Alternatively, based on the indoor temperature, determine the first increase in heating capacity required by the indoor units and the second increase in heating capacity required by the terminal devices, control the operation of the heat pump system based on the first increase in heating capacity, and control the operation of the heating system based on the second increase in heating capacity.

[0097] During the operation of the heat pump system and heating system, the operation can be controlled according to the temperature range of the indoor temperature, or according to the relationship between the indoor temperature and the preset temperature.

[0098] Controlling the operation of a heat pump system to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit includes at least one of the following: increasing the operating frequency of the compressor, increasing the speed of the indoor fan, increasing the set temperature of the indoor unit, etc.

[0099] Controlling the operation of a heating system to increase the heating capacity of terminal equipment includes at least one of the following: increasing the heating power of the heating equipment, increasing the air-fuel ratio when the heating equipment is a gas-fired equipment, increasing the target temperature of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop, increasing the refrigerant flow rate in the terminal equipment, etc.

[0100] This embodiment provides a control method for an environmental conditioning system. After the rapid heating function of the environmental conditioning system is activated, the method controls the heat pump system and / or heating system to increase their heating capacity in the indoor space according to the indoor temperature, instead of directly controlling both systems to start heating. This ensures that the heating capacity of the system can match the actual operating conditions, avoids overheating of the indoor temperature, and effectively improves indoor comfort and system operation reliability.

[0101] In one feasible implementation, the step of controlling the operation of the heat pump system and the heating system according to the indoor temperature to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal device includes: controlling the operation of the heat pump system and the heating system according to the indoor temperature, the target temperature of the indoor space, and the temperature limit value of the indoor unit to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal device.

[0102] The target temperature is the desired indoor temperature to meet user comfort requirements. The target temperature can be input by the user or set by the environmental control system based on actual operating conditions.

[0103] Temperature limits include the maximum and / or minimum indoor temperatures allowed for reliable operation of the indoor unit. These limits can be preset fixed values ​​or values ​​determined based on the actual operating conditions of the heat pump system. For example, the temperature limits can be determined based on at least one of the operating parameters, including the outdoor ambient temperature, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger in the indoor unit, the number of indoor units in the heat pump system operating in heating mode, and so on.

[0104] In one implementation, a first relationship between indoor temperature and target temperature and a second relationship between indoor temperature and temperature limit value can be determined, and the operation of heat pump system and heating system can be controlled according to the first relationship and the second relationship.

[0105] In another implementation, the indoor temperature, target temperature, and temperature limit value are substituted into the first formula to calculate the first heating capacity required to be increased by the indoor unit, and the indoor temperature, target temperature, and temperature limit value are substituted into the second formula to calculate the second heating capacity required to be increased by the terminal equipment. The heat pump system is controlled to operate based on the first heating capacity, and the heating system is controlled to operate based on the second heating capacity.

[0106] In this embodiment, the target temperature reflects indoor comfort requirements, and the temperature limit value accurately reflects the reliability requirements of the indoor unit. By combining the indoor temperature, target temperature, and temperature limit value to control the operation of the heat pump system and heating system, the accuracy of the environmental control system's control over the heating capacity of the indoor space can be improved, which is conducive to further improving indoor comfort and system operational reliability.

[0107] In other embodiments, the heat pump system and heating system may be controlled to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal device based on the indoor temperature and temperature limit value. Alternatively, the heat pump system and heating system may be controlled to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal device based on the indoor temperature, target temperature, temperature limit value, and the protection temperature of the terminal device.

[0108] In one feasible implementation, the indoor unit is installed at a height greater than or equal to a first preset height in the indoor space. The indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan. Driven by the indoor fan, indoor air can exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger. The indoor temperature includes a first ambient temperature, which characterizes the air temperature at the air return vent of the indoor unit in the indoor space. The terminal device is installed at a height less than or equal to a second preset height in the indoor space. The second preset height is less than the first preset height. The indoor temperature includes a second ambient temperature, which characterizes the air temperature in the indoor space within a range less than or equal to the second preset height. The temperature limit value includes a second limit value and a third limit value, where the third limit value is greater than the second limit value. In this embodiment, the terminal device includes a radiant terminal device installed on the ground. When the indoor unit is a wall-mounted air conditioner, the overall height of the indoor unit is greater than or equal to the first preset height. When the indoor unit is a cabinet-type air conditioner, the height of the air outlet of the indoor unit is greater than or equal to the first preset height. The second ambient temperature here may include the first indoor temperature and / or the second indoor temperature mentioned above. The second ambient temperature can be determined according to the methods mentioned above, which will not be elaborated here. Here, "less than or equal to the second preset height range" refers to the height range at which the human body is located.

[0109] In one implementation of this embodiment, controlling the operation of the heat pump system and the heating system based on the indoor temperature, the target temperature of the indoor space, and the temperature limit value of the indoor unit to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal device includes:

[0110] When the temperature difference between the target temperature and the second ambient temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the second ambient temperature is less than the second limit value, and the first ambient temperature is less than the first limit value, the heat pump system is controlled to operate to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit.

[0111] When the temperature difference between the target temperature and the second ambient temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference and the second ambient temperature is less than the second limit value, the heating system is controlled to operate to increase the heating capacity of the terminal equipment.

[0112] The second preset temperature difference is less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference.

[0113] The preset temperature difference is used to distinguish whether the indoor space has a need for rapid heating. The temperature limit value is used to distinguish whether the heat pump system has a reliability risk under the current indoor temperature conditions.

[0114] In this embodiment, the temperature limit value includes the maximum indoor temperature that is allowed for reliable operation of the indoor unit.

[0115] In this embodiment, when the temperature difference between the target temperature and the second ambient temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference, and the second ambient temperature is less than the second limit value, it indicates that the temperature in the human body's height range is too low, which will cause discomfort to the human body. During the process of adjusting the temperature of the human body's area to the user's state, the indoor unit maintains a reliable operating state. At this time, the terminal device heats up, which helps to ensure the reliable operation of the heat pump system while meeting the user's comfort. When the temperature difference between the target temperature and the second ambient temperature is greater than the first preset temperature difference, it indicates that the temperature in the human body's height range is too low, which will cause poor human comfort. On this basis, the first ambient temperature is less than the first limit value, which indicates that the indoor unit is not at risk of reliability. The second ambient temperature is less than the second limit value, which indicates that the indoor unit maintains a reliable operating state during the process of adjusting the temperature of the human body's area to the user's state. At this time, the terminal device heats up while the indoor unit increases its heating capacity, which helps to quickly increase the temperature of the human body's area by utilizing the rapid heating characteristics of the indoor unit, thereby ensuring the reliability of the indoor unit's operation and effectively improving the human comfort in the indoor space. When the second preset temperature difference is set to be less than or equal to the first preset temperature difference, the start-up heating conditions of the indoor unit and the terminal equipment are different. The start-up heating conditions of the indoor unit will be more stringent than those of the terminal equipment. Based on this, combined with the different installation heights of the indoor unit and the terminal equipment in the indoor space, it is beneficial to ensure that the indoor unit meets the temperature conditions first, and the terminal equipment is used to heat the indoor space first, reducing temperature stratification in the indoor space, ensuring that the heat can be concentrated in the area where people are located in the indoor space, ensuring the reliability of system operation, and further improving the comfort of people in the indoor space.

[0116] In other embodiments, when the indoor temperature is lower than a temperature limit, the heat pump system can be controlled to operate to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit, and the heating system can be controlled to operate to increase the heating capacity of the terminal device. Alternatively, when the temperature difference between the target temperature and the indoor temperature is greater than a preset temperature difference, and the indoor temperature is lower than the temperature limit, the heat pump system can be controlled to operate to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit, and the heating system can be controlled to operate to increase the heating capacity of the terminal device.

[0117] In one implementation of this embodiment, the step of controlling the operation of the heat pump system and the heating system based on the indoor temperature, the target temperature of the indoor space, and the temperature limit value of the indoor unit to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal device includes:

[0118] When the first ambient temperature exceeds the third limit value, the heat pump system is controlled to stop the indoor unit from heating; and / or

[0119] When the temperature difference between the target temperature and the second ambient temperature is greater than the second preset temperature difference and the second ambient temperature is less than the second limit value, the heating system is controlled to operate to increase the heating capacity of the terminal equipment.

[0120] The heating stop state includes one of the following: running in fan mode, in cooling mode, in shutdown mode, in standby mode, etc.

[0121] When the indoor unit is currently in a stopped heating state, the heat pump system stopping the indoor unit's heating may include maintaining the indoor unit's current stopped heating state; when the indoor unit is currently in an on state, the heat pump system stopping the indoor unit's heating may include switching the indoor unit from an on state to a off state or maintaining the heat pump system in an on state but reducing the heating capacity.

[0122] The heating capacity provided by the terminal equipment here can be greater than the heating capacity provided by the terminal equipment when the indoor temperature is below the temperature limit value, thus ensuring the efficiency of rapid heating of the indoor space.

[0123] In this embodiment, when the indoor space has a need for rapid heating but the heat pump system has reliability risks, the indoor unit, being a convective heat exchange terminal device, has a large heat output. Furthermore, since warmer air in the indoor space tends to rise, the temperature in the higher areas of the indoor space can easily reach the upper limit of the indoor unit's reliability. In this case, shutting down the indoor unit and using the terminal device alone for heating helps to effectively raise the temperature in the lower areas of the indoor space, meeting the need for rapid indoor heating and improving the reliability of the heat pump system while ensuring indoor comfort.

[0124] In other embodiments, the heat pump system can be controlled to stop heating or reduce the heating capacity of the indoor unit when the indoor temperature is greater than or equal to the temperature limit value of the indoor unit, and the heating system can be controlled to increase the heating capacity of the terminal device.

[0125] In one feasible implementation, the step of controlling the operation of the heat pump system to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit includes: controlling the indoor unit to start heating operation when the indoor unit is in standby or off state; or, increasing the set temperature of the indoor unit when the indoor unit is in heating state, and controlling the operation of the heat pump system according to the increased set temperature of the indoor unit.

[0126] Here, "heat pump system turning on indoor unit heating" refers to the indoor unit switching from a stopped heating state to a heating state.

[0127] Turning on the indoor unit of a heat pump system for heating includes turning on the indoor unit when the heat pump system is in heating operation, or starting the heat pump system for heating operation and turning on the indoor unit (turning on the indoor unit includes turning on the indoor fan in the indoor unit, or turning on the indoor fan in the indoor unit and opening the electronic expansion valve in the indoor unit).

[0128] The operating parameters of the heat pump system after the indoor unit is turned on for heating can be the default parameters or the operating parameters of the heat pump system when both the indoor unit and the terminal equipment are in heating mode after the last time the quick heating function was turned on.

[0129] In this embodiment, the heat pump system includes more than one indoor unit, with different indoor units located in different indoor spaces. The step of controlling the operation of the heat pump system based on the set temperature of the enlarged indoor unit includes: determining the current energy demand based on the set temperature of the enlarged indoor unit and the current set temperature of the indoor units in other indoor spaces, and controlling the operation of the heat pump system based on the current energy demand.

[0130] In this embodiment, the heating capacity of the indoor unit can be effectively increased through the above method, so as to achieve rapid heating to meet the indoor comfort requirements.

[0131] In one feasible implementation, the step of controlling the operation of the heating system to increase the heating capacity of the terminal device includes: controlling the terminal device to start heating operation when the terminal device is in standby or off state; or, adjusting the set temperature of the terminal device when the terminal device is in heating state, and controlling the operation of the heating system to increase the heating capacity of the terminal device according to the adjusted set temperature of the terminal device.

[0132] The activation of heating in the terminal equipment of the heating system includes starting the heating equipment in the heating system, or starting the heating equipment and opening the circulation pump in the refrigerant circulation loop and / or the control valve corresponding to the terminal equipment, or when the terminal equipment includes a convection terminal, the fan in the convection terminal switches from the closed state to the open state, or starting the heating equipment and when the terminal equipment includes a convection terminal, the fan in the convection terminal switches from the closed state to the open state, etc.

[0133] The operating parameters of the heating system after the terminal equipment is turned on can be the default parameters or the operating parameters of the heating system when both the indoor unit and the terminal equipment are in heating mode after the quick heating function was last turned on.

[0134] In this embodiment, the heating system further includes a refrigerant circulation loop and a heating device. Both the heating device and the terminal device are located within the refrigerant circulation loop. The set temperature includes a target refrigerant temperature in the refrigerant circulation loop. The step of adjusting the set temperature of the terminal device and controlling the operation of the heating system based on the adjusted set temperature of the terminal device includes: increasing the current target refrigerant temperature of the terminal device according to a first temperature adjustment value to obtain a first target refrigerant temperature, and controlling the operation of the heating system based on the first target refrigerant temperature; or, increasing the current refrigerant temperature of the refrigerant circulation loop according to a second temperature adjustment value to obtain a second target refrigerant temperature, and controlling the operation of the heating system based on the second target refrigerant temperature; or, increasing the user-set temperature of the heating system to obtain a reference value for the target refrigerant temperature, and determining the adjusted set temperature of the terminal device based on the maximum value between the reference value and a preset refrigerant temperature, and controlling the operation of the heating system based on the adjusted set temperature.

[0135] In this embodiment, the target refrigerant temperature, the first target refrigerant temperature, the second target refrigerant temperature, and the set temperature adjusted by the terminal device can be the target value of the refrigerant temperature flowing out of the heating device (e.g., gas device) or the target value of the refrigerant temperature flowing into the terminal device, etc.

[0136] The refrigerant temperature here is the temperature detected in real time by the temperature detection module mentioned above.

[0137] The first and second temperature adjustment values ​​can be preset fixed values, or they can be values ​​determined based on the actual operation of the environmental control system. For example, the first or second temperature adjustment value can be determined based on the temperature difference between the return air temperature of the indoor unit and the temperature of the area where the terminal equipment is located.

[0138] The preset refrigerant temperature is the protective temperature of the refrigerant corresponding to the high heating output of the terminal equipment. The user-set temperature is the target ambient temperature that the indoor space needs to reach when the heating system is running, set by the user based on their own needs. Increasing the user-set temperature by adjusting the preset temperature value yields a reference value here. The maximum value between the reference value and the preset refrigerant temperature is determined as the adjusted set temperature of the terminal equipment.

[0139] In this embodiment, the heating capacity of the terminal device can be effectively increased through the above-described method to achieve rapid temperature rise and meet indoor comfort requirements. Specifically, combining the reference value obtained after increasing the user-set temperature with the maximum value among the preset refrigerant temperatures to determine the adjusted set temperature of the terminal device helps ensure the reliability of the heating system while meeting indoor comfort needs.

[0140] Based on any of the above embodiments, in the second embodiment of this application, the same or similar content as the above embodiments can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 4 After the step of controlling the operation of the heat pump system and the heating system according to the indoor temperature to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal equipment, the method further includes step S30:

[0141] Step S30: When the preset conditions are met, control the environmental control system to exit the rapid heating function;

[0142] The preset conditions include at least one of the following:

[0143] Condition 1: The temperature of the indoor space is greater than or equal to the preset comfortable temperature;

[0144] Condition 2: The surface temperature of the terminal device is greater than the first preset temperature;

[0145] Condition 3: The heating duration of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the preset duration.

[0146] In this embodiment, after step S30, step S30 is executed when both the indoor unit and the terminal device are in heating mode.

[0147] The preset conditions indicate that the indoor space does not require rapid heating.

[0148] Condition 1 indicates that the indoor temperature has reached a comfortable level for the user and there is no need for rapid heating.

[0149] Conditions 2 and 3 indicate that the area where the terminal device is located has already undergone a relatively long heating time, and the terminal device can effectively heat the indoor space without the need for rapid heating.

[0150] When the rapid heating function of the environmental control system is turned off, the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or terminal equipment is reduced.

[0151] In this embodiment, controlling the system to exit rapid heating control in the above manner can effectively prevent the indoor temperature from overheating while ensuring the system's heat exchange efficiency, thereby improving indoor comfort and system energy efficiency.

[0152] In one feasible implementation of this embodiment, after the environmental conditioning system is deactivated from the rapid heating function, the method further includes: controlling the heat pump system to operate in the state before the rapid heating function was activated, and controlling the heating system to operate so that the terminal device can heat at the heating capacity before the rapid heating function was activated; or, controlling the indoor unit to turn off, and controlling the terminal device to operate in heating mode.

[0153] If the indoor unit was in a stopped heating state before the quick-heating function was activated, then the indoor unit will return to the stopped heating state; if the indoor unit was in a heating state before the quick-heating function was activated, then the indoor unit will maintain its heating function and output the heating capacity before the quick-heating function was activated.

[0154] If the target refrigerant temperature in the refrigerant circulation loop before the rapid heating function is activated is defined as the initial target refrigerant temperature, then controlling the operation of the heating system so that the terminal device maintains heating at the heating capacity before the rapid heating function is activated may include: controlling the operation of the heating system with the initial target refrigerant temperature.

[0155] In this embodiment, when the rapid heating function is deactivated, the heat pump system resumes its original operation, and the heating system continues to heat the indoor space. This helps maintain a relatively comfortable indoor environment through the slow heating provided by the terminal devices. Furthermore, when the rapid heating function is deactivated, the indoor unit shuts off while the terminal devices continue heating, which helps save system energy and maintains a relatively comfortable temperature in the indoor space through the continued heating provided by the terminal devices.

[0156] In other embodiments, when the rapid heating function is deactivated, both the heat pump system and the heating system can operate in the state they were in before the rapid heating function was activated.

[0157] Based on any of the above embodiments, in this embodiment, after the step of controlling the operation of the heat pump system and the heating system according to the indoor temperature to increase the heating capacity of the indoor unit and / or the heating capacity of the terminal device, the method further includes: obtaining the current indoor temperature of the indoor space; when the current indoor temperature is greater than the shutdown temperature and the duration is greater than the set duration, controlling the indoor unit to shut down.

[0158] The shutdown temperature here can be a preset fixed temperature or a temperature determined based on the actual operating conditions of the heat pump system. In this embodiment, the reference shutdown temperature is obtained by increasing the current set temperature of the indoor unit according to the preset temperature adjustment value, and the minimum temperature between the reference shutdown temperature and the preset shutdown temperature is determined as the shutdown temperature here.

[0159] In this embodiment, the above method helps to ensure that the indoor unit stops when the indoor space is at a relatively comfortable temperature, which helps to avoid the indoor temperature from getting too hot and further improves indoor comfort.
